Criminal Minds (2005–…): Season 8, Episode 5 - The Good Earth - full transcript

The team attempts to find a common link among four missing men.

(birds singing)

(panting)

Hey.

Oh.

You scared me.

Sorry

I hit a wall.

Oh, oh, give me a second.

Well, our time's
almost up anyway.

Here, let me just show you

a couple of cool-down stretches.



Oh, next time.

You hired me
as your personal trainer, right?

Right.

Then here's your training lesson
for today.

Next time needs to be now time.

It's just...

I got some errands to run.

I'll see you Saturday.

- Hey, Terry.
- Yeah?

Pain is not gain.

Got it?

Got it.

(Terry sighs)

into high-pitched squealing)

squealing of song on radio)

(keys jingle,
music stops)

What do you mean,
he's not going?

Every kid loves
trick-or-treating.

Henry's scared.

One of his little buddies
told him Halloween

was the only time when
all the real monsters come out

because they can blend in.

Never thought about that.

Good monster strategy.

(chuckles) You did tell him
it wasn't true, right?

Of course I did,
but he's convinced.

ROSSI:
Childhood fears are resistant

to adult logic.

Sometimes you just have
to wait it out.

For how long?

Well, if he's 23,

and this still worries you,
you got a problem.

Well, see, the thing is,
I think I am partly to blame.

How?

Well, the other night,
Will and I were up late.

We were having some wine,

talking about some of the cases
we've worked on,

and at one point I said,

"it felt like there was no end

to all the monsters
walking around," and...

Henry sneaked into the room
to listen to the grown-ups.

Yeah, we need a cone of silence
for our house.

(chuckling)

Those of you
who like a good mystery,

please unleash
your inner Agatha Christie,

'cause this one's
a real humdinger.

Gary Ellard, Barry Deaver,
Paul Hicks, Terry Rogers.

Over the course
of the last month and a half,

these four men have gotten
in their cars

in La Grande, Oregon,
and drove

into the
never-to-be-seen-again-sville.

Poof, gone. The latest victim,

Terry Rogers,
disappeared 24 hours ago.

Forensic evidence
point us anywhere?

Uh, point would imply
there is evidence,

and there is no evidence,

at least
for the first three victims.

No forensics, no witnesses,
no ransom demands.

Maybe these guys
just voluntarily decided

to hit the road.

ROSSI: Four sudden
disappearances in a community

this small-- this isn't
about seeking greener pastures.

And based on last
known sightings, we're dealing

with a sizable geographic area.

He's efficient
and well-organized.

It's not easy
to make four people vanish

and stay vanished.

It has been done before, though.

Political kidnappings
frequently require

holding multiple adults
simultaneously.

Or they're already dead.

Nothing says "can't be found"

like a shallow grave
in the middle of nowhere.

BLAKE:
Or assuming they are alive,

how is the UnSub
controlling them?

And for what purpose?

HOTCH: And the time
between abductions has shortened

with each victim.
Wheels up in 30.

(moaning)

(moaning)

(moaning)

(muffled gasping)

REID: "I became insane
with long intervals

of horrible sanity."

Edgar Allen Poe.

Garcia, anything on
the last victim, Terry Rogers?

Only that he's unemployed

and lives in a cabin
in the woods,

but primitive,
like no-flush-toilet primitive.

MORGAN:
Well, that doesn't fit

the victimology
of the other three.

Ellard coaches track and field
at a local college,

Deaver's a small business owner,
and Hicks is an attorney.

All married with young families.

ROSSI: Another difference-
the first three victims

were all born and raised
in La Grande.

Terry Rogers only moved to town
a couple of months ago.

Do we know where from, Garcia?

Rhode Island,
though there's a five-month gap

between Terry being
in Rhode Island

and then arriving in Oregon.

Where he was and what he was
doing is a big, fat blank.

It says here that vomit
was found in the vicinity

of his abduction.

Mm, thank you for reminding me

of that disgusting detail,
dreamy D.

Yes, that vomit
has been collected

and is being analyzed
as we speak,

and I'm very grateful
that I have this job,

and someone has that one
that's not me.

Rogers is the obvious anomaly
of the four,

but there's no apparent overlap
between any of the victims.

BLAKE:
So, most likely, the UnSub was

selecting his targets at random.

HOTCH:
Blake, you and Morgan

go talk to the families
of the victims.

See if there's something that
links them that's not on paper.

Dave and I will go
to the abduction site.

Reid, you and JJ go
to Terry Rogers' cabin.

He's the one
we know least about.

Maybe he made himself obscure
for a reason.

(indistinct radio transmissions)

Sheriff, I'm Agent Hotchner,
this is Agent Rossi.

Sheriff Colwin.

I am glad

to have your help.

Best we can reconstruct it,

the victim's car veered off
the road at a low rate of speed,

plowed through the fence,
and ended up in the field.

He managed to get about
20 feet away before throwing up.

The, uh, photo showed
a second set of tracks.

Were you able to pull
a tread pattern?

Checking on it right now.

Maybe our guy got sick
and had to pull over.

Or he was forced off the road.

Either way,
the UnSub was following him.

Mrs. Deaver, did your husband
give any indication at all

that something might be wrong
the night he disappeared?

No, not at all.

Barry was supposed
to coach our son's

Little League game that night.

So he wasn't depressed,
preoccupied?

Nothing.

It was a day like any other day.

This is what happens
to other people.

You see it on the news,
you know,

give it, what,
30 seconds of your time,

shake your head,

go back to whatever stupid thing
you were doing--

washing dishes
or putting away laundry.

(voice breaking):
You never think

it's going to happen to you.

(Mrs. Deaver sniffles)

(phone rings)

Go ahead.
You're on speaker, Garcia.

GARCIA: Sir,
I just got the full lab report

for the...
you know, the regur...

for the puke,
and there's no toxins

or bacterial infections.

However, Terry Rogers did have
elevated levels

of melatonin in his system.

I'm sending you
the full lab report now.

On your phones.

Elevated?

His melatonin levels are
off the chart.

Is that significant?

- Well, it's a sedative.
- ROSSI: An amount

this large would induce
extreme drowsiness.

Do you think he might have
overdosed by accident?

No, no, this was no accident.
The victim was drugged.

Sheriff, the police report said
that there were

groceries in Roger's car.

- Do you know if he ate anything
out of the bags? -He didn't.

We compared
the supermarket receipt

to what was in the bags.
Nothing missing.

So, how did Rogers
unknowingly ingest

such a massive dose
of melatonin?

REID: You know,
aside from the outhouse,

this cabin isn't so primitive.

Okay, economics,

philosophy.

Political theory.

Not exactly breezy,
take-to-the-beach reading.

I would, but I don't really like
the beach.

Why's that?

REID:
Sandy food, pink skin,

limited
and unengaging topography,

but mostly
the drug-resistant bacteria

spread by seagull feces.

Sorry I asked.

You know,
there's a lot of material here

about global warming,
overcrowding,

the evils of technology.

There's no phone, no TV.

I wonder what
this guy does for fun.

I think maybe
I just found an answer.

Hmm.

Tread marks were inconclusive--
probably

from a pickup truck, though.

What's that?

The likely routes
our four victims took

on the day they disappeared.

Gary Ellard.

Apartment, DMV, was a no-show
for his morning class

at Eastern Oregon University.

Barry Deaver.

Home, gas station, never made it
to his karate group.

Paul Hicks.

Home, daughter's preschool,

doctor's appointment,

was supposed to meet
a client over here,

but he never showed,
and we already know about

- Terry Rogers.
- COLWIN: And

all this tells you what?

It's more about what
it doesn't tell us.

None of the lines intersect.

ROSSI:
Just had a chat

with Terry Rogers'
personal trainer.

She said he never talked
about his private life.

MORGAN: He's shelling out
for a personal trainer?

This is a guy
with no indoor plumbing.

She said he was dedicated.

Not in great shape,
but dedicated.

(muffled grunting)

(muffled grunting)

(phone ringing through)

Hey, you're talking
to the room, PG.

GARCIA:
Mm, if by PG, you mean,

"Parental guidance
strongly advised,"

I say P.A.-- "Prudent Advice."

Okay, here's what's happened.
I checked

all the employees and vendors
and delivery people

who work at the supermarket

where Terry Rodgers bought
his groceries,

and there are no red flags.

Also, Barry Deaver, the second
victim-- I found his car.

- Where?
- GARCIA: Impounded.

It was abandoned three weeks ago
on Fish Hatchery Road,

picked up by Gus's Towing
Service, where it has been

collecting dust and racking up
storage fees ever since.

Where's Fish Hatchery Road?

ROSSI: Off the beaten track,
like Terry Rodgers.

Looks like the UnSub's hunting
grounds are rural and remote.

MORGAN:
Well, to have ended up there,

Barry Deaver must have gone
on a diagonal north first,

and then headed west
towards his karate class.

So, did you learn anything?

Yeah, Spence here
does not like the beach.

I don't.

Terry Rodgers definitely wanted
to live off the grid.

A small generator
for minimal electrical needs,

no phone, no TV, no radio.

JJ:
And lots of material

about the evils of technology,

living healthy off the land,
that sort of thing.

Sounds like the Una-bomber.

We did find a small stash
of marijuana hidden away.

HOTCH:
Did you find any evidence

that a baby lived there
or visited there?

Uh, no. Why?

We just got the list
of, uh, things that

he bought at the supermarket.

Four jars of baby food?

A body matching Rodgers'
description was found in a river

ten miles out of town.

(indistinct shouting)

MAN:
Easy.

Easy.

(indistinct, distant shouting)

Right there.

Fisherman found him
washed up on a bank.

Other than ligature marks
on the wrists and ankles,

there's no signs of violence
or torture.

A lot of care was taken
with the killing and disposing

of the body.

Sedation and drowning.

We may have
to dramatically reassess

who the UnSub is.

What do you mean?

We might be looking for a woman.

(garbled radio transmission)

(birds singing)

Mommy?

Lexy!

- I told you never to come out
here by yourself. -I know,

-but I'm hungry.
- WOMAN: Stay away

from the barn. There's a lot
of dangerous equipment in there.

You could hurt yourself.

(sighs)

Go back to the house
and stay there.

I'll be there
to fix you something.

But I mean it. Stay there.

Okay.

(chains rattling)

(man breathing loudly)

(loud whirring of engine)

(soft groaning)

(soft groaning)

There's got to be something else
that links these victims.

ROSSI: They're all athletic.
Ellard teaches track and field.

Deaver has
a martial arts studio.

Paul Hicks had tendonitis from
playing competitive tennis.

But Rodgers' trainer said
that he was out of shape.

The medical examiner determined
Rodgers' time of death?

Three hours from when
he was found at the river.

-(phone ringing) -ROSSI: So,
the UnSub kept Rodgers

alive for the entire day
before drowning him.

HOTCH:
Go ahead, Garcia.

GARCIA:
Okay, uh, I've got something.

It's been really bugging me.
I can't figure out

what Terry Rodgers was doing
those missing five months.

I mean, you can't sit
on a park bench in this country

and not leave a paper trail.

But you figured it out.

No. That's just me venting.

What I did figure out

was what Terry Rodgers was doing
in Rhode Island

before he went AWOL. Check it.

He was married, divorced,
married again.

Currently way behind

on child support payments
to wife number two.

And that's all I know.

So, if you'll excuse me,
I have more digging to do.

BLAKE:
Owes child support. Could

explain why Rodgers vanished
for five months?

And why he lived off the grid--
hard to find.

And that's what links him
to the other victims.

They all fathered children.

We believe the UnSub that
we're looking for is a woman

who is highly organized.

She's thorough,
and she's patient.

Based on the complexity
and sophistication

of the abductions,
we think she's most likely

between the ages
of 30 and 40.

ROSSI :
She's familiar

with the rural areas
surrounding La Grande.

Either a native, or someone
who's lived there for a while.

MORGAN: We think
she's keeping her victims

in isolation
in the countryside.

Which means
she has access to land

or a structure that is remote,
hidden and private.

She is abducting exceptionally
health-conscious men.

Ideal specimens, if you will.

Specimens? For what?

Possible breeding.

HOTCH:
The ability to father children

is something we think she's
looking for in her victims.

They're all age-appropriate,
and they are all fathers.

COLWIN:
Then why kill the last victim?

REID: She may have seen him
as being flawed.

He was the least physically fit
of the four,

and neglected
to pay child support.

BLAKE:
Making him undesirable.

The victims may be surrogates
for a man

that she wants,
but she cannot have.

ROSSI: Because she killed
the last victim,

we have to consider
the possibility

that the UnSub is engaged
in some sort

of elimination process.

Preselecting a handful
of prime candidates,

and then whittling them
down one by one

until she has
her ideal breeding partner.

And if this is the case,
then the killing's just begun.

(crow cawing)

(sniffing)

(crow cawing)

(gasping)

LEXY:
Mommy, what's the matter?

WOMAN (over P.A.):
Extension 6213, extension 6213.

We got a frequent flier.

Which one?

The tomato lady.

WOMAN (over P.A.): Nursing
supervisor to front desk.

Nursing supervisor
to front desk.

I don't believe this.

- Dr. Gourse. -Hey, Emma.
- Thank God you're here.

Those other doctors don't know
understand my history.

Yeah. Hey, I thought we talked
about this last time.

Yeah, we did, but the
scleroderma came back. Look.

There's nothing on your arm.

It's-it's right there.

You treated me
after my husband died.

It's the same thing.

Yeah, your scleroderma
was treated successfully.

You are fine now.

But this could be a mutation.
Things mutate.

What about Stevens-Johnson
Syndrome?

Stevens-Johnson
is extremely rare,

and you'd have...
you'd have severe blistering

all over your face.

Now, look, we talked before
about how a delusion...

- I'm not crazy.
- Emma, listen to me.

Okay, there may be other issues
that are going on with you.

Did you contact the therapist
that I recommended?

I guess that's a no.

I'm still waiting on the full
M.E. report on Terry Rodgers.

They say they want to retest
some of the findings.

Did they say why?

No.

I recognize that scowl, Aaron.

What are you thinking?

Something Garcia said earlier
about not being able

to sit on a park bench
in this country

without leaving a paper trail.

And?

So, what if Rodgers wasn't
in the country

for those five months?

Wouldn't be the first time

someone crossed borders
to get away from troubles.

Guys, there's something
interesting

about this grocery list.

What?

Look at the items
he bought in bulk.

Garlic, green tea,
vitamin D, ginger.

All of these items

are specifically known
to boost the immune system.

What if Terry Rodgers
was seriously ill?

Uh, what about the baby food?

A side-effect
of radiation treatment

is sores inside the mouth.

In fact, doctors advise you to
eat the way an infant would eat.

- Chemotherapy?
- JJ: Marijuana in the cabin

-could have been medicinal.
- HOTCH: I'm gonna have Garcia

check medical facilities outside
the country, and Reid,

you and JJ go
to the medical examiner

and have them look specifically

for a preexisting condition
with Rodgers.

♪♪

Hotch, you were right.

Back in June,
Rodgers checked himself

into an experimental clinic
in Mexico. Cancer.

That's why the UnSub disposed
of him so quickly.

(birds singing)

MAN:
It was Hodgkin's Lymphoma.

JJ:
Did you find any

sedatives in his system?

The question is,

what sedatives didn't we find.

Melatonin, valerian, marijuana,

hops, catnip, kava-kava...

Bonemeal and kelp.

MAN: In the victim's stomach,
along with some

materials that we're retesting.

Take a look at the bottom.

"Sawdust residue caked
in the nostrils."

MAN:
Not just any sawdust.

Pure pinewood pellet sawdust.

REID:
It's usually imported

from China.
Was it a 0.5% mixture?

I don't know.

All I know is, um, it's not

your everyday,
spread-on-the-floor sawdust.

Yeah.

That was Reid.

They found a half dozen
natural sedatives

in Rodgers' system.

MORGAN: I don't get it.
The UnSub's drugging victims

and trusting
that they'll conk out

at the right place
at the right time.

Why not use a pharmaceutical
drug or poison?

ROSSI:
Which would be quicker

and a lot more reliable.

Natural holistic elements

must be important to her.

She may have health issues
of her own.

(cell phone rings)

- Go ahead, Garcia.
- GARCIA: I just hit

the trifecta, but with
two things instead of three.

What is that-- a-a bifecta?

Exacta. What do you got?

Well, that doesn't...

Anyway, uh, two missing vehicles
not missing anymore.

Paul Hicks' car

was found
by some utility workers

an hour ago where it rolled off
into a ravine.

And Gary Ellard's car was picked
up on a speeding violation

in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho.

- Idaho?
- GARCIA: Stolen

by some kids ten days ago
in La Grande.

The car was just sitting
by the side of the road,

keys in the ignition.

They made a typically sound
teenage decision.

Decided to take it
on a cross-state joyride.

Garcia, I need
to know the exact spot

where the vehicles were
originally found.

GARCIA:
On it.

(keyless entry beeps)

(indistinct chatter)

(indistinct chatter)

All right, based on
what we just got,

this is the revised best guess

on the victim's routes
the days they were abducted.

JJ: Two intersect here,
the other two here.

And this is where Terry Rodgers
bought his groceries.

BLAKE:
It looks like Paul Hicks

might have gone there
after his doctor's appointment.

Now what was at the intersection
where Deaver and Ellard crossed?

HOTCH:
That's a shopping center with

a dozen or so businesses.
We're getting a list right now.

One of our deputies sighted
an abandoned car

on the outskirts of town.

There was a second set
of tire tracks behind it

that matched those found at
Terry Rodgers' abduction site.

Vehicle's registered
to Cheryl Winslow,

4801 Davenport Avenue.

(garbled radio transmission,
indistinct chatter)

These are all
from a baby shower.

We contacted her husband.

She's due in three weeks.

If this is our UnSub,

taking a pregnant woman would be
a huge shift in victimology.

We profiled, she was abducting
the men as breeders.

But why take someone else's baby

if you're planning
on having your own?

Maybe she can't have one,
or she lost one.

Okay, so this-this isn't
about fertility.

But the experience these men
would bring as fathers.

Could she be building a family?

(crying)

(crying continues)

(muffled speech)

What are you doing?

(screams)

Keep still.

Oh, my God!

(screaming)

(knife buzzing)

WOMAN:
Prep and get her to O.R. three.

HOTCH:
Doctor, is she gonna make it?

There's been massive blood loss.

She was given a C-section
with a serrated-edge knife

and crudely stitched back up.

We found her and the baby
in our parking lot.

- How's the baby?
- The child is fine.

It's her I'm worried about.

Excuse me.

(laughs)

Touch and go for a while,
but she's going to make it.

Thank God.

It was a crude stitch-up job,

but functional--
probably what saved her life.

Whoever did this had
some practice somewhere.

You think there'd be any way
we could talk to her?

It's very important.

I'm sorry, but the next

24 hours are critical.

- She's heavily sedated.
- I understand.

Her husband's here.

Excuse me.

WOMAN (over P.A.):
Miss Davis, report to Admitting.

Our UnSub removed the baby,

then returned mother
and child to a hospital.

Baby wasn't due
for three more weeks.

If the UnSub's trying to put
together the perfect family,

maybe a premature infant
isn't good enough.

Let's hope not.

That means she'll go out looking
for a healthier baby now.

Mommy?

(chains jangling)

Mommy?

(grunting)

(door rattling)

(muffled shout)

(bucket rattling)

(grunting)

Lexy, get down from there!

(bucket rattling)

(Whimpers)

(groans)

(phone beeps)

That was Hotch.

The doctor told him
the placenta was scraped

completely out
of the victim's uterus.

- Mm.
- Every bit of it.

REID:
Well, the placenta does carry

special significance
in many cultures.

In ancient Egypt,
it had its own hieroglyph.

And the Ibo tribe in Nigeria

consider it to be
the child's dead twin.

Well, that would be helpful
if our UnSub was

an ancient Egyptian

or Ibo tribeswoman, but...

I can hear
the high-pitched whine

from the IQ all the way
over here. What is it?

It can be plancentophagy.

What?

Consuming it.
In the wild, it's common

for animals to eat
their own afterbirth.

It's super rich in nutrients.

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

So the UnSub might have
harvested this last victim

for food?

Here.

No! Please, Mommy, no.

(Crying):
No, please, Mommy.

I promise I won't go
to the barn again, I promise.

This is not punishment.

I'm trying to keep you healthy.

No!

No!

(yelling)

What's wrong with you?!

You have any idea
what I did to get that

-for us?
-(Lexy whimpers)

(grunting)

(Lexy cries)

It's ruined.

I'm sorry.

(Lexy sobs)

- Oh, I'm sorry
I yelled at you... -(Lexy cries)

but...

(sighs)

Mommy?

It's about food.

Herbal sedatives, gruel
and now the placenta.

GARCIA (groaning):
And F.Y.I.--

there's no record of anyone
in La Grande buying

that weird kind of sawdust
the M.E. found.

I'll widen the search.

We still need
to figure out how

this UnSub was able
to drug all these men.

Southeast intersect
doesn't get us much.

Laundromat, video rental store.

ROSSI:
The other intersect is

the supermarket, but none

of the employees
recognized Paul Hicks.

He never shopped there.

Garcia, what day of the week

-were each of the victims
abducted? -GARCIA: Uh.

Let me see.
Gary Ellard on a Monday,

Barry Deaver on a Saturday,
Terry Rodgers

and Paul Hicks,
both on a Thursday.

Is there anything special
that happens

in the vicinity
of the market on Thursdays?

GARCIA:
Uh...

Wow, you've done this
before, haven't you?

Yeah, there's a farmers market
across the street

from the supermarket
every Thursday morning.

And where is it today?

GARCIA:
Pendleton, about 40 miles

north on Interstate 84.

I'm sending Blake and Morgan.

WOMAN:
Yeah, it's over there.

(indistinct, overlapping
crowd chatter)

Enjoying your melatonin bar?

(Morgan chuckles)

Jobs making you paranoid, Blake.

Well, apparently, a lot
of people work this market.

It's not like everybody else
knows everybody else.

I'm gonna get a list of vendors
and launch Garcia anyway.

You can see how
it happened, though.

Yeah, Terry Rodgers got
his groceries,

made his way back to his car.

BLAKE: Grabbed a power drink
on his way home.

MORGAN: He drank it...
and then, he tossed it.

Now the melatonin's

in his system with no evidence
of where it came from.

(sighs)

Hey, what do you got?

- Full toxicology report.
- And?

Unlike any tox panel
I've ever seen before.

JJ:
They found gypsum?

REID: And gypsum's
rich in sulfur,

a vital plant nutrient.

JJ: She's feeding
her captives soil additives?

REID: Seed meals, too.
Look-- cotton, flax.

(hacking)

(coughing)

Please, stop. Ple...

Please, please, please.

- Come on.
- No, stop.

(groaning)

It's animal feed.

Why would you treat

a human being like livestock?

People raise cattle to eat.

The UnSub might be using
the placenta as food,

but nothing in the profile
suggested cannibalism.

I mean, unless the sawdust

they found
in Terry Rodgers' nose...

- What about it?
- REID: When livestock die,

animal carcasses turn
into a useful soil amendment

through the aerobic
biodegradation process.

- Like compost?
- Exactly.

You need to add a substrate
high in carbon to balance

the nitrogen, and one
of the most efficient substrates

on earth is pure sawdust.

She's using her victims
as human fertilizer.

How are you feeling, honey?

(Whimpers)

This won't hurt you.

I made it all
from roots and herbs.

All it does is help you take
a little nap.

And when you wake up,

you'll be the beautiful
little girl that you are.

Okay, put your arms
around my neck.

How are we doing
with the farmers market

background search?

Not good. Turns out that people
who grow organic rutabagas

are loosey-goosey
about punching in a time clock.

Sheriff, if we expand the search
of the second intersection

by a few square blocks,

would we find any markets
or restaurants?

COLWIN:
There's a health food

co-op three blocks away.

The soil will heal you.

Sheriff, the surgeon
who operated on Cheryl Winslow

said that whoever did
the C-section

might have done one before.

If she did,
we never heard about it.

Nothing like this
has ever happened in La Grande.

MORGAN:
Well, we can keep looking,

expand the search radius
to nearby towns.

Or look at farms.

My grandparents had a farm
in Pennsylvania.

Once, my grandmother had
to deliver a calf

by C-section to a cow
that was in distress.

-(phone rings)
- Go ahead, Garcia.

I have got something.
Emma Kerrigan.

She runs a small juice
and vegetable stand

at the farmers market,
and she works part-time

giving out free samples
at the health food co-op.

I'm sending you her picture now.

Sounds like our UnSub.

Where does she live?

Uh, Piping Rock Farms,
west of town with 100 acres,

belonged
to her husband's family.

Wait. She has a husband?

Had. Died
in a car accident a year

and a half ago, leaving her
and a ten-year-old daughter.

Let's go.

GARCIA: I've got more info
on Emma Kerrigan.

30 E.R. visits
in the past six months.

Big time hypochondriac.
Coworkers said she didn't

eat anything
unless she grew it herself.

To be fair, she did have
an actual skin disease

a couple years ago--
scleroderma.

Garcia,
did the E.R. visits coincide

with the death of the husband?

Uh, no. She was sick with
the scleroderma when he died.

Cleared up a few months later.
The E .R. visits

didn't kick in
until the following year.

(sirens wailing,
engine revving)

Please...

(groaning)

(engine revving)

BLAKE:
Clear.

Clear!

Clear.

What's that?

HOTCH :
Garcia, what happened

to Emma Kerrigan's
husband's body

after he died?

Uh... cremated.

And what happened to the ashes?

Obit says they were planning on

spreading his ashes
in the family garden

throughout the four seasons--
renewal,

cycle of life, rejuvenation,
that kind of thing.

Garcia, you got a map
of the farm? Place

this size--
we need to narrow the search.

I got the satellite image.

There's two groups of buildings.
Then, there's

a small square patch
next to a barn

-that could be a private garden.
- All right, let's go.

♪♪

Hotch,

back garden.

MORGAN:
Emma Kerrigan, FBI.

Put your hands
where I can see them.

Emma, put that knife down.

No, my daughter needs this.
Look...

Look at her.

- (Emma sighs)
- HOTCH: Put it down so we can

get her the help she needs.

My daughter will be dead
by then.

BLAKE:
We believe you, Emma.

I can see how sick she is.

I talked to your doctor.

Dr. Gourse?

You-you-you talked
to Dr. Gourse?

Yes, he said

Lexy's too sick
for this to work.

This man's blood
won't do anything.

(sobs)

(Crying):
But it...

(sniffles)
It has to.

It's all I have left.

BLAKE:
No.

No, what can cure Lexy

is what cured you.

(sighs)

Funeral homes
are required by law

to keep a portion
of the remains

of those that they cremate.

These are your husband's ashes.

Only these

will make your daughter well.

(Emma laughs)

Those are his?

(Emma laughs)

Oh. It's a miracle.

It's a miracle.

Not bad, Blake.

(sighs)

Not bad at all.

(man groaning)

Took a chance.

I mean,

I saw a fireplace there.

(indistinct radio transmission)

(sighs)

Alfred Austin said,

"Show me your garden,

and I shall tell you
what you are. "

I assume you're not
trick-or-treating, either?

(sighs) None of my treats seem
to want to call me back, Rossi.

-(Morgan chuckles)
- Then I'm buying dinner.

I'm in.

JJ:
Uh, excuse me,

everybody. I have
an announcement to make.

As I'm sure some of you
were aware,

Henry was a little nervous

about going trick-or-treating
this year,

but he's decided to go anyway.

Great. What changed his mind?

The BAU did.

I told him that he should go out

on Halloween and try to figure
out which monsters are real

and which ones are not.

So he wants to be a profiler?

Ah, he wants

to be his favorite profiler.

REID:
Whoa!

Yeah!

Oh, wow.

You look great, Henry.

Let me put this on you.

MORGAN:
Now he's official.

Yeah.

(whispering):
Tell him.

E equals MC squared!

- MORGAN: Oh, there it is!
- Wonderful!

- Yeah.
- BLAKE: Well, the monsters

-don't stand a chance.
- JJ: Oh.

I know. Should we go get you
some candy?

Come on.

(JJ whoops)

Watch your back, pretty boy.

(Morgan chuckles)
