Criminal Minds (2005–…): Season 7, Episode 3 - Dorado Falls - full transcript
The BAU investigate a mass murder at Synalock, an Internet security company located in Charlottesville, Virginia. Five people were shot, while three others were stabbed. By the severity of ...
TV ANNOUNCER:
This cream is a miracle.
My fine lines
and sagging skin are gone.
I look like a different person.
(water splashing)
(bang)
(sighs)
Hey, bro,
thanks for the referral.
Painting the Smith house today.
Hey, it's me.
Heads up,
someone's got eyes on us.
I need to come in.
(phones ringing)
RECEPTlONlST:
Synalock, may I help you?
He's on a conference call,
but he should be off
in a few minutes.
-(phone rings)
-Mr. Werner is not
available, can l
have him return?
Thank you.
What?
Did you change your hair?
No.
Not really.
(door opens)
Hey, just give me a sec.
What do I have this morning?
Okay, move London to 12:30,
and reschedule lunch
with Colburn.
So, what's going on?
I don't know.
You tell me.
(gunshots)
(screaming)
It's today?
I can't; I've got a big meeting.
Fine, put her on.
Hi, sweetheart.
I know.
Okay.
Well, Mom's gonna record
the pageant.
I know, I wish
I could be there, too.
Okay, break a leg, honey.
(grunts)
(beeping)
Hey, good morning.
Oh, look at you spoiling me.
Thank you.
Where's yours?
Oh, I quit caffeine.
-Trying to relax more.
Well, don't relax too much.
You got ten hours of takedown
and arrest procedure training
to recertify.
-Since when?
Well, since the hearing.
Am I the only one?
Prentiss, you've been away.
Oh, yeah, I guess
I can't complain.
Well, especially not
to your trainer.
-Oh, you're doing it?
-Don't get too excited.
I'm about to put you
through the wringer.
You can believe that.
Workplace massacre this morning
at Synalock lncorporated.
That's in Charlottesville,
which is practically
our own backyard.
That's a high body count.
GARClA:
Yeah, eight victims in total.
All employees,
including the CEO.
Five were shot,
three were stabbed to death.
A gun and a knife--
that's highly unusual.
Could be two killers.
That would be the first time
for a workplace killing.
Their business
is lnternet security
for corporations.
They didn't have
video surveillance?
They just moved
into a new building.
They didn't have time
to set up their system yet.
How is it no one heard
or saw anything?
This killer was prepared,
highly organized.
This was premeditated.
Kept his emotions contained.
Pretty hard to do for the
typical workplace killer
who's mentally ill or outraged
about some perceived injustice.
The high body count indicates
a hell of a lot of rage.
One employee,
John Owen, was MlA.
Local PD haven't been able
to locate him yet.
Any unhappy clients?
Or a domestic situation
among the employees?
Don't know, but your friendly
neighborhood genius girl
will find out.
Well, bottom line is
a mass killing
is a flashy show of force.
It's a way to become known.
Which is why suicide,
often by cop,
is usually part of the plan.
So, where's the UnSub?
ROSSl: He has a reason
to stay hidden.
HOTCH:
He's not finished yet.
RElD: "Men are not
prisoners of fate,
"but prisoners
of their own minds. "
Franklin D. Roosevelt.
Agent Hotchner,
I'm Trooper Long
from the Bureau
of Crime lnvestigation.
Appreciate you coming
so quickly.
Absolutely; these are
Agents Rossi and Jareau,
and Dr. Reid.
So, a FedEx courier
called it in?
At 8:03 on his early route.
No one expects to go to work
and never come home,
but today at Synalock,
a new company providing
lnternet security...
After the news broke,
half the town called in sick.
-Understandable.
-The media's in a frenzy.
A press briefing with you guys
would calm them down.
Of course, as soon
as we make our assessment.
So, what do we know about
the missing employee so far?
Apparently, he's a programmer.
We have an unconfirmed report
of a neighbor seeing his car
near his home this morning.
You said the CEO's office
was ransacked?
Yes, Adam Werner's office.
JJ.
This is the first victim
we found-- Nathan Munz.
Position of the body suggests
he was one of
the last ones killed.
He tried to escape
and almost made it to the exit.
Jane Burney
and Vinia Dev were here.
Jane tried to run;
Vinia didn't.
How do you know?
She's half under her desk,
which means she tried to hide,
and the UnSub found her.
So these three were stabbed,
and the rest were shot to death.
Have you considered two killers?
Yes, but the bloody footprints
all seem to come
from the same pair of shoes.
Given the violence,
if there were a second killer,
he'd be hard-pressed to get away
without leaving tracks.
If there's only one UnSub,
he used his gun first,
emptied his magazine,
didn't have a replacement,
and resorted to using his knife.
He'd have to be physically fit
or at least intimidating enough
to subdue so many people.
Well, if this were
highly premeditated,
he would have brought enough
ammunition to kill everyone.
Unless he had a single target.
He killed the rest of them
because they were witnesses.
We need to figure out
who his first victim was.
These are contracts
Synalock had.
What was the UnSub looking for?
Maybe he was a client searching
for his own contract
to hide any connection
to Synalock after the murders.
Yeah, evertyhing's digital
these days, though.
A hard copy's just a back-up.
So, the UnSub's looking
for an object, an old record,
something not on a computer.
(chuckles)
Rossi, check this out.
So, uh, Werner was worried
enough about his safety
-to be armed.
-And he didn't have
time to go for his gun
or didn't perceive
the threat to be immediate.
Or...
keeping a gun around was out
of force of habit.
Well, he was a veteran.
-A naval officer,
by the looks of it.
A decorated one, at that.
He was awarded
the Navy Cross in 2000.
Something else used to be here.
Another picture frame.
Blood spatter overlay patterns
indicate victim number three
was over here,
victim number two right here,
and finally,
victim number one right here.
Adam Werner was killed first?
-Looks that way.
Which means the UnSub
made it all the way in here
without alarming anyone.
ROSSl:
He wasn't threatening.
That's why Werner
didn't pull the gun
we found in his office.
It could have been
the missing employee.
He may have taken that photo
from his office if he was in it.
Why would an employee
be interested
in Synalock's contracts?
Maybe this is about one client.
He could be after
specific company information.
He had another motive
besides killing.
(phone line ringing)
(phone rings)
Hello?
-Hey, Dad, it's me.
-Hey, Luke.
Your mother and l
were just talking about you.
Dad, listen to me.
Has anyone called you?
Asked you any questions?
About what?
About me.
No.
What's this about?
There's a situation.
What sort of situation?
I'll tell you about it
when I see you.
In the meantime, don't answer
your phone or your door, okay?
Why?
I'm on my way there now.
(beep, dialing)
RECORDlNG:
You've reached Jenna.
-Please leave a message.
-(beep)
Hey, it's Luke.
Uh, look, I know you don't want
to hear from me,
but something's come up,
and I need to know
that you and Ally
are safe, okay?
Call me, bye.
(beep)
It was clean and fast.
A slice through the left carotid
and abdominal aorta.
Major arteries
that would bleed out quickly.
Killed with an economy
of motion?
Yes, and all three stab victims
had similar wounds.
What about the shooting victims?
They all took two.45s
to the chest,
except for Adam Werner.
He took four body shots
and one to the head.
Execution style.
PRENTlSS:
Definite overkill.
Somebody was angry
with the boss.
Somebody with hunting skills.
Or a law enforcement background.
Thank you.
Mom? Dad?
DAD:
Hey, Luke. There you are.
Your mother's upstairs.
She was worried
that something happened.
It's good to see you, buddy.
Dad?
What have you done to my father?
What are you talking about?
I'm right here.
(chuckling):
I'm right here.
What's wrong?
Is this about the mission?
What mission?
What's wrong with you?
(gasps)
What have
you done to my father?
(gasps)
MORGAN:
Talk to me, little genie.
GARClA: Well, since you know
how to rub my lamp,
your wish is my command.
I checked
the Synalock client list,
and the Defense
lntelligence Agency is new
to them, so there really
isn't anything to report,
and everyone else is crazy happy
with their service.
-No complaints logged online?
-Zero.
I'm talking
every high-tech blog,
every chat room--
glowing accolades.
No one had anything contrary
to say about Synalock.
Any employees have a history
of domestic disturbances
or stalkers?
Not that I would
violate privacy laws
to check, she says,
but the answer is no.
-So Synalock is clean.
-Mm-hmm.
As a whistle.
Which reminds me.
You know how to whistle,
don'tcha?
You just... put your lips
together and blow.
I love it when you talk
old movies.
Later, baby girl.
With all the overkill on Werner,
there's got to be
a personal connection.
LONG:
We've located John Owen,
the missing employee-- he's
been at a Dr. Who convention
in San Diego since Saturday.
It was a scheduled vacation.
-Lucky guy.
-RElD: I'll say.
That's supposed to be
an awesome convention.
So if it wasn't someone
connected to the workplace,
who is it?
You know, given
the precision of the kills,
it could be someone
with a military background.
LONG:
Or a professional
hired by a business competitor.
A hit man would
just kill Werner.
Killing the entire office
seems... unprofessional.
HOTCH:
Werner was a Navy veteran.
He had D.I.A. contracts;
he had close ties
-to the military.
-Could be someone
from his past
harboring an old grudge.
HOTCH: Trooper, issue a Be-On-
the-Lookout to law enforcement
for a physically fit male
in his 30's to 40's,
possibly a veteran.
ROSSl: He appears nonthreatening
and blends in easily.
He's armed
and extremely dangerous.
He most likely will kill again,
either himself or others,
very soon.
(hard rock music blaring)
(mutes volume)
(muffled gasp)
What do you know
about Dorado Falls?
Nothing.
Is this because of Jenna?
What did you do to Jenna?!
Luke, please, stop this,
I'm begging you.
Your mother, her heart is weak.
Whatever is wrong,
we'll help you.
This is your last chance.
You tell me where
Mark and Mary Dolan are.
(sobbing):
I'm Mark Dolan! I'm your father!
For the love of God,
please...
Luke... we're your parents.
(gasping):
Luke...
Luke, please!
For the love of God, please.
Please, Luke.
I'm Mark Dolan!
I'm your father! (gasps)
(hard rock song blaring)
ROSSl: Are we sure
the UnSub is their son?
Luke Dolan called Synalock
early this morning.
Garcia confirmed it.
Know many, uh, 60-year-olds
with a boom box?
(hard rock music blaring)
(clicks off boom box)
He trying to mask the sound
of the gunshot?
Could be, or he was torturing
them with sound.
Why were they bound
and gagged in the closet?
Why not just
kill them right away?
Maybe he was trying to get
information from them.
-About what?
-(phone rings)
Go ahead, Garcia--
you're on speaker.
Okay, Luke Dolan was
in the same Navy unit
as our CEO Adam Werner.
That would be the 212th.
They were both
communication clerks
at Camp Patriot in Kuwait.
I'm sending all this information
to your e-mails now.
-Any other family?
-He has a wife, Jenna.
They've been separated for
years-- she lives in Bethesda
with her
eight-year-old daughter.
We need to bring her in
for protective custody
and to interview her.
Send local PD
and have our
nearest unit meet them.
Done and done.
Okay, looks like
he served 13 years;
honorable discharge in 2005.
Now a VP of a biotech company.
He was never
a Synalock employee.
So what happened to this guy?
Well, he separated
from his wife about a year ago,
but that's a bit far back
to be a trigger.
(sighs):
Well... he's unstable.
He's on a rampage of some kind.
What if, mentally, he was
reliving a combat situation?
Could be post-traumatic stress.
Everybody could look
like an enemy.
Prentiss, this was
a close-knit family.
Look at them--
they couldn't have been
more proud of their son.
How bad would
his disorder have to be
to make him kill
his own parents?
RElD: Post-traumatic stress
disorder rarely turns people
into killers, but soldiers
with PTSD have been known
to strangle their wives in bed
while having flashbacks
or nightmares
believing they're
on the battlefield.
In 2005, an lraqi war vet
assaulted two people
in Las Vegas
believing them to be
enemy combatants.
So Dolan's having
a sustained flashback?
Pathological disassociation--
one of the markers
of complex PTSD.
Although Dolan has been
stateside for six years.
An escalation of the symptoms
is possible,
but it'd be rare for them
to appear out of nowhere.
Well, he seems to have made
a successful transition
to civilian life.
Well, at least on paper it does.
We should find out if
he's had any symptoms
since he left the Navy.
It could've been the catalyst
for the separation.
I'll have Garcia
check his records.
RElD: Hotch, Dolan's
been going through this.
Look-- old mementos and journals
from his days in the service.
He didn't come here
just to kill his parents.
He came to get something.
He's on some sort of mission.
The car's washed,
spotless inside.
No paint separation or rust.
This accident was recent.
I agree.
The Navy's in his blood.
He would never
Iet that go without
getting it fixed immediately.
It might have triggered
his condition.
I'll have Garcia run the plates,
check for any recent accidents.
So, Dolan left the sedan and
didn't take the parents' car.
He was smart enough to know
it'd be tracked.
He's either on foot,
or he's stolen another vehicle.
If he's capable of doing this,
he's rational
and clear-thinking enough
to evade his perceived enemies.
So despite any mental
incapacity,
he's still performing
at a high level.
Just got word the local PD's at
the wife and daughter's house.
Dolan's unpredictable
when he's on a rampage.
We need to go wide; we need to
get the profile to the press.
Luke Dolan is a Navy veteran
we believe is suffering
from PTSD.
A recent trauma
may have triggered this.
He's experiencing
pathological disassociation
and may believe
he's in a combat situation.
What this means is, to him,
everyone is a potential enemy.
Do not underestimate him.
Despite his mental state,
he has extreme survival skills.
Right now we believe he's within
a 250-mile radius of Roanoke.
He is armed
and extremely dangerous.
It is important that
you do not approach this man.
He believes that
he is on a mission,
and if threatened,
he will kill.
So if you see him, stay away
and notify the authorities.
(engine starts)
-Sir.
-DlSPATCHER: All units,
-suspect is a Navy veteran...
-Sir, excuse me.
Sir, I need you
to stop right there.
DlSPATCHER:
14, what's your status?
OFFlCER: This is 14,
shutting down Linley Road now.
-Copy, 14.
-Sorry, this road's closed.
You'll have to turn around.
What's going on, Officer?
-Official police matter, sir.
ROSSl: One thing
that's been bothering me is,
the first victim, Adam Werner,
was given
the Navy Cross in 2000.
We weren't at war.
Exactly.
You have to show
extreme sacrifice,
risk life and limb to win the
second-highest Medal of Valor.
So what did he do during
peacetime to deserve it?
So, Garcia discovered
part of Dolan's military records
were encrypted.
I just got the complete file
from the Pentagon.
He wasn't a clerk;
he was a Navy SEAL.
ROSSl:
Wait, let me guess.
-Adam Werner was, too.
Yeah, Werner was
the SEAL team leader;
Dolan was his number two.
Their unit was part of JSOC.
They were involved in over
20 highly-classified missions.
Which missions were in 2000?
Uh... only one.
Operation Dorado Falls.
-See what you can find out
about it. Will do.
-That changes the profile.
-Definitely.
How so?
Navy SEALs are screened
carefully for vulnerability
to PTSD;
they're resistant to it.
Okay, so why would
a trained Navy SEAL
kill his commanding officer
-and his own parents?
-HOTCH: I don't know, but it's
gonna be a lot harder
to find him.
Very few people on this planet
are capable of stopping him.
Luke Dolan just evaded a
roadblock near his wife's house.
They searched the surrounding
area-- there's no sign of him.
Did you notice any recent
changes in Luke's behavior?
I saw him Friday afternoon
when he dropped Ally off.
He was fine.
Did he ever mention
Dorado Falls?
No. What is that?
A mission he was on.
He didn't share
that part of his life with me.
Luke was always very good
at compartmentalizing.
Is that why you two separated?
JENNA: He's a good man
and a wonderful father,
but I always felt he was
more married
to the Navy than me.
You weren't a priority to him?
Somebody once told me
all Navy SEALs had a bolt hole--
a secret location
outside the country
where they had another identity
and bank account set up.
And I asked Luke about it once,
and he didn't deny it.
Fact of the matter is, he was
ready to leave in an instant.
He had an exit strategy?
Yeah.
That didn't include us.
Is Daddy gonna be okay?
Honey, come here.
Okay, so it turns out
6:20 Friday night,
Dolan got in a car accident
-in Bethesda.
-That must have been after he
-dropped off his daughter.
-He suffered minor injuries.
-He refused medical treatment.
Well, his wife said
he was fine when he left her.
What was his mental state
after the accident?
Uh, normal. Field sobriety test
came up negative.
MORGAN:
That wouldn't rule out drug use.
RElD:
I'd consider schizophrenia,
except he's the wrong age
for the first psychotic break.
Could be an aneurysm
or a brain tumor.
Well, one thing's for sure, he's
having a mental breakdown.
But what are the
specific features of it?
He's not living in
a past time and place.
He's living in the present
with the capacity
and intelligence
to evade law enforcement.
(gunfire over TV)
Honey, grab me a soda, will ya?
Honey, the movie's starting.
You're missing Robert Mitchum.
If you want her to live,
tell me where my family is.
He took my husband!
Boyd was bleeding,
and he dragged him out.
-Mrs. Milgram... -ls someone
from the Army helping?
Ma'am, listen to me.
The FBl is in charge of
looking for your husband.
But I need you
to try to remember
-what Luke Dolan said.
-I can't.
-lt was gibberish.
Yes, you can.
-Just close your eyes and...
-I don't... can't.
Ma'am, I believe that you can.
Just listen to the sound
of my voice, and you'll be fine.
Just try.
-Close your eyes.
-Oh...
There you go.
Just relax and breathe.
Very good.
Now, what were you doing before
he broke into your house?
MRS. MlLGRAM:
I was in the kitchen.
I was pouring a drink
for my husband.
He takes me to the living room
and ties me up.
MORGAN:
What does he say?
Where are my real parents?
MRS. MlLGRAM: He asks where
his real parents are.
How the hell should I know?
I don't even know you.
Don't play dumb.
You replaced them.
Does he think your husband did
something to them?
He says, "You replaced them."
-The replacements are dead.
-"The replacements are dead. "
Does he mention Dorado Falls?
MRS. MlLGRAM:
Yes...
This is about
Dorado Falls, isn't it?
...and gaslighting.
MR. MlLGRAM:
Dorado Falls?
You're gaslighting me
'cause of the mission.
MR. MlLGRAM: The mission?
Who was your commanding officer?
You won't get away with this.
Where are you keeping
Jenna and Ally?
(grunts)
Where's my family?
He was calm, until he asked
about his family.
Then he hits Boyd with a gun.
All of the Milgrams' cars are
still here, so he must
have taken the general in
whatever vehicle he came in.
You know, he talked about
gaslighting.
He thinks someone's trying to
purposely distort his reality.
He said his parents
had been replaced.
He just sounds delusional.
You know, he might have
Capgras Syndrome.
It's a delusional disorder in
which one believes that their
friends and loved ones have been
replaced by imposters.
Sorta like lnvasion
of the Body Snatchers.
It typically involves
only one sense, such as sight.
Basically, the neural connection
between the visual cortex
and the emotional center
of the brain become severed
so that looking at a loved one
doesn't elicit
the same emotional response
one would expect.
So you think that
they're an imposter.
And the interesting thing is
that the auditory connection
remains intact so that if they
were to hear a loved one speak
and not see them, they'd think
that they were real.
What causes this syndrome?
It's unknown in
60% of the cases,
but the rest have
an organic cause,
such as tumor or head trauma.
He was in a car accident Friday.
People with delusional disorders
don't all become killers though.
True. But Dolan's background as
a Navy SEAL, his knowledge
of secret missions, plus Capgras
Syndrome could result
in extreme paranoia;
it's the perfect storm.
PRENTlSS: Is there a cure
for this?
RElD:
Unfortunately, no.
Although medications have helped
in a few cases.
So this guy's stuck with it.
He's not killing
for the thrill of it.
He does it because he believes
he has no other choice.
He murdered his best friend
and his parents
because he believed they
were imposters.
So if he were to see his wife
and daughter,
the results would be deadly.
Dolan kidnapped the general
and didn't kill his wife
because he had
never met them before.
Well, there might be
another reason.
He wants contact.
I don't know what you think
you're gonna gain
by your actions,
but I do know this:
You swore an oath to defend
this country
and behave with moral
rectitude.
Were you thinking of morals
when you gave the go-ahead
on Dorado Falls?
I told you that wasn't me.
You're a liar.
This country's at war,
and Dorado Falls is nothing
but a speck on the radar.
No one even remembers.
I remember.
What are you gonna do with me?
Trade you for my wife and child.
And if that doesn't work?
I'll kill you.
You're not a Navy SEAL.
You're a disgrace!
How close are you
to getting Dolan?
Our primary goal right now
is the safe recovery
of the general.
This is highly-classified
information, Agent Jareau.
Can't the B.A.U. do this
on their own?
We could, but your help
would speed things up.
You're smart enough
to see the upside, I'm sure.
You help and it goes well,
you get your ticket punched.
You don't and it goes
south, well...
weather's not too bad
outside the Beltway.
It's all in there.
You know why Dolan's so worried
about this mission?
I have no idea.
Were there complications?
Every mission has complications.
But there's no blowback
on this one.
I can assure you of that.
Okay.
It just...
I can't understand why Luke
would do all these awful things.
What's happening to him?
We think his car accident
triggered a delusional disorder.
Oh, my God.
We need to know
who Luke was closest to.
His father.
(classical music playing)
(phone ringing)
Hello.
Is this Lieutenant Luke Dolan?
DOLAN:
Who is this?
Sgt. Major David Rossi, United
States Marine Corps, retired.
Who told you to call me?
I volunteered to call you.
I knew your dad, Mark.
We were in boot camp together at
Parris lsland.
He's a good man.
Still triangulating a location.
Hold on.
-Hold on.
-ROSSl: Now, we can talk,
but first, I need to know that
General Milgram is safe.
? ?
He's alive,
if that's what you mean.
What's up with the music?
I have no idea.
Why did you kidnap the general?
For leverage
to get my family back.
Do you think we're holding them?
I saw you take
my wife and child.
What have you got, Garcia?
GARClA:
Getting closer.
We're in the
warehouse district.
Stand by. Please stand by.
Got it. 3352 Spring Street.
(whispering):
Let's go.
ROSSl:
Release the general,
and then we can talk about
your family.
He's innocent.
Is that what you think?
Luke, do you think
your father would approve
of what you're doing?
I just want my family back!
Besides, I didn't start this.
Start what?
Dorado Falls.
Well, why don't you tell us
your side of the story?
You first.
All right.
"Dorado Falls was the name of a
boat off the coast of Capetown.
"lt was owned
by a South African diplomat
who was selling
nuclear secrets to lran..."
So what's the big secret?
-There isn't one. Don't get me
wrong. -(Rossi reading)
Lives were lost, but there's
been far worse missions.
His mind chose Dorado Falls to
build a conspiracy around.
This can't be it.
Garcia, it's an empty lot with a
cell phone repeater.
Give me a rundown
of the buildings in the area
and the years
that they were built.
GARClA: All over it like cat
hair on a sofa.
BTW, I can usually locate a cell
phone within three meters,
but sometimes there are
circumstances beyond my control
Iike physical barriers
blocking a signal,
not being in the satellites'
direct line of sight, which
bounces the signal
to a repeater.
Garcia, tell me
you've got something.
Oh, sorry, yes.
I have something.
There is a hotel built in '74
that is scheduled for a demo,
and there is a warehouse
scheduled for loft conversion
that was built in 1928.
All right. Walls were thicker
in the '20s.
What's the address
of the building?
More GPS signal interference.
Exact address is...
291 Hope Street.
291 Hope.
"lntel failed to identify...
two children aboard the boat."
DOLAN:
There was a chance to abort.
But we were given orders
to go ahead.
Someone in the D.I.A.
made that final call.
I never knew it was Milgram
until now.
ROSSl : Sometimes collateral
damage can 't be avoided.
DOLAN : You know, people that sit
in offices always think that.
This is Red Echo.
We have unwanted targets.
Permission to abort?
MlSSlON COMMAND: Negative, Red
Echo. The operation is a go.
I repeat,
the operation is a go.
(two gunshots)
ROSSl: You had to shoot those
kids, didn't you?
They saw us. They would have
blown the mission.
They were witnesses, just like
everyone at Synalock.
DOLAN:
Someone wants revenge.
We've always known that our own
government might disavow us.
They tried to buy Adam
with the Navy Cross,
but it didn't work so they've
replaced him with an imposter.
And now they're taking
my family, one by one.
Listen, Jenna and Ally are safe.
You expect me to believe that?
DOLAN: I know they're
coming after me.
ROSSl:
I'll make you an offer.
You let Milgram go,
and I'll take his place.
DOLAN: I don't want you.
I want my family.
ROSSl: The people who have them
will not negotiate
unless Milgram is freed.
But you need insurance.
I get that.
Let me take his place.
DOLAN:
Why would you do that?
ROSSl: Because I'm not
just a guy behind a desk.
I was a Marine with boots on the
ground, just like you.
I know what
you've been through.
I want you
to get your family back.
All right.
Where's Hotch and Morgan?
The Spring Street address
didn't pan out.
-They're searching
a warehouse right now. -Luke?
I need your exact address.
(metallic thudding)
-(classical music playing
on radio) -Clear.
MAN:
All clear.
We got the general.
He's still alive.
Guys, get him out of here.
Now, where the hell is Dolan?
Yeah. He used the radio to mask
the sound of his movements.
We're on the move.
(beeping)
(beep)
(buzzer sounds)
ROSSl:
This was all part of his plan
-to find out who was holding his
wife and daughter. You never
-said you were FBl. -He saw
the number I called from.
He'd recognize an FBl prefix.
So, what, he's on his way here
to Quantico?
I know the head space he's in.
He feels all alone right now.
There is no risk he won't take.
JJ: As a Navy SEAL,
he did training here. He knows
-this place. -HOTCH: All right,
alert the guard gates
and secure the building.
Entry and exit
through one door only.
An FBl police officer
was just found
shot to death in the academy
parking structure.
He's already here.
(beep)
POWELL: Dolan's photo's already
been sent on all
-internal servers.
-HOTCH: He's probably
changed his appearance already.
POWELL: And he's got
13 floors to hide on.
We should make
a general P.A. announcement.
No. He believes he's on a rescue
mission that he can pull off.
As long as he thinks that,
he'll stay calm.
POWELL:
I've got hundreds
of employees in here,
and you want me to do nothing?
HOTCH:
Nothing overt.
Have your teams quietly search
and seal off each floor.
Garcia, I need you on the
building's operations computer.
Ready and able, sir.
Dolan's got a police radio.
I want all alerts sent through
a secure tactical channel.
JENNA:
I can talk to him.
-He won't hurt me.
We can't take that risk.
You'll be safe in here.
(typing)
I don't see him.
He knows how to be invisible.
(beeping)
I got him. He used
the dead officer's l.D.
to enter the seventh floor.
All right, seal it off.
Nobody in or out.
(typing)
RElD:
Navy SEALS
never start a mission
without an exfiltration plan.
Check the exterior and elevator
shafts for riggings.
Turning exterior cameras... now.
JJ:
A member of his SEAL team
said Dolan's an expert
in explosives-- disabling
and building them.
Also been on the lookout
for explosives.
(phone ringing)
Hello?
DOLAN:
Is this Sergeant Major Rossi?
Yes. I was hoping
you'd call, Luke.
Where are you?
DOLAN:
Right behind you.
ROSSl:
Okay, okay.
Okay, easy, easy.
GARClA:
Oh, my God!
Oh, my God!
All right, Luke,
you don't want
to be aiming that around.
Snipers have
the building covered.
You're in the crosshairs
right now, I can guarantee that.
The windows are bulletproof.
High-density Lexan, right?
I'm the one you want.
You can let my team go.
I'll trade you.
Give me my wife and daughter.
You have three minutes
to decide.
POWELL:
Is he for real?
-He'll blow us all up, himself
included? -Start an evacuation.
Can we evacuate everyone
in three minutes?
Prentiss,
I need his wife in here.
ROSSl:
No one is seeking revenge here.
You've created this conspiracy
in your own mind.
You took my family.
ROSSl:
To protect them from you,
after you murdered
your own parents.
They were imposters.
You have my real parents.
RElD:
Your real parents are dead.
JJ:
Spence...
Do you want to know
what's really going on?
You were in a car accident
three nights ago,
and you suffered a head trauma.
If I don't see Jenna
and Ally now,
we're all gonna die.
JENNA (over P.A.):
Luke?
Can you hear me?
I need you to stop
what you're doing.
We're fine.
Me and Ally are safe.
Luke, you have
to let those people go.
Terms haven't changed.
You don't believe that's her?
I've been through this before.
You have one minute.
ALLY:
Daddy?
Why are you doing this?
Mommy says you don't feel good?
M-Maybe you need to lie down.
(crying):
I'm scared, Daddy.
I just want to go home.
Jenna, can you talk to him
about something personal,
something that only
the two of you would know about?
Do you remember our honeymoon
when you woke me up at night,
and you took me up that mountain
that you'd hiked years before?
We watched the sunrise.
(voice breaking):
And it was magical.
And you said
that as much
as you loved this spot,
you loved me...
even more.
Do you believe it's her now?
Your eyes and your mind
are playing a trick on you.
When you see your family,
you think
that they're imposters,
but it's all caused
by an illness.
JENNA:
You're sick, Luke.
It's not your fault.
I love you, Daddy.
JENNA:
We both do.
MORGAN:
Come on now, Luke.
You don't need that gun.
None of us want to hurt you.
You are a hero to this country.
Please let us help you.
I want to see Jenna.
Then you have to do as I ask.
Put your weapon down
and close your eyes.
(sighs)
Luke, you have
to close your eyes.
Why?
Because you need to know
that your wife is real,
and your eyes will trick you.
JENNA:
Please, Luke.
Close your eyes, or we will
never be together again.
Close your eyes.
JENNA (sighs):
Okay...
They're afraid you
might hurt me,
so they're gonna handcuff you.
And then I'm going to come out,
but you have
to keep your eyes closed.
(Jenna sniffling)
(handcuffs clicking)
I'm right here, baby.
Promise me
you'll keep your eyes closed.
(voice breaking):
It's you.
I love you.
Evertyhing's gonna be okay,
but we have to go
to the hospital now, okay?
JJ:
First,
Jenna's gonna cover up
your eyes.
(Dolan sighs)
-(running footsteps)
-ALLY: Daddy! -(Dolan whimpers)
Daddy, where are you going?
-ROSSl: No! No! JJ, move out!
-No! -(Ally mumbles)
-Go! Go! -No! No!
-Get him out of here!
-No! No!
-Get him out of here!
(sobbing)
ROSSl: "We're born alone,
we live alone,
"we die alone.
"Only through
our love and friendship
"can we create the illusion
for a moment
that we're not alone. "
Orson Welles.
HOTCH :
No, I didn 't
mandate it.
Um, is evertyhing all right?
You okay?
Oh, yeah. I'm-I'm good.
It's all in a day's work, right?
I'll see you in the morning.
Good night.
Hey.
Uh, Hotch didn't order
my takedown recertification.
Do you want to tell me
what's really going on?
I just thought
we both could use a refresher.
You mean you thought
I could use it.
You're nervous
about me being back.
Emily...
Wh... you think I'm gonna
mess up the team's rhythm.
I get it, but just come out
and say it.
Morgan.
Okay, fine. Yes, I am nervous.
But not about you.
About me.
Emily, I thought I lost you,
and I blamed myself.
Now you're back,
but I don't want to be worried
about losing you again
and get distracted.
So...
you wanted some reassurance?
Yeah, something like that.
Morgan, I cannot imagine
what you went through.
It was seven months of hell.
How can I make it up to you?
I-I will do whatever it takes.
Just give me ten hours
of training.
Okay, you got it.
Shooting range on Sundays.
I'm there.
And my morning coffee
and a neck rub every day.
Oh, buddy,
you are really pushing it.
This cream is a miracle.
My fine lines
and sagging skin are gone.
I look like a different person.
(water splashing)
(bang)
(sighs)
Hey, bro,
thanks for the referral.
Painting the Smith house today.
Hey, it's me.
Heads up,
someone's got eyes on us.
I need to come in.
(phones ringing)
RECEPTlONlST:
Synalock, may I help you?
He's on a conference call,
but he should be off
in a few minutes.
-(phone rings)
-Mr. Werner is not
available, can l
have him return?
Thank you.
What?
Did you change your hair?
No.
Not really.
(door opens)
Hey, just give me a sec.
What do I have this morning?
Okay, move London to 12:30,
and reschedule lunch
with Colburn.
So, what's going on?
I don't know.
You tell me.
(gunshots)
(screaming)
It's today?
I can't; I've got a big meeting.
Fine, put her on.
Hi, sweetheart.
I know.
Okay.
Well, Mom's gonna record
the pageant.
I know, I wish
I could be there, too.
Okay, break a leg, honey.
(grunts)
(beeping)
Hey, good morning.
Oh, look at you spoiling me.
Thank you.
Where's yours?
Oh, I quit caffeine.
-Trying to relax more.
Well, don't relax too much.
You got ten hours of takedown
and arrest procedure training
to recertify.
-Since when?
Well, since the hearing.
Am I the only one?
Prentiss, you've been away.
Oh, yeah, I guess
I can't complain.
Well, especially not
to your trainer.
-Oh, you're doing it?
-Don't get too excited.
I'm about to put you
through the wringer.
You can believe that.
Workplace massacre this morning
at Synalock lncorporated.
That's in Charlottesville,
which is practically
our own backyard.
That's a high body count.
GARClA:
Yeah, eight victims in total.
All employees,
including the CEO.
Five were shot,
three were stabbed to death.
A gun and a knife--
that's highly unusual.
Could be two killers.
That would be the first time
for a workplace killing.
Their business
is lnternet security
for corporations.
They didn't have
video surveillance?
They just moved
into a new building.
They didn't have time
to set up their system yet.
How is it no one heard
or saw anything?
This killer was prepared,
highly organized.
This was premeditated.
Kept his emotions contained.
Pretty hard to do for the
typical workplace killer
who's mentally ill or outraged
about some perceived injustice.
The high body count indicates
a hell of a lot of rage.
One employee,
John Owen, was MlA.
Local PD haven't been able
to locate him yet.
Any unhappy clients?
Or a domestic situation
among the employees?
Don't know, but your friendly
neighborhood genius girl
will find out.
Well, bottom line is
a mass killing
is a flashy show of force.
It's a way to become known.
Which is why suicide,
often by cop,
is usually part of the plan.
So, where's the UnSub?
ROSSl: He has a reason
to stay hidden.
HOTCH:
He's not finished yet.
RElD: "Men are not
prisoners of fate,
"but prisoners
of their own minds. "
Franklin D. Roosevelt.
Agent Hotchner,
I'm Trooper Long
from the Bureau
of Crime lnvestigation.
Appreciate you coming
so quickly.
Absolutely; these are
Agents Rossi and Jareau,
and Dr. Reid.
So, a FedEx courier
called it in?
At 8:03 on his early route.
No one expects to go to work
and never come home,
but today at Synalock,
a new company providing
lnternet security...
After the news broke,
half the town called in sick.
-Understandable.
-The media's in a frenzy.
A press briefing with you guys
would calm them down.
Of course, as soon
as we make our assessment.
So, what do we know about
the missing employee so far?
Apparently, he's a programmer.
We have an unconfirmed report
of a neighbor seeing his car
near his home this morning.
You said the CEO's office
was ransacked?
Yes, Adam Werner's office.
JJ.
This is the first victim
we found-- Nathan Munz.
Position of the body suggests
he was one of
the last ones killed.
He tried to escape
and almost made it to the exit.
Jane Burney
and Vinia Dev were here.
Jane tried to run;
Vinia didn't.
How do you know?
She's half under her desk,
which means she tried to hide,
and the UnSub found her.
So these three were stabbed,
and the rest were shot to death.
Have you considered two killers?
Yes, but the bloody footprints
all seem to come
from the same pair of shoes.
Given the violence,
if there were a second killer,
he'd be hard-pressed to get away
without leaving tracks.
If there's only one UnSub,
he used his gun first,
emptied his magazine,
didn't have a replacement,
and resorted to using his knife.
He'd have to be physically fit
or at least intimidating enough
to subdue so many people.
Well, if this were
highly premeditated,
he would have brought enough
ammunition to kill everyone.
Unless he had a single target.
He killed the rest of them
because they were witnesses.
We need to figure out
who his first victim was.
These are contracts
Synalock had.
What was the UnSub looking for?
Maybe he was a client searching
for his own contract
to hide any connection
to Synalock after the murders.
Yeah, evertyhing's digital
these days, though.
A hard copy's just a back-up.
So, the UnSub's looking
for an object, an old record,
something not on a computer.
(chuckles)
Rossi, check this out.
So, uh, Werner was worried
enough about his safety
-to be armed.
-And he didn't have
time to go for his gun
or didn't perceive
the threat to be immediate.
Or...
keeping a gun around was out
of force of habit.
Well, he was a veteran.
-A naval officer,
by the looks of it.
A decorated one, at that.
He was awarded
the Navy Cross in 2000.
Something else used to be here.
Another picture frame.
Blood spatter overlay patterns
indicate victim number three
was over here,
victim number two right here,
and finally,
victim number one right here.
Adam Werner was killed first?
-Looks that way.
Which means the UnSub
made it all the way in here
without alarming anyone.
ROSSl:
He wasn't threatening.
That's why Werner
didn't pull the gun
we found in his office.
It could have been
the missing employee.
He may have taken that photo
from his office if he was in it.
Why would an employee
be interested
in Synalock's contracts?
Maybe this is about one client.
He could be after
specific company information.
He had another motive
besides killing.
(phone line ringing)
(phone rings)
Hello?
-Hey, Dad, it's me.
-Hey, Luke.
Your mother and l
were just talking about you.
Dad, listen to me.
Has anyone called you?
Asked you any questions?
About what?
About me.
No.
What's this about?
There's a situation.
What sort of situation?
I'll tell you about it
when I see you.
In the meantime, don't answer
your phone or your door, okay?
Why?
I'm on my way there now.
(beep, dialing)
RECORDlNG:
You've reached Jenna.
-Please leave a message.
-(beep)
Hey, it's Luke.
Uh, look, I know you don't want
to hear from me,
but something's come up,
and I need to know
that you and Ally
are safe, okay?
Call me, bye.
(beep)
It was clean and fast.
A slice through the left carotid
and abdominal aorta.
Major arteries
that would bleed out quickly.
Killed with an economy
of motion?
Yes, and all three stab victims
had similar wounds.
What about the shooting victims?
They all took two.45s
to the chest,
except for Adam Werner.
He took four body shots
and one to the head.
Execution style.
PRENTlSS:
Definite overkill.
Somebody was angry
with the boss.
Somebody with hunting skills.
Or a law enforcement background.
Thank you.
Mom? Dad?
DAD:
Hey, Luke. There you are.
Your mother's upstairs.
She was worried
that something happened.
It's good to see you, buddy.
Dad?
What have you done to my father?
What are you talking about?
I'm right here.
(chuckling):
I'm right here.
What's wrong?
Is this about the mission?
What mission?
What's wrong with you?
(gasps)
What have
you done to my father?
(gasps)
MORGAN:
Talk to me, little genie.
GARClA: Well, since you know
how to rub my lamp,
your wish is my command.
I checked
the Synalock client list,
and the Defense
lntelligence Agency is new
to them, so there really
isn't anything to report,
and everyone else is crazy happy
with their service.
-No complaints logged online?
-Zero.
I'm talking
every high-tech blog,
every chat room--
glowing accolades.
No one had anything contrary
to say about Synalock.
Any employees have a history
of domestic disturbances
or stalkers?
Not that I would
violate privacy laws
to check, she says,
but the answer is no.
-So Synalock is clean.
-Mm-hmm.
As a whistle.
Which reminds me.
You know how to whistle,
don'tcha?
You just... put your lips
together and blow.
I love it when you talk
old movies.
Later, baby girl.
With all the overkill on Werner,
there's got to be
a personal connection.
LONG:
We've located John Owen,
the missing employee-- he's
been at a Dr. Who convention
in San Diego since Saturday.
It was a scheduled vacation.
-Lucky guy.
-RElD: I'll say.
That's supposed to be
an awesome convention.
So if it wasn't someone
connected to the workplace,
who is it?
You know, given
the precision of the kills,
it could be someone
with a military background.
LONG:
Or a professional
hired by a business competitor.
A hit man would
just kill Werner.
Killing the entire office
seems... unprofessional.
HOTCH:
Werner was a Navy veteran.
He had D.I.A. contracts;
he had close ties
-to the military.
-Could be someone
from his past
harboring an old grudge.
HOTCH: Trooper, issue a Be-On-
the-Lookout to law enforcement
for a physically fit male
in his 30's to 40's,
possibly a veteran.
ROSSl: He appears nonthreatening
and blends in easily.
He's armed
and extremely dangerous.
He most likely will kill again,
either himself or others,
very soon.
(hard rock music blaring)
(mutes volume)
(muffled gasp)
What do you know
about Dorado Falls?
Nothing.
Is this because of Jenna?
What did you do to Jenna?!
Luke, please, stop this,
I'm begging you.
Your mother, her heart is weak.
Whatever is wrong,
we'll help you.
This is your last chance.
You tell me where
Mark and Mary Dolan are.
(sobbing):
I'm Mark Dolan! I'm your father!
For the love of God,
please...
Luke... we're your parents.
(gasping):
Luke...
Luke, please!
For the love of God, please.
Please, Luke.
I'm Mark Dolan!
I'm your father! (gasps)
(hard rock song blaring)
ROSSl: Are we sure
the UnSub is their son?
Luke Dolan called Synalock
early this morning.
Garcia confirmed it.
Know many, uh, 60-year-olds
with a boom box?
(hard rock music blaring)
(clicks off boom box)
He trying to mask the sound
of the gunshot?
Could be, or he was torturing
them with sound.
Why were they bound
and gagged in the closet?
Why not just
kill them right away?
Maybe he was trying to get
information from them.
-About what?
-(phone rings)
Go ahead, Garcia--
you're on speaker.
Okay, Luke Dolan was
in the same Navy unit
as our CEO Adam Werner.
That would be the 212th.
They were both
communication clerks
at Camp Patriot in Kuwait.
I'm sending all this information
to your e-mails now.
-Any other family?
-He has a wife, Jenna.
They've been separated for
years-- she lives in Bethesda
with her
eight-year-old daughter.
We need to bring her in
for protective custody
and to interview her.
Send local PD
and have our
nearest unit meet them.
Done and done.
Okay, looks like
he served 13 years;
honorable discharge in 2005.
Now a VP of a biotech company.
He was never
a Synalock employee.
So what happened to this guy?
Well, he separated
from his wife about a year ago,
but that's a bit far back
to be a trigger.
(sighs):
Well... he's unstable.
He's on a rampage of some kind.
What if, mentally, he was
reliving a combat situation?
Could be post-traumatic stress.
Everybody could look
like an enemy.
Prentiss, this was
a close-knit family.
Look at them--
they couldn't have been
more proud of their son.
How bad would
his disorder have to be
to make him kill
his own parents?
RElD: Post-traumatic stress
disorder rarely turns people
into killers, but soldiers
with PTSD have been known
to strangle their wives in bed
while having flashbacks
or nightmares
believing they're
on the battlefield.
In 2005, an lraqi war vet
assaulted two people
in Las Vegas
believing them to be
enemy combatants.
So Dolan's having
a sustained flashback?
Pathological disassociation--
one of the markers
of complex PTSD.
Although Dolan has been
stateside for six years.
An escalation of the symptoms
is possible,
but it'd be rare for them
to appear out of nowhere.
Well, he seems to have made
a successful transition
to civilian life.
Well, at least on paper it does.
We should find out if
he's had any symptoms
since he left the Navy.
It could've been the catalyst
for the separation.
I'll have Garcia
check his records.
RElD: Hotch, Dolan's
been going through this.
Look-- old mementos and journals
from his days in the service.
He didn't come here
just to kill his parents.
He came to get something.
He's on some sort of mission.
The car's washed,
spotless inside.
No paint separation or rust.
This accident was recent.
I agree.
The Navy's in his blood.
He would never
Iet that go without
getting it fixed immediately.
It might have triggered
his condition.
I'll have Garcia run the plates,
check for any recent accidents.
So, Dolan left the sedan and
didn't take the parents' car.
He was smart enough to know
it'd be tracked.
He's either on foot,
or he's stolen another vehicle.
If he's capable of doing this,
he's rational
and clear-thinking enough
to evade his perceived enemies.
So despite any mental
incapacity,
he's still performing
at a high level.
Just got word the local PD's at
the wife and daughter's house.
Dolan's unpredictable
when he's on a rampage.
We need to go wide; we need to
get the profile to the press.
Luke Dolan is a Navy veteran
we believe is suffering
from PTSD.
A recent trauma
may have triggered this.
He's experiencing
pathological disassociation
and may believe
he's in a combat situation.
What this means is, to him,
everyone is a potential enemy.
Do not underestimate him.
Despite his mental state,
he has extreme survival skills.
Right now we believe he's within
a 250-mile radius of Roanoke.
He is armed
and extremely dangerous.
It is important that
you do not approach this man.
He believes that
he is on a mission,
and if threatened,
he will kill.
So if you see him, stay away
and notify the authorities.
(engine starts)
-Sir.
-DlSPATCHER: All units,
-suspect is a Navy veteran...
-Sir, excuse me.
Sir, I need you
to stop right there.
DlSPATCHER:
14, what's your status?
OFFlCER: This is 14,
shutting down Linley Road now.
-Copy, 14.
-Sorry, this road's closed.
You'll have to turn around.
What's going on, Officer?
-Official police matter, sir.
ROSSl: One thing
that's been bothering me is,
the first victim, Adam Werner,
was given
the Navy Cross in 2000.
We weren't at war.
Exactly.
You have to show
extreme sacrifice,
risk life and limb to win the
second-highest Medal of Valor.
So what did he do during
peacetime to deserve it?
So, Garcia discovered
part of Dolan's military records
were encrypted.
I just got the complete file
from the Pentagon.
He wasn't a clerk;
he was a Navy SEAL.
ROSSl:
Wait, let me guess.
-Adam Werner was, too.
Yeah, Werner was
the SEAL team leader;
Dolan was his number two.
Their unit was part of JSOC.
They were involved in over
20 highly-classified missions.
Which missions were in 2000?
Uh... only one.
Operation Dorado Falls.
-See what you can find out
about it. Will do.
-That changes the profile.
-Definitely.
How so?
Navy SEALs are screened
carefully for vulnerability
to PTSD;
they're resistant to it.
Okay, so why would
a trained Navy SEAL
kill his commanding officer
-and his own parents?
-HOTCH: I don't know, but it's
gonna be a lot harder
to find him.
Very few people on this planet
are capable of stopping him.
Luke Dolan just evaded a
roadblock near his wife's house.
They searched the surrounding
area-- there's no sign of him.
Did you notice any recent
changes in Luke's behavior?
I saw him Friday afternoon
when he dropped Ally off.
He was fine.
Did he ever mention
Dorado Falls?
No. What is that?
A mission he was on.
He didn't share
that part of his life with me.
Luke was always very good
at compartmentalizing.
Is that why you two separated?
JENNA: He's a good man
and a wonderful father,
but I always felt he was
more married
to the Navy than me.
You weren't a priority to him?
Somebody once told me
all Navy SEALs had a bolt hole--
a secret location
outside the country
where they had another identity
and bank account set up.
And I asked Luke about it once,
and he didn't deny it.
Fact of the matter is, he was
ready to leave in an instant.
He had an exit strategy?
Yeah.
That didn't include us.
Is Daddy gonna be okay?
Honey, come here.
Okay, so it turns out
6:20 Friday night,
Dolan got in a car accident
-in Bethesda.
-That must have been after he
-dropped off his daughter.
-He suffered minor injuries.
-He refused medical treatment.
Well, his wife said
he was fine when he left her.
What was his mental state
after the accident?
Uh, normal. Field sobriety test
came up negative.
MORGAN:
That wouldn't rule out drug use.
RElD:
I'd consider schizophrenia,
except he's the wrong age
for the first psychotic break.
Could be an aneurysm
or a brain tumor.
Well, one thing's for sure, he's
having a mental breakdown.
But what are the
specific features of it?
He's not living in
a past time and place.
He's living in the present
with the capacity
and intelligence
to evade law enforcement.
(gunfire over TV)
Honey, grab me a soda, will ya?
Honey, the movie's starting.
You're missing Robert Mitchum.
If you want her to live,
tell me where my family is.
He took my husband!
Boyd was bleeding,
and he dragged him out.
-Mrs. Milgram... -ls someone
from the Army helping?
Ma'am, listen to me.
The FBl is in charge of
looking for your husband.
But I need you
to try to remember
-what Luke Dolan said.
-I can't.
-lt was gibberish.
Yes, you can.
-Just close your eyes and...
-I don't... can't.
Ma'am, I believe that you can.
Just listen to the sound
of my voice, and you'll be fine.
Just try.
-Close your eyes.
-Oh...
There you go.
Just relax and breathe.
Very good.
Now, what were you doing before
he broke into your house?
MRS. MlLGRAM:
I was in the kitchen.
I was pouring a drink
for my husband.
He takes me to the living room
and ties me up.
MORGAN:
What does he say?
Where are my real parents?
MRS. MlLGRAM: He asks where
his real parents are.
How the hell should I know?
I don't even know you.
Don't play dumb.
You replaced them.
Does he think your husband did
something to them?
He says, "You replaced them."
-The replacements are dead.
-"The replacements are dead. "
Does he mention Dorado Falls?
MRS. MlLGRAM:
Yes...
This is about
Dorado Falls, isn't it?
...and gaslighting.
MR. MlLGRAM:
Dorado Falls?
You're gaslighting me
'cause of the mission.
MR. MlLGRAM: The mission?
Who was your commanding officer?
You won't get away with this.
Where are you keeping
Jenna and Ally?
(grunts)
Where's my family?
He was calm, until he asked
about his family.
Then he hits Boyd with a gun.
All of the Milgrams' cars are
still here, so he must
have taken the general in
whatever vehicle he came in.
You know, he talked about
gaslighting.
He thinks someone's trying to
purposely distort his reality.
He said his parents
had been replaced.
He just sounds delusional.
You know, he might have
Capgras Syndrome.
It's a delusional disorder in
which one believes that their
friends and loved ones have been
replaced by imposters.
Sorta like lnvasion
of the Body Snatchers.
It typically involves
only one sense, such as sight.
Basically, the neural connection
between the visual cortex
and the emotional center
of the brain become severed
so that looking at a loved one
doesn't elicit
the same emotional response
one would expect.
So you think that
they're an imposter.
And the interesting thing is
that the auditory connection
remains intact so that if they
were to hear a loved one speak
and not see them, they'd think
that they were real.
What causes this syndrome?
It's unknown in
60% of the cases,
but the rest have
an organic cause,
such as tumor or head trauma.
He was in a car accident Friday.
People with delusional disorders
don't all become killers though.
True. But Dolan's background as
a Navy SEAL, his knowledge
of secret missions, plus Capgras
Syndrome could result
in extreme paranoia;
it's the perfect storm.
PRENTlSS: Is there a cure
for this?
RElD:
Unfortunately, no.
Although medications have helped
in a few cases.
So this guy's stuck with it.
He's not killing
for the thrill of it.
He does it because he believes
he has no other choice.
He murdered his best friend
and his parents
because he believed they
were imposters.
So if he were to see his wife
and daughter,
the results would be deadly.
Dolan kidnapped the general
and didn't kill his wife
because he had
never met them before.
Well, there might be
another reason.
He wants contact.
I don't know what you think
you're gonna gain
by your actions,
but I do know this:
You swore an oath to defend
this country
and behave with moral
rectitude.
Were you thinking of morals
when you gave the go-ahead
on Dorado Falls?
I told you that wasn't me.
You're a liar.
This country's at war,
and Dorado Falls is nothing
but a speck on the radar.
No one even remembers.
I remember.
What are you gonna do with me?
Trade you for my wife and child.
And if that doesn't work?
I'll kill you.
You're not a Navy SEAL.
You're a disgrace!
How close are you
to getting Dolan?
Our primary goal right now
is the safe recovery
of the general.
This is highly-classified
information, Agent Jareau.
Can't the B.A.U. do this
on their own?
We could, but your help
would speed things up.
You're smart enough
to see the upside, I'm sure.
You help and it goes well,
you get your ticket punched.
You don't and it goes
south, well...
weather's not too bad
outside the Beltway.
It's all in there.
You know why Dolan's so worried
about this mission?
I have no idea.
Were there complications?
Every mission has complications.
But there's no blowback
on this one.
I can assure you of that.
Okay.
It just...
I can't understand why Luke
would do all these awful things.
What's happening to him?
We think his car accident
triggered a delusional disorder.
Oh, my God.
We need to know
who Luke was closest to.
His father.
(classical music playing)
(phone ringing)
Hello.
Is this Lieutenant Luke Dolan?
DOLAN:
Who is this?
Sgt. Major David Rossi, United
States Marine Corps, retired.
Who told you to call me?
I volunteered to call you.
I knew your dad, Mark.
We were in boot camp together at
Parris lsland.
He's a good man.
Still triangulating a location.
Hold on.
-Hold on.
-ROSSl: Now, we can talk,
but first, I need to know that
General Milgram is safe.
? ?
He's alive,
if that's what you mean.
What's up with the music?
I have no idea.
Why did you kidnap the general?
For leverage
to get my family back.
Do you think we're holding them?
I saw you take
my wife and child.
What have you got, Garcia?
GARClA:
Getting closer.
We're in the
warehouse district.
Stand by. Please stand by.
Got it. 3352 Spring Street.
(whispering):
Let's go.
ROSSl:
Release the general,
and then we can talk about
your family.
He's innocent.
Is that what you think?
Luke, do you think
your father would approve
of what you're doing?
I just want my family back!
Besides, I didn't start this.
Start what?
Dorado Falls.
Well, why don't you tell us
your side of the story?
You first.
All right.
"Dorado Falls was the name of a
boat off the coast of Capetown.
"lt was owned
by a South African diplomat
who was selling
nuclear secrets to lran..."
So what's the big secret?
-There isn't one. Don't get me
wrong. -(Rossi reading)
Lives were lost, but there's
been far worse missions.
His mind chose Dorado Falls to
build a conspiracy around.
This can't be it.
Garcia, it's an empty lot with a
cell phone repeater.
Give me a rundown
of the buildings in the area
and the years
that they were built.
GARClA: All over it like cat
hair on a sofa.
BTW, I can usually locate a cell
phone within three meters,
but sometimes there are
circumstances beyond my control
Iike physical barriers
blocking a signal,
not being in the satellites'
direct line of sight, which
bounces the signal
to a repeater.
Garcia, tell me
you've got something.
Oh, sorry, yes.
I have something.
There is a hotel built in '74
that is scheduled for a demo,
and there is a warehouse
scheduled for loft conversion
that was built in 1928.
All right. Walls were thicker
in the '20s.
What's the address
of the building?
More GPS signal interference.
Exact address is...
291 Hope Street.
291 Hope.
"lntel failed to identify...
two children aboard the boat."
DOLAN:
There was a chance to abort.
But we were given orders
to go ahead.
Someone in the D.I.A.
made that final call.
I never knew it was Milgram
until now.
ROSSl : Sometimes collateral
damage can 't be avoided.
DOLAN : You know, people that sit
in offices always think that.
This is Red Echo.
We have unwanted targets.
Permission to abort?
MlSSlON COMMAND: Negative, Red
Echo. The operation is a go.
I repeat,
the operation is a go.
(two gunshots)
ROSSl: You had to shoot those
kids, didn't you?
They saw us. They would have
blown the mission.
They were witnesses, just like
everyone at Synalock.
DOLAN:
Someone wants revenge.
We've always known that our own
government might disavow us.
They tried to buy Adam
with the Navy Cross,
but it didn't work so they've
replaced him with an imposter.
And now they're taking
my family, one by one.
Listen, Jenna and Ally are safe.
You expect me to believe that?
DOLAN: I know they're
coming after me.
ROSSl:
I'll make you an offer.
You let Milgram go,
and I'll take his place.
DOLAN: I don't want you.
I want my family.
ROSSl: The people who have them
will not negotiate
unless Milgram is freed.
But you need insurance.
I get that.
Let me take his place.
DOLAN:
Why would you do that?
ROSSl: Because I'm not
just a guy behind a desk.
I was a Marine with boots on the
ground, just like you.
I know what
you've been through.
I want you
to get your family back.
All right.
Where's Hotch and Morgan?
The Spring Street address
didn't pan out.
-They're searching
a warehouse right now. -Luke?
I need your exact address.
(metallic thudding)
-(classical music playing
on radio) -Clear.
MAN:
All clear.
We got the general.
He's still alive.
Guys, get him out of here.
Now, where the hell is Dolan?
Yeah. He used the radio to mask
the sound of his movements.
We're on the move.
(beeping)
(beep)
(buzzer sounds)
ROSSl:
This was all part of his plan
-to find out who was holding his
wife and daughter. You never
-said you were FBl. -He saw
the number I called from.
He'd recognize an FBl prefix.
So, what, he's on his way here
to Quantico?
I know the head space he's in.
He feels all alone right now.
There is no risk he won't take.
JJ: As a Navy SEAL,
he did training here. He knows
-this place. -HOTCH: All right,
alert the guard gates
and secure the building.
Entry and exit
through one door only.
An FBl police officer
was just found
shot to death in the academy
parking structure.
He's already here.
(beep)
POWELL: Dolan's photo's already
been sent on all
-internal servers.
-HOTCH: He's probably
changed his appearance already.
POWELL: And he's got
13 floors to hide on.
We should make
a general P.A. announcement.
No. He believes he's on a rescue
mission that he can pull off.
As long as he thinks that,
he'll stay calm.
POWELL:
I've got hundreds
of employees in here,
and you want me to do nothing?
HOTCH:
Nothing overt.
Have your teams quietly search
and seal off each floor.
Garcia, I need you on the
building's operations computer.
Ready and able, sir.
Dolan's got a police radio.
I want all alerts sent through
a secure tactical channel.
JENNA:
I can talk to him.
-He won't hurt me.
We can't take that risk.
You'll be safe in here.
(typing)
I don't see him.
He knows how to be invisible.
(beeping)
I got him. He used
the dead officer's l.D.
to enter the seventh floor.
All right, seal it off.
Nobody in or out.
(typing)
RElD:
Navy SEALS
never start a mission
without an exfiltration plan.
Check the exterior and elevator
shafts for riggings.
Turning exterior cameras... now.
JJ:
A member of his SEAL team
said Dolan's an expert
in explosives-- disabling
and building them.
Also been on the lookout
for explosives.
(phone ringing)
Hello?
DOLAN:
Is this Sergeant Major Rossi?
Yes. I was hoping
you'd call, Luke.
Where are you?
DOLAN:
Right behind you.
ROSSl:
Okay, okay.
Okay, easy, easy.
GARClA:
Oh, my God!
Oh, my God!
All right, Luke,
you don't want
to be aiming that around.
Snipers have
the building covered.
You're in the crosshairs
right now, I can guarantee that.
The windows are bulletproof.
High-density Lexan, right?
I'm the one you want.
You can let my team go.
I'll trade you.
Give me my wife and daughter.
You have three minutes
to decide.
POWELL:
Is he for real?
-He'll blow us all up, himself
included? -Start an evacuation.
Can we evacuate everyone
in three minutes?
Prentiss,
I need his wife in here.
ROSSl:
No one is seeking revenge here.
You've created this conspiracy
in your own mind.
You took my family.
ROSSl:
To protect them from you,
after you murdered
your own parents.
They were imposters.
You have my real parents.
RElD:
Your real parents are dead.
JJ:
Spence...
Do you want to know
what's really going on?
You were in a car accident
three nights ago,
and you suffered a head trauma.
If I don't see Jenna
and Ally now,
we're all gonna die.
JENNA (over P.A.):
Luke?
Can you hear me?
I need you to stop
what you're doing.
We're fine.
Me and Ally are safe.
Luke, you have
to let those people go.
Terms haven't changed.
You don't believe that's her?
I've been through this before.
You have one minute.
ALLY:
Daddy?
Why are you doing this?
Mommy says you don't feel good?
M-Maybe you need to lie down.
(crying):
I'm scared, Daddy.
I just want to go home.
Jenna, can you talk to him
about something personal,
something that only
the two of you would know about?
Do you remember our honeymoon
when you woke me up at night,
and you took me up that mountain
that you'd hiked years before?
We watched the sunrise.
(voice breaking):
And it was magical.
And you said
that as much
as you loved this spot,
you loved me...
even more.
Do you believe it's her now?
Your eyes and your mind
are playing a trick on you.
When you see your family,
you think
that they're imposters,
but it's all caused
by an illness.
JENNA:
You're sick, Luke.
It's not your fault.
I love you, Daddy.
JENNA:
We both do.
MORGAN:
Come on now, Luke.
You don't need that gun.
None of us want to hurt you.
You are a hero to this country.
Please let us help you.
I want to see Jenna.
Then you have to do as I ask.
Put your weapon down
and close your eyes.
(sighs)
Luke, you have
to close your eyes.
Why?
Because you need to know
that your wife is real,
and your eyes will trick you.
JENNA:
Please, Luke.
Close your eyes, or we will
never be together again.
Close your eyes.
JENNA (sighs):
Okay...
They're afraid you
might hurt me,
so they're gonna handcuff you.
And then I'm going to come out,
but you have
to keep your eyes closed.
(Jenna sniffling)
(handcuffs clicking)
I'm right here, baby.
Promise me
you'll keep your eyes closed.
(voice breaking):
It's you.
I love you.
Evertyhing's gonna be okay,
but we have to go
to the hospital now, okay?
JJ:
First,
Jenna's gonna cover up
your eyes.
(Dolan sighs)
-(running footsteps)
-ALLY: Daddy! -(Dolan whimpers)
Daddy, where are you going?
-ROSSl: No! No! JJ, move out!
-No! -(Ally mumbles)
-Go! Go! -No! No!
-Get him out of here!
-No! No!
-Get him out of here!
(sobbing)
ROSSl: "We're born alone,
we live alone,
"we die alone.
"Only through
our love and friendship
"can we create the illusion
for a moment
that we're not alone. "
Orson Welles.
HOTCH :
No, I didn 't
mandate it.
Um, is evertyhing all right?
You okay?
Oh, yeah. I'm-I'm good.
It's all in a day's work, right?
I'll see you in the morning.
Good night.
Hey.
Uh, Hotch didn't order
my takedown recertification.
Do you want to tell me
what's really going on?
I just thought
we both could use a refresher.
You mean you thought
I could use it.
You're nervous
about me being back.
Emily...
Wh... you think I'm gonna
mess up the team's rhythm.
I get it, but just come out
and say it.
Morgan.
Okay, fine. Yes, I am nervous.
But not about you.
About me.
Emily, I thought I lost you,
and I blamed myself.
Now you're back,
but I don't want to be worried
about losing you again
and get distracted.
So...
you wanted some reassurance?
Yeah, something like that.
Morgan, I cannot imagine
what you went through.
It was seven months of hell.
How can I make it up to you?
I-I will do whatever it takes.
Just give me ten hours
of training.
Okay, you got it.
Shooting range on Sundays.
I'm there.
And my morning coffee
and a neck rub every day.
Oh, buddy,
you are really pushing it.
