Criminal Minds (2005–…): Season 8, Episode 23 - Brothers Hotchner - full transcript

Hotch receives a telephone call from his estranged New York based brother Sean, who he has not heard from in four years and coincidentally while Hotch and Jack are in New York visiting Beth...

Hotch: Previously, on
Criminal Minds...

Yesterday while
we were in Florida,

a body was found
in the desert

outside Las Cruces,
New Mexico.

Rossi: A man
had his leg amputated

and replaced with
the leg of someone else.

Morgan: Someone's out there
mimicking the crimes we've solved.

This is now an active case,
which we'll be investigating

along with our other cases.

Hello, I'm still here.

[Electronically altered voice]
Zug... Zwang.



It's a chess term.
It describes the point in the game

when a player realizes
he'll inevitably be checkmated.

Both the Director
and the Attorney-General

want to take you
off this case.

We know this case
better than anyone.

Guess what just came
to the reception desk

for an Agent Jennifer Jareau.

- Zugzwang.
- Who sent it?

They knew you would be
at that phone booth.

What if this
is the Replicator?

The original zugzwang taunt
was directed at me.

If it's directed at one of us,
it's directed at all of us.

First he was chasing us,

and now it's our turn
to chase him.



Strauss: This psychopath's message
is clearly personal.

You're victims now.

I had a meeting
with the Director.

You have no fresh leads.

He wants the Replicator
classified inactive.

Erin, he's stalking
this team.

No one's going
to give it up.

I know that.

And neither will I.

[Laughter]

♪ Don't need
no reason why... ♪

Hey, Hotch,
I need an override.

Hotch!

I told you not
to call me that.

I need an override.

I can't help you.
Thane's got the card.

You know where he is?

I'll give you one guess.

[Heavy breathing]

You're too hot.

Oh, God.

Mmm...

I'm thirsty.

[Chuckles] I think
you've had enough.

Is it hot in here?

Oh, yeah, it is.

You're too hot.

Who's that?

Shh.

Thane?

What do you want, Hotchner?

I need the override card.

Yeah, I get that.
I'm a little busy.

It's a 5g tab.
We don't want 'em to walk.

Uh, just...

Thought I told you
not to bug me.

I'm not the only one
with a card.

Jim's in a meeting.

What meeting?

I don't know.
A meeting.

You got the card
or what?

I need some water.

Yeah, yeah, just a second.

Bloody hell!

I don't feel so good.

[Coughing]

Sean! Sean, get in here!

What the hell did this?

Call 911!

She's not breathing.

What the hell are you doing?
Call for help!

Beth, laughing:
I do not.

Hotch: Ok, you don't.

Do I, really?

Well, just a little.
And I'm used to it,

'cause Jack can babble
all night long in his sleep.

Usually he's talking about
superheroes, though.

What do I talk about?

Mm, you don't want to know.

Aaron!

Shh. He just got to sleep.

[Giggles]

I'm so glad we're
finally doing this.

Me, too.

I cannot wait
to show him the city.

He's so excited.

Mm. What did you think
of my itinerary?

Um, which page?

Oh... I went all
overboard, didn't I?

It's a little ambitious.

That's ok.
[Groans]

We'll take it easy
and play it by ear, ok?

Mm.

We'll play it by this ear.

Oh. This one?

Mm-hmm.

I just--I really
want this weekend

to be memorable
for both of you.

It already is.

It's hard not living
in the same city.

I know. But I think
we're making it work. Right?

[Cell phone rings]
I think we are.

Did you forget to tell
Dave that you were on vacation?

[Ring]
It's Sean.

Your brother Sean?

Jim Peters.
I own the place.

Aaron, uh, thank God.
Uh...

I got mixed up in something.
I need your help.

What happened?

This girl, she died
right in my arms.

Look, I need to see you.

Sean, if you're a witness
to something, you need to stay put.

I'm in Manhattan.
I'll come to you.

What, you're here?
Since when?

Where are you?

Club called the Edinburgh.
8th and 54th.

All right, I'm on my way.
I'll text you when I'm close.

That sounded serious.

Yeah, with Sean
it usually is.

What's going on?

I don't know.

I'll keep you posted.

Will you keep
an eye on Jack?

Of course.

I'm sorry.

Don't be.

He's your brother.

Yeah.
That's why I'm worried.

I didn't think you could
still smoke in New York.

You're not even gonna warm up to
the big brother act?

I figured it'd save us time.

How long you been
in the city?

Jack and I got here today.

Jack. Wow.

I haven't seen him
since he was...

3.

Right.
And now he's, uh...

7.
3.

So this is where
you work now?

What happened
to the restaurant?

That was a long time ago.

I'm a bartender now.

What happened tonight?

The girl who died, Anna,

cops think she O.D.'d
on Ecstasy.

And you think
they're wrong?

She--she was bleeding,

out of everything.

My manager
wouldn't let me

call 911 until
we got her outside,

and by that time
she was already dead.

Cops ask you why
you waited to call them?

They'd already
written it off.

Cops said they see people
overdose in clubs all the time.

Then there are probably other
cases like this. I'll talk to them.

There was.

Linda Heying.

She died last week.

How well did you know her?

We worked together.

She probably got her supply
from the same place.

There's enough of it
around here.

And everybody looks
the other way.

Yeah. If we want
to keep our jobs.

Linda wasn't using.

How do you know?

She was my girlfriend.

And the M.E. reports showed
3 other victims

bleeding out over the last week.

Yeah. One in Harlem,
two in the Village,

all 5 of them categorized
as Ecstasy overdoses.

And one of the victims may have
been drugged without her knowledge.

Ecstasy is frequently
used as a date rape drug,

but I've never seen it
cause bleeding like this.

Could it be a bad batch?

Well, uh,

according to the M.E.,

the victims had so much
MDMA in their systems

that it caused their
internal body temperature

to go out of control.

They boiled
from the inside out.

That's not typical
of overdose victims either.

We could be looking
at product tampering,

similar to the Tylenol
cyanide poisoning in '86.

And the working theory
in that case

was that the unsub
targeted a specific victim

but dosed mass quantities
to cover his tracks.

So you're telling me these
deaths could just be the start.

Yes, ma'am. I'd like the team

to join me in New York
as soon as possible.

We're on our way, Aaron.

Thanks.

You're coming, aren't you?

Just as a precaution.

This team tends to go rogue when
loved ones are involved.

Brothers Hotchner



Hotch: "Rarely do members
of the same family

grow up under
the same roof."

Richard Bach.

Morgan: This is more
than product tampering.

This is mass murder.

Overdosing certainly
seems like a hard sell now.

How is he taking out
experienced partiers

and non-drug users
at the same time?

He has to be dosing
his victims without

their knowledge somehow.

Ecstasy can be made in pill,
powder, and liquid form.

It wouldn't be that hard to slip
something into someone's drink

or to convince them the pill
they're taking is safe.

So even regular users
might not know

they're being dosed
until it's too late.

Why kill in such
a graphic manner?

Well, he gets off
on the spectacle.

It's not just about
the victims with this guy.

It's about the witnesses.
He incites fear.

Which means the unsub
is desperate for attention,

and he wants all eyes
on his work

because he craves recognition.

He'll be paying close attention
to the media, then.

It allows him
to relive his crimes.

You know, the medium
of his kill is interesting.

He's picking a drug that's
known for its euphoric effect.

It's like he wants to take
that happiness away.

Well, it can't be
a coincidence

that the majority is
victims are known drug users.

He's taking the law
into his own hands.

But what about
the two who were clean?

Linda Heying and
Erik Sullivan's families

insist they never
touched the stuff.

Either the victims
are good at hiding the truth

or the unsub's killing
for another reason.

We should take a closer look
and see how they're connected.

Hi. I'm gonna have to try
to meet up with you guys later.

This is a bit of a mess.

We've got 11 victims,

and Sean seems to be
mixed up in it somehow.

Well, don't worry about us,
then. We'll be fine.

Ok. Can you put Jack on?

Sure.

It's your dad.

Hi, Dad.

Hey, buddy. I'm gonna
have to be late.

You'll miss
the Statue of Liberty.

I know. And I'm really
disappointed.

I was looking forward
to the boat ride out there.

I'm sorry I have to work, Jack.

This is the part of my job
that stinks.

It's ok, Dad.
If someone's in trouble,

you should help them.

I appreciate that. Take lots
of pictures for me, ok?

I will.

Hey.

Hi.

Thanks for doing this.
I'm really sorry.

Oh, are you kidding?

I'm excited about a little quality
one-on-one with Jack.

Go help your brother.

Thanks. I love you.

Love you, too.

Bye.

6 kids died
at a rave last night.

They bled out
just like the others.

Damn.

How well do you know these people
you're working with?

Oh... Thane hooked me up with
the job a couple of months ago.

Linda and I started dating
a few weeks after that.

You suspect any of
the employees of dealing?

No, but it's not like it's hard
to find if you're looking.

And you'd tell me if you
were involved in anything illegal?

Yes, but I'm not.

I swear, Aaron.

And you've told me
everything?

All right, you did
the right thing in calling.

I'll you know
what we find out.

Well, this guy's definitely
making a statement.

To us or to them?

It's the drug.

Did you and your friends
take the same pills?

Yeah. But it wasn't pills.
It was liquid X.

I'm just trying
to understand

did they take
a lot more than you?

Why was that?

Why would you want
more doses?

I mean, it appears that
the drug had its intended effect.

Eventually, yeah.

But it took forever and the
others didn't want to wait.

And how long
does it normally take?

An hour, maybe.

But is stuff
was different.

It took nearly
double that.

So your friends
bought more doses,

thinking the batch
they'd taken was weak.

How much more did
they take? Do you know?

Two vials, each.

Do you think you'd be able to
describe the person

you bought
the Ecstasy from?

Don't have to.

He's right over there.

Thanks.

The delayed onset of the drug caused
the victims to OD themselves.

Well, that explains
why the victims boiled.

The higher the dose,
the higher the heat.

Maybe it was designed
that way.

According to the M.E.
report,

the Ecstasy was cut with a
high volume of methamphetamine.

Go for greatness.

Hey, baby girl.
I need you to run a search

on delayed onset MDMA.

Meth amphetamine mixtures.

See if you can find
anything about--

Whoa?
What?

Double oh to the whoa
to the oh whoa power.

There's a drug called
para-methox... ish...

Reid:
Para-methoxymethamphetamine?

Yes. What you just said.
PMMA for short.

It just hit
the international market.

Its street name, which I'm
not making up, is Doctor Death.

So coined because
the drug keeps killing people.

Apparently it's produced with
such a huge percentage of meth,

it masks the effects
of the Ecstasy

until the user's
already taken too much.

MDMA costs more to make
than methamphetamine,

so it's common practice
to mix the two in creating Ecstasy

in order to maximize
the profit margins.

Like watering down
liquor,

except in this case,
the water kills you.

So is this PMMA coming
straight from the manufacturer,

or is our unsub altering the
drug supply to make it more lethal?

[Clatter]

[Bottles clinking]

Thank you.

That was the DEA.

They're very concerned.

This is the first evidence

of PMMA making its way
into the United States.

And they have no idea
this is where it's coming from?

No. They've increased
border patrol,

they've heightened security
at the airports.

That doesn't help us
if it's being made here.

Well, still, if it weren't
for your brother,

we might not have made
the connection.

I have some reservations.

What are you gonna do?

I asked Dave
to talk to him.

Well, that'll do it.

Where's Aaron?

In cases where
family's involved,

we like to have
an unbiased agent

conduct the interview.

Am I a suspect?

Should you be?

Um, how well
did you know Linda?

We used to date.

Date?

Hmm.

You told Agent Hotchner
that she was your girlfriend.

She was.

Then it... stopped.

You two broke up, then?

No, it's not like that.

Well, what stopped, then,
the sex?

Look, what Linda and I were
or weren't isn't gonna help you.

I think you should let me
decide what's going to help.

[Sighs]

We had a fight.

It was bad.
But we were getting over it,

getting back
to normal.

What was the fight about?

[Sighs]

My using.

You're a drug addict?

I don't use anymore.

Linda convinced me
to get clean.

How long ago was that?

Two months ago.

Any relapses?

Not in the last two months.

What was
your drug of choice?

I'd rather not say.

You'd rather not say?

Are you serious?
People are dying, Sean.

It was Ecstasy.

You said you told me
everything.

I stopped using.
I didn't think it mattered.

It does matter. Where were you
getting the drugs?

From Thane.

So you're protecting him.

No. Look,
it's not like that.

I met him
a few years ago.

When I lost the catering gig,
he gave me a job.

Thane may be a dumbass,
but he doesn't kill people.

Does it not occur to you that if
Thane has access to the drug supply,

he might also have access
to the person doing this?

I didn't think--

No, you didn't think.
What else are you hiding?

Nothing!

I didn't have anything
to do with this.

I don't understand.

We buried my brother
week ago.

Well, other people have died,
and we're worried

to what happened
to your brother.

I knew it.

The cops tried telling us
he died of a drug overdose.

But you didn't believe them.

Erik didn't do drugs.

He wouldn't.

Why is that?

Our dad used to get high
before he'd beat us.

You told police that you were
partying the night he died.

Yeah, we were just
drinking wine.

That's all.

You remember
what kind?

Not the brand
or anything.

I got a bottle of red,
he got white.

While you're
topping off...

Did you wash your hands?

Yes.

You know the rules.

Thank you for
the world so sweet,

thank you for the food we eat.

Thank you for
the birds that sing,

thank you, God, for everything.

Amen.

Mom! Dad!

Aah!

Ecstasy isn't exactly
an appetizer.

You know, Kimberly
Sullivan said she and her brother

were drinking wine
the night he died.

It's almost empty.

Do you mind?
Thanks.

The unsub wants to increase
his body count.

He doesn't care
who he hurts.

TV: A startling development
tonight in Manhattan

where two parents died
of an apparent drug overdose

in front of their daughter.

Bernard and Catherine Hatchitt
bled out at the dinner table

in what is being categorized
as a deadly reaction

to Ecstasy and methamphetamine.

Federal investigators arrived on
the scene when it was discovered

the illegal substance
was inside the wine

the couple had been drinking.

Their daughter has been moved
into protective custody

pending the outcome
of the investigation,

and next of kin...

I hope you saved me
for dessert.

Morgan isn't here,
baby girl.

Oh. I knew that.
That was for you.

Uh-huh.

Tell us you found
something.

How about a sequel
to "The Grapes of Wrath"?

I tracked the wine bottles
both Erik Sullivan

and the Hatchitt family
were drinking,

and look out, 'cause
those bottles were in cases

shipped to the Edinburgh.

Why would someone
at the bar drug the wine?

Maybe it occurred
at the bottling plant.

There's no way to track where
a specific case is going to

until after
it's been offloaded.

Yeah. And it doesn't
explain the rave victims.

It would if we're
dealing with two unsubs.

One who alters the drug,
another who doses the wine.

But if someone at the club
is spiking the wine,

how is it ending up
in the hands

of two Manhattan parents
and one underage boy in Harlem?

Garcia, did any of the wine
victims make transactions

at the Edinburgh?

Nothing that's obvious.
I'll keep checking.

Beep beep.

Ok. So...

We have 5 overdose victims

we can connect directly
to the Edinburgh,

a club that condones
drug use.

The answer is there.

[Knocks]

Let me call you back.

Thanks.

I heard about those parents.

I want to help.

What do you know?

We think somebody
at the Edinburgh

is dosing bottles of wine
with tampered Ecstasy.

Why? To murder someone?

Well, if they know the drugs
have been tampered with, yes.

If not, they could be using it
as a date rape drug.

Does that sound like something
Thane would do?

Yeah. I've seen him do it.

But he freaked out when he saw
what happened to Anna.

He definitely didn't know.

Who do you think it could be?

Someone farther up
the supply chain.

Thane might know
who it is.

I could help you find out.

How's that?

I know the guy. I can ask him
where he gets his drugs.

Then that might tip off
the real unsub.

Well, couldn't you put
a wire on me?

I can do it without
making him suspicious.

No, Sean. You have no training.
I'm not gonna do that.

And if Thane knows more than we
think he does, it's too risky.

I'm telling you,
I can do this.

Just give me the chance.

Once you tell Thane
that the police questioned you,

you'll have his attention.

Ask him what you're
supposed to say to them

if they want to talk
to you again.

We need some idea
of how the operation's organized.

He's not gonna
just give that up.

Well, if you create
the right circumstances, he might.

Hotch: The Edinburgh's had a lot
of attention right now

because of the deaths,
and that's not good for business.

And you need to make the
situation sound as bad as possible.

Yeah,
but won't he panic?

Well, without jeopardizing
your safety, that's exactly

what we want him to do.

Even with the spotlight
of the investigation,

the club still needs
to make money.

And that means continuing
to sell the drugs.

Thane's already on edge.

Somebody's probably pressuring
him to make all this go away.

Which is why he'll be desperate to
know what you've said to the police.

[No audio]

Thane needs somebody
on his side right now,

and the more that you can
assure him you're a team player,

the more he's gonna
confide in you.

How do you feel?

Fine. I'm ready.

All right, good. Let's do it.

You're late, Hotchner.

Sorry. Sorry, I got
held up by the cops.

You what?

They called. They wanted to ask
a few more questions.

Oh, they did, did they?

And what did you
tell them, Sean?

Uh... I told them exactly
how it happened, Jim.

That girl started screaming
about being too hot,

Thane and I got her
some water, got her outside

to cool off,
and she collapsed.

You're a good man, Sean.

You understand,
we just don't want them

shutting the place down.

Club like this one closed a few
days, we're finished for good.

Look, fellas,
I like my job.

I'm not about to do anything
to jeopardize that.

Why did they call you in
and not me?

I guess 'cause
I'm the bartender.

I don't know,
they were...

talking about some
bad wine or something.

I tell you, it's a good
thing I got sober.

I had no idea wine could
do that to a person.

I just wish I had known than
Linda had started drinking again.

Then maybe I...

could have done something to help
before it was too late.

That couldn't have
been easy for him.

They connected that girl
to Linda?

Maybe you should dump
that wine just to be safe.

Yeah. Hey, Sean.
Come with me. Give me a hand.

He know anything?

I'm not sure.

Yeah.

Start with these.

You don't want to dump
the whole case?

Uh, no, just--
just those two.

Something wrong?

Yeah. I, uh,

I could've sworn there was
another case of that stuff.

I don't think so.

No, I'm sure of it.

Um, you didn't notice
anything missing

the last time
you did inventory?

No. Everything's here.

No, I'm sure of it.
There was...

another case
of the Whiteland chard.

I don't know what
to tell you, Thane,

but if it's gone,
it's a good thing, right?

We just have to dump it.

No! No, it's not
a good thing.

I need that wine.

Where is it?

It's not here.

It's not here!

What did you do, Thane?

I spiked the wine, you idiot.

3 of the bottles
were in that other case.

Oh, God.

Oh, God.
Jim is gonna kill me.

Why the hell
would you do that?

For a laugh. I thought it was X.
Girls love that crap.

Yeah, but it wasn't x,
was it?

No, I guess not.

He's going off plan,
Hotch.

Get ready to move in.

What was in the wine,
Thane?

I don't know.

Well, where did you get it?

What does it matter?!

Linda's dead because of you.

You son of a bitch. She was sober
and you drugged her.

Yeah, not as sober
as you think.

Look, I wouldn't
if I was you.

You had that Anna girl's
blood all over you.

You don't let it go,
I'm gonna tell them it was you.

What's that?

You bastard.

Hotch: Drop it!

FBI. Drop it.

Keep your hands
where I can see them.

You...

Let's go.

Ah--

you all right?

I'll wait for you outside.

Caught her trying
to get out

through a grate
in the office.

Was Peters with her?

Not sure. JJ and Alex

are searching
the perimeter.

[Text message beeps]

[Beep]

Morgan: Thanks.

The crash didn't kill him.

Someone poured PMMA
down his nose and throat.

The drug aside, this is
a completely different M.O.

He's no longer content
to sit back and watch. Why?

The overkill seems personal.
Whoever did this

had a definite grudge
against Peters.

Garcia's running background
and financial records on Sean.

Hotch, you don't think
you're overreacting?

He left the Edinburgh
for a reason. We need to know why.

You can't actually think
that he did this?

I don't, but I can't
eliminate the possibility

until I know
what he's hiding.

Maybe we should look at this
another way.

We know Thane was responsible
for dosing the wine.

That was his own plan,
not the unsub's.

So how would a sociopath seeking
recognition for his achievements

handle someone
interfering with his work?

He'd put a stop to it.

Any way he could.

That was after the Hatchitt
parents were killed.

As innocent victims,
they were the deviation.

So we were wrong.
The unsub does care who dies.

Instead of targeting Thane,
the unsub went after Peters.

He held him responsible.

He may hold Peters
responsible

for more
than Thane's actions.

I'm gonna have Garcia
dig into his life.

In the meantime, we'll use that
to find out what we can.

Well, Thane...

It looks like
we have a problem.

Yeah? What's that, then?

Well, someone's
pretty upset.

Your club's been dosing
innocent women.

Ok, that was Thane's deal.

He'd been dosing X
for years.

But recently it went wrong.

I had nothing
to do with that.

You knew
it was going on.

That makes you
an accessory.

Look, I think I'd like
my phone call now.

You could do that, sure.

Or, we could play
a little game called

"Let's Make A Deal."

I don't want to make
any deals without my lawyer.

Yeah, this one you do.

See, this is what somebody
did to your boss.

You see, Thane,
whoever it is that's out there,

he managed to get
to Jim Peters

outside
of his apartment.

The person who did that
isn't very happy right now.

And he is waiting,
just waiting

to get his hands
on someone else

connected to your club's
operation.

And you know
what we're gonna do?

We're gonna let you go.

You're what?

What makes you think

that if he was able
to get to the big boss,

he'd have any trouble
getting his hands on you?

So, like I said, we're gonna let
you walk right out of here--

All right. I'll tell you
what you want to know.

Just...

You have to protect me.

Still no word from Sean?

We'll find him, Aaron.

How does a guy who has
everything going for him

make one self-destructive
choice after another?

And then when it seems like
he's gonna get his act together,

it all falls apart again.

Were you two ever close?

He was in first grade when I
was sent off to boarding school.

I was the screw-up
making bad choices.

But at a certain point,
I realized I could either

continue to do that or I
could get my act together.

But this doesn't
seem to occur to Sean.

I know he didn't show up
for Haley's funeral.

Right.

And at that point
I decided

I couldn't make him
a priority anymore. I was done.

Hello, my pretties.

I have seen the wizard
and he granted my wish.

Erik Sullivan and Catherine
Hatchitt both withdrew money

from the same ATM
on the day that they died.

That ATM is located
in a bodega

two blocks from the Edinburgh.

What you want to bet that's
where they bought their wine?

Good work, Garcia.

We'll send Morgan and Reid.
Yep.

What'd you find?

Well, they didn't
know names,

but thanks to Thane
and Liz, we now have a map

of the distribution chain.

The Ecstasy was flown
from Canada into Franklin,

a private airport
outside the city.

And then a courier
transports the drug supply

to 5 drop-off points, where
the dealers pick up the product

and then sell it
to their clients.

And the clients
include local clubs

and underground
party venues.

How many of those clubs
were connected to Peters?

Two. But only the Edinburgh
received the tainted X.

All right, let's find out everything
we can about the other club.

How do you expect
to stay in business

if you open 20 minutes
late every day?

I got a hangover.
What is it to you?

We'd like to talk to you
about your inventory.

We pulled your shipping
orders, Mr. Beaird.

It appears you're selling
more product than you're taking in.

Don't you guys have
anything better to do

than to harass
an old shopkeeper?

Yes, actually we do,
so can we not waste any time?

Where do you get
your extra goods?

Private donations.

Do those donors include
employees of local establishments?

Look, sometimes a guy
nicks a bottle

or the supplies from
his place of employment

and brings it to me.

If I can sell it,
I take it off his hands

at a bargain price.

Does that include
cases of wine?

Yeah. I bought one
a couple of weeks ago.

Funny thing. The guy
came back yesterday

and paid the full price
for what was left.

Strange fellow.

Guys, I found
something stranger

than a time-traveling
police box.

What's that?

I ran financial records

for all the people who work
at the Franklin airport.

There is a baggage handler
named Mike Spires

who's been making
ridiculously large cash deposits

to his checking account
on a weekly basis.

Here's what's weird--

he's been dead
for the last 4 weeks.

So how's he still
making deposits?

[Cell phone rings]
Right?

[Ring]

- Hotchner.
- Aaron.

Sean, you need
to come in.

We think you may be
in danger from the unsub.

He's targeting
Edinburgh employees.

Yeah, I heard
about Jim Peters.

Look, I didn't
kill him.

I know that.
I also know why you ran.

Of course you do.

Just come in so that
we can protect you.

It's time to stop running.

Solve the case
and I'll stop.

If Spires has been dead
for a month,

he can't be our guy.

Why would the dealers
keep paying him?

They don't know
that their courier died.

Someone must have
taken his place.

The unsub.
He killed Spires

so he could get his hands
on the drug supply.

Who else knew he was a courier?
Another package handler?

Sure. They must be
on the take, too,

paid to look
the other way.

JJ: Garcia, do any
of the baggage handlers

show a history
of drug abuse?

A few minor infractions,
but nothing that sticks out.

All right, widen the search.
Have any airport employees

had a drug death
in the family recently?

Uh...

Yeah.

The daughter
of Larry Feretich,

Megan, she died
two months ago

of a suspected
Ecstasy overdose.

There's your trigger.

Where did she die?

Uh... The Obsidian.

It's the other club
owned by Jim Peters.

He's smart. He avoided
dosing the Obsidian supply

so we couldn't connect
the murders to him.

Garcia,
where's Feretich now?

At the airport.

All right,
notify Morgan and Reid.

Yeah.

Larry Feretich?

FBI.

Larry Feretich, you're under arrest
for the murder of--

He killed my daughter!
He killed Megan!

No, he didn't.
A drug killed your daughter.

No, it was Jim Peters.

I said so,
but no one would listen.

Thank you.

That was the Canadian
drug agency.

They closed down operations
at their airport.

That's a relief.

Now Sean can
come out of hiding.

He's exonerated.

That's something.

[Sighs]

Well, I don't know
about you all, but I'm exhausted.

I'm gonna head back
to the hotel and take a bath.

I could drive you.

I'm heading that way.

Thank you, Alex.

So I'll see everyone
on the jet tomorrow.

Could you be
any more obvious?

I think I preferred you

before you were a profiler.

[Laughs] Really?

[Knock on door]

Here, buddy.

[Laughs] Give me that.

Hey.

Hey.

Come on in.

Jack, do you remember
Uncle Sean?

Hey, Jack.

It's been a long time.

Hi.

And this is Beth.

It's great
to finally meet you.

Yeah, well, it's not like we live
in the same city or anything.

[Chuckles]

Jack, how about we go look at
all that cool stuff

you got at the
museum today, huh?

Mm-hmm.
Ok.

Say goodbye
to Uncle Sean, Jack.

Bye.

Bye. I'll see you soon, huh?

So how did you know
I took the wine?

I know what you sound like
when you tell a lie.

You said something
to Thane about the wine,

and I could hear you
calming yourself down.

My brother the profiler.

It has more to do
with being your brother

than being a profiler.

What did you get
for the wine?

100 bucks.

I needed it for rent.

Sean, you and I
need to do better.

Yeah, I want to, Aaron.

Look, I know
what I have to do.

Know any good lawyers?

I've made a couple calls.

There are two officers
waiting downstairs.

Yeah, I know.
I saw them on my way up.

I'll walk you down.

Hotch: "Cruel
is the strife of brothers."

Aristotle.

[Camera clicking]

[Beeping]

[Alarm]

That's not right.
Why is that happening?

What...

What--what--

wait--

that's what the...
That's what the Replicator--

that's what
the Replicator said.

Where is he?

How did he get in my--

how did he do it?
How did he get in?

how did he get in?
Hey!

[Beep]

== sync, corrected by elderman ==

Ooh.

[Laughter]

Wait!

Kids!

Wait for me!

[Indistinct chatter]

Do you really think your team
is going to save you?

I know they will.

Did you get everything
you wanted?

What?

In life.

Did you?

Does anyone?

We should. Heh.

That's the point.

Drinking
got in your way.

Your husband
couldn't help.

Though God knows he tried.

You know my husband?

And your poor children

always played second fiddle
to your ambition.

I can't see.

Oh, thank God. David.

He was here.
You have to find him.

I will. I promise.

Thank you.

All the love in the world
won't save you.

What?

We're not finished yet.

Ohh...

[Cell phone rings]

[Ring]
Ohh...

JJ: The Replicator's here
in New York.

He took pictures of us and
he hacked into Garcia's system.

I know. I will.

I love you, too.

Bye.

Hey, Garcia.

Are you guys ok?

Yeah, yeah.
I got Derek with me.

We're meeting everyone
at the hotel.

I don't know
how he got in.

I'm gonna shut down the system
before the Replicator can.

I am so sorry.
I check everything.

I upgrade constantly.

It's not your fault,
Penelope.

He's just that good.

And he wanted us to know
that he's here hunting us.

Hold on. You got
an external override.

And if the only way to get in is
with the pre-authorized hard line

and he didn't get in
via Quantico...

Oh, my God.

What?

He was in my house.

[Line ringing]

Strauss isn't answering.

Keep trying. Reid,
any luck with Blake?

Not yet.

The pictures of you were taken
outside of Beth's apartment.

I get it if you want to stay
with them until we find him.

I've got agents
surrounding Beth's building.

She and Jack are safer without me,
since we're the targets.

Blake, we'll pick you up
in a few minutes.

The Replicator's back.

Voicemail: You've reached Erin Strauss.
Please leave me a detailed message.

Hey, it's me again. I got your text,
but I guess you fell asleep.

Hotch. Something's wrong.

The window's open.
She'd never sleep like that.

Did something happen
to make her drink again?

No! She was working
real hard at--

this represents a year sober.

She hasn't let to of it
since she got it.

She's even a sponsor now.

The Replicator has her.
I'll check the roof.

I'll have Morgan
meet you up there.

Strauss is missing.
Blake, you and Reid

talk to hotel security.

We need access points and
footage from every camera.

Morgan, back up Dave
on the roof. JJ,

take the west staircase,
I'll take the east.

[Cell phone rings]

Erin.

Not quite.
Does it ever get confusing,

that whole
Erin/Aaron thing?

Where is she?

Closer than you think.

But she's not doing well.

She looks a bit pale.

Remember the last time
you got a call like this?

[Sirens]

Remember?

George Foyet, right?

You were too late.

Rossi.

What the hell happened?

Her room was a wreck.

She been drinking?

No.

Rossi, you sure?

Look, if the Replicator took her,
he's probably long gone.

But he left the window open
so we would come up here.

Well, then this is
some kind of trap

or he wants us
to see something.

There she is!

[Cell phone rings]

Dave! Dave, I've got her!

She's on a bench, she's a block
east of the hotel. Call EMTs.

Erin.

Is he armed?

Is he armed?

Erin.

I tried to find you.

It's ok.
Help is on the way.

Go--[Coughing]

Erin, you've been drugged.
We need to get you to a hospital.

No, I can't.
It's happening so fast.

Dave's called
the paramedics.

He said he's gonna
race you home.

Does that mean
anything to you?

You have to find him.

It's so quiet.
Why is it so quiet?

Erin, did you
recognize him?

He put a gun
to my head.

He made me drink.

I'm sorry.

I wish I'd let him
kill me.

Did you know him?

No.

He knows my family.

He knows my children!

You have to protect my kids!
You have to find him!

We will. We will.
Just take a breath.

[Moaning]

I love my children.

Please tell them.

They know. They know.

Once you said I loved
my son the most.

That's not true.

I'm sorry.

I was wrong.

Aaron, I can't see you.

I'm right here.

I don't want to die alone.

I'm right here.
It's ok.

Shh, shh...

It's ok.

8x24
The Replicator

Rossi: "Affliction comes to us

"not to make us sad, but sober;

not to make us sorry, but wise."

H.G. Wells.

We've got an APB,
but the description

of the Replicator
is too general.

He wiped out all of the
hotel security cameras.

ATM and traffic cameras
were compromised also.

Which means he hacked into
at least two dozen systems.

Well, he got into
Garcia's place,

which mean he can get in anywhere.
This guy's bragging.

Reid: He also wants us to know
he can take massive risks

and still get away with it.

It's probably why he took Strauss
into a crowd of people.

JJ: That and to humiliate
her publicly.

But he called Hotch
from her phone.

It was important to him
that we find her alive.

The Director wants this
contained and solved.

Morgan: Well, at least
he's not taking us off the case.

He's given us 24 hours
and then he will.

I'm taking her back
to Bethesda.

She never liked this city,
Aaron.

I'm not about to leave her.

Hotch: Could you give us
a minute, please.

Is Jack staying here?

I think it's a good idea.

You're lucky to have Beth.

I know.

Her children want
to meet me at Bethesda.

How old are they now?

Too young for this.

You all right?

She smells of booze,
Aaron.

You and I know it's because
that bastard took away her dignity.

But her children
might not believe that.

It's hard for them to trust

anything to do with
her drinking.

She struggled with it
all her life.

And she was finally
beating it.

He knew about Foyet?

Who's that?

He's the man
who killed my wife.

That's a classified
case that's not in any database.

Then how would he
know about it?

If he had access
to the file,

we're talking about
someone on the inside.

Conference room in 5.

Garcia,
is this everything?

Yeah. The Replicator stuff
is here,

and the team stuff
is there and there.

How's Rossi?

Not good.

Is he with Strauss?
Yeah.

Ok. Uh--uh, I started with
the question you asked--

why attack Strauss,
and on this day?

The most obvious answer is that
it's an anniversary of some sort.

But there's nothing
historically relevant.

It could be
the smallest thing.

Concentrate on New York.
If the date's that important,

the setting could be, too.

It would be easier to
attack Strauss at home.

Is there a reason why he waited
for her to be out?

Well, considering she's
hardly ever in the field,

he sure got a lot
of photos of Strauss.

It's like
he's obsessed with her.

Maybe Strauss was
always his first target.

He attacked the top
of the BAU chain first.

All right, Reid,
you've matched up

all the murder locations
with the dates.

Now we need to know
how long it would take

to drive
to each of these locations,

assuming a home base
in the district.

He brought the fight here
for a reason.

Well, it's nearly
impossible to figure out

when he arrived and departed
New York, but we should try.

I'll collect all the public and
private transport stuff.

Garcia, I need Kevin
to go through

every single pixel
of these photographs.

This unsub gets off
on taunting us.

He's given us answers here.
We just haven't found them yet.

Are you all right?

Yeah.

She was a good woman.

I know. I'm sorry.

Are those her children
out there?

Her ex is on the way.

You know the family well.

It feels like I do.

Through her.

So, uh, when will we
get the tox results?

We have them.

It's what you expected.
Meth and Ecstasy combo.

Though it didn't cause
the internal boiling like

with the New York victims.

A lower dose,
or did he alter it?

We won't know until
we get the exact breakdown.

I'll let you know
the second I hear.

So what do you make
of the markings on her wrist?

Torture, right?
It was done antemortem.

What?

The carving I showed you.

Right.

Sorry. Can you
show me that again?

Dave, a figure 8?

That's what it looks like.

I just sent you all
a picture.

Maybe it's an infinity symbol.

Well, if it's infinity,
he could be boasting

"I'll go on forever"?

Or if it's an 8, Strauss was
his eighth victim.

And the unofficial
eighth member of our team.

If this is a taunt from him,
it's too random.

Well, he's only sent
one message

and he seems
to be real proud of it.

Zugzwang.

Then what
does this mean?

Rossi, the cut looks jagged.

Any idea what caused
the serration?

Best guess
is a piece of glass.

Maybe he used empty bottles
from the mini bar?

Those were all plastic.

The M.E. is checking
for splinters now.

All right, let us know
what you find out.

Anything from
the photographs yet?

We blew up a few more
and this one seems to stand out.

When were you in a tuxedo?

It was a British embassy
event.

Security clearance
is high.

Security was insane there.

That kind of accessibility, plus
knowing about Foyet,

the fact that he was able
to get through all of my

security clearances alone,

you guys are right.
You have to trust your gut.

The Replicator has
gotta be on the inside.

The Director needs to know
the status of the system failure.

Give me another
few hours.

He's not happy about it.
Yeah, well, who is?

If the Replicator's
an insider,

is there any way
Strauss knew him?

She said she didn't
recognize him.

To her defense, she was disoriented
by the drug overdose.

She was adamant about it.

Well, even if Strauss
didn't know him,

it doesn't mean
he didn't know her.

Within the Bureau,
she is the face of the BAU.

And clearly a target
from the beginning. But why?

More importantly,
what was he replicating?

Blake: The drug overdose.

I mean with the 8. It hasn't
been part of any other case,

and he's not one
to make mistakes.

He thought he was
replicating a crime.

The Director made us walk away
from the case a few months ago.

Strauss said that
she wouldn't let it go.

What if she hadn't?

You think she started
her own investigation?

Well, if she thought
he was an insider,

she might have done
something to trap him.

Why wouldn't she have told you
about that back in New York?

Maybe she didn't have proof.

But her determination, plus the
fact that he doesn't make mistakes

makes me think that the 8
was part of her plan to catch him.

Do we have her laptop?

All the hacking in the world
isn't gonna help

if they shut us down.

He can't win,
not like this.

This is Strauss' laptop.

I need to access who was
on the distribution list

for my case reports.

You don't know
who reads your reports?

I know she sent them to the
head of the criminal division

and the Director, but I don't
know who else is on the list.

The last case
she sent in

was the case
in Detroit.

The Cutter.

She amended the report
and said that the unsub

cut a figure 8
into his victims' wrists.

But he didn't do that.

No, he didn't.

So she duped him. Which means
that one of the people

reading these reports
has gotta be the Replicator.

It doesn't show
who else saw this.

Two other people
read the report.

Who?

You're gonna
need a tie.

Agent Hotchner,
I have a very full day.

Yes, sir, we all do.
Senator, can I suggest

that we move this
into your office.

There's nothing you can tell me that
these walls have not heard before.

How long has the Department of Justice
been watching the BAU?

That's no secret.
We made it clear to your Director

and your section chief that we
were watching your team closely

ever since that ordeal
with agent...

Prentiss.
Yes.

She's running an office
in London

and that's a good place
for her.

You receive my case files
from the Director.

Well, agent,
that's classified.

Sir, it's not a question.
I know you're on the list.

I need to know who else
has access to them.

I'm not answering that
until I get some insight

as to what
this is all about.

There's a man
that's been replicating

many of the crimes that
we've solved in the last year.

Erin Strauss told us
all about it.

He killed last night, sir, in New York.
She was murdered.

Wh?

Why haven't I been told
about this?

The Director's
keeping this contained.

We believe that this unsub
is targeting the rest of us,

and we've determined
that he's someone

within the highest levels
of the justice system

and he's been reading
the details of my reports.

I need the names, sir.

At least
this narrows it down.

Finding someone on the inside
should be easier.

Not necessarily. If our unsub
was trained by law enforcement,

he'd know how to fit in
perfectly.

There's meaning and purpose
to everything he does.

Why did he choose
to replicate the Silencer case?

Well, that unsub went dormant
for years 'cause he was locked up.

Is that a clue
about the Replicator?

Well, it speaks
to his patience.

What about his M.O.?
He sewed mouths shut.

It symbolizes
keeping secrets.

There could be
something in that.

He's targeting everyone.

So how does that particular
case factor into all of us?

It's the first one Garcia
and I worked on with Blake.

Yeah, but the rest of us worked
on the Seattle case before that.

Right. The unsub who used
his kid to bait the victims.

We need to see
if he replicated that one.

The system is still down,
thanks to yours truly,

which I'm horrified about.

I'm trying to get the deets
on the Seattle case

this way now, literally.

You and I were in London when the
other guys spent time in Seattle.

I'm on the phone right now
with Jennie from ViCAP

to see if that particular M.O.
has ever been duplicated.

[Beep]
Yeah, I'm still here.

Uh, it would be Seattle,
early September.

Right.

No, not email.
Can you fax it?

Fax, yeah.

Thank you.
Thank you.

I take that as a yes.

Before he copied
the Silencer case,

he was in Seattle weeks after they
solved the sadist.

Go check the fax machine.
She just sent you that replicated case.

Thanks, baby girl.
Yeah. Yeah.

Ok. I did something right.
I did something right.

I need everybody
in the conference room.

A dozen federal employees

have read our case files
over the last two years.

They all went through
the highest levels of security.

Each of those names needs
to be checked against Reid's list.

We should get them all in here
and start the interrogations.

If he knows we're looking his way,
he might retreat.

We should also check
the support staffs

of all those employees.

Each one has two assistants,
so we're already up to 36 people.

We should start with agents
who work a 4-day, 40-hour week,

given the fact that most of the
murders happened

over a long weekend,
which means if the unsub

traveled by car, no one
at work would've missed them.

Well, he probably
wouldn't fly.

It would leave
a paper trail.

What's this?

The Replicator's first case
was the same as mine.

Remember the sadist
who made Ridgeway look tame?

In Seattle, so it wasn't
the Silencer.

Do you think
it's a coincidence

he started all of this
when I joined the team?

I don't know.

Dave's back?

Excuse me.

He's only been back
a few minute

it looks like it's hitting him
pretty hard.

Well, they were together
for the last year.

[Cell phone rings]

That's the Director.
I'll be right back.

Yes, sir.
This is Agent Hotchner.

Hey, Rossi.

You all right?

You don't look so good.

Get out.

Look, I know this has
gotta be tough on you--

hey.

Rossi, what the hell
are you doing?

Rossi, put the gun down.

Rossi.

What's going on?

Morgan's DNA
was on the glass

that cut her wrist.

Strauss?

You did that.

No, I didn't.

Dave, someone on the inside
is doing this.

You're looking at him.

Derek did not hurt her, and
you have to trust me on this.

Trust you?

I bet you told Erin
the same thing.

Look what that got her.

Dave, you've been drugged.

I was too late, Erin.

I'm so sorry.

He wants us
against each other.

If you pull that trigger,
he wins.

She's not there.

Give me the gun.

I'm gonna call
the paramedics.

Sit down. It's all right.

They've given him a sedative

and they're going to
take him to the infirmary.

He's gonna be ok.

How did it get
into his system?

The report must have
been dusted

with whatever
he used on Strauss.

Luckily the transdermal
absorption rate

was lower than
her ingestion of it,

so it wasn't fatal
for Rossi.

Then this was a warning.

If he wanted to kill Rossi,
he had every chance to do it.

If this is
his endgame,

why is he wasting
time with warnings?

He's toying with us
and we're playing into him.

He's turned Rossi
against Morgan.

Even if it was temporary, he wanted
to show it could be done.

But why?

Strauss was dosed with a
chemical cousin of Doctor Death.

He altered it so her torture
would be longer.

A biochemist, computer hacker,
and federal agent?

Who the hell is this guy?

Only half the cameras
are working

because the system
is still rebooting itself,

so the security guards
have to go old school.

That means everyone
has to sign in.

You can't take your I.D.
And run it through--

well, you know
what old school means.

So, if you have a badge,
you don't get harassed.

The man who signed in
to see Rossi

went up to the sixth floor,

held the door open
for Kevin and Anderson...

I can't believe
he was right there.

Walked through our BAU
into Rossi's office,

signed in as Adam Worth.

Adam Worth?

Isn't that the same alias
he used when Maeve went missing?

Yeah, which means
it's not just a taunt.

It speaks directly
to his psychology.

Adam Worth was a famous criminal
from the late 1800s,

commonly referred to
as the Napoleon of Crime.

This unsub obviously
sees himself in the same light.

So this guy is a malignant
narcissist

who wants to be known as the
worst enemy we've ever had.

And look, he's careful to hide
his face from the cameras.

Because he knows
exactly where they are.

The Replicator has directly
taunted everyone on this team

except for me.

You may be part
of his endgame.

Then so was Strauss.

He chose to use drugs
as his final replication.

That's no accident.

Is that a connection
to you?

Strauss and I had issues
during the Amerithrax case.

It started in New York
with poison.

And it was delivered
by envelopes.

Why would anyone
on the inside

hold resentment
over that case?

Because that person suffered
a professional setback

just like Blake, but was patient
and psychotic enough

to get revenge.

I am all over the DOJ names
including support staff.

I have Kevin pulling
files and photos.

System is down, so it's hard
to check entire career paths,

but there were two agents
in New York in 2001.

Scratch that--Lehman
died in October--

that leaves Curtis.

Wait a second?
John Curtis?

You know him?

I haven't seen him
in a long time.

He was a nice guy.

We were first office
agents together,

but I thought he left the Bureau
after the Amerithrax case.

Could it be him?
Does he fit the profile?

He was quiet and a loner,
but brilliant.

He specialized
in a lot of fields,

but his passion

was biochemistry.

Garcia: He inherited a family
compound in rural Virginia.

Coordinates
on on your phone.

What else do you have
on Curtis?

Just like you thought.
John Curtis was demoted in the FBI

after the Amerithrax case.

He was slated to take over
the coveted New York field office,

but then was shipped
to the not coveted Kansas City one.

He worked there
for many years quietly

before he was able to weasel his
way back into the nation's capital.

On paper he is a rock star.

He immediately transferred
to the Department of Justice,

the intelligence
oversight section.

He's a genius
on multiple levels.

Hotch:
What's his background?

Only child, parents died
when he was 18.

Never married. Total loner,
just like Blake said.

Then all he's ever
had to care about is his work.

And when he lost that,
he snapped.

HRT will divide us up
when we land.

As you can see from the geo ref'd
he's got plenty of privacy.

5 1/2 acres, 3 structures,
house included.

Garcia.

I see it, too, sir.

It must be some sort
of system override.

[Alarm sounding]

Garcia: What's happening?

Autopilot's seized.

Computer: Mayday.
Oh, God.

[Indistinct radio transmission]

I got it back.

Garcia: Are you ok?

We're stabilizing.

[Alarm sounding]

Brace for impact.

Mayday, mayday, mayday!

Mayday, mayday, mayday!

I can't get through
to any of them.

We have agents
in those choppers.

It was only one.
The first is circling back now.

Are they ok?

Copy.

Ok, as a precaution,
they separated

to land on opposite
sides of the property,

and the controls were taken over
by a remote override.

Which can only happen
within a 5-mile radius.

He knew they were coming.

And how they were
getting there.

Are you guys all right?

Yeah.

Where's Blake?

What the hell is this?

What is this?

Ohh...

We're back in business.

Thank you.

Sir.

Where is everybody?

Right this second,
in a field.

If he'd wanted to kill all of us,
he could have.

He's playing God,
just like he's done all year.

He hard-landed us,
knocked us out

with whatever was in those
canister he could take Blake.

He had plenty of chances
to take her before tonight.

He wants it to be a spectacle.

[Coughing]

What do you want?

You're the profiler.

You tell me.

You don't want to know.

Reverse psychology.

I'm not going to beg
for your analysis.

You don't have to beg.

I already know how
desperate you are for it.

I didn't remember you
being so skittish.

You've never seen me
in chains before?

I've seen you with
your hands tied, so to speak.

Erin Strauss and the Bureau
discarded us.

We were the forgotten ones.

They forgot you.

I did all right.

But they'll remember me now.

You know, I admired you
back then,

leading the charge
on the day it all changed,

the day Erin Strauss
ruined us.

I sat next to you.

Borrowed your pen
to sign my transfer.

They put me in Kansas.

Me.

You know what
I've been wondering?

Why did Strauss
change her mind about you?

I kept my head down
and I worked hard.

We all did.

But you got my chance.

We're ready
to breach the house.

Which way did he go?

I don't know.

Morgan, you and JJ find him.
We've got this.

He said he used 8 locks

because there used to be
8 of us.

That's all he said?

About that, yes.

There's only 6 keys. That mean
two keys will be used twice.

Each key is a letter, likely
corresponds to a number on the locks.

7--seventh letter
of the alphabet's "G."

What are the other letters?

Um, Z, U, W--

Zugzwang.

It's too easy.

Morgan?

He's got the placed lined with C-4.
We've only got 3 minutes.

This seems too easy.

Zugzwang almost means
a dilemma in chess

where the best move
is not to move at all.

Wait, don't get up!

It's a pressure sensor.

They've gotta hurry.

Sir, I can't block
this thing off for long.

[Weapon cocks]

Drop the gun.

You'd really die for them?

That's the oath
we all took.

To protect our country
from people like you,

no matter what.

You never appreciated me,
none of you.

I gave you my life,
and you rejected me.

You can tell me
your sob story while walking.

Everybody get back!
There's C-4 in the basement.

Everybody back!

Wait, where's Rossi?

He was right behind me.

Dave!

He just let us out.
Why would he go back in?

We'll go out as heroes.

I'm not so sure
about that.

Zugzwang.

Morgan: It had to be

And sure enough,

coming right back at me
was the target.

And it was blasted
right through the chest.

The goggles come off...

and it's Strauss.

[Laughs] I mean,
I was like, what?

I would have never believed it
if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes.

That woman...

she was one hell

Um... do you guys

that it was somebody else?

Morgan: Oh, no.
That was funny.

Oh, maybe to you.
I was mortified.

Yes, she did.

That's my girl.

Hey, that was my line.

Yeah.

Last year, right here,

we had a...

very different celebration.

Of life,

of love,

and good people.

This year it's the, uh,
other side of that.

Because, well...

that's what families do.

It's been a hard year.

But tonight...

We celebrate
a life well lived...

Well loved...

To a good woman...

An even better mother...

To our friend...

Who I will miss very much.
