Criminal Minds (2005–…): Season 7, Episode 1 - It Takes a Village - full transcript

Previously,
on Criminal Minds...

When do I leave?

The end of the week.

They can't just take you away.

It's done.

You want me to raise your son
so he can have your life?

-He needs a mother.
You can't do this.

-Go to your father.
-That corner right there,

that's where he died, and
that's where I'm gonna kill you.

There's something you don't know
about those photos.

GARClA: Oh, God, so he took
pictures of them being shot.



-Look at the fingernails.
-Oh, my God!

Just because
I held a gun to him,

it doesn't mean I shot him.

-I staged his death.
-He's alive?!

(crying, grunting)

No, no, no. No, Emily.

Stay with me.
Come on, stay with me.

Where is my medic?!

WOMAN: She never made it
off the table.

MAN: I didn't get
a chance to say good-bye.

MORGAN: Yeah, sometimes
I feel like I want

to quit my job
and spend my time chasing down

the son of a bitch
who killed Emily.

You're damn right I'm angry.
-HOTCH: The Bureau is facing



a lot of changes--
over the next few weeks

each of you is going to be asked

if you'd like
to stay with the unit.

Why wouldn't we?
-There are

other options for you out there.

You've given some thought
to what we discussed?

I'm coming back.

And how long have you
been back with the Bureau?

Three and a half months, sir.

A lot has happened since then.

Sabbaticals, transfers,
reassignments.

Four of you remained
in the unit?

Agents Rossi,
Morgan and I were there

with our technical analyst,
Penelope Garcia.

SENATOR:
Mm.

You had 14 cases in that time.

17, sir.

Ah, yes.

In 14 weeks.

That's impressive.

Thank you.

But what's more impressive...

is the fact that you
were reinstated, promoted

and suspended
in that short time.

I believe that's a record,
Agent Jareau.

Why aren't we in there?

They're just trying
to intimidate us.

Well, that's
not about to happen.

I'm not okay with this.

You may not even be a witness.

Sir, I'm not worried about me.

Don't they have anything
better to do than...

Baby girl, this is just
what they do.

ROSSl:
Anything?

Doesn't look good.

How long is
she gonna be in there?

-SENATOR: Two days?
-That's correct.

How can an investigation

be active for just two days

when the gathering
of intel took months?

There's surveillance
and hundreds of man-hours

to prove it.

Yes, that's true, but...

How often do you spend

-months on a case, Agent?
We don't,

-but this one was...
-Personal?

Different.

-lt required a lot of detail.
-lf this was too big

for your team, why wasn't it
a joint task force?

We didn't have time, sir.

Once the subject was confirmed,
we had to act quickly.

(door creaks, bangs wall)

? ?

(door bangs wall)

(clattering)

(grunting)

(grunting continues)

(grunting continues)

(over radio):
I've got the shot, Agent.

MORGAN:
Don't take the shot!

Don't shoot! I got him!

Want to kill me yourself, Agent?

(panting)

Do you realize what you've done?

Yes, we put an international

criminal with terrorist
connections in Federal custody.

You may consider that a victory,

but you used government funds
for a personal vendetta,

never called Homeland Security,

and now, six people, including
two of your agents, are dead.

JJ:
Queen Elizabeth I said,

"The past cannot be cured. "

Interpol, Europol, the ClA.

No one could locate lan Doyle...

-except Agent Morgan.
Well, it wasn't easy.

Doyle disappeared underground.

Looks like Agent Morgan spent
the first few months following

Doyle's arms-dealing contacts
but came up empty.

So... how did he find him?

After hitting dead ends

in that world, Agent Morgan
put himself in Doyle's shoes

and knew that he would be
looking for his son Declan.

Okay,
Emily needed to get Declan

a new identity... so she must
have used someone she trusted.

All right, well,
that's the short list,

but it's probably
not even written down.

Even if it was, she's had
contacts all over the world.

Oh, tell me about it.
Two columns--

domestic and imports.

Hey.

You guys seen Spence?

He's at the firing range.

-Again?
-Ever since Prentiss died, he...

Right. Uh...

did you just get a new case?

It's just an old one.

Do you want some fresh eyes?

-Not just yet.
-Okay.

Um, well, let me know.

Shouldn't we tell her?

Garcia, this has been

a long shot for six months--
why get her hopes up?

What about Hotch?

He knows I'm doing this.

He does?

Not technically, but he knows

I'm not about
to let Doyle roam free.

Does he know
we're looking for Declan?

I just figured I'd call him
when I have something to report.

Okay.

But it feels weird not sharing.

Baby girl...

you don't have to do this.

I know.

Did you trust Agent Jareau?

I did.

-But don't anymore?
-I didn't say that.

You left her out
but involved Penelope Garcia,

whom you trust.

-That is not why.
-lsn't it?

Her specific skills
were very helpful.

For your vendetta.

For justice.

You don't believe in the system?

Ian Doyle wasn't

at the top of
anyone's list, Senator.

Except yours.

I'm thinking domestic contacts.

Em was already

in the States when
she faked Declan's death, so...

her associates
must be in Boston?

No, Garcia, she would've covered
her tracks better than that.

(Garcia sighs)

All right, why did Prentiss
join the BAU?

(Garcia chuckles)

To have a normal life.

She could have gone anywhere
with her skill set,

but she chose DC.

Maybe to be close to her mom?

No. No way.

That was just by default.

Garcia, she did all of this
to protect a child.

Right. So you're saying
she came here

just so she
could be close to the kid.

And if she did, she probably
had people she could trust

-living right here.
-Right. So domestic contacts.

There are surprising few
in our nation's capitol.

One of which is dead--
Ben Corelli.

He was a forger.

Doyle killed him
and Prentiss's friend.

He worked out of
his apartment, remember?

Yeah, and we processed
his belongings.

Thanks.

This would have been
a heck of a lot easier

had he gone digital.

Garcia, there's
an art to all of this.

This guy was meticulous.

Definite control freak.

Yeah, he's dead;
he couldn't control that.

There can't be a lot
of l.D.'s for children.

Actually, you would
be surprised.

MORGAN:
Okay, wait a minute.

Didn't Prentiss live in Reston,
Virginia, for a while?

Yeah, before we knew her,

she rented a big house
in a cul-de-sac.

Okay, why would she live
way out there?

-To be close to Declan...
-Mm-hmm.

who had blond hair
and blue eyes.

Well, I'm sure they changed
his color by now.

Yeah, but you can't change
those cerulean blues.

Okay, here's the nanny.

Garcia, she still
lives in Virginia.

GARClA:
Here's all I've got.

Declan's going to a boarding
school in Stafford County.

Nanny lives five minutes
from campus.

All signs point
to a really well adjusted kid.

He 's an honors student.

He plays lacrosse.

He 's winning science fairs.

It looks like he 's got

the life Emily
wanted him to have.

You watched Declan
for two months?

I knew if I could find him,

it was only a matter of time
before Doyle did.

Around-the-clock surveillance
requires constant presence.

When I wasn't in the field,
I was there.

And when you were on a case?

I set up pole cameras
for surveillance.

Under what authority, Agent?

Senator, I needed to protect

this child, because I knew Doyle
would find him eventually.

(paper unfolding)

And what was the plan
once you found lan Doyle?

Lock down security on his son
and then move in on Doyle.

(whispers):
Oh, my God! Oh, my God!

It's him.
I'm-I'm pretty sure it's him.

It's blurry and, you know, he's
not, like, posing for the camera

or anything like that,
but you said he'd come

and it's been a while
and now he's here...

Garcia, Garcia, calm down.
Let me take a look.

That's when Agent Morgan

initiated the assault
on lan Doyle?

GARClA: What? No, it doesn't
work that way, sir.

Agent Morgan called Hotch--

excuse me, our unit chief.

Who was on temporary duty.

Imagine he wasn't easy to find.

When the team downsized,

he was assigned to lead
an investigative task force.

Hotchner.

MORGAN (over phone):
Hey. It's me.

-How's it going out there?
You know,

Iong days, some
territorial issues to work out,

nothing surprising.

How's evertyhing there?

Hotch, we found Declan Doyle.

What?!
-MORGAN: Listen, I knew

that finding the kid
was the only way

I could find Doyle, Hotch.

I know what
you're thinking, man.

Is Declan safe?

MORGAN:
Yeah, he is for now.

I've had surveillance

at his house and his school
for a few weeks.

Morgan, I didn't authorize this.

MORGAN: I know you didn't,
Hotch, but listen to me.

I think Doyle may have found
Declan, too.

All right, I'm coming back.

You want me to wait?

Morgan, it could be a trap.

You make sure
you have eyes on Doyle.

And if it is him?

Then you take the shot.

MORGAN:
You got any movement?

Negative.
No movement detected.

That's all Hotch said?

"Take the shot"?

Yeah, but he's pissed.

(phone ringing)

Hey, Spence.

RElD:
Can't find him.

WhatWhat do you mean,
you can't find him?

The headmaster said
Declan got sick and went home.

Oh, just, okay, uh, call
for backup and get to the house.

We're already here.
-JENNlFER: You see the agents?

RElD:
Their car is out front.

The lights are off.

RElD:
I'll call you back.

(phone beeps off)

Well, no. Reid?!

(JJ scoffs,
phone beeps off)

(door squeaks open)

(phone handset beeping)

(phone handset beeping)

(phone beeps off)

I'll check the back.

You take the hallway.

Must be the nanny.

Three bodies and no kid.

Doyle's got him.

(sirens blaring)

(tires screeching,
engines revving)

MORGAN: The squad car that
went by got Doyle's attention.

-(tires squealing)
You see that?

SNlPER:
I've got movement.

He's in there.

(door squeaks open,
bangs on wall)

MORGAN:
We had to move quickly.

Agent Hotchner said
if we had the shot, take it.

(thud, metallic clattering)

He's going to the roof.

JJ, cover the back stairs.

Spence.

What do you mean, he's gone?

I've got the shot, Agent.

Don't take the shot!
Don't shoot! I got him!

Want to kill me yourself, Agent?

CRAMER:
Why didn't you let him

take the shot, Agent?

Because a bullet
to lan Doyle's brain

would have ended his life
too easily?

You wanted him to suffer.

He deserved the same beating
he gave Prentiss,

but I did not unleash that
on him, Senator.

CRAMER:
No, you didn't.

Instead, your actions

put an innocent child's life
on the line.

(coughing)

(coughing)

ROSSl: Have you ever been
in the field?

CRAMER:
I have,

but I'm not the one
on trial, Agent.

ROSSl:
Then maybe you can imagine

what it was like
for Agent Morgan

to find Emily Prentiss dying...

at the hands of lan Doyle.

Now, ask yourself...

was it wrong for him to want

to take that man out?

Forgotten
where I've been, Agent?

(door closes)

Places far worse than this.

Doyle, where's Declan?

Don't play dumb.

You found him a month
before I did.

He's living
in that lovely little house

our friend set up for him.

Should have found it sooner.

Finally remembered
she likes cul-de-sacs.

Where is Declan right now?

You expect me to believe

you had nothing
to do with his abduction?

And you expect me to believe
this isn't part of the strategy?

You tell me my son is missing

when I know he was safe
a few hours ago?

You'll have
to get more creative.

Listen to me,
you son of a bitch!

I am not playing games
with you!

If you care about anybody
other than yourself,

you give me a list
of who would have done this.

Why would anyone take Declan?

You tell me.

-No one even knows he exists.
-Someone does,

because when we followed you
to that little rat trap,

somebody took him
from his house.

Somebody else was watching you,
Doyle.

-Now tell me who.
-I don't know.

I don't.

Your son is missing...

so think.

I don't know.

How long has Agent Morgan
been looking for Doyle?

The night he killed Prentiss
in Boston?

He refused to believe
Doyle just vanished.

He's been investigating Doyle
for seven months?

Mm.

Are you surprised?

(sighs)

He seems genuine.

Of course he does.

He's a master manipulator.

See his carotid?

His heart started racing

when Morgan told him
about Declan.

The tightness in his forehead,

his darting eyes are signs
of real concern.

Well, if he didn't take his son,
then, who did?

(static)

Damn it.

(Garcia typing, then static)

(beep, then phone line ringing)

GARClA: Rossi, it's me.
I just see one ninja-like guy.

You sure?
Yeah. He came out of nowhere

and just clipped the camera.
I'm sorry.

Don't worry, Garcia.
You were busy looking for Doyle.

(phone beeps off)

She didn't see a team
on the footage.

This was well organized.

One could have cut the camera
while the other started in here.

So, they cut off the power,
but no signs of forced entry.

So, how do you overpower
two armed agents?

A male and female.

Maybe whoever did this posed
as the next shift?

Makes sense.

Evertyhing about them
seems efficient.

Except they took the time
to shove her in the closet.

So it's personal
and professional.

Only Declan
and the caregiver live here,

so whose stuff is this?

40 long.

You still think
Doyle is behind this?

He's capable of a lot of things,

but being two places at once
isn't one of 'em.

Doyle, I'm going
to ask you one last time:

Who hates you enough
to take him?

How long has it been?

Six hours.

You've had your time
to find him.

Now let me have mine.

That's not about to happen.

He didn't do it.

Nope.

What the hell is going on here?

What?

Nothing.

Has Aaron landed?

He's on his way.

Good.

(door opens, closes)

Welcome back, sir.

Thank you.
What have you got?

Uh, top ten list
of Doyle's enemies.

Anybody recently in the States?

Richard Gerace's been here
a few weeks.

He's a low-level gunrunner

who angrily
crossed paths with Doyle.

I caught an image of him

on a surveillance camera
at Declan's house.

Confirmed it was him
through a scar on his neck.

All right, get me evertyhing
you can on Gerace.

Yeah. What I've just told you
is evertyhing I've got.

(sighs)

(door closes)

Well, that's a good look.

How was the desert?

Hot.

Have you seen Jack yet?

No. Jessica took him
to Hershey Park for the weekend.

Well, he'll love that beard.

Yeah, we Skyped every day.

He's not a fan.

(phone beeping)

Doyle, do you consider
Richard Gerace an enemy?

I don't consider him at all.

Tell me about him.

Gave him a nasty scar
in Belfast 20 years ago.

Hasn't been my problem since.

Whose problem was he?

She won't help.

Why not?

Because I killed her.

CRAMER: He was referring
to Agent Prentiss?

That's correct, sir.

The government spent $17,400
on her funeral

and another $642,000
on medical expenses,

but... this is
no surprise to you.

Hey. Got your message.

It's time.

Why? Morgan may be able
to break Doyle without her.

Declan tried to make a call;
she's on her way.

(sighs)

All right, I'll get Morgan.

I'll tell the others.

You getting anywhere with Doyle?

Doyle doesn't think Gerace has
the guts to take him on.

But that's definitely
Gerace on the tape.

Welcome back.

Thanks.

Everybody, have a seat.

Why?

What's going on?
Evertyhing all right?

Seven months ago,
I made a decision

that affected this team.

As you all know, Emily had lost

a lot of blood
after her fight with Doyle.

But the doctors were able
to stabilize her

and she was airlifted
from Boston to Bethesda

under covert exfiltration.

Her identity was
strictly need-to-know.

And she stayed there until
she was well enough to travel.

She was reassigned to Paris

where she was given several
identities, none of which

we had access to,
for her security.

She's alive?

But we buried her.

As I said, I take full
responsibility for the decision.

If anyone has any issues, they
should be directed toward me.

Any issues?!

Yeah, I got issues.

(footsteps approach)

Oh, my God.

(bell tolls)

(Prentiss speaks indistinctly)

At least you got her back.

Did we?

I am so sorry, I really am.

Not a day went by
that I didn't want to...

Really, l...

You didn't deserve that,

and I'm so sorry.

(sighs)

There is so much
I want to tell you guys,

and, and I will, I promise,
but right now,

I really need to know
what's going on with Declan.

Emily, was there a man
living at the house?

Yes, my friend Tom Koehler.

He was raising Declan
as his own.

Where is he? -I never saw him
go in or out of that house.

Uh, he was
on assignment overseas.

But, but he's all right?

Yes, he's on his way back now.

He got a call from Declan, he
called me, and when I landed,

Hotch told me that you had Doyle
in custody.

And because of Tom's
line of work, that's why

you enrolled Declan
in a boarding school.

I made sure
that he, Louise, and I were

the only ones allowed
to take him off campus.

Louise took him home last night
because he was sick.

-Food poisoning.
Yeah, a few of the kids

had it, apparently,
so whoever did this got

to him on campus.

They knew they only had
one chance.

Current suspect
is Richard Gerace.

He's the most recent arrival
into the States.

We've been tracking his progress
through the city

but we came up empty.

We know it's him
because he has the scar.

That doesn't make sense.

Gerace gave up on Doyle
a long time ago.

He said you were the only one
who knew Gerace.

Which is why I'm pretty sure

he doesn't have the balls
to pull this off.

There was no forced entry
at the house?

I had two agents
working security.

We think Gerace
and his partner posed

as the next shift, and one
of the agents was a woman.

She's the alpha.

So we're looking for a woman
who's getting back at Doyle.

And our suspect list just
got a whole lot longer.

Doyle had relations
with all of these ladies?

Most.

Wow.

Hey, can you shoot these
into the roundtable room for me?

Anything you say,
Visitor Prentiss.

(Prentiss chuckles)
Thanks.

So you're actually back?

They'd been looking
for your replacement,

and Rossi called me.

(laughing):
That's great.

How's Will
with the long hours again?

Long story.

I haven't seen Ashley.

Oh, well, she transferred
to Andi Swann's unit.

Good for her.

So how angry is the team?

They're in shock.

Of course.

Thank you.

It is really good to see you.

(gentle laugh)

These women are associates
of Doyle's,

who may have crossed paths
with Gerace.

Anyone have a deeper
personal connection with Doyle?

Whoever took Declan showed
a lot of rage at the nanny.

She had been with Doyle
since before Declan was born.

No, the nanny represents
a caregiver, a mother figure.

Who is Declan's mother?

Doyle told me she was dead.

(Prentiss groaning)

Of course.

Which one is Declan's mom?

Chloe Donaghy, but she had
nothing to do with this.

How do you know?

Did you kill her, too?

DOYLE: Because she tried to kill
Declan before he was ever born.

(grunting)

(man exhales)

Do you know who I am?

No.

I'm your mom.

MORGAN: She brought tainted
cupcakes to the boarding school

and just walked right in.

Oh, that is creepy.

We thought Doyle was bad.
Check her out.

JJ: Yeah, she ran an
international prostitution ring

before moving on to chemicals.

RElD:
Distribution and trafficking,

manufacturing, possession,
weapons charges?

Went away for three years.

That's it?

JJ:
She hardly seems

Iike the mothering type.

Why would she take Declan?

It isn't love.

Who are
her contacts in the States?

Wherever they are,
they're as good as dead.

She works with people, sucks
them dry, and then... moves on.

She never wanted Declan.

Why would she take him?

This is about you, lan.

You just told me
you kept her a prisoner

-for nine months.
-Seven.

Seven.

Did Louise help deliver Declan?

Yes.

That's called revenge, lan.

Chloe didn't just forget
about what you put her through.

She would rather have been dead
than to have my baby.

What was I supposed to do?

Chaining her to a bed
wasn't the answer.

She received a lot of money
for her troubles.

That was torture, lan.

And you don't think
she's spent years

figuring out how to do
the same to you?

She took
the only thing you love.

What else would she and Gerace
have to gain from taking Declan?

Money.

That's all she ever cared about.

I need a list of everyone

with the kind of money
they're looking for

and anyone else
who wants to hurt you.

HOTCH: Forgetting
the international ties

for a minute,
what would these UnSubs do?

You know, statistically,
the abduction

of a child by its mother,

no matter the psychological
disposition of said mother,

would be one
of low risk to her child.

She's got plenty of connections.

She could go underground.

ROSSl: Is there anywhere
in the U.S. where Chloe

and Doyle had a history?

No, but they do have
a lot of ties in Europe.

Doyle came up
with associates of Chloe's

who have healthy bank accounts.

-He thinks it's a trade?
-GARClA: For what--

-weapons, drugs?
-Does it matter?

Garcia, run these names,

see if any have
local connections.

Yeah, what else should
I be looking for, you guys?

ROSSl:
Secluded properties.

MORGAN:
A legitimate business

that requires international
bank accounts and trade.

It could be mundane;
they survive under the radar.

MORGAN: Garcia,
start with lrish backgrounds.

This type of feud
could go back generations.

Oh, it looks like the Doyles
and the McDermotts have a thing.

What kind of thing?

Ian Doyle murdered
Jimmy McDermott,

but his younger brother Lachlan

owns an "import" company.

-Do they ship internationally?
You know it-- he has

three warehouses, one of which
is slated to be demolished.

Where?
-lnner Harbor, Baltimore.

Let's go.

I trust you called
the Baltimore City Police?

No, sir.

Certainly the harbor police?

-No, sir.
Why didn't you?

Last I checked,
it takes an hour to drive

from headquarters to Baltimore.

And I see your phones
were working.

He's gone.

Over here.

Doyle said Chloe
would clean house.

So what the hell
is she doing now?

She's getting
out of the country.

HOTCH:
Gerace was dead weight.

She thinks she's gonna get more
for the kid without him.

(phone rings)

Yeah?

-(phone beeps)
-Declan's disappeared.

They had him at the warehouse,
but now they're gone.

Your ex is working
with Lachlan McDermott.

How would he leave the country?

I don't know.

He's got endless funds.

You'll never stop him.

And he hates you, doesn't he?

More than you do.

Then I think we should give him
what he really wants.

You.

CRAMER: You're the one who
suggested lan Doyle be released.

RElD:
I am.

And you're the only agent

who has not requested
reinstatement to the unit.

-Mm-hmm.
Was the decision

to release lan Doyle
a personal one?

A young boy's life was at stake.

I ran the probability of his
survival, and it wasn't good.

If you want to punish me
for taking a risk,

then I encourage you to do that,
but do not put

the rest of team on trial

for something that I suggested.

Calm down, agent.

This is calm, and it's "Doctor."

No, we are not letting him

-out of here, Reid.
-Emily,

I will chain myself to him,
if I have to.

He'll find a way

-to escape.
-No, he won't.

And we're running out of time;
if we find McDermott now,

we have a chance
to save Declan.

CRAMER:
The United States government

is not in the business
of trading captives.

New York City, July 2010.

Referred to as the spy swap.

-lgor...
-That's enough.

You can't just change
the rules, sir.

And you just can't break them.

Is Strauss still there?

PRENTlSS (on phone):
She is.

We need full support.

Doyle said McDermott's family
imported weapons

to a private airfield
in Maryland.

-Close?
-Largo.

All right, send me
the coordinates.

I fully understand that, ma'am,

but I'm telling you,
it's only a matter of minutes

before they leave
the country with him.

But what makes you think

they won't take off
with Doyle and his son?

We won't let that happen.

You can't guarantee that.

I am certain that
without this move,

there is a very good chance
that little boy is going to die.

The team's already
on their way, aren't they?

Yes, ma'am.

He looks just like his father.

Makes me sick.

So what are you
gonna do with him?

I didn't think you cared.

I don't.

You were supposed
to get me Doyle.

What can I say?

Feds beat me to it.

He'll have to do.

As long as the kid's alive,
Doyle will find

a way to get to him.

Unless he gets killed
in custody.

(sirens wailing)

You played Gerace.

You're not gonna play me too.

I don't know what this is.

Lachlan McDermott and Chloe
Donaghy, this is the FBl.

You called the Feds?

Why would I do that?

HOTCH:
We know you have Declan.

To ensure his safety,
we would like to trade.

We will give you lan Doyle,
and you send us the boy.

No, this was,
this was not our deal.

No, but it just got interesting.

You're not leaving.

Get off of there.

Go on.

Bring Doyle here.

I want him here on his knees.

Hotch, are we really
gonna do this?

No one leaves here.

You bastard.

How's it feel, then?

It's your bloody time now,
isn't it?

Now hand him over.

Gun!

? ?

I remember you.

Sorry, son.

CRAMER: This team took many
unprecedented risks.

None were approved.

The DlOG has rules,

and you chose to ignore
every last one.

That's blatant disrespect
to the Bureau,

and to authority
of law in general.

What I find interesting

is that you are
the experts in behavior,

but find nothing wrong
with yours.

PRENTlSS:
May l?

The journey was not traditional,

but this team neutralized
four international criminals

and saved the life
of a young boy in the process.

You started a war
with lan Doyle, years ago,

that this team and
the US government had to finish.

The rest of you are dismissed.

Agent Prentiss, we're not done.

(phones ringing)

Hey.

I never thought we'd be taking
one of these down.

(exhales)

I already tried;
It's screwed in.

You're kidding me.
-I got this.

Perfect.

-I also have Sergio.
-Aw,

I knew you would.

I need visitation rights.

He's a love, isn't he?

Yeah, he takes after his mom.

Morgan.

I know what you've been through.

I understand that you're angry,
but I hope

that you understand that
this is not about you or me.

This was about saving Emily.

We need to talk.

STRAUSS:
The committee made it clear

they will not support
a rogue team.

Agent Prentiss

convinced them
you were not that.

They will be watching you
closely...

so I suggest you play
by their rules.

So, we're okay?

Suspension is lifted
for everyone.

Thank you, ma'am.

There may be more paperwork

considering your... situation,

but the team
is lucky to have you.

If you're interested.

May I think about it?

Of course.

I'm in.

STRAUSS: I have
a stack of cases on my desk.

I'm happy to pass them along.

I'll pick them up
in the morning.

Emily, um...

...what did you tell them?

The only people I know
who could accomplish

that mission just walked out.

They do their jobs
with integrity.

And most importantly,
they honor their oath.

"l will support
and defend the Constitution

"of the United States
of America

"against all enemies,

"foreign and domestic.

"l will bear true faith
and allegiance to the same.

"That I take
this obligation freely,

"without any mental reservation
or purpose of evasion.

"That I will well
and faithfully discharge

"the duties of the office
on which I am about to enter,

so help me God. "
