Criminal Minds (2005–…): Season 7, Episode 11 - True Genius - full transcript

# Feelin' all right?

# Mm-mm?

# Not feelin' too good myself?

# Oh, yeah?

# Feelin' all right...? #

I don't like it here.

It's scary.

Hey,

let's get out of here.

In a minute.

Seriously.



I'm getting creeped out.

Will you relax?

Oh, my God.

What's he doing?

Who is that?

Maybe it's the Park Service.

It was no one.

Or was it the iron claw killer?

It's not funny.

Let's get out of here.

? Not feelin' too good myself?

? Oh, yeah?

? Feelin' all right?

? Not feelin' too good myself?



- ? Too good myself?
- ? Oh, baby...?

That takes us back to 1968.

You're listening
to your classic rock station

in the Bay.

PATRICIA CORNWELL: In the end,
I just write about violent crime.

The real heroes
are the people here beside me.

Now, give a warm welcome
to our next speaker,

Dr. Spencer Reid of the BAU.

Thank you. Thanks.

Patricia Cornwell,
ladies and gentlemen.

Ms. Cornwell will be signing
books at the end of the session.

Sorry.

Um... hi.

I am here today to talk
to you about, uh, paraphilias

and their relation
to violent crime.

Does anybody know
what dendrophilia is?

Yes, a fetish for trees.

Thank you so much, uh,

for coming out, you guys,

and, uh,
as for your question earlier,

uh, the case that we were
following at the time

was the David Parker Ray case.

We actually believed

that the victim count in that
case was close to 60.

Unfortunately, we were only able
to unearth 45 bodies,

but SSA Bufalino, um,
has been diligent...

Dr. Reid?

Hey,

you were fantastic up there.

- Thank you.
- Yeah, I-I love the names

of those paraphilias.

I- I have a new list to memorize.

You like memorizing lists?

I'm weird that way.

It's not weird at all;
I do it all the time.

You know, we don't usually
get people your age here.

Y- You're in school, I assume?

Yeah, I'm a senior at Michigan.

You know what, you might like

the FBl's internship program.

Unfortunately, you are
already past the deadline,

but if you write me a letter,

I might be able to pull
some strings.

Uh,

thanks, but I don't think

my Board of Directors
would allow it.

I have a company.

Have you heard of NanoVex?

NanoVex as in the company
Landis Pharmaceuticals

is investing $100 million in,
NanoVex?

It's not a done deal yet,

uh, but hey,
you were awesome up there.

You've saved me
from a company party downstairs.

It was a total snooze fest.

Keep up the good work.

You, too.

Hey, who was that?

That was the founder of NanoVex.

I've never heard of it.

They make magnetically
responsive nanoparticles

for targeted drug delivery
to tumor cells.

I've still never heard of it.

You will;
it's gonna change the world.

Guess who's back?

The Marin Headlands last night.

David Atley and Nicole Puli,
both 24,

both grad students at Berkeley.

Shot multiple times
in their vehicle.

Wait for it.

- The Zodiac?
- No way.

Come on,

it's got to be the 2.0 version.

Yeah, you would think so,

except for the crazy
similarities in the M.O.

I'm talking same victimology,

same geography,

and two souvenirs were left
at the crime scene.

- He left a photo?
- Mm-hmm. Local police say

that it Marcia Miller;
she was found near Napa in 1971.

Strongly suspected that she was
a victim of the Zodiac,

but police never confirmed it,

and they didn't publicize
the case.

So, the Zodiac took this photo

after killing her and
then saved it all these years?

The Zodiac's
last confirmed victim

was the cabdriver Paul Stine.

He mailed pieces
of Stine's bloody shirt

along with his letters
to prove it was him.

This photo could prove
he's back.

Um, you just mentioned

a bloody shirt.

This is the second souvenir

that was left
at the crime scene.

Preliminary tests say

that the blood type
is O-negative.

Same blood type
as the cabdriver.

So, how old
would Zodiac be by now?

The murders took place
in the late '60s.

Yeah, uh, December 20, 1968,

to October 11, 1969,
to be exact,

but he was suspected
of other crimes,

and he sent letters and codes
to newspapers until 1974.

Well, at the very least,
the Zodiac

would have to be
about 60 by now.

Yeah, but it doesn't take a lot
of strength to pull a trigger.

No, but it takes a lot of skill
not to get caught for 40 years.

Have Reid and Prentiss meet us

- in San Francisco.
- Yes, sir.

"Three can keep a secret

if two are dead. "
Benjamin Franklin.

ROSSl:
Bottom line,

the Zodiac is
the most well-documented

unsolved serial killing case
in modern times.

There have been
two known copycats.

Correct.
Uh, the first one

was Heriberto Seda.

He killed three and wounded four
in New York City.

And then there was

a 14-year-old in Japan
name Seito Sakakibara.

He killed two other children

and left the sign
of the Zodiac behind.

ROSSl: The fact is, the Zodiac
was driven by a need

for notoriety and control.

He enjoyed the terror he spread
through the city.

Well, then he stopped.

After his last letter in '74,
he vanished.

Most likely wound up in a prison
or a mental hospital.

Maybe he was just released

and picked up where he left off?

I will search for anyone

recently freed or discharged
after 40 years.

But it's a long time
to be dormant

with no evolution in the M.O.

Agreed.

Even a serial killer
has to grow up.

- Check.
- Hmm.

Check.

Checkmate.

Hey, Caleb, what the hell?

Break time's over.

It's Harvey. Leave a message.

Agent Hotchner?

- Yes?
- I'm Agent Lin.

Nice to meet you;
this is Agent Jareau.

We're setting you up

in the city field office.

All the Zodiac data's been sent
over from local P.D.s.

Good, that avoids
jurisdiction issues.

According to the M.E.,

David Atley was shot twice
in the head.

Nicole Puli was shot 13 times
in the face, torso, and back.

Weapon was a nine millimeter.

Overkill on the female.

Zodiac did the same thing.

He also used a nine millimeter.

We're examining ballistics
for a match.

Take a look over here.

We ID'd these

as military Wing Walker boots.

Huh, let me guess,

size ten and a half.

Just like the prints found
at Lake Barryessa in '69.

What makes you think

this the real Zodiac, Agent?

The M.O. is uncannily similar.

If it's not him,

then it's an equally evil twin.

Or someone
who studied him meticulously.

Have any letters or ciphers
been received?

Agent Lin, this is, uh,
Dr. Reid, Agent Prentiss.

Oh, how was the conference?

Uh, enlightening.

Has the UnSub made any contact?

The Chronicle's Web site manager

received two phone calls
this morning.

There was just heavy breathing
on the other end,

like the phone calls
Zodiac used to make.

Can I get a physical copy

of the online version
of today's paper?

You want a printout
of the online version?

Yeah, with all the comments
printed out as well,

if possible, thanks.

Don't ask.

It's not the real Zodiac.

How can you be so sure?

I just know it.

Sometimes I can't really
explain it.

He hasn't had a visitor in ages.

He used to get so many
when he was with the Napa P.D.

Bob?

These people are from the FBl.

Hello, Detective.

We're Agents Rossi and Morgan.

He has Parkinson's.

This is one of the bad days.

Well, ma'am,
maybe you could help us out.

It won't take very long.

This is about the Zodiac,
isn't it?

I've been watching the news.

Did Bob ever talk
about his work?

That's all he talked about.

I tried to move

his old boxes out,
but he got so...

agitated I had
to bring them back.

Do you mind if we take a look?

Help yourself.

Excuse me, I...
have to get his medication.

Wow, she wasn't kidding

when she said he liked
to surround himself

with his work.

ROSSl: These are
all about Marcia Miller,

who died in '71...

and possibly killed by Zodiac.

Rossi, these are
crime scene photos.

Take a look at this.

Marcia Miller's photo
could've come from this batch.

You know, a guy
this obsessed with work

probably used his own camera.

Detective...

did you take these
pictures... yourself

at the crime scene? Now,

you can blink once for yes

and twice for no.

Did you take these?

Sir, is it possible

that someone could have
come in here and stolen one?

Do you know who?

Mrs. Zablonsky,

you said your husband
used to get a lot of visitors?

Oh, yes. They were all people
obsessed with the Zodiac.

Well, do you think you
can write down the names

- of all those that you remember?
- Oh.

The dates match.

When Zodiac stopped killing,

my cousin was put
in a mental hospital in Mexico.

He was released two months ago.

Do you have anything
more specific?

He was working on a production

of The Mikado in '68-
the Zodiac talked

- about The Mikado in a letter.
- Excuse me,

I'm Dr. Reid with
the Behavioral Analysis Unit.

Was your cousin by chance
a fan of Wagner?

Because a CD
of The Tragic Overture

- was sent to the police
this morning. -He loved Wagner,

especially The Tragic Overture.
It's him.

Yeah. Well, for the record,

a CD was not sent
to the police this morning,

and The Tragic Overture was
written by Brahms, not Wagner,

so luckily, I guess
it's not your cousin.

The FBl would
greatly appreciate it

if people would stop
making false claims

to get their 15 minutes of fame.
Thank you. Thank you very much.

Well, this
is quite a surprise development

we just witnessed outside
the San Francisco FBl building.

We'll have more for you later.

Reporting live for Action News.
Back to you in the studio.

The best news is that when
Harvey goes on his honeymoon,

the rest of us
will get two weeks

- of not looking so stupid
at work. -

Seriously, it's a real honor
to be your best man.

You and Marisa

are perfect for each other,
and I wish you

all the happiness in the world.

Congrats. Enjoy the party.

Hear, hear.

Excuse me.

I'd like to say something.

If I could direct
your attention to the screen.

So, that's me.

Caleb Rossmore.

If you think
I was funny-looking,

you should've seen Harvey.

I met Harvey at the finals

of the Class A regional
chess tournament.

I annihilated him.

But he still became
my best friend.

I finally found
someone else who was

a child prodigy and
a playground punching bag, too.

We became inseparable because
of our shared love of chess...

and some other weird stuff,
right, Harv?

We liked animal dissection
and Roman history...

and crime journalism...

- Thank you. Thank you, Caleb.
- Almost finished.

I didn't see Harvey
as much after high school,

but we always had
a special connection.

I thought I knew him so well,

but I was completely shocked
when I found out he was engaged

to Marisa.

Mainly because I
couldn't believe the hot chick

we both had a crush on

in junior high
actually said yes to him.

Anyway, buddy, I'll wrap it up.

Your soul mate
is standing before you now.

In the words of Plautus...

"Let us celebrate
with wine and sweet words. "

That was so sweet.

I almost cried.

Thanks, man.

Listen, uh,

I'm sorry I've been
such a deadbeat friend.

I owe you a call.

Yeah, I'm getting used
to radio silence.

I'm sorry.

I have something for you.

I know it's normally
the best man's job,

but I asked if I could do it.

Ticket to Vegas.

For your bachelor party weekend.

- I'm picking you up
tomorrow at 6:00. -Wow!

Thanks, man, but I...

I can't do a whole weekend.

I just have too much work.

I thought it was one night.

Harvey! You have to go.

Hey, you're only
getting married once.

Yes, ma'am.

Terrific!

ROSSl: The detective's wife
couldn't remember many names.

That's all right. We'll show her
photos when we have a suspect.

I talked
to Nicole Puli's mother.

Doesn't seem she was stalked.

Lab results are back
on the piece of fabric.

The DNA doesn't match
the original cabdriver.

And the cloth is fairly new.

It was distressed to look old.

Guess I was foolish to think
it was the real Zodiac.

No, he went to great pains
to make us think it was him.

And he was criminally
sophisticated enough

to pull it off.

Question is, why?

Reid, how's it going?

Computers slow me down,
so I prefer paper,

but I wasn't expecting
all these comments.

Where do people find the time?

I think I just found a cipher
from the UnSub.

The symbols buried in the spam
are the same ones

the Zodiac used in his
first message back in 1969.

What does it say?

"Killing is most fun
you can have

"98 minutes below the horizon

"in Magic City
with President Garfield.

Happy hunting. "

The oracle is in.
How may I assist?

Garcia, to what

specific location
does "Magic City" refer?

Birmingham, Alabama.

"98 minutes below the rising... "

Garcia, what time
is sunset there tonight?

6:22.

98 minutes later
would be 8:00 p. m.

What's dedicated to President
Garfield in San Francisco?

President Garfield...

There's a-a statue of him
in Golden Gate Park.

MAN No one
at the south entrance yet.

Copy that.

We've got a vehicle.

It's a lone driver.

Move in.

FBl. Show me your hands.

Drop it.

I'm just the messenger.

I'm supposed
to deliver a letter.

It's for Reid.

"You're not as smart
as you think you are. "

- Who sent it?
- I don't know.

I just deliver to the address
when I'm supposed to.

If the UnSub's not here,
where is he?

Please... take the money.

Take the money.

Please don't hurt him.
Just let us go.

Please, please don't hurt him!

Please! Please!

Tara Hanson was a teacher;
Alec Wyseck was a lawyer.

They had dinner
at a nearby restaurant

and were taking
an evening stroll.

The M.E. said
Alec's throat was slit

and he was stabbed twice
in the back.

Tara was stabbed 20 times
in the abdomen and torso.

- Overkill on the female again.
- She's a brunette,

- like Nicole Puli. -Yeah, they
both could've been surrogates.

He left this on the park bench.

It's Nicole's.

Her nickname was Kiki.

The courier service said the
envelope was left, with cash,

in their drop box.

The messenger himself

had a clean record.

He's a star employee.

ROSSl:
This was a targeted message

for an individual-
very different M.O.

It's a high vantage point.

The victims
chose it for the view,

the UnSub so he could see
if anyone was coming.

Hey, what's up?

Hey, Boo.
I checked the ISP of the user

who entered the spam comment
to an Internet cafe,

but he used a prepaid credit
card, so I don't have an I.D.

All right, thanks, Garcia.

He used the same code
that was broken years ago

in a riddle
we cracked in seconds.

He knew we'd solve it;
it was a decoy.

No, it's a taunt-
he wants to prove

that he's smarter than everyone.

And we fell for it.

If he's trying
to compete with me,

then it means he's
most likely within five years

of my age.
The question is, why?

The message might not
have been meant for you, Reid.

A letter was hand-delivered
to me last night.

The comment to the paper

was written at 9:03 a. m. -
we weren't even

in the city yet,
so how would the UnSub know

you'd be involved in the case?

You did give your name
to the press later that day.

And you said yourself
he knew we'd be in the park.

Well, if he's doing his best

to emulate the Zodiac, killing
in such quick succession

would be a mistake.

The shortest time span
for Zodiac was two weeks?

Well, maybe the UnSub
doesn't have a choice.

Maybe he's experiencing
a time pressure

that he has no control over.

We're ready to give the profile.

Unlike the real Zodiac,

whose goal was mass hysteria,

this copycat's message
is directed

at an individual woman
with whom he's obsessed.

The women that
he's killed so far

have been surrogates for her.

He was either rejected or
believes that he can't have her,

so he feels a rage
towards this woman

and any man that she's with.

His actions may be

an attempt to impress
the object of his obsession

or prove his love.

ROSSl: The UnSub
chose to copy the Zodiac

because he wants to feel
as brilliant,

famous and powerful
as his predecessor.

You should be looking
for a physically fit male

in his 20s to 30s.

He's highly intelligent,
but he holds

a menial or low-level job.

He has few friends
and fantasizes

of a world
in which he feels special.

And the frequency
of the kills suggests

that he may be
on the verge of losing

the object of his obsession.

I'm sorry I'm late.

Hey, how are you?

Ar-Are you okay?

I need to talk to you
about Harvey.

Look, if you need
to call off the wedding,

everyone will understand.

What are you talking about?

You were upset when you called.

You said it was about Harvey.

No, I had a fight
with my mom.

I wanted to talk to you
about my surprise for Harvey.

A surprise?

A man cave.

It'll be installed
over our honeymoon.

I've got a 60-inch flat screen,
a fridge for beer,

but I need a wow item,

like an air hockey table
or a mini-putting green.

Are you serious?

Yeah.
What do you think he'd like?

I'm leaning
toward the air hockey table...

Marisa, stop.

Please, just stop.

Do you even know Harvey?

He'd hate it.

Most guys would like it,
but he's weird.

Trust me.

I'm just being honest.

And now you hate me.

No, I don't.

I always say

all the wrong things,

especially around you.

I really just want you

to like me.

I've always wanted that.

I do like you.

Look, I got to run.

I have so much
wedding stuff to do.

Order more flowers,

I have another
dress fitting at 2:00,

pick up gifts...

Thank you.

I'll see you later.

Hey,

are you gonna tell me what's up?

Reid, it's me.

Do you ever wonder
if you lived up to expectations?

I- I beat them.

I figured I'd be
a bored socialite by 25.

I thought I'd cure schizophrenia
by the time I was 25.

You know, when I was a kid,

people told me
that I could do anything.

You're afraid
you've let people down?

No, I'm afraid
I let myself down.

By not curing schizophrenia?

No, just because...

I don't know why I'm in the FBl.

I see.

You're a genius,
but you have the same job

as me, Morgan, JJ.

Yeah, exactly... No.

That's not what I'm saying,

it's just sometimes...

sometimes I kind of get
this feeling like...

like maybe I should have done
something more with my life.

How old are you? 29?

I'm 30.

No way.

We missed your birthday?

W- Why didn't you tell us?

The fact of the matter is,

you're young.

There's still time.

By the time Nikola Tesla was 30,

he already invented
the induction motor.

You know what,
you might be right.

You don't that hear much

about child prodigies
once they grow up.

In fact, most of them
turn out average.

That's not true.

Are you trying
reverse psychology with me?

I'm just telling it like it is.

What are you doing?

Well, you just told me yourself
you're washed up.

I should take a look at this.

That's not what I'm saying.

It's...
Seriously, what are you doing?

- I'm just looking to see what
you missed. -Don't do...

You're gonna... You're gonna
actually mess it up, Emily.

Give it back to me.

Wait a minute, that's it.

The real code is in the words.

China Weekly Post,
page F-4.

The spam had to be converted
from matrix code

to binary code,
then switched to base eight

before being translated
back into letters.

- I can go into more detail
if you want. -Uh, no.

How smart would
a person have to be

- to write a code like that?
- Beyond smart.

Profoundly gifted,
an IQ of at least 160.

That changes the profile then.

The UnSub could still hold
a menial or low-level job.

Many believe that
beyond an IQ of 120,

success is determined
by other factors.

This is a bilingual paper.

The English version
should be somewhere.

Garcia, I need you
to compile a list

of people with IQs of 160
or above in the region.

Checking with the Bay Area
Mensa Society,

which is kind of slumming it

'cause folks can get in

- with a measly IQ of 130.
- Also check old school records.

We're looking for someone
who's in his 20s or 30s.

Yeah, hit you back
when I got something.

All right.

All right, this is it.

"You could do so much better. "

I'll talk to the manager,

see if they know
who placed the ad.

Who is this message for?

The writer is a genius,
but the recipient

would have to be, too,
in order to decode it.

Yeah, Dave?

All right.

A cabdriver's
just been murdered.

Broad daylight and no witnesses.

The engine was still running.

What, was he dropping
the UnSub off?

In '69, Zodiac killed
the cabdriver

from the back seat,

but this driver was shot
from outside.

Well, look at this.

It's another souvenir.

Well, it's digital quality.

Can't be that old.

There's a void

in the blood spatter pattern.

It's a blow back shadow.

Somebody else was there.

All ads have
to be placed in person

at the China Weekly Post.

This ad was placed a week ago

by a white male
in his 20s to early 30s.

A week ago?
This was highly premeditated.

ROSSl: The UnSub
kidnapped someone from the back

of the cab; that could be
who the messages were for.

Check with the cab dispatcher.

Find out where the driver's
last fare was picked up.

Morgan, see if there are
any missing persons

- in that neighborhood.
- JJ and I can look

for ATM and other

surveillance cameras
near the newspaper.

What do you have, Garcia?

Precious information.

The little boy in the photo,
his name is Robbie Shaw.

He disappeared
from Mill Valley in 2000,

and no suspects
were ever identified.

Ready for a wild time?

I can't believe
you're taking me to Vegas.

I'm unavoidable for 48 hours.

I told you I was sorry.

I'm kidding.

Hey, you're a big shot now.

You could be, too, you know.

I'm not like you.

Marisa thinks you're great.

But clearly, she prefers you.

Where are you going?

The airport's the other way.

Change of plans.

Got it.

The cabdriver's last fare
was in the Marina district,

the 500 block of Chestnut.

Lots of bars, restaurants,
shops there.

Garcia says nobody's been
reported missing in the area.

The passengers in the Marina,
they'd be young, educated,

well-to-do.

- What's he doing?
We've been thinking

about this case too linearly.

Based on the complexity
of the code, it's obvious

this UnSub is operating
on several different levels.

So, we need to start thinking
in multiple dimensions.

Where are we?

This is our old Zodiac book.

He's back.

He murdered
two Berkeley students

over there the other night.

I know.

Did you look for ciphers?

You still read the Chronicle,
don't you?

No, Marisa prefers
the Examiner.

What are we doing here?

Remember...

how we thought
we could catch the Zodiac?

We were obsessed with the idea.

We were 12.

Exactly.

We were kids,

but we can catch him now.

You know the police
won't find him.

Come on, Caleb.

Give it a try.

For old times' sake.

So, you're the Zodiac.

Maybe you stalked this couple.

Or you waited at the bottom
of the hill

for the right victims
to come by.

Can we make this quick?

Well, that's up to you.

I'd be wearing a regular jacket,

covering up my Zodiac hoodie.

No one who saw you
would think twice.

I'd sneak up on them
through the trees,

drop the jacket,

and pull out my gun.

Hey, we went through

all the surveillance footage
near the newspaper.

There was nothing.

Spence, you okay?

Nothing is accidental.

Nothing this UnSub does
is accidental.

The message
in the China Weekly Post

was on page F-4.
Why F-4?

Well, that's where
the classifieds were.

It's more than that.

I stab him.

Then I go to her.

And you turn her over

because you want her to see you.

No.

Please.

I get off on her terror.

I want to see her face

as I destroy her.

Admit it.

You're having fun.

I'm being a good sport.

What do you think

Marisa would think of this?

She'd find it strange,

but so would anyone.

You think you two are really
right for each other?

I parked there under the trees
so I could leave quickly.

Can you rotate that?

See, F-4

is a chess square.

He murdered people

- according to a chess game?
- Specifically, game six

of Fischer versus Spassky
in 1972,

one of the greatest
chess matches ever played.

The murder locations correspond

with the final three moves
of the game.

Garcia's lair
of knowledge and wisdom.

Garcia, do you have the list
of Zodiac case experts?

Yes, standing by for you,

I have everyone
who has ever written

or blogged about it.

FYl, there are way too many
people obsessed with this sicko.

All right, cross-reference that
with professional chess players.

Oh, that totally helps.
Yeah, okay.

List is getting smaller...

and smaller...
down to nothing.

All right, open it up
to high-level amateurs as well.

Okay.

I'm feeling dissatisfied now.

I need something more
than another couple to kill.

The opening moves are done.

- It's time for the middle game.
- Exactly.

I'm hungry for a capture.

The cabdriver
is just a sacrifice.

- To throw off the opponent.
- And I kill him,

because what I really want...

...is his passenger.

Brilliant.

So where is the passenger?

I have a car,

so I can go anywhere.

Unbelievable.

Crack team of investigators
missed something.

Did I drop this?

Of course not;
I planted it.

Because that's the game I play.

Go ahead, Garcia.

Get ready to love me more.

I did a search of chess players
rated 2,200 or higher,

which would make them masters

but not necessarily
professionals.

I cross-referenced that search
with Zodiac experts

and came up with two
former chess prodigies

and best friends who used
to write about the Zodiac

in their
junior high school newspaper,

and I get bonus points because
they both have IQs over 160.

Where are they?

In San Francisco.
Caleb Rossmore

is a city parks employee.

Harvey Morell is an engineer
at a Chinese computer firm.

He's about to get married.

And yes, I just e-mailed you
all this information

right now.

The fianc?e, Marisa Devon,

looks like
the two female victims.

They were surrogates for her.

Caleb could be jealous
of his friend.

Or what if he's afraid
of losing Harvey?

If he was a child prodigy,

he may no longer
feel special as an adult.

He could be trying
to hold on to him.

Harvey's engagement
could have been a trigger.

Reid, I know Spassky conceded
the match, but what would

the next move have been?

Spassky would've
been checkmated,

or he would have lost his queen.

Lock's broken.

So...

where would you
hide the passenger?

Over here.

Spassky's queen
was in square E-8,

so that would
land us in Richmond.

Garcia, is there
a connection between

that location and the two men?

Checking now. Uh...

Bingo. Harvey's dad worked there
as a chemistry teacher

in the '60s. And...

oh, uh, Caleb
lived there in 2008.

He worked at the Powerlinks Gym

on 2nd and Hill,

and the Dragon Temple Restaurant
at 636 Mason.

All right, JJ,
you go to the gym;

- we'll check out the restaurant.
- Copy that.

Zablonsky's wife recognized
the photos of Caleb and Harvey.

They interviewed the detective

for an article they
were writing about the Zodiac

- when they were kids.
- Oh, they wrote

a "Crime Beat" column
in the newspaper.

One of them stole the photo

left at the first crime scene.

It had to be Caleb.
The message

"You can do so much better"
in the Chinese paper

was meant for Harvey.

That means
the original spam message

- was for him, too.
- Well, how did Caleb

- know that Harvey wouldn't
turn him in? -Caleb has

something on him, or he's
holding the fianc?e hostage.

Shut the front door.

They were interviewed by police

in 2000 about a crime
in their hometown.

You did this. Why?

- Are you hurt?
No.

- We don't need her.
- Are you insane? I love her!

- You love her?!

Do you even know her?!

'Cause she doesn't know you.

She's an inferior being,

- Harvey.
- She's a good person.

She is an imbecile!

How you ended up with her
has confounded me from day one.

She'll never understand you
like I do.

You've lost your mind.

Why did things have to change?

Grow up, Caleb!
We couldn't keep doing

the same things forever.

Why not?

I know you had fun tonight.

Almost as much fun as
what we did when we were 15.

He didn't tell you, did he?

That's Caleb's car.

They're in the back.

If it's a hostage situation,

Caleb's not gonna be
easily talked down.

Shut up, Caleb.

We... murdered...

little Robbie Shaw.

- How old was he, Harvey? Seven?
- He's lying.

It was such a thrill!

- Remember?
- Harv...

Don't listen to him.

Forget about her.

I did all this to save you...
from a life of misery,

of pretending to be
someone you're not.

You murdered all those people
to save me?!

Stop being so sanctimonious!

It doesn't suit you!

Now...

do you want to kill her,
or should I?

You know that's how
the game has to end.

- This isn't a game.
- If we get rid

of her now,
we'll be long gone

before she's found.

The police won't catch us,

because the murders
were perfect.

Just like Robbie Shaw's.

Not really.
If they were perfect,

I probably wouldn't
be here right now.

I had nothing to do with this.

You really went

out of your way
to impress Harvey, Caleb.

The murders...

the chess game,
all designed to entice him.

Yes. He is pathological!

I don't know if Harvey's
the best friend in the world

to be selling you out
like that. I mean,

after you killed Robbie Shaw
together, you probably thought

that you guys had
an unbreakable bond.

He murdered Robbie by himself.

When we took him into the woods

and strangled him...

...I've never seen you
so exhilarated.

The look on your face.

You can't deny that, Harvey.

But afterwards,
something changed.

You two grew apart.

I wasn't there.

You pulled away from me.

Do you know...
how much that hurt?

I would have done anything
for you, Harvey.

I looked up to you.

You know what I think, Harvey?

I think killing Robbie Shaw
was your idea.

No.

You chose him...

because his brother
used to pick on you in school.

You're successful,

you're charismatic,

you're dominant,
which means that

you most likely made the plans

and Caleb followed.
Let me ask you this- where...

did you hide the body?

Listen to me...

If I was gonna kill
somebody and hide a body,

I think I would
probably use sulphuric acid.

Especially if my father was a
chemistry teacher, right, Caleb?

Caleb...

don't listen to him.

He is trying to trick us.

- Do you trust him, Caleb?
- Caleb!

Hey, Caleb!

Whatever happens,

- we'll protect each other.
Oh, I'm...

I'm sure that he'll protect you
if he's around.

I mean, he is moving to Shanghai
in a couple of months.

He put the transfer in
about a year ago.

Wait, did y...

did your good friend Harvey

not tell you about that?

I'm sure that he'll send you
a postcard.

I was going to tell you.

Robbie's bones are buried
in his backyard.

Let's go.

"There is no greater sorrow

than to recall in misery
the time when we were happy. "

Dante.

Hey, Reid, um,
Hotch wants to talk to you.

What's wrong?

Probably wants to talk to me

about why I've been
kind of weird lately.

You are making
a difference, you know.

One person at a time.

Thank you. You know,
I've been thinking a lot lately

about why I stayed after
Gideon left, why I didn't

take any of those other offers.

Nothing is accidental.

And I realized, I don't know,
there's just something...

incredibly right
about being here.

With you guys.

Well, I'm glad you shared that.

Otherwise, this would
have been really awkward.

What would've been
really awkward?

Surprise! Happy birthday!

Happy birthday!

- Happy birthday.
- Thank you.

? With everything?

? Being as it is now?

- Happy birthday, old man.
- Oh!

? We should be together?

Happy birthday.
Almost 40 now.

? There's no one else?

? To say hello
the way you knew how?

? To make it all seem?

? Better...?
