some new blood flowing ♪

hit the street ♪

You ok?

Yeah. I just need
some fresh air.

I'm going to, uh, I'm gonna
run around a little bit.

I'm gonna be
as good as new.

Are we home?

Not yet, buddy.
Go back to sleep, ok?

He's a goofball.



Aah...
Grrr!

Hmm.
He fainted.

Matt.

Dad!

Aah!
Ya-hah!

Ohh!

Whoo, I got you.

My heart is racing.

Ha!

Whoo...

What is it?

Car just stopped.

Must be the battery.

Stop fooling around.



No, I'm serious.
The car will not start.

At least turn
the lights on.

Mom's afraid
of the dark.

No, I'm not.

Rrr...

Whew!

I got you.

I got you.

Ohh!

Hi, hi, hi. Sorry for the
cryptic late-night text,

but I promised I'd fill you in
on the way here,

and I am a girl
who keeps her promises, so,

this boy was found
two hours ago

in the middle of nowhere.

Technically he was found
outside of Crockett, Arizona.

My point is, he has clearly
been to super hell

and escaped some sort
of captivity.

How do we know he wasn't
just dropped off there?

Well, he has fresh cuts
on the bottom of his feet

from the local cactus fields, and
that's away from any through roads.

And his skin is rubbed raw
around his ankles from chains.

He must've had a chance
to escape and he took it.

Or the unsub could have
had him in transit.

My God, you guys,
look at his eyes.

Yeah, he's jaundiced. Probably
hasn't seen daylight in a while.

Yeah, and there's
a lot of scars here.

And those are the ones
we can see.

It's hard to tell for certain,
but he's maybe 13.

Are there any missing
children in the area, Garcia?

None until now, but, sir,
you may have more

information than I do.
- I do. Earlier tonight

another boy was reported
missing in Flagstaff.

That's not that far.
It can't be a coincidence.

Technically it could,
but Arizona has the lowest

abduction rate in the country,
so the chances of these cases

not being related
are ridiculously slim.

Yeah. That's why child abduction
rapid deployment

will meet you on the ground.

The Flagstaff abduction
is Billy Henderson, 13.

His parents say
he was coming back

from a friend's house after dinner.
He never made it.

Ok, they set up roadblocks,
but the unsub has a head start.

Right now our best chance
of finding Billy Henderson

is to figure out
what the first victim knows.

Exactly. So, Morgan,
you and JJ go to the hospital,

see if you can
get through to him.

The rest of us will set up
at the police station.

Losing his victim has likely
enraged the unsub.

No telling what
he'll do to Billy.

No!

Please!

Please...

Please, no!

"Memory
is a complicated thing,

a relative to truth,
but not its twin."

Barbara Kingsolver.

Apparently Billy
was riding his bike home

from his friend's house
last night.

They find the bike?

No, the unsub was smart enough
to cover his tracks.

And he has the guts
to take a good kid

from a decent neighborhood.

Billy left his friend's
house at 8:20 p.m.

The ride home was less than
a half a mile.

You're on speaker,
Garcia.

Ok, I got the whole gang on.

It looks like
the first victim

was definitely held in
captivity in Crawford, Arizona.

Why is that?

Because a woman walked
in to Crawford P.D.

this morning,
says she remembers a boy

in chains, in Crawford,
30 years ago,

just like the boy
found last night.

Is she still
at the station?

No. She dropped that bomb of
information and then she took off.

What's her name?

Her name's Samantha Allen.

Most documents have
her listed as Sam Allen.

36, never married,
born and raised

and lived her whole life
in Crawford,

owns and operates a nursery,
the plant kind, not the baby kind.

Mother died when she was 5,
dad's a real estate developer.

Is there
security footage?

Yes. I'm sending that to you.

It's on your tablets right now.

What's she looking at?

I can't tell.

What happened?

It looks like
she was spooked.

Dave, you and Prentiss see if you
can find Samantha Allen.

Reid and I will get
set up at the station.

All we can hope
is that Morgan and JJ

get through to the survivor.

You can't examine
the scars?

I can't get close enough.

He has the most severe case
of C.E.R. I've ever seen.

Conditioned
emotional response.

I've only seen it in vets.

That's worse
than PTSD.

He had an adrenaline
rush when he escaped,

but coming down from that
will be just as extreme.

And I'm sure he's
sensitive to light and sound.

Incredibly. We're keeping it
as quiet and dark as possible.

It's probably
what he's used to.

He's also been
somewhere cramped.

His legs show signs
of advanced arthritis.

Any idea
how old he is?

It's hard to tell.
His growth has been stunted.

He's got major tooth
and skin decay,

clearly from a massive
vitamin D deficiency.

Best guess.

Maybe 16.

Hey.

My name's Derek.

I'm one of the good guys.

And this is my friend.

I'm Jennifer.

You're safe now.

Doctor says you haven't
been eating much.

Food looks pretty good.

You must be thirsty.

Here you go.

It's ok. It's ok.

It's ok.

JJ, this is years
of conditioning.

Have Garcia go back to 2000
for missing kids.

Yeah.

Detective,
I'm Agent Hotchner.

Detective Perez.

This is Dr. Reid.

I thought your team
was bigger.

The rest are following
other leads.

Is CARD retracing the escape route
that the boy in chains took?

They have been
canvassing all night.

There's another team
in Flagstaff retracing

Billy Henderson's
bike ride.

In the chief's office.
Where are Billy's parents?

Thank you.

Detective, you talked
to Sam Allen over here

and it looked like one of
these photos upset her.

Do you have any idea why?

- Yeah, well, it's weird.
- Why is that?

Because most of these people
have passed away.

That's our old chief.

That one there.
He built the station

and some of the houses
around here.

It's J.B. Allen,

Sam's father.

Hi there.
Can I help you?

We're with the FBI.

We heard you were at
the police station earlier.

Oh. I told the other detectives,
that was a mistake.

Why did you leave the station
when you saw your father's photo?

I didn't.

We saw the security footage.

You told them you saw a boy
in chains when you were a kid.

Why do you think your father
had something to do with this?

He doesn't.
I never said that.

My father is a good man.

This isn't about him, ok?

I told the other detective,
I made a mistake.

You know what I think?

I think you saw the news
coverage of that little boy

they found last night
and it triggered something.

If you know anything
that can help us

and you're keeping it
to yourself,

that's as horrendous as what's
happening to those children.

Look, I'm sorry.

I really, really am.

But I--I--
I can't help you.

Come on, Randy.

Listen, I know
how scared you are.

I know you think
he can still hurt you,

that he's just
outside that door.

But I promise you
he's not.

Even if he was, he'd have to
get through me to get to you,

and I'm not about
to let that happen.

So it sounds like Billy's
always been cautious.

He's our oldest.
And he follows the rules.

It drives his little sister crazy
because she's the opposite.

And he rides his bike a lot?

All the time.

Even at night?

He's got lights
and reflectors.

He even has a head lamp
on his helmet.

We used to ride
with him, but he's 13.

He was only
two streets over.

And you feel pretty certain that

he wouldn't go anywhere
with a stranger?

No. No way. Never.

If someone asked for help,
would he stop?

Hold on. Are you saying that Billy
was taken because he's polite?

I'm not saying
that it's his fault

or yours.

Billy is a cautious child,

and that will be
his strength right now.

She left after seeing
a photo of her father?

Did she accuse him?

No, the opposite.
She protected him.

Garcia ran her mental health
history. She had some grief counseling

after her mother died,
but other than that, no therapy.

We can talk to her,
but we can't force her to help.

No, but something in her gut
brought her in here.

If there's any truth
to her instincts,

there's gonna be some kind
of a record of a missing boy

from 30 years ago.

Well, have Garcia
check unsolved cases

and also check into
J.B. Allen's history.

We can't rule anybody out.

Ok.

How are Morgan and JJ
doing with the boy?

He's so traumatized,
he can't even speak.

Give me everything you have
on J.B. Allen also,

all of the unsolved
missings.

You know what? Go back to 1980
just to cover bases.

Thanks, Garcia.

It's ok. It's ok.

What did Garcia find out?

She broadened her search,

but nothing that matches
his description.

Somebody's gotta be
missing this kid.

No, hey, hey, no. No, no.

That's not for us.
That's not for us.

It's for the doctors
outside.

It's for the doctors,
not for us.

It's all right.

It's ok. It's not for us.

There you go.
Come on back.

Here. Just take it.

There you go.

I, um, I got him to nod,

but...not much more
than that.

And you asked him
his name?

Yeah.

What about in Spanish?

It doesn't matter
the language if he won't talk.

Mi nombre es Jennifer.

¿Como te llamas?

What's your name,
sweetheart?

Can I see
what you have there?

Ah.

Do you like eagles?

Yeah, the wings are--
are beautiful, aren't they?

Your back? Wings?

Wings on your back.

Angel?

Is your name Angel?

So, softball,
basketball, and soccer.

You played a lot
of team sports.

Was your dad a coach?

No. He was always
too busy with work.

I guess that's why
he kept me busy.

It was ok, though.

The house was too quiet
after mom died.

She had cancer.

I didn't really know what
that meant growing up,

just that...she wasn't
gonna get any better.

Ok.

Let's start with today.

What brought you in here?

I saw that...
that boy on the news.

And I saw, um...

I can't really explain it.

I s--
it was like a movie

in fast-forward.

It was dark.

So dark.

And that--
that little boy,

he had the same
chains on his ankles.

And then it was over.

Those flashes
that I saw. That boy...

Was he real?

That's what
we need to find out.

Thanks, JJ.

Is the boy talking?

No, but they figured out
that his name is Angel.

Garcia sent a list of all
missing kids since 1980

with a concentration in southwest US.
Most are runaways.

All right, let's eliminate the runaways
and focus on lower-risk victims.

Whoever's doing this
likes the challenge.

Here's the thing.
This unsub is too controlled

to let his victims escape. I think
Angel must have gotten away

because he was being
transferred somewhere.

I'm running out
of options here.

The state troopers
are eliminating roadblocks,

and CARD
is coming up empty.

If J.B. Allen is a suspect,

why aren't we just
kicking down his door?

Because it's too risky.

If Allen is who
we're looking for,

he has a psychiatric disorder
that drives everything he does.

He'll do whatever it takes
to hide Billy,

but he'll sacrifice him

if it means protecting
his own freedom.

Everything that
this unsub does is methodical.

He had a secure place
to keep Angel for years,

but when Angel escaped,

he didn't mourn his loss.
He drove straight to Flagstaff.

The questions is,
why did he choose Flagstaff?

He'd only drive 60 miles
out of his way

if he knew someone was there
to make him feel better.

We don't think that Billy
was a victim of opportunity.

We think he was the target.

So this isn't
a stranger abduction.

Chances are he'd seen
Angel before, too.

The question is,
where would he have access

to both of these children?

Who should we
be looking at?

Friends, neighbors,
coaches, other parents.

We believe that this man
has met Billy before.

What? You're saying

this son of a bitch
watched my son?

I'm say he talked to him
long enough to earn his trust.

Ohh!

But the other little boy,
the one that you just found,

I mean, why don't you ask him
who's doing this?

He's not talking to us yet.

Oh, my God.

Well, what happened to him?

Oh, my God!

That's right. That's right.
Bring it over.

Angel, that's pretty good,
my man. You got it.

Keep going.

Ok, please tell me
you found something.

I want to tell you that.
JJ, there's not a single kid

in the tri-state area
who's gone missing

whose name is Angel.

I did a nationwide search.
Still zilch.

Why wouldn't he
be reported missing?

You tell me.

There's a lot of undocumented
workers in Arizona.

Yes, I know. I've pulled
harvest schedules already.

But what about school
registrations?

There are more Angels
than you think.

We think he's been held
for a long time.

Did any of them drop out
during grade school?

Go back to at least 2004.

2004. 2004...

Second-grader Angel Suarez.

- You got a picture?
- Yes.

And if I run my simulation
software to age him 8 years...

He'd be the boy that's in the room
with you right now. It's him, JJ.

You are amazing.
Thank you. Can you send--

Yes. Send his mother's
information to you right now.

You're the best. Bye.

That sounded like
good news.

I'm about to call Angel's mom.
He's responding to Morgan.

It won't be long
before he's talking.

Ok, Angel, the Doc's here.

You want me to stay?

All right,
I'll be right outside.

Ok.

Hey, Angel.

You're doing great.

Your mom will be
so happy to see you.

Ok.

It's ok.
We can start again.

I'd like you
to close your eyes.

Please.

Close your eyes.

Concentrate on your breathing.

Ok.

You said it was dark.

You were in your pajamas.

Yes. I was burning up.

You probably had a fever.

What did you do?

I called out for my mom,

but she wasn't
strong enough,

so I got into bed
with her.

Was your dad there?

No.

Did you hear anything?

My mom's breathing.

Was she having trouble?

Yes.

It's a strange sound.

Was there another noise
in the house?

There's something else,
but I can't see anything.

I followed it.

My feet are so cold.

Because you were outside?

No. The basement.

I see him.

No, I was too scared.

No, no. I'd go back up
to my parents' bedroom.

Mommy. Mommy.

But I peeked
out the window.

And there's the boy.

What is he doing?

He's trying to get out
of that truck.

He's trying
to get out of...

Is your dad driving
the truck?

No, no, no. He couldn't
have done this.

You don't understand.
He raised me in that house.

He couldn't have been
doing that all these years.

- No!
- Ok. Ok.

J.B.'S friends
with the whole town.

Never remarried.

Raised Sam by himself.

That's why this is
so painful for her.

She doesn't want to believe
that he's capable of it,

but her memory's telling her
differently.

So you believe her?

It's very hard to fake
visceral reactions like that.

Yeah, but she's talking about
a time of serious trauma,

on a night she climbed into
bed with her dying mother.

That plus her age,

it's the perfect storm
for a recovered memory.

Wasn't that a huge therapy trend
in the eighties?

A lot of women
manufactured memories

of their fathers
doing horrific things.

And misguided therapists
convinced them that

their nightmares were real.

It was a huge waste
of our resources.

I'm, uh, just not sure
about this.

I think she's credible enough

to warrant discreet
rolling surveillance.

You'll have to use
your own team,

'cause he'd recognize
members of this force.

If he has Billy, he won't
hesitate to get rid of him.

I'll get a CARD team
member to join Reid.

Allen can't know
we suspect him.

You know, if J.B. Allen
is our unsub,

he certainly doesn't
seem unhinged.

He went to the market today,

and he stopped by
his daughter's nursery,

and right now I'm
watching him landscaping.

At his house?

Yeah.

Is it isolated?

Incredibly isolated.
There's a lot of land.

You remember what Garcia
sent us on J.B. Allen?

He started his contracting
business in 1975,

married Sam's mom
that same year.

She died when Sam
was 5, as we know.

He never remarried, and despite
the newer subdivisions he built,

he stayed in the house
he shared with his wife.

So he's either
sentimental,

or he didn't sell because
he's customized the house

to hide his victims.

Do you think Angel
blames himself?

I know I did.

You know, seeing his mom
for the first time

may not go well.

Well, right now it's just about
the shame he's feeling.

She's gonna have to realize
that he may not want to see her.

Aah!
Angel? Angel!

Angel, no, no!
Angel, no, no!

Angel, stop!
Stop! Stop! Stop!

It's ok.

JJ, get a towel. It's ok.

Angel, listen to me.
You're safe. You're safe. It's ok.

Angel, you're safe.

It's all right.

Please. He's right there.
I have to. I have to see him.

I thought he was gone
all these years.

My sweet boy.

Don't you understand?
I need to hold him.

Ok. Listen.

Angel hasn't been held
in a very long time.

Things happened to him.

He's going to have
a hard time at first.

Come on.

I know this isn't easy
for you.

If I accuse him
and he's done nothing...

Then I've betrayed him.

But if he has,
you'll save a young boy.

The best way for you to recover
more of your memory

is to return
to the source

of the initial
sensory trigger.

That was the basement.

How do I explain
going down there?

Did he have anything
of yours down there?

Yeah.

See if you can
get it back.

Help!

Help!

Help!

Please help me!

I have to help my boy.

And you will.

But first,
we need your help.

Someone else's
little boy is missing.

We're trying to find out
how this man knew both

your son and Billy,
and to do that,

I need to know
everything that happened

the day Angel disappeared.

It was a Tuesday,

after school.

The children were
in the front yard.

It started raining,

but Angel
never came back in.

Did you see anyone
talking to them?

No. No cars. Nothing.

The neighbors--
the neighbors helped me look.

I wanted to tell the authorities.
I really did.

But--but we'd have to
leave the country

and I had to think
of my entire family.

Dios mio.

You just have to talk
to him, Sam.

You can do this.

Right.

Dad?

You home?

Back here!

- Hey.
- Hey.

The yard looks good.

Oh, thanks.

The kids at the store said you
were going to Phoenix,

but I saw your truck
down at the police station.

Oh, yeah. Their order
for potted palms came in,

so I just--I dropped it off
at the station.

Mm. Chili.
You want a bowl?

It smells great, Dad,
but I can't stay.

Since when?
It's my chili.

He's not trying
to get her out of there.

Not yet.

Hey, is my old catcher's mitt
still down in the basement?

Yeah. Why?

I was thinking about coaching
softball down at the Rec.

Yeah? That's great.

You still got the homerun
record, you know.

Yeah, I know.

That practice paid off, huh?

Mm-hmm.

Is it, uh,
it's still in the bin?

Yeah. Let me get it.

No, no, no, that's ok.
I got it.

Uh--uh, I don't think so.

I got boxes everywhere.

I've been trying
to sort through some things.

I'm thinking of having
a yard sale next week.

You want in?

Sounds good, but come on.
I can get it.

Suit yourself.

He let her
go down there.

Yeah, but he hesitated.

He's not acting like he's got
something to hide, Emily.

That's how
he's gotten away with it.

We don't know that.

You find it?

'Cause
it's right over here.

Oh.

Thanks.

Told you it was a mess
down here.

Yeah. Yeah.

You sure you can't stay?

Yeah.
I'm not feeling great,

and I gotta get up early
tomorrow.

You going to Phoenix?

Uh, pickups, deliveries.
It'll be a long one.

Uh-huh.

Ok, then.
See you later, Peanut.

Later, Dad.

I'm so sorry.

It's ok. You did
everything we asked.

There was nothing
in the basement. I'm sorry.

Now all we've got
is the kid.

It's called a challenge
coin, Angel.

Legend says an American
pilot in World War I

was gunned down
over Germany.

And he crawled, across
no-man's-land into French territory.

He was desperate
to survive.

And he should
have been safe,

except that the French
thought he was a German.

And he was almost executed.

But he showed them a coin.

It had his squadron's
insignia on it.

It was given to him
by a fellow pilot

so that they would never
forget what they shared.

What happened to him?

A French soldier
recognized the insignia.

And they set him free.

Angel, the man who took you
took another boy

and we have to find him.

Can you help us do that?

Angel...

I want you to have this.

It's kept me safe.

Listen...

Carl Buford.

That's the name of the man
who hurt me.

I was just a young boy
like you, Angel.

And I thought about doing that
very same thing to myself. I did.

Because the shame was too much.

But instead, I kept the pain
buried inside of me.

And it tore me apart.

But, Angel, I never let
that son of a bitch beat me.

I never gave him that.

I want to make this man pay
for what he's done to you.

But I need your help.

I promise you that whoever
hurt you will not win.

You and me together

can take away
what he kept from you

and what he values the most,
and that's freedom.

Angel, please.

Will you help me do that?

Can you tell us if any
of these men look familiar?

No.

It was always too dark.

I'm so sorry.

How do you feel?

Like I failed.

You didn't.

I failed him.

I actually thought
he could have done all of this.

I think it took more than a
buried memory to come in here.

There is something
about your father's behavior,

things he has said and done

that have bothered you
for a long time.

You buried those.

Just like the memory.

Look...

You lost your mother
when you were very young.

It would have been
too devastating to lose

your father as well.

Repressing those memories
is a defense mechanism.

So, um----

what else did I bury?

His mood swings, probably.

Do you remember when

he was happy one day,
angry the next?

Yeah.

And when his moods
were extreme,

did he give you gifts?

How do you know that?

What did he give you?

A bike, once.

Was that one that
you had asked for?

No.

It was a--
it was a BMX.

Any others?

My catcher's mitt
from today.

What did he do?

You can tell me.

He used to...

He used to bite me.

He hasn't for a while.

But he did...

He did other things.

Will you let the doctor
take a look?

Maybe we can match
dental records.

Ok.

What about a few years ago?

In 2004, did he give you
anything?

That's the year
he gave me Randy.

Randy?

My--my dog.

He was just a puppy then.

Guys, Sam's father
gave her gifts,

trophies,
from each abduction.

That's significant.

I didn't know
that's what they were.

We need to find out if Angel had
a puppy the day he was taken.

A puppy?

Yeah.

Ohh...That's right.

Some of the neighbors
were giving them away that day.

They had a whole box.

But I wouldn't let
the boys keep one.

Hotch, you hear that?

Yes. Thanks, JJ.

Uh, wait, Hotch.

Um...We're trying to get
a dental match.

He's got oldbite marks.

What is it?

Oh, my...

My dad has his teeth
recapped a few years ago.

He said something like,
that's what happens

when you get older or whatever.
He made a joke about it.

You better not give me
any trouble.

No! No!

We're heading to Allen's house.

You think he's got
a secondary location?

He could, but guys like him
keep their victims close.

We'll search every inch
of the property.

- Keep us posted.
- Will do.

JJ.

What's going on?

They're going to find
J.B. Allen.

Morgan.

Angel said
it was always dark.

He must have had him
underground somewhere.

It's a big property.
Let's keep looking.

Oh, God.

It's clear.

His truck's still here.
He may be, too.

He wouldn't risk it. He's gotta
have another vehicle.

I'll get the roadblocks
back up.

Any idea where he would go?

Someplace that feels
like home. Let's go.

You're on speaker, Garcia.

So I tracked J.B. Allen's
property developments

over the last 30 years.
They're all over the map--

well, of Arizona, anyway.
Sending it to you now.

Hope you can make more
sense of it than I can.

Thanks, Garcia.

The one thing
that your memory

and Angel's escape
have in common

is he was getting rid
of both boys.

He would only do that if he had
another boy waiting in the wings.

That means he met
his victims before.

How? I mean,
they're hours apart.

Look at the towns. He had
subdivisions in all of them.

Construction sites are a magnet
for 10- to 12-year-old boys.

He...

He gave kids a ride
on the backhoe all the time.

They would just line up
for it.

Oh, my God. I--

I--I didn't know.

We found his target-rich
environment.

The construction sites?

Yeah.

See if Sam remembers
a particular one

that he took her to
frequently.

Just one place?

He keeps his victims
for years.

The burial sites would
be someplace special,

and he'd need a reason
to revisit.

Is there a favorite place
your dad likes to go?

You mean like the lake
or something?

No. Most likely having to do
with his work.

Somewhere
he's proud of?

His first development.

Where is that?

In Mesa.

Every few years
he adds on to it.

He adds another house?

He says that it's the place that
reminds him how he got started.

It set the foundation
for everything.

Did you hear that?

Loud and clear.

Please! Somebody!

Help me!

Help!

Help!

No!

No! No--

Come on. It's ok.

You're all right. You're ok.

Morgan, that's enough!
That's enough!

Are you ready, Angel?

Yeah.

Nino mio, mi nino.

Mi nino.

Mi nino.

Do you always
keep them with you?

Yeah.

But the one I gave Angel was the
only one that had wings on it.

You know Angel's
never gonna let that go.

What you shared,
I know that wasn't easy.

None of this is easy.

I can't help but picture
little Morgan.

You were so alone.

I'm here right now because
of what that man did to me.

I know.

I'm just...Sorry.
