Criminal Minds (2005–…): Season 9, Episode 3 - Final Shot - full transcript

And it's another gorgeous day
here in the big d.

Go out and get some fresh
air on a day like today.

Tomorrow is not gonna work.

I want those files
on my desk by...

Man: My doctor said I can't
eat meat, I can't eat
wheat or dairy.

So I don't know what
the hell I'm I'm gonna eat.

You are
such a chicken.

The one time he looked
at you, you actually ran
in the opposite direction.

Because our boss
was calling me.

Personally, I don't know
what you see in him.

Uh, he's incredibly hot?



I think he's kind of creepy.

All those programmers
are weird.

Creepy in a cool way.

Oh, my god, there he is.

So, go invite him
to lunch.

I can't.

Ok, fine, I will.

No, you won't.

Watch me.

Hi, axel, I'm brooke,
one of the interns in--

[gunshot]

[gunfire]
aah!

[gunfire continues,
people screaming]

Nothing's wrong, will.
It's just work.



Yeah, I love you, too.
I'll talk to you
as soon as I can.

Don't know. Just heard
we're leaving now.

There's been a mass
sniper shooting in dallas.

Still unclear.
3 confirmed deaths so far.

We don't know much
beyond that.

First the boston marathon,
then the cleaver incident
in london.

We're also coming upon
the 50th anniversary

Of the assassination
of jfk,

Which also took place
in dallas.

Right now we have to
consider everything.
Garcia, I need a list

Of all acts of civil unrest
in texas in the last few years.

Local fbi's on the scene.
Copy that.

We'll take the lead
when we get there.

Be safe.

Continuing our breaking
story now at archer plaza,
first responders...

American has become a land
of gun-toting lunatics.
How many more children...

The real problem is,
no one cares. This--

This will be in the news
until the next reality
star has a baby.

America has something called
the constitution...

Police still have no idea
who the shooter was.

This is what we do know.
Shots were fired
at archer plaza

By an unseen sniper
at 12:27 p.M.

Every floor of
the surrounding buildings...

3 people
are confirmed dead,

But authorities are
trying to determine

If this was possibly
a domestic terrorist attack

Stay with us as this story
continues to unfold.

[beeping]

It's worse than we thought.
5 confirmed dead,

This is agent mays.
She's in charge of reviewing
surveillance footage.

These gentlemen
are from the bau.
Ssas hotchner and rossi.

We understand there were
12 shots fired?

Yes, that's right.
At 0.8-second intervals.

So this entire thing
was over in 10 seconds.

Well, I'm still looking.
Based on the trajectory,

We know that he was shooting
from a high vantage point.

Unfortunately, none of the
camera angles caught that.

But we do think
he was shooting from
the north end of the plaza.

Area's been sealed off.

Going 4 by 4
through each building.

Shooter's gotta be
long gone by now.

Well, they run the gamut.
The only thing that's consistent

We should monitor social
media for any leads.

We'll do that,
but in my opinion,

Nothing beats good
old-fashioned investigating.

No argument here.

Agents may, why don't you
head on down,

Help the bau in the plaza.

What do we know
about the victims?

Let me show you.

The first victim
was axel greiner,

Computer programmer.

Daniel bukowski,
assistant d.A.

Alice emerson
was a social worker.

Melanie chen,
financial advisor.

Ricardo hernandez,
a sales manager.

Kyle yates, the final victim,

Is the one that's still
alive and in surgery.

He was a waiter at
the golden oaks grill.

Victimology
is across the board.

Random targets
would be consistent

But we should still
look into backgrounds.

We're on that. First victim
used to be a hacker.

We're focusing on him.

You receive any general
threats recently?

Of an al-qaeda nature?

What about left- or
right-wing extremists,

Perhaps to commemorate
an anniversary?

We've had an uptick in crazy
calls and letters recently.

Do you think this is connected?

Well, the shots
happened at 12:27.

Kennedy was killed
at 12:30.

The locations are close.

Can't ignore the coincidence.

Maybe after 50 years
someone's making a statement.

What are you doing here?

Did you hear about
the shooting?

They're closing in.
We have to go. Now.

[indistinct chatter]

Agent morgan.
Agent jareau.

Hi.

12 shots were fired?

That's right.

It sounds like an amateur.

Well, 6 people were hit.

During a crowded lunch hour
with a high-powered rifle,

At a range of 200 yards,
an average joe

Could have hit
that many people.

Trained snipers hit
98% of their targets.

What about the shots
that missed?

Did you locate
all those rounds?

Only two so far.
One was in a tree,

One was lodged
in a planter.

There's something up there.

It looks like it came from
a large-caliber rifle.

Can I get that extracted?

So this guy hit a building
12 feet up in the air?

Mays: He had terrible aim,
or he was just spraying
his gunfire.

The victims are spread
throughout the plaza.

Is that the one
who's still alive?

Mays:
Yeah. That's kyle yates.

Based on the position
of his body,

He was facing north.

If he was the last one shot,

He may have actually
seen something.

[panting]

Colin, slow down.
I have to stop.

Just wait. Are you sure
this is about us?

Without a doubt.
We are being hunted.

If we don't run,
we won't survive.

Now let's go.

I already told the other agents
everything I remembered.

But sometimes details
come back to people

Hours or even days
after the event.

Brooke, if you
wouldn't mind,

Try closing your eyes
and just listening
to my voice.

You're walking across
the plaza.

How does it feel outside?

It's really nice.
Warm, but not too hot.

All right.
Where are you going?

To get burgers with casey.
I'm annoyed.

'cause casey's bugging me.

But then I see axel.

What happens next?

I walk up and say hi.

And then...

What do you see?
[gunshot]

No, I'm sorry.
I can't do this.

All right, it's all right.
We'll stop.

I saw him dead.
It was awful. I...

Uh...I'm so sorry.

But you're ok.
You're safe.

I didn't remember
until your partner
was talking to brooke.

There was a guy
in a window up high.

What did he look like?

He was white and bald,

But it was far away
and just for a second

It could have been
the shooter, right?

Excuse me.

[clears throat]

Kyle yates, the sixth
victim, just died.

Homeland security's
interviewing locals
on their watch list.

[cell phone rings]
and all the bureau's
resources

Are at our disposal.

We don't hear that too often.

Go ahead, garcia.

You know I love
a juicy conspiracy

And I am still convinced
that there was a second
shooter on that grassy knoll.

But try as I might,
I can't find anything
connecting today's shooting

What about the increase
in calls and letters
to the dallas office?

I have checked all
the assassination buffs
and conspiracy theorists,

Including myself,
and I'm sort of sad to say
we're all in the clear.

Oh, that. Well, I have
a treasure trove of
terrible tidbits for you.

Uh, let's see.
In 2009 was that awful thing

At fort hood where
the u.S. Army psychiatrist
killed 13 people.

If you fast-forwarded this
past March,

The head of colorado's
prison system was killed
in his home.

That led to a police chase
that ended in texas,

Where authorities
killed the suspect,

Who was a white supremacist,
in a shootout.

Rossi: Anything more recent?

Yes, yes, there is.
3 months ago

A dallas black councilman,
adrian clay,

Witnesses claim the man
responsible is the head
of the southern aryans.

His name is adam dawson,
aka the general.

Meanwhile the general
is in jail serving time
for a totally unrelated charge.

Yes, of course.
Hutch: Thanks, garcia.

That's a lot of activity
for the white supremacists.

They may be waging
a new kind of war.

Great view from up here.

Yeah. These aren't
the kind of windows that
open at all, though.

Uh, how long has this space
been under renovation?

Building manager
said about 3 weeks.

Hey, ladies.
Take a look at this.

Ah. Huh.

Smooth lines,
made by a glass cutter.

The sniper could have
shot right through here.

It's the perfect location.
He could have walked
in and out as a worker.

And he carried
his weapon in a toolbox
or a supply container.

Except it was 12:27
and they would have been
on their lunch break.

Morgan:
Which means he scoped out
this location beforehand.

[cell phone rings]

The analysis is back
on the bullets
found in the plaza.

The lands and grooves
tell us they were fired

From a .308 nemesis.

It's a semi-automatic
rifle.

Same type of weapon
used in the murder

So maybe the southern aryans
are waging a war against
the general population?

Daniel bukowski,
was prosecuting the head
of the southern aryans

So today's shooting
could have been a follower
who wanted revenge.

Or it was a hit
called by the leader,

Who, by the way,
denies he's even
a member of the group.

He claims to have quit
well before
the councilman's murder,

Well, I think it's time
to have a little talk
with the general.

Yeah, I admit I was
once affiliated with
the southern aryans,

But that was a mistake
and it was a long time ago.

Look. I even had
my tattoos removed.

Do you know why we're here?

Well, I imagine
it's about the murder

Of that councilman
adrian clay,

Which I swear
I had no involvement in.

Are you still in contact
with members of
the southern aryans?

Ma'am, I'm in prison.

[laughs]

My opportunities to, uh,

Socialize
are somewhat limited.

Well, that's not
what we heard.

Rumor has it
you're in charge.

In fact, you're still known
as the general.

Some folks would
like to imbue me

With a great deal of power,

But it's a mantle
I choose not to accept.

So you could
call the shots.

You just choose not to?

How can I lead
when I no longer believe?

Huh.

Well, we're wasting
our time here.

I just have
a few more questions.

No, really, let's just go.

No, no, hey. Hey.

It'll only take a second.

What do you know
about today's events?

You must have heard
about the shooting?

Enlighten me.

The assistant d.A.
Prosecuting you

For the murder of the black
councilman was killed.

Did you order that hit?

I had nothing
to do with it.

Because you're not
racist anymore?

Mr. Dawson,
I can't tell you

How impressed I am
with you.

So I'd like
to shake your hand

And congratulate you
for making such a positive
change in your life.

I'd be really careful,

Because somebody might think
you still believe.

[door buzzes]

The guy had no idea.

I mean, he's racist as hell,

But he did not have
the assistant d.A. Killed.

He was way too surprised
when we broke the news.

He was way too angry at us
to even be happy about it.

This is the only case
the assistant d.A.
Was trying.

He has not other
know enemies,

Which means he wasn't
the specific target.

Ok, well, who else uses
a .308 rifle?

Hunters, the minutemen,
housewives.

Which unfortunately
doesn't narrow down
the field.

Well, the 6 bullets
that didn't hit people
have all been found.

They were in the cafe
sign, planters,
and a couple of trees.

It all points to him
not being a very good shot.

Or maybe
he's a great shot.

According to the doctors
at the hospital,

All 6 victims
were hit with kill shots

Directly to the head,
base of neck, and heart.

The sixth victim
only survived because
of an anatomic anomaly.

He had a reversed heart,
but the bullet still
tore through major arteries

So what seems to be
disorganized shooting

Is actually organized
and intentional.

A forensic countermeasure?

Mm-hmm. To make law
enforcement believe

The unsub's not
a specially-trained
shooter.

Which means the victims
weren't random at all.

So if it wasn't the attorney,
who's the real target?

[line ringing]

I sent what you wanted.
Tell me my family is safe.

[gunfire]

[screaming, shouting]

[gunfire continues]

[sirens]

[indistinct police radio]

There are 3 victims, but
a witness said that they
heard more than 7 gunshots.

I don't think we're
dealing with a terrorist.

We passed a mall
less than a half mile away.

Well, a mall presents a
target-rich environment
for a terrorist

And if that was his aim,
he would have been
more effective there.

So choosing this gas station
instead means what?

He must have been
going after a specific
person or people.

We should be trying
to make a connection

Considering the position
of the bodies and the fact
that no one saw him,

He had to be shooting
from over there.

[horn honking]

The easiest way to stay
hidden would have been
from the back of a van

Or the trunk of a car
parked here.

Like the d.C. Snipers
in '02.

A smart move
would have been

To stay put for a while
after all the mayhem.

Driving off right away would
have just drawn attention.

How much variation
is there in the
traffic pattern here?

This is it. It's pretty much
the same all the time,

Except in the middle
of the night maybe.

So the unsub had to time
his shot to the quarter second

To shoot between traffic
and the gas pumps

And he did it
from a concealed position.

He's better than good.
He's a sharpshooter.

Where are we?

A safe place to hide
for now.

Load the mag.

Release the safety.

Aim, shoot.

What are we doing here?

Waiting for mr. Doe.
He's gonna extract us.

What's his first name?

John.

John as in john doe?

His name doesn't matter.

In my line of work,
I don't trust anyone.

But he'll help us
in the situation.

What are you doing?

Locking the window.

I don't regret
what I did, you know?

I'm not here to judge.

A month ago
I didn't even know you,

And now look at us,
hiding out together.

You must blame me
for dragging you into this.

It was all worth it,
wasn't it, for a chance
at real happiness?

It's not for me to say.

But if you cross
powerful people,

There are consequences.

You don't have to
do this, you know.

It's too late.
I'm tied to you now,

Which means they are
hunting me, too.

What if there was something--

[sounds outside door]

I thought you said
this place was safe.

But the people coming
after us are the best.

We're looking for an ldsk,
or a long distance
serial killer.

He's a very skilled marksman
with a god complex.

Morgan: He derives pleasure
out of remaining unseen

And determining the fates
of people from afar.

He's criminally
sophisticated
and methodical,

Concealing his method
of ingress and egress,

Leaving little
evidence behind
in his sniper perches.

Blake: This suggests
a great deal of experience,

So this unsub has a military
or law enforcement background,

His victims at first
appear to be targets
of opportunity,

But it now appears that
one or more of them
are targets of choice.

The remaining victims
are collateral damage

To be used as a forensic
countermeasure,

Similar to what john allen
muhammad and lee boyd malvo

Did with the d.C.
Sniper case in 2002.

This means there's
some unknown connection

Between one or more
victims at the first
and second crime scenes.

What about the caucasian male
the eyewitness saw at the plaza?

It's something
to consider, but
we can't rule out others.

We know that the unsub
is likely in his late
30s to 40s

In order to have
the means and patience

To plan and execute
these attacks.

Hotch: If he still has
specific targets,

It's likely he won't
wait long to attack,

So the public needs
to remain vigilant.

You never told me why
you left south africa.

I was betrayed by people
I thought were my friends.

I was labeled a traitor
and hung out to dry.

Don't you get lonely
doing this work?

I have the network,
my business alliances.

Like mr. Doe.

We'll take turns
keeping watch.

Do you know how?

Look out a window?

It's not that easy.

There's actually
a skill to it.

You need to be able
to identify everything

In your field of vision
in two seconds.

What are you
looking for?

Close your eyes.

Why?

Just do it.

What's this about?

Ok. Open them.

Tell me exactly what you saw.

Small objects.
Household things.

Describe them.

What color?
A button.

What else?
Red.

Describe the objects.

Color and size.

A paperclip.

Color and size.

There was also
a blue rubber band,
maybe 4 inches long.

What else?

I can't remember
anything else.

That's 3 out of 10.

You need to do better
than that

Or you'll get us
both killed.

Blake: We know the unsub
had a specific target,
but who was it?

Well, we checked out
ricardo hernandez.

Melanie chen,
who's appealing
a custody decision.

Beside the assistant d.A.,
no one seems to have
any clear enemies.

All right, let's look
at this a different way.

The plaza was an open space.

That his target
couldn't get away.
How would he ensure that?

Kill his real target first.

Would focus more
on his first victim
than the others,

Which your office
definitely did.

You know, the fact is,

This is
an experienced sniper

Who can account for timing.

After the first shot,
no one moves.

Everyone's reaction
is to look for a source
of the sound.

[gunshot]

[muted shouting]

After the second shot,
it takes the average person

One and a half seconds
to cognitively process

That they're in a potentially
life-threatening situation.

It takes another .7 seconds
for a physical response
to kick in.

[muted shouting]

By which time the third shot
has already been fired.

So the unsub wanted
victim number 3.

Well, anyone after
number 3 had a chance
of getting away,

And the unsub wouldn't
have taken that risk.

Victim number 3--
alice emerson, 44,

Social worker, married
with a 12-year-old son.

Husband's been
too distraught to talk.

Well, blake and I can see
if he's ready to talk now.

The last 8 years
she worked at a women's
shelter downtown.

That can't be
the easiest of jobs.

Let's see if her boss
can shed some light.

Alice seemed anxious
this morning.

I asked her about it
and she said her mother

Was having a medical
procedure done.

So being stressed was out
of the ordinary for her?

Well, I won't lie.
Working here does take
an emotional toll.

Escaping an abusive
situation

Can be incredibly
difficult.

I imagine your job's
frustrating.

The victims are a mess,

Physically, emotionally,

And they often go back
to their abuser.

The fact is
most employees burn out.

They don't work here
more than a few years.

It sounds like alice
was the exception.

What exactly
did her job entail?

She was the point
of first contact.

If a woman was committed
to leaving her abuser,

Alice would funnel them
to a community angel.

I take it that's somebody
who provides them
a temporary home?

They may help create
a new identity
for the client.

I'm assuming the secrecy
is to protect them
from their abusers?

The men that they're
escaping can be
incredibly violent

And vindictive.

A whole network
has been created

To help protect
these women.

Sort of like
an underground railroad.

I just work
at the starting point.

I don't even know
all the players
in the network.

The police have been through
her email and her cell phone

And it seems they've been
completely wiped clean.

Does that have anything
to do with this job?

Broke into our computers
and found the location
of his girlfriend

And the community angel
she was staying with

Before committing suicide.

Living with that type
of secrecy

Is a nightmare
for everyone involved.

But I...Get why
they have to do it.

You ok?

For a moment there
you looked kind of worried.

Spence, I'm not worried
about anything except
maybe solving this case.

It's too bad all those emails
and texts are gone forever.

Um, I'm sorry, have you
ever met penelope garcia?

Alice emerson's husband
said they live a quiet life.

But this morning before
the shooting, she was
acting preoccupied.

When he asked her
what was bothering her,

She said it was
something at work.

Yet her boss claims
she was worried

About a medical procedure
her mom was having.

[cell phone rings]

Recovering all of alice
emerson's texts and emails.

That company that runs
chat alert is damn good
at scrambling their data.

And although I am as fast as
hot lightning, my server is not

Because it needs updating,
so if someone with
great hair and a tie

Could approve the funding
to update such server,

We could get this show
on the road and I could--

Put in a requisition,
garcia.

Thank you, sir.
Filing form 9093b now.

I am familiar with it
and the void it disappears into.

Ok. I did manage to piece
together alice's last text.

It was sent at 11:40,
which is less than an hour
before the shooting.

It's a doozy.
It was sent to a prepaid
cell phone and it is this:

You lost me.
We're talking about
alice emerson.

I know. And that's
the text she sent,
that name, rebecca schroeder.

She's the second shooting
victim at the gas station.

Yeah. Rebecca is an econ
professor at east texas college.

Although she does have
a sister who lives
in austin with 5 kids,

That she's close to.
She has season tickets
to the opera.

According to
her credit card record,
she doesn't even own a pet.

Any idea where alice
and rebecca's paths
might have crossed?

No. I ran a cursory search
and I've come up with nada.

What if rebecca schroeder
was a community angel?

If she was part of the network
that shelters abused women,

The unsub could be looking
for someone they both helped.

Alice was the first contact
for an abused woman,

But the unsub needed to know
who the woman was handed off to.

If they didn't give him
the information that he wanted.

After they did,
he killed them anyway

To bury the evidence
and cut off the trail.

If alice gave up rebecca's name,
rebecca may have also given up
something vital to the unsub.

Thanks, garcia.

A green clothespin,
2 1/2 inches,

A silver pen, 5 inches,

And a one-inch
gold bullet.

9 out of 10.

I'd say you're ready.

[sighs]

I think it's gonna rain.

It's nighttime.
How can you tell?

You can smell it
in the air.

It reminds me of when
I was a little girl

Sitting on the veranda
with my mother
watching it pour.

Ah. You're the nostalgic type.

You're not?

I am a cold pragmatist.

I should have died
a long time ago.

It's the one thing
that's kept me alive.

Your husband is
the unrelenting sort.

The world is full
of different people.

To thrive, you have to
accept who you are.

Colin.

Someone's out there.

They've found us.

Rebecca was a single woman
living in a 3-bedroom house,

Yet she converted
this walk-in closet
into another bedroom.

Well, jj was right.

She's most likely
a community angel.

A woman on the run
would want to stay
as hidden as possible.

An interior room like this
would make someone feel safe,

So they stayed here
until what?

Huh. Probably until
they had a new identity.

Look. They changed
their appearance here.

So, where was the next stop?

So I followed up with some of
the other social workers

At the women's shelter,
and it turns out
that rebecca schroeder

She helped out
3 battered women
in the last 6 months.

Garcia's looking in
on names.

Oh, look at that.
Speak of the devil.

[ring]

Hey. Talk to me,
baby girl.

I've been reading
these heinous things

That have happened
to these women

And can I just say,
thank god for men like you

Who are strong,
yet gentle at the same time--

Ok. Guess what.
I'm about to put you
on speaker.

Maybe you want to
stick to the facts.

One has a boyfriend
who is serving time in jail
for drug possession.

One of them has an ex
who has been working on
an oil rig for the last month.

But the third woman
has a husband
who fits our profile.

Her name is maya carcani,
and her husband eric,

Uh, that's a private
quasi-military security firm?

Yeah. He's been accused
of assaulting maya
on two separate occasions.

Both times charges were dropped.

Then 6 weeks ago
eric reported maya missing.

He recanted last week
when he said maya called him

From the east coast
where her family lives.

And then he came up
with a plan to hunt
her down and kill her.

And now he wants the cops
off the case.

Thank you.

So the neighbor described
rebecca schroeder
as standoffish.

The neighbor said that she
stopped by a couple times
to be friendly

Well, how could she,
what with her practically
hiding fugitives?

The neighbor also said
she never had any visitors

Except for
a speedy send courier.

Because the courier
would back the truck
up to the garage

And stay for half an hour.

I think the neighbor
may have just identified

The next step
in the escape route.

What do we do?
Where the hell
is mr. Doe?

When? We can't
wait any longer.

What are our chances
if he comes in here
and shoots us?

He won't come in here.

I know how
these guys are trained.

He'll wait for us
to come out.

[cell phone rings]

[line ringing]

I'm sorry,
mr. Carcani isn't answering.

He must still be on
the helicopter.

Oh. Do you know
where he's coming from?

Houston.

How long has he been there?

Since yesterday morning.

Is mr. Carcani
in some sort of trouble?

No. No.

About some potential
business for his firm.

[bell dings]

Isn't that--

Eric carcani?

Fbi.

Stop or I'll shoot!

[brakes squeal]

Eric? Eric?

Eric. Where's your wife?

Where's maya?

Tell me where she is,
eric.

No. No, no, no, hey!
Eric, talk to me.

Tell me where she is!

Eric, where is she?!

Morgan.

He's dead.

Son of a bitch.

He didn't need to.
Eric carcani's alibi
totally checks out.

He was in houston
at a training seminar

During the time
of both shootings,

And several witnesses
verified that.

Well, black cross is
known to be shady.

He knew that a visit
from the bureau

Wasn't gonna be
a good thing.

A guy who works for
a paramilitary company

I don't know, he knew
something about his wife.

The way he smiled at me
before he died, he was smug.

It's like he was
trying to say, you're
not gonna find her in time.

Well, it's the classic
psychology of the
narcissistic abuser.

You know, we may be
looking at two unsubs.

He hired someone to kill her.

He's smart enough
to distance himself.

What else do we know
about him, garcia?

He served in that country's
armed forces.

He moved to the United States
for school when he was 23.

And he's worked
for black cross
ever since graduation.

Given black cross
associations,

He had the means
and access

To hundreds
of contract killers.

And loyalty runs thick
in those circles.

Yeah, all he'd have to do
is make one phone call,

Garcia, can you go through
eric carcani's emails
and phone records?

Yeah, I am already on that
and I'll hunt you back
when I have something.

Excuse me.

We'd like to talk
to you about a package
you picked up

Go, danny.
Maple street's calling.
You're late for a pickup.

My office doesn't know
about this.

We just need to know
where you took
maya carcani.

I don't know their names.
I'm just a driver.

This is maya.
Do you remember her?

Ok. Yeah.

Yeah, she was terrified.

I took her here.

Thank you.

We're closer to the address.
We can be there in about 10.

Garcia's sending a schematic
of maya's apartment building.

Hotch: Good.
If the unsub
has her address,

While wouldn't he just
bust down her door
and shoot her?

Because he's a sniper,
and that means

A comfortable kill zone
for him includes distance.

He'll want to make her death
look like a random attack,

Wait a minute. So anybody
in the vicinity of this
apartment building's in danger?

Yes.

I made a terrible mistake,
didn't I?

Oh, god, I can't breathe.

[telephone rings]

[ring]

[indistinct voice
on telephone]

Yes.

I understand.

Mr. Doe is here.

Go out front.

He'll meet you
in a blue sedan.

Someone has to distract
the sniper.

It's the only way.

But we could--

I'm a pragmatist, remember?

Living on borrowed time.

Now go.

The shelter says the women
are supposed to remain in hiding
for at least two months.

They're supposed to stay
behind closed windows,
closed doors,

Volunteers bring supplies
and food to them.

So the killer's
gotta wait another two weeks
for her to come out.

There's a good chance
he'll give up.
He can't wait forever.

A sniper can wait
up to 72 hours
without sleeping.

That's part
of their training.

And remain completely
focused on their target.

By using a mental exercise
called fantasy integration.

Hotch: The sniper
creates a scenario
involving a target

That keeps that person
at the forefront
of their mind.

Morgan:
Often they'll imagine a place
where they're with the target

Doing something together
that takes time,

Jj: For some, the fantasy
begins the minute
they're assigned a target.

And nothing
will distract them.

So as long as she
stays inside, she
should be safe. Right?

The problem is,
staying cooped up
for a couple of months

Without a breath
of fresh air is hard to do.

It's what the sniper
is counting on,

That she has no idea
he's waiting for her.

I have the name
of your shooter.

Maya's husband eric
made a call a month ago

To a colin bramwell
in mombasa.

Eric and colin worked there
5 years ago.

Colin is a former sniper
for the south african
special forces.

He was kicked out
when he was suspected

And he entered the United States
a week ago on a tourist visa.

He's be out of the country
before anyone was onto him.

As an unsolved act
of domestic terrorism.

We're here.

She's right here.

Third floor.

The only clear shot's
from up there.

He's in there.

Maya's voice: But it was all
worth it, wasn't it,

For a chance at real happiness?

Colin:
It's not for me to say.
