Criminal Minds (2005–…): Season 7, Episode 14 - Closing Time - full transcript

To the class of 2012.

May the world end after we've
had our fun in college.

Not before.

Yeah!

Whoo!

I can't believe,
this time next year,

you're going to be so far away.

Well, I'm here now.

That's what matters.

I know, but...

you're going to meet
some hot sorority slut and...



And you're going to meet
some hot frat guy.

In the chemistry department?

Yeah, right.

Just remember, you're going
to be a hot sorority slut, too.

I am not a slut.

Don't I know it?

Ow!

Come on.

Where are you going?

To test your theory.

Wait.

You're always going
to be my guy,

right, Johnny?

As long as you're always
going to be my girl.



What is that?

It's coming
from inside the tower.

- Wait here.
- Johnny!

John.

Stay back.

Is that all you've got?
'Cause I don't think

- it's going to be enough.
- This one is so mine.

No. Hotch, no,
I'm taking this one.

- Yeah, that's too bad
'cause I'm... -Don't do it.

- Yeah, I'm going
to have to... -It's mine.

- No. -'Cause I don't think
it's going to be enough.

- No! No.
- Oh, no. Oh, no.

You were playing with me.

- That's not fair.
- I am.

Ow!

- Oh... oh, God.
- You all right?

- Cramp? Are you sure...?
- Yeah. Yeah, I think...

I'm going to beat you.
Yeah. Whoo-hoo!

That's...
that's really pathetic.

- Whoo! I win.
- Really?

You know, you don't win
if you cheat.

Come on. You just got
to learn to keep up.

What happened to
"slow and steady wins the race"?

Who taught you that?

My training partner.

She sounds brilliant.

Oh, she is.

She's very smart.

Training's easier
with a partner.

I've been meaning to remind you
to thank me for that.

Our lunches are okay, too.

Yes, they are.

So, I was reading
that you shouldn't train

the week before the race,
so this might be it.

What are we going to do
about that?

Well, I-I think
we should do something.

Aaron Hotchner,
are you asking me out on a date?

I'm trying.

It's not going very well.

Accepted
and eagerly anticipated.

When shall I expect my chariot?

Friday?

Yeah.

Morning.

What?

You work out this morning?

I did.

And how was the, uh...

workout?

It's called training,
and it was fine.

Right.

Training.

For what, though?

Just stop.

You know,
race day's almost here.

You'll need a new excuse
to see her.

It's been handled.

Attaboy.

When?

Friday.

Come hell or high water, Aaron,

I will get us back by Friday.

So, last night,
three unidentified males

were found in a lifeguard tower
in Los Angeles' South Bay.

Ages are estimated

between mid-20s and early 40s.

Each died from a single
gunshot wound to the head.

Yeah, and two of the bodies
were wrapped in plastic.

That could be practical.

Keep the blood from spreading.

Or it's symbolic.

Covering the bodies
could be his way

of showing remorse
for the kills.

Yeah, why not
wrap the third body?

Maybe the UnSub left him exposed

specifically because
of who he represents.

Identifying the bodies
should be our top priority.

Yes, which is why I'm

currently running prints
and facial recognition.

Hopefully it'll be done
by the time you guys land.

The lifeguard tower was not due
to open for another month,

and that's probably not
a coincidence.

Penelope, we should look

at recently released inmates
in the area,

make sure he didn't learn

his clean-up skills
on the inside.

Yeah, guys,
there's something else.

According to the M.E. report,

each of the victims
is missing their genitals.

He could be trying to hide
evidence of sexual assault.

Maybe.

Jeffrey Dahmer used to keep

his victims' sex organs
on display.

What if this UnSub
is doing the same thing?

"For trust not him
that hath once broken faith. "

William Shakespeare.

He's castrating
the victims postmortem,

so torture isn't his game.

Shot to the head
is efficient.

I don't think he wants
his victims to suffer.

And a quick kill is impersonal.

It lacks the thrill on which
a lot of UnSubs thrive.

Yet the castration
is very personal.

He probably knew his victims.

Or he could be impotent.

The UnSub feels emasculated,

so he wants his victims
to feel the same way.

You know, the Scorecard Killer,
Randy Kraft,

mutilated his victims
in a similar

yet more severe fashion.

That was to hide the fact

that he targeted hitchhikers
and gay men.

Kraft also raped his victims

before dumping them
on the side of the road.

Ding-dong. I have ID'd
all the dead people.

The information is there
at your tablets.

It turns out,
each of those three men

was in town on business.
None of them lived there.

So he crosses age, race,
and socioeconomic backgrounds.

No physical similarities either.

It says here that one
of the victims, Sean Taylor,

was in a domestic
partnership. He's gay.

Uh, but Hank Mitchell
has a female spouse.

That doesn't necessarily
preclude homosexual desire.

Which victim was left exposed?

Sean Taylor.

So, like Kraft,
he could be targeting victims

based on sexual orientation.

Hey, guys, I'll be right back.

Hunter, we need you.

What are you doing here?

- I had to see you.
- I'm at school.

- You can't just be here.
- I know.

It's crazy. I...

I had a really rough night
last night, a-and

I thought if I could see you,

then maybe today
would be a little better.

You could have called first.

If someone sees you,
I could get in trouble.

Okay, okay.

I'll go.

When can I see you next?

I have a game tomorrow night.

Pick me up after, I'll come over
to your place.

- Can't spend the night, though.
- Fine. Whatever.

It's all good.

- Cool?
- Cool.

Let's go.

- Come on up, bro.
- Okay, okay.

Quinn Parker. S.A.C.

Agent Hotchner,
and this is Agent Prentiss.

- Where would you like for us
to set up? -This way.

Another body was discovered

this morning
hidden in a lifeguard tower

in Manhattan Beach.

He changed the dump site.

He knows
the other one's been discovered.

We've been sweeping
all the towers

since the first discovery.

This body was dumped
sometime between

4:00 and 6:00 a. m.

Increase the patrols
to every hour,

but vary the search.

It's likely he's following
the investigation,

and he's adapting.

This body was left exposed
like Sean Taylor's.

Joseph Kraus, 42.

San Fernando Valley native,
works downtown.

Not sure what he was doing

- in the South Bay.
- Have the families arrived?

Yeah. Kraus' wife just got here.

The others are flying in.

I'll speak to Mrs. Kraus,

and I'll reroute Morgan and
Rossi to the new dump site.

I'll talk to the families.

Mrs. Kraus, I'm Agent Hotchner.

Oh.

I'm very sorry for your loss.

It's just so hard
to believe he's gone.

Had Joseph given any indication
as to where he was going

- when he disappeared?
- Oh. Joe.

Please. Only his mother
called him Joseph.

Uh...

No, he just said
he needed some fresh air.

I didn't question it.

He was found in Manhattan Beach.

Does that mean anything to you?

We went to LMU for college,
and, uh, freshman year,

his dad died.

And he... he used to go

to the beach at night
to collect his thoughts.

Was there anything in particular
that prompted his departure?

Uh, yeah. He lost his job.

And was worried about finances?

We both were.

There's no lights
anywhere, Rossi.

He could easily dump a body
without being seen.

The UnSub dragged him
up the ramp.

He wasn't in plastic
when he was brought here.

So that's two bodies wrapped
and two bodies left exposed.

Why is the UnSub
differentiating?

The rest of the M.O.
is the same:

G.S.W. to the head.
Severed genitals.

But why did he leave
this guy unwrapped,

like Taylor?

Hey, baby girl, tell me
you got something good.

GARCIA
Hey, the M.E. report came back,

and none of the victims
were sexually assaulted,

aside from that unfortunate
appendage removal thing.

ROSSl
Any luck on the paper trails?

Uh, Sean Taylor used
his credit card

at a gym
near the convention center.

JJ and Reid are
on their way there now.

See if you can hack
their cell phones, too.

Maybe they were meeting up
with someone

the night they disappeared.

Yes, I know you like me
one step ahead.

So, there were no calls
near time of disappearance

and the rest is gonna take
a little longer to crack.

- Thank you, crazy.
Anytime.

Fantasy Fatale bids you
good day.

Rossi, he discarded Joseph

like he was trash,

but there's no indication
in the victimology

to suggest that he should
be viewed that way.

Maybe the UnSub hits
on his victims,

and this is what happens
when someone rejects him.

Well, if that's the case, then,
why target straight men at all?

Maybe rejection is
his hot button.

Did you get anything?

Joe Kraus lost his job
the day he went missing.

That fits. I've got one victim

that just defaulted
on a mortgage,

another victim who served

divorce papers the day
before flying to Los Angeles.

They've each suffered a loss.

The UnSub probably has, too.

All right,
so what am I looking for?

A sexually ambiguous male

of indiscriminate ethnicity

who may or may not have lost
a job, wife, or loved one?

No, there's only one gay victim,

so you are most likely looking
for a heterosexual male

who somehow learned
all of those things

about his victims
in a very short time.

Someone who knows the South Bay
and targets men

unfamiliar with the area
who won't be quickly missed.

This means he's sociable,

but he doesn't stick out.

And these are probably
not his first kills.

If this concept of shared loss

is what's connecting the UnSub
and the victims,

how and where is it happening?

? West Coast boys
are gonna get down tonight?

? Can you feel it
in your heartbeat?

? East Coast girls
are gonna get down tonight...?

That's good. You got
to keep your heart rate up.

Hi.

How can I help you today?

I'm Agent Jareau with the FBl.

Ma'am.

I called about taking a look

at your surveillance footage
from last week.

Right. This way.

Is it common for traveling
business professionals

- to use your facility?
- It's our specialty, actually.

We get a lot of out-of-towners

because of
the convention center.

Business really picked up when
we added the pay-by-day rate.

Uh, wouldn't hotels
have gyms of their own?

Some do. We have contracts
with the ones that don't.

Okay, uh, 7:00 p. m.

last Thursday, like you asked.

That's him. That's Sean Taylor.

- Can you show me
where he goes next? -Yeah.

Hotch just
informed me that each

of the victims suffered a loss
prior to disappearance.

What was Taylor's loss?

Stock market troubles resulted
in him losing his summer home.

Hey, Spence, look at this.

He's moving faster
than he's capable of.

We see this all the time.

People frustrated
with work coming in

just to blow off steam.

He's punishing himself
in a self-destructive manner.

This isn't someone
who suffered a loss.

This is someone
who's angry at the world.

He was here nearly three hours.

This is him just before he left.

This can't be
about just losing a summer home.

Uh, we're gonna need
a copy of this.

- Okay.
- Thank you.

Hey, Garcia, I'm gonna put you
on speakerphone, okay?

Hey yourself, 187.

I have a new mystery
for you to solve.

Your guy, Sean Taylor,

he rented

a blue Charger
while he was in town.

- Where's the car now?
- That is the mystery.

Local PD can't find it,

and the rental service activated
the LoJack system.

It's been deactivated.

How skilled
would our UnSub need to be

in order to deactivate the GPS?

A novice would not
be good at that,

but the mechanical elite-

they could do it
without a hitch.

Did any of the other victims
have cars in the city?

Uh, just one-

Joseph Kraus.

Hey, his car's missing, too.

All right, Garcia,

start pulling autoworkers
in the area

and cross it with prior
offenses, no matter how small.

This UnSub's going to great
lengths to cover his tracks,

so he's got to be
in the system somewhere.

Copy that. Here I go.

How is he hiding their cars?

Doug.

Working kind of late,
aren't you?

Security company called

to see if your code
was still good.

What are you doing here, Mike?

I don't know.

I thought maybe we could talk.

So pick up the phone.

Wasn't sure you'd answer.

Y- You're the one
that doesn't return calls.

Listen, I miss
my best friend, man.

Friends?

F- Friends? Yeah.

At, uh, at this point,
I- I doubt we ever were.

I'm sorry
about what happened, okay?

I- I never meant...

Never meant to what?

To ruin my life?

No, man, I just want to fix it.

Fix it?

What are you gonna do?
Put a Band-Aid on it?

No, there's some things
that just can't be fixed.

This was a mistake.

I got to go.

Listen, I'm really sorry, Mike.

I mean,

isn't there anything I can do?

Anything to make it up to you?

Sure.

You can kill yourself.

The murders started
nearly two months ago,

but the time in between kills

has accelerated
over the past week.

Why?

Well, if the UnSub
suffered a loss,

we could be looking for someone
who was fired back then

and struggling
to pay his bills now.

Or divorc?es currently
undergoing custody hearings.

He's most likely operating

out of one
of the coastal cities.

The victims were all staying
in the metropolitan area,

but their bodies were found
near the ocean.

Do you know how big
the California coastline is?

840 miles.

Fortunately, based
on the UnSub's comfort zone,

we can narrow in on the area
between Santa Monica

and Redondo Beach.

The paper trail shows each
of the victims

in the downtown area

until about 9:00 p. m.
the night they disappear,

and after that,
they go off grid.

So how are the victims
ending up in the South Bay?

Well, we haven't found
any of the missing cars.

We know he's probably
nonthreatening.

What if he asks for a lift
and then kills them en route?

But how does he know
that his victims fit

his emotional criteria?

There's no common denominator

outside the loss
that each has suffered.

Sean Taylor did look
pretty distraught

before storming out of the gym.

And Elaine Kraus
said that her husband

would often go to the beach
to clear his head.

What if they're all doing that?

Maybe he's not taking them
to the beach.

Maybe he's hunting them there.

I mean, it gets to the point

where-where you can't even
look at yourself in the mirror.

You think it's your fault.

Sometimes you have to move on,

but sometimes you can't move on.

A- And that's no way to live.

Of course there's always
the easy way out.

But who wants to take that

when you have responsibilities?

What I'm trying to say, Gus...

is, I understand.

I do.

And you no longer have
to suffer.

Please let me go.

I won't ignore your pain.

I'm not in pain, I-I promise.
I feel better now.

Gussy, do you know
how many times

I said that exact same thing?

It's the truth.

No. This is the truth.

Someone help me, please!

No one can hear you.

The vic's name was
Gus Harrington.

Found him underneath the pier
in Santa Monica.

He changed his method
of disposal to avoid detection,

but staying near the beach
because he's compelled to.

- It means something to him.
- The credit card history

indicated Harrington
was staying here.

Looks like he was drowning
his sorrows.

He emptied the minibar first.

ROSSl:
A man in this condition

couldn't have driven
to the beach.

Yeah, his car's still
in hotel parking.

So, he was intoxicated
when he got dressed.

A drunk target
would be easier to subdue.

So, where would he go next?

He ran out of booze.

He probably went to find more.

We believe you are looking

for a white male
in his 30s or 40s

who's targeting
emotionally distraught men.

Cell phone records show none
of the victims

made calls or had appointments

the evenings
they went missing.

This UnSub selects his target,
befriends him,

and then kills him
all in one night.

This means that he's ordinary,
unimposing, easy to talk to.

Because he can get
his victims to open up

and reveal personal information,
we believe he is able

to somehow project a sense
of familiarity towards them.

That familiarity most likely

comes in the form
of a shared loss.

He's targeting
down-and-out businessmen

struggling
in their everyday life.

ROSSl: He preys upon
their vulnerability,

then kills his victims
with single shots to the head.

He believes
that he's being merciful,

putting them
out of their misery.

Because he feels compelled

to remove his victims' genitals,

we believe he feels emasculated
by his own loss.

Most of the victims are from out
of town or new to the area,

so we should look
at anyone trusted

to offer advice
to visiting professionals.

The UnSub most likely has

a working knowledge
of auto mechanics,

or at the very least
the resources

to disable a car's GPS system.

What are you doing here?

I need a reason now?

I pay for this house.

Why were you
at Hunter's school yesterday?

He told you?

Of course he told me.

I just wanted to see him.

You know what the court said.

"Supervised visitation. "

I'm his father.

Well, stalking isn't parenting.

Hunter's scared.

He doesn't think he knows
his father anymore.

Mike.

Gee, I wonder why.

We believe that
our UnSub's comfort zone

is in the South Bay district.

So we should start
our search there,

but having said that,
it's important not to display

too heavily
of a police presence.

- Why is that? -PRENTISS:
He's gone to great lengths

to protect his identity.

That's because he has
something to lose.

If he feels
that we're closing in on him,

it's likely he'll move
to another location

and start killing there.

Thank you.

Go ahead, Garcia.

The M.E. ran liver tests.

All of the victims
had elevated levels

of alcohol in their systems.

We should narrow our search
to liquor stores and bars.

The UnSub could be hunting
his victims there.

But wait. There's more.

In my obsessive cross-checking,

I unearthed something, and
by something, I mean nothing.

Explain.

The trail runs frosty,
my friends.

None of the victims
purchased alcohol

on the night they went missing.

I'm clever.
I even checked ATM transactions

to see if they used cash. Zilch.

Zero dinero spent on the sauce.

So how are they drinking?

Good work, Garcia.

The UnSub couldn't have known
his victims

more than a-a few hours.

Is he just convincing
total strangers

to let him buy their drinks?

In my experience, people don't
question an open bar.

They just give thanks
and order another round.

You know, he could be finding
his targets on the streets

and then inviting them to
his house for a private party.

But how is he able to figure out
that they match his victimology?

In order for him to do that,
he'd have to spend

time with them, listen...
to their troubles.

What are you thinking?

Who can you pour
your problems to over drinks,

even though
you've never met them before?

The same person
who can make sure

you don't run a tab
or a paper trail.

Kitchen's gonna be
closing up pretty soon.

You want to put an order in
before the cook goes home?

No. Peanuts are fine, thanks.

Could use another one.

Rough day?

Yeah.

Rough life.

Want to talk about it?

There are hundreds of
bars and clubs in the South Bay,

not including ones
in hotels and restaurants.

I mean, how are we supposed
to narrow it down?

That doesn't take
into account, a lot

of bartenders work
multiple venues,

private parties, events.

We're looking
for a needle in a haystack.

If the UnSub's
a bartender, he probably hears

sob stories all the time.

The trigger's got

to be something
more specific than that.

It can't just be
about loss, like you said?

These losses aren't sufficient

enough to warrant
mercy killings,

especially not by someone
who's heard it all before.

Guys, what if the losses aren't
what's triggering the UnSub?

What if it's the catalyst
to the losses?

A behavioral trait

each of the victims had

that made them vulnerable
to loss.

Or an event so overwhelming,
it's consuming everything

- in their life.
Loss of job,

home, family.

What event could cause
each of those?

What if it's the emotional toll
of a failed relationship?

He's targeting victims
with broken hearts.

Once the trust is broken,

you never get it back.

Not ever.

I hear you, buddy.

My best friend just moved in
with my wife.

- No.
- Yep.

Oh, women.

Yeah. Can I get you
another one?

As soon as I get back.

What's, uh, troubling you, hon?

Hope that, uh,

women comment didn't offend you.

Not at all.

My relationship just ended, too.

Wow. Really?

Must be something in the air.

He was the best thing
that ever happened to me.

Yeah, well...

You know, February messes
with people's heads.

Here.

A little more.

Problem is, it's all my fault.

Ah, I'm sure that's not true.

I was stupid.
I was drunk.

You know what people say?

They say, "As long
as you didn't cheat,

everything is forgivable. "

Nobody's perfect.

Right?

Barkeep?

How's that new round coming?

You know, buddy,
I think you've had enough.

How about I, uh, call you a cab?

Here you go, sweetheart.

That's on the house.

Killed a woman this time.

Forensics match the blade?

Body's been hacked to pieces.

Dumped her in the trash.

Maybe this is the woman
that broke the UnSub's heart.

Name's Kelsey Ashwood.

She drove down
from Santa Barbara last night.

Husband's on his way
to the field office.

The UnSub didn't shoot her

in the head like the others.

Started cutting her up
while she was still alive.

He didn't castrate her either.

This is anger on a whole nother
level. He took his time

- with her. -ROSSl: If she wasn't
the target of his rage,

she definitely represents
who is.

Well, he's escalating.

Won't be long before he actually
goes after the person

that he blames for his loss.

Mike?

What the hell? I mean,
you don't work here anymore.

You remember that, right?

Had some business
I needed to deal with.

Look, you-you can't
be coming around like this.

Andrea told me you showed up
at Hunter's school.

- That's none of your business.
- Well, it is

my business
because this is my business.

Hey, what are you doing here?

Whose car is that?

It's a friend of mine.
Didn't think you'd mind.

What the hell?

What, did you steal a car?

Is that why
you've been coming around here?

I don't steal things, Doug.

You do.

I didn't steal anything.

Okay. You gonna be
giving 'em back, then?

Hey, look, I know the divorce
has been hard on you,

but you need to get past it.

For everyone's sake. I mean,
just do the right thing.

Do the right thing.

- Just...
- Do the right thing?!

Coming from the guy
who broke up my marriage,

took away my kid?!

Do the right thing.

Oh, my... Oh.

Mike, man, oh,
I- I think you broke my back.

Mike. M...

Mike.

Come on, Mike,
what are you doing?

Turn-turn off the machine.

Mike.

Come on, for God's sake,

turn-turn it...
turn the damn thing off!

Mike.

Mike?

Mike.

Mike, I... I'm sorry, Mike.

Okay? I didn't know.

I didn't know.
I found out

about Hunter
the same time you did, Mike.

Mike, please.
Mike, help me, Mike!

Mike! Mike!
Help me, Mike! Mike!

Mike, help...

Take your time.

Why would someone
do this to her?

That's what we're trying
to find out.

I just want to hold her
in my arms one more time.

The last thing we did was fight.

What was the fight about?

Look, it's important
that you be honest.

It could help us find the man
that did this to her.

She slept with someone else.

Said it was just
a one-time thing, but I-I...

I just couldn't get past it.

Not many people can.

I loved her so much.

But I couldn't fix us.

We were right.
All of the UnSub's victims

recently suffered the end
of a romantic relationship,

but they actually have
something else in common.

Each of the relationships ended
due to infidelity?

- How'd you know that? -Kelsey
Ashwood cheated on her husband.

All five of the male victims
were businessmen devastated

by the destruction
of their relationships.

They probably
started acting out,

which led to the losses
we profiled earlier.

But get this.

Sean Taylor
and Joe Kraus were the ones

that cheated
in their relationships.

They were the ones
who were left exposed.

So he's showing sympathy
to the men that were cheated on,

yet anger toward the cheaters.

This is Dr. Reid.

All right, thanks.

Kelsey's car was found
at a junkyard near Torrance.

Somebody was in the compactor
when it was crushed.

Victim is Doug Summers,
owner of the wrecking yard.

The car was on top of him
when it was crushed.

Maybe he stumbled
on the UnSub in action.

This wasn't planned out
like the others.

This was impulsive.

His entire M.O. has changed.

He wanted Doug to suffer.

Garcia, I need you

to run background details
on Doug Summers.

He runs the LB Wrecking Yard
in Torrance.

Checking...

Uh, it seems clean as a whistle.

Hold on. His name's listed
in a legal docket.

Uh, Mr. Summers is currently
testifying in a custody battle

between Michael Janeczko
and Andrea Wright.

Janeczko used to work at

the wrecking yard, and...
Wright is

Mr. Summers' new fianc?e.

She filed for divorce
two months ago.

That's right
when the killing started.

Where is Janeczko?

Last known address...

was the house he shared
with his former wife.

I don't understand. What does
the FBl want with Michael?

We need to find him
as soon as possible.

Do you know
where he's been staying?

He runs a bar on Second.

The owner's back east, so
he's been sleeping in the loft

above it.

Please. What did he do?

He is a suspect
in a murder investigation.

Mike? That's ridiculous.

We think he's been going

through an emotional break.

He's been through a lot.

I'm afraid there's more.

Ma'am, Doug Summers was killed
earlier this morning.

What?

What did you say?

I'm so sorry.

No.

No.

Not after
all we've been through.

What have you been through?

You've documented
Hunter's life with Michael

and Hunter's life
with Doug equally.

Why?

Is Michael not Hunter's father?

Do they know the truth?

Yeah.

When did they find out?

Two months ago.

Do you know where Hunter is now?

Hunter.

Hey, man, I'll catch up.

- What the hell?
- We got to go now.

What are you doing here?
Mom said you're not allowed

- to come...
- I don't give a damn

what your mother has to say.
Get in the car!

I'm at school,
I can't just leave.

I am your father, all right?

If I say you can leave,
then you can leave.

Get in, get in, get in.

Tell me what's going on.

We, um...

we got to get out of town.

I'm not going anywhere.
You're acting crazy.

Look, I know things have been
a little off

between you and me lately,

all right, but...

everything is gonna be fine.

You are my son.
I am your father.

That is that.

I'm calling Mom.

No, you are not!

She is not part
of our life anymore.

Do you understand me?

I'm sorry.

I didn't mean to yell.
I just...

What did you do?
Is Mom okay?

She's fine.

Your mother is fine.

I need to tell Doug
where we're going

so Mom doesn't freak out.

What? What?

Dougie is dead.

What?

What did you do?

I di- I didn't mean to.
I know how much he means to you.

I love you so much, son.

He just made me so angry.

You killed my father.

I am your father.

According to the ex-wife,

Michael's been staying
in the loft above the bar.

- We've got two floors to cover.
- ROSSl: Have your people

maintain a perimeter
around the building.

Should we wait for SWAT?

We're out of time. Hunter knows
Michael's not his real father.

If he rejects him, Michael could
lash out at whoever's closest,

including Hunter.

All right, let's move.

MIKE
Best friend...

MIKE
Life worth living...

FBl. Michael Janeczko,
put the gun down.

He told me I wasn't his father.

I'm sure you didn't mean that.

Right, Hunter?

You were frustrated.

I, I was hurt because
of what happened to Doug.

That wasn't your fault,

huh, Michael?

It was an accident.

I would never hurt my son.

Tell him how you feel.

He raised you.

No matter what, he'll always
be your real dad.

It's true.

You're always there for me.

You're my dad.

Put your weapon...

You put yours down!

Okay, okay.

Okay.

Don't do it! Put it down!

Hunter,

give me the gun.

He killed Doug.

He was gonna kill me.

I know, but if you
pull that trigger,

it is gonna be you
going to prison and not him.

I didn't ask for any of this.

I know. I know.

Everything's gonna be okay.

All right? Look, you...

you just got to trust me.

Okay?

Please.

Okay.

Spencer, I'm fine.

I swear it's just a scratch.

I don't know.
I count two cuts, three bruises,

a black eye, and possibly
a fractured rib.

I'm not trying to tell you
how to do your job,

but you should probably
consider giving her a CAT scan.

Ignore him.

You okay?

Yeah, I will be.

What about him?

"You may be deceived
if you trust too much,

but you will live in torment
if you don't trust enough. "

Frank Crane.

Look, JJ, all I'm saying is,
I am never

making you angry again.
I mean, who knew

the Pennsylvania Petite could
give such an ass-whooping?

Well, I'm just glad

my hand-to-hand coach
could work his schedule

around my State Department
duties.

It's my pleasure.

I'm just really grateful
that it all paid off.

You were great out there.

I'm proud of you.

Why don't you get
your little butt home?

I'm sure Will's waiting on you.

Oh, yeah, well, we did have
dinner reservations,

but I'm thinking
we'll do takeout instead.

Thanks, Derek.

Yeah.

Come in.

- Hey.
- Hey.

I thought I was
the one supposed to be

burning the midnight oil.

Well, with Strauss away,
the, uh,

director asked me
to do a little extra.

I'm actually looking forward
to having her back.

Right.
It's not the greatest way

to spend Valentine's Day,
now, is it?

I forgot, too.

Some of the singles
were gonna go find a bar

and grab a drink
if you want to come along.

I mean, unless there's
someplace else you could be.

No, I think I'll pass,
but thank you.

Hmm.

Uh, what about the paperwork?

Well, Strauss
comes back next week.

I don't want her to be bored.

Good night, Hotch.

Good night, Morgan.

Hi.

Flowers. Wow.
Thank you.

You're welcome.

It's not even Friday.

No, I know, I just
get called away so often

that I thought we should
grab the opportunity

while we had it.

Well, that's very thoughtful.

Let me get my stuff.

Take your time.

So what's our plan?

Well, I suppose I could tell
you, but, uh,

I don't want to spoil
the surprise, so

you'll just have to trust me.

My first mistake.

- Oh...
- You forget something?

This.

Thought we ought to get that
out of the way.

Spare us any awkwardness.

You don't have
the market cornered

on surprises, Aaron.

You know, it's not often
that I'm speechless.

- Really?
- Yeah, but I am now.

It's a nice color on you.

Yeah.
