(metallic door sliding open)
Ripped By mstoll

(water dripping)

(squeaking)

(door slams shut in distance)

(soft panting)

(rats squeaking)

(panting)

(high-pitched ringing)

(grunts, panting)

(nearby footsteps)

Wait. Come back!



(door shuts)

(grunting)

Wait!

(panting)

(weakly):
Stop!

(groans)

(grunting)

- (moaning)
- (car door opens, shuts)

- Stop!
- (footsteps)

(car door opens)

(starts engine)

Wait!

(truck horn honks loudly)

- (tires screech)
- (horn honks) -Stop!



- Y-You got to help!
- (brakes hiss)

What are you doing?!

Did you see that van?
We-we got to stop him.

We can still catch him.

- Come on. Let's go.
Please don't go. - Crackhead.

- You don't understand. He's
getting away. - You get off me

or I'll beat the crap out
of you. You understand me?

(grunts)

(siren wailing in distance)

(indistinct chatter)

(pants)

A minute, 32...
faster than last time.

Helps when someone's chasing me.

It's more about your competitive
nature, if you ask me.

Well, I didn't.

(sighs)
We should do this every morning.

(exhales)
Come on, Matt.

I can't make plans that far
in the future.

If I didn't know better, I'd say
you have commitment issues.

Well, good thing
you know better.

(sighs)
Look, we really, uh...

we really shouldn't meet
like this.

I know. But, uh, we got to talk
about some things.

Want to grab breakfast?

Yeah, okay.

We got to carbo-load
after that run.

- Donuts?
- Of course.

(chuckles)

- REID: Six letters.
"Between the waves." -Slatch.

Yes. Ten letters.
"Wandering alone."

Uh, if it's Latin in origin,

"alone" is "solus,"

vagari is "wandering."
Ten letters.

S-O-L-l-V-A-G-A-N-T.

Congratulations, Blake. You just
finished that crossword puzzle

in seven minutes.

I mean, you could do it, too.

I've done it in five-and-a-half,
actually. There's a theory

about pattern recognition where
you don't even have to look

at the clues anymore.
But I've found that going across

instead of down helps
because the sequence

of saccades and fixations
in traditional reading

assist
with other oculomotor tasks

- such as solving
crossword puzzles. - Huh.

Happy Wednesday, my nerds.

BLAKE:
Hey, you're here early.

ROSSl: Well,
apparently not early enough.

I missed all the excitement.

You do that in pen?

Is there any other way?

Where's Hotch?

In there with Garcia.

Everything okay?

We'll see.

Ten letters. Starts with "C."

Cabalistic.

Indeed.

Oi, let's do this.

Hi. Good morning.
No real time to get comfortable.

HOTCH: An hour ago, the man on
your tablets was found wandering

the streets of Baltimore
before he collapsed.

He is unconscious;

he has no I.D. On him,
so we don't know his name;

he's got ligature marks
on his wrists;

and it's impossible to tell
how long he's been missing.

Are those puncture wounds

- in the corner of his eyes?
- Yes, and an MRI confirmed

that fibers in his brain
had been severed.

- He had a lobotomy?
- There was hemorrhaging

and foreign object splinters
embedded behind his right eye.

Most likely from whatever tool
the UnSub used.

My guess would be an ice pick.

The guy's still alive.
Can we talk to him?

- You should try.
- BLAKE: Someone with such

a specific M.O.
Has probably done this before.

We just don't know about it yet.

Uh, it's all being run
through ViCAP.

- Yes, it is. - JJ: The entry
points in his eyes

are from an outpatient-style,
traditional lobotomy.

Less mess than drilling holes
like Dahmer did.

- Dahmer's method killed...
this didn't. - BLAKE: So either

the UnSub is lucky
or he has medical training.

- He wanted his victim
to survive. - HOTCH: We need

to canvass the area
where he was found.

He wouldn't have walked very far
in this condition.

Lobotomies are considered to be
the surgery of the soul.

Doctors like Walter Freeman
claimed they could cure

a number of mental illnesses.
He believed

the procedure
could relieve suffering.

- Excuse me, Agent Hotchner?
- Yes, sir.

Agent Cruz is here.

HOTCH:
Oh. Everyone, this is our new

Section Chief.
This is Agent Mateo Cruz.

- These are Agents Blake...
- Blake, Dr. Reid, Morgan,

Jareau and Rossi.

Good to officially meet you.

Oh, and, uh, Penelope Garcia.

Erin Strauss always spoke
very highly of you.

Oh. Thank you.

Spoke to the Baltimore office.
Seems like they're at a loss.

Yeah, when the identity
of the victim is unknown,

it makes everything
that much harder.

I'd like to join you.

It's not every day
that these cases

take you an hour away
from home, so...

HOTCH:
We leave in 20 minutes.

You could've mentioned this.

But you like surprises.

Seriously,

I got word minutes
after we had breakfast.

MAN:
28...

29...

twenty-ten.

Wait. That-That's not right.

Great, you're awake.

I'm Dr. Hoshino.
You're at Chesapeake General.

MAN:
I need to talk to the police.

HOSHINO:
I just heard the FBI is coming.

MAN:
Good. When will they get here?

Can... you turn those down?
It's hot.

HOSHINO:
How are you doing?

MAN:
My head hurts worse than it was.

Can you just...

Thanks. That's better.

HOSHINO: You have an IV
to keep you hydrated,

and I prescribed Propofol
to help with any discomfort.

MAN: Good 'cause my head's
gonna explode.

Can you take this thing off?

- HOSHINO: Get that started.
- NURSE: Yes, Doctor. - Please,

turn those down.
It's too bright.

Wait, what's going on?

Can you hear me?

Wait, wh-where are you going?

Can you hear me?!

MORGAN: "Someone I loved once
gave me a box full of darkness.

It took me years to understand
that this, too, was a gift."

Mary Oliver.

BLAKE:
A lobotomy

is supposed to alter
a patient's personality.

But it's hard to know if
that's what he was trying to do

- since the victim is a John Doe.
- When it's used for torture,

it's about complete power
and control over the victim.

Jeffrey Dahmer fantasized
about men,

and he poured battery acid
in their brains

so they couldn't escape.

- All because he was lonely,
right? - Uh, yeah,

with extremely deranged sexual
urges, irrational fantasies

and psychopathic tendencies.

BLAKE:
Looks like the victim is in

his mid-20s but no one matching
his description

has been reported missing
in the tri-state area.

Well, if he's been arrested
before,

his prints will be
in the database.

- The locals are running them
now. - Well, it's no accident

the UnSub chose a victim
who won't be missed.

HOTCH: But if he's so meticulous
in his hunting,

how did he let
his victim escape?

ROSSl:
Hmm.

Interesting.

- What's it say?
- "Cruz

has risen through the ranks."

But looks like he's spent most
of his time at headquarters.

Blue flamer.

Being our Section Chief

could be a two-year
stepping stone for him.

So he hasn't been in the field
but he wants to now?

- What's wrong with that?
- Come on. It was

the same thing with Strauss.

We don't need a babysitter
out here.

Well, that's not how she saw it.

She just wanted to see the team
in action.

Look, all due respect
to Strauss,

and you know that, Rossi...

I just don't like it.

If you want a desk job,
then sit at your desk.

(chuckling):
Geez.

Tell us what you really think.

- You ever heard
of this Cruz guy? - ROSSl: Yeah,

but we never crossed paths. You?

Nope.

JJ?

Uh, yeah, I've heard his name.

HOSHINO: He's been in and out
of consciousness.

I've had to stabilize his head,

given the extent
of the injuries.

He's sedated
to help with the pain.

But don't those meds
cause amnesia?

Sometimes,
but I don't have a choice.

Without the pain medicine,
he'll be miserable.

It should wear off
in the next few hours.

Do you think he understands
what's happening?

Part of me hopes he doesn't.
But, yeah, I think so.

Thanks, Doctor.

My name is Derek Morgan.
I'm with the FBI.

Can you tell me your name?

Sam Carter. Look,

y- you got to help me.

I'm probably not the first
person to ask you that, am I?

More like the tenth.

There are ways to figure things
out without words.

- I'd like to try that with you,
okay? - Okay.

For example, can you can blink
if you understand?

Would that work for you?

Blink once if it does.

Okay.

Perfect.

Do you know who did this?

No.

- Was it a man?
- Yes.

Okay.

Was he working alone?

(panting):
Yes.

Do you know where he kept you?

Some dump near Harford Road.

Right. I'm sorry. Just...

give me a piece of paper;
I'Il-I'll write it down.

What are you trying to say?
Do you want to write?

Do you want to write something?

It's got to be
faster than this.

(panting continues)

Here.

(rapid panting)

Harford Road.
There were a bunch

of warehouses.

I'm sorry, man.

That's not what I wrote.

(panting continues)

Look, the person
who did this to you

messed up your ability to talk,

but we're gonna get
through it, all right?

What happened to me?

What's happening?

Okay, here.
I need you to try and stay calm,

but I can show you what
you look like, if you want.

- Are you sure you want to see?
- Yeah. Show me.

(panting continues)

Oh...

Oh, my God.

REID: The victim was found
just after dawn.

Could mean the UnSub has a job
that requires him

- to leave early.
- My guess is,

his social skills are lacking,
and that'll be reflected

- in his type of work.
- CRUZ: SAC is in the field,

but called to say
whatever you need, you got it.

The recovery sight's surrounded
by abandoned warehouses.

REID: He needs
the desolation to enforce

- his power and control.
- There's a team

looking through
the buildings now.

This UnSub doesn't leave
anything to luck.

It was a garbage truck
that sticks to a schedule.

- (beep)
- JJ (over phone): Hey, Hotch.

- Did you talk to the driver?
- Yeah. According to him,

the victim looked
and sounded like a zombie.

ROSSl:
There's no way he made it far.

Most of the buildings down here
are boarded up.

We're starting
with the closest one.

The victim was
in such bad shape,

he probably didn't walk
the stairs by himself.

He was either
held on the first floor

and luckily made it out...

Or he didn't escape at all;
the UnSub let him go.

(train whistle blowing)

(indistinct talking,
dog barking in distance)

??

(woman's trembling breaths)

(beep)

MORGAN:
Come on, stay with me.

SAM:
I'm just so tired.

Let me get this right.

He's working alone?

- Yes.
- But...

what?

Was there more
than one of you there?

That's what I've
been trying to tell you.

We got to figure out
another way to do this.

My eyes are killing me.

Was it another guy?

No.

Was it a girl?

Yes.

Do you know her?

Yes, I know her.

SAM:
Dana? Dana!

Dana...

ROSSl:
Here's where he held him.

JJ:
Why would he let this guy go?

He wants him to suffer.

Whoa!

- Oof.
- (groans)

What the hell is that?

(JJ exhales)

Uh, adult diapers...

medical soap...

toothbrushes.

He took care of this victim.

Only to ensure he'd stay alive.

These look small.

Why would he leave these behind?

'Cause he wants us
to know something.

Hotch,

the UnSub also had
a female victim.

They ran the victim's prints,
but he wasn't in any database.

He doesn't have any track marks,
and the tox screen is clean.

This isn't the kind of guy

who would hang out
in that neighborhood.

Rules out the high-risk
behavior theory,

but it doesn't answer
why he wouldn't be missed.

REID: That's what we're
working on right now.

What 20-something nowadays
wouldn't be missed?

I mean, with social media alone,

- there's constant contact.
- CRUZ: What's this?

Over 50 universities
in the state... 50 more

- if you add DC and Virginia.
- But students are the most

socially active of all...
why aren't we looking

into someone with a little
more isolated existence?

REID: The low-risk
behavior of the victim tells us

a lot about his lifestyle.
He might stalk the most

isolated victims knowing
that they won't be missed.

BLAKE:
It's smart.

Campuses are a great place
to blend in,

and all of those schools

look within a two-hour drive.

Go ahead, Garcia.

There are over
a hundred thousand kids

enrolled
in Maryland colleges alone,

and another hundred in Northern
Virginia and the District.

All right, send out a photo of
the victim to all the campuses.

Somebody's gonna recognize him.

And, sir, I did that search

through ViCAP...
nothing in the States.

So I figured it'd be okay
to cast a wider net, and I asked

a brilliant ex-coworker of ours,
and guess what?

Emily found a single incident
on Interpol.

Looked like a one-hit wonder
until now.

Where?

Berlin.

Germany?

SAM:
Germany? What about Germany?

- A male victim?
- Come here.

Come here.

Come here.

Hotch,

I got to go.

Does Germany
mean something to you?

Dana lived there. Yes.

Yes, it means something.

Okay, this is good.
We're getting somewhere.

Doc, when he's awake,

he definitely knows
what's going on.

I'd like you to give me
a communication board.

I want to get him
to spell some things out.

That's great.
I'll get one in here.

Just checking your eyes again.

The swelling's gone down.

Cranial nerves and pupil reflex
looks normal,

considering the trauma.

This isn't right.

What is it? What's wrong?

What do you see?

HOSHINO:
Open your eyes wide as you can.

Hello.

The doctor's gonna see
if he can remove the camera.

He was blinking the whole time...

it's how he communicated...
but I don't know how

- I didn't see this sooner. - The
eye is the most confined space

in the body, which means
the camera's probably

three to four millimeters long
and difficult to see

without a microscopic lens.

Is it a prosthetic eye?

No. It's right next
to the pupil.

BLAKE:
That must be

the unidentified splinter
the MRI showed.

It's an ocular nano implant.

HOTCH:
All right, thanks.

Garcia's searching
for the transmission,

but it's bouncing
al over the city.

They're usually controlled
by cell phone, which needs to be

- within a specific distance,
so he's close. - I know they've

developed the technology,
but it isn't widely known.

Actually, it is,
if you know who to call.

Everything's
on the black market.

It's expensive
but not high-tech.

Should we be looking
at microsurgeons?

CRUZ: There's no need...
the camera itself

is smaller than
the point of a needle.

That's usually
how they're injected.

That's weird. He fancied
an old-fashioned technique

for the lobotomy,
but the camera tells us

that's he's
technically inclined.

What about this German victim?
How does he tie in?

HOTCH: The M.E. Report says
that he survived the lobotomy

- but was later shot in the head.
- CRUZ: Why?

He was a test run
for the current victim.

Once the theory was proved,
he was no longer needed.

CRUZ: Did he install a camera
in that victim's eye, too?

- HOTCH: No. - There's something
special about this guy.

Where did their paths cross?

Garcia's compiling a list
of foreign exchange students.

That should be
a more manageable number.

REID:
You would think so,

but DC has
the highest concentration

of exchange students
in the nation, which means

we're still looking
at tens of thousands.

We're also running facial
recognition on student visas.

That's all good, but now what?

We figure out why he's doing it.

(muffled sobbing)

This escalation could be
the UnSub's message

about the eyes
being windows to the soul.

There's something to that...
the same genes

that develop the iris
also shape the frontal lobe,

- which influences personality.
- Why is this part

of his ritual now
but it wasn't in Berlin?

Well, that's unclear,
but his first kill in Berlin

means he has a significant
connection there.

He's likely visiting the U.S.,
and he feels out of place,

and that may be how
he connected with his victims.

He's definitely had
medical training.

His German victim was a student,

and the UnSub may also be
in those circles.

We need to check currently
enrolled medical students

as well as recent dropouts,
both here and abroad.

BLAKE: He's clearly
bright and capable.

His torture suggests
he's experimenting,

which could mean he's bored.

But with his intelligence
comes a dark side.

That's where his psychology
and genetics come into play.

- (tape rips)
- (screams)

And how do you know
those characteristics?

We can only speculate, but if
his victims do represent him,

then he's telling us that he
feels lobotomized and powerless.

This could mean he was raised
in a strict home

or one where he
didn't have a voice.

(sobbing)

(screaming, gasping)

Do you think he was heavily
medicated or institutionalized?

REID: Maybe. A majority of
lobotomy patients in the 1940s

were mentally ill, and resided
in state-run institutions.

The doctors there felt
they were providing mercy

to the patients,
but the use of the camera

tells us this UnSub
wants his victims to suffer.

And the emotional torture
of being left paralyzed is

a kind of overkill,
and that occurs

when there's
a personal connection

between the offender
and the victim.

REID: He wants them
to suffer, but he also

wants to witness
what it's like to be them.

BLAKE: He's given himself
a front-row seat.

HOTCH:
And now that he knows

we're on the case,
that kind of attention could

- cause him to escalate.
- How so?

He may want us
to see what he sees.

JJ: So what did he say
when you asked

if there was a woman
held with him?

He didn't say a word.

Guy's brain got scrambled.

I can't imagine knowing
what's going on

but not being able
to say anything.

JJ: I know he's only got
minimal gestures,

but did he give you
any indication he knew her?

Just shut his eyes,
the same way he did

when he realized
he was paralyzed.

Well, that's definitely a sign.

An emotional one.

Well, if we say we

have a missing couple and we
put his photo around campuses,

we might be able to
figure out who she is, too.

Any word on the camera?

Doctor's checking the X rays
now to see if he can get it out.

If it's the nanotech
I think it is,

removing the piece could be
dangerous for the victim.

At the very least
he could lose his eye.

You've seen this stuff before?

Not quite like this,
but it's used

for foreign counterintelligence.

So then where'd he get it?

It's like back-alley Lasik.

You're kidding me.

We should just shut his eyes.
Show's over.

Or we could play his game.

They can't take it out.

Not yet.

SAM:
Or I'll die, right?

So why don't we try
to focus on something

that we can control, all right?

I'm gonna point to some rows

and I want you tell me if the
letter that you need is in it.

What's your name?

- Sam.
- First row.

Second row.

Third.

- Yes. - Okay. Okay,
that's good, that's good.

(Sam breathing heavily)

- Yes.
- S?

- Yes.
- Okay.

What's the second letter?

A.

A. Okay.

S-A.

- Sam.
- (fast typing)

Sam C.
I know he hasn't

spelled his whole name yet,
but here he is.

- (phone rings)
- What have you got, Garcia?

Victim's name is Sam Carter
and he's a grad student at...

MORGAN:
Johns Hopkins.

This is great, Sam,
you're doing really great.

Who was the woman
that was with you?

Dana.

Okay.

No, D.
Eh... No.

D?

- Yes.
- Okay.

D. What's the second letter?

Yes.

- A. - A.
- Okay,

D-A. Now the third letter.

No, second row.
Yes.

- Okay.
- It's N, come on.

N, yes.

N. Okay, D-A-N.
Keep going, Sam.

First row.

- Sam? - A. The medicine's
making me so drowsy.

- I. I? Dani?
- No...

- Is it Danielle?
- I meant A, not I.

It's D-A-N-A.
Go up a row.

We're gonna look for
all the Danis that we can.

But I need you to save your
strength for this next part.

What next part? What now?

We're gonna try to
talk to him through you.

Just get Dana.
Don't let this happen to Dana.

- Yes, yes, talk to him.
- Now are you sure

- that you don't know him?
- I don't know him. I'm sure.

Okay. Just bear with me.

Sam, the person
who did this to you

is challenging us,
so sometimes we have to bluff.

Now, I don't think
he can hear us,

but he's definitely watching.

Oh, no, no, Sam, Sam.
Come on, S-Sam.

I know you're tired.

But I need you to try
and keep your eyes open.

(whimpering)

- (screams)
- (rips)

(crying)

Cheese.

(Dana sobbing)

Kevin, I cannot talk
right now, I'm swamped.

Did you see it?

Yes, I saw that you
sent me an e-mail

- but I can't read it right now.
- Morgan's everywhere.

- Wait, what?
- You got to look.

What do you mean, Morgan...

I got to go.

- The UnSub is posting this
on the Web. - Yeah,

- we're seeing it, too. - I can't
shut it down, it's going viral.

It's streaming
all over the globe.

- Hey, Rossi.
- Okay, we got it.

- Sam, close your eyes. - What?
Why? - The hell's going on?

The UnSub's posting this.

Where?

All over the world. Live.

- Sam, close your eyes.
- Oh, God.

(whimpering)

(crying)

You said he wanted us to see,
so why not go to the media?

- Why the Internet?
- The media

edits the message.
The Internet doesn't.

He's calling our bluff.

If we know who he is,
we should come and get him.

(whimpering)

(screams)

Use that board again.

It's D-A-N-A.
Please, pick it up.

Sam. I know it's hard,

but you got to keep
your eyes closed.

Just find her.

Don't let him
do this to Dana.

(Dana screaming)

(Dana sobbing)

(screaming)

(gasps)

Oh, God, oh, God, oh, God.
Oh, God.

HOTCH: There's light
coming from above.

REID: Ceiling's low,
it could be a basement.

What's he doing?

Taunting us.

ROSSl:
Six locks on the inside.

He's barricading them in.

(hollow thud)

HOTCH: We know what he looks
like but we have not found him

in any database yet. I want
all of you agents to spread out

and comb a five mile radius
from the hospital

- where Sam Carter was found.
- All right. - Yes, sir.

I told the director you're
doing everything you can.

Do you want me to get
a joint task force started?

If Garcia can't shut the site
down, I don't think anybody can.

If this woman dies on the
Internet and we didn't do

- everything in our power
to save her... - We've got

agents who know
this city best in the field.

My team is doing everything we
can. You do what you have to do.

(sighs) This guy doesn't
seem to care that we know

what he looks like. It's like
he wants to get caught.

- He does. - He waited till
we were all watching

- to lobotomize this girl. Why?
- Because he's

punishing her and he wants
everyone to see it.

MORGAN:
Garcia,

you can't block it?

He's got multiple core servers.

Come on, baby girl, I know
you can shut this thing down.

I am trying my hardest.

It is no joke. It's a premium
network bounce between Germany,

Denmark, Indonesia,
Panama and the U.S.

And his firewall is hardcore.

Well, can you at least
figure out the U.S. Angle?

I am trying as hard as I can.

BLAKE: Nothing he's doing
has a sexual component...

that we know of, anyway.

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

But instead he let Sam go.

Both of these victims
are significant to him.

It's like he's playing a game.

Not just with us
but with all of them.

If it isn't sexual...

but still has
incredible stakes to him,

then maybe it's familial.
I mean, he could be

related to one of them.

He's not just punishing her,
he's torturing her family.

ROSSl: He has her
in a straitjacket.

What's that about?

This message is personal
and specific.

She's restrained
and emotionally paralyzed.

She's in no condition
to run away.

So those locks
are to keep others out.

Because he's
in another bad area,

probably close to where
he kept them before.

Garcia, we need
the location of every cell tower

where the signal's bouncing.

That's a lot, sir,
but I'm sending them now.

What about the name Dani... does
it cross with Sam in any way?

There's a Dana Harris.
It's not Dani,

but he's called Dana Harris

a dozen times,
and she is on a student visa

at Johns Hopkins and...
Oh, my God, she's from Berlin.

Does she have a connection to
Baltimore other than the school?

Digging. Uh... yes, yes,
her father

is a partner at Strauss and
Harris Commercial Real Estate.

They specialize
in converting warehouses

in port cities
all over the world.

They own one
in Northeast Baltimore.

And wouldn't you know it?
There's a cell phone tower

right by there that
that signal is bouncing from.

What's the address?

Sending it to your phones now.

(Dana panting)

(train whistle blowing)

(panting)

(speaking German)

Hmm?

There she is.
That's definitely Dana.

I've got eyes on her.
She's getting into a white van.

Do we have cross streets?

Not yet.

But it looks like
she's in an alley.

Why would he want us
to see where they're going?

Because he's arrogant.

This is the end of his plan,
and we're a part of it.

BLAKE:
Garcia, we think the UnSub

could be related to Sam or Dana.

Harris family has a son,
Anton, 29.

History of violent outbursts
had him bouncing between

boarding schools
all over Europe.

While Dana stayed close to home.

- How did you know?
- BLAKE: He blames

Dana for his rejection
and abandonment issues.

It's a classic universal wound.

Left untreated and combined
with the psychopathic urges,

that trauma led
to extreme aggression.

And a desperate need
for attention.

Let me guess, Garcia.

One of the parents
is a medical doctor.

Mom was before she died.

Looks like young Anton was

studying to be a veterinarian.

Little sister trumped him
by attending

medical school at Hopkins.

He did all of this

to get on his parents' radar.

How long has Anton been
in the States?

(beep, keyboard keys clicking)

Month into his three-month visa.

He waited until Dana was away

from the family
before he attacked.

JJ:
All right, we got the van.

It's parked in the alley
behind Greenmount at 25th.

(van door creaks open)

He's gone.

(car doors close)

(garbled radio transmission)

(train whistle blowing)

This isn't good.

All right, let's split up
and search the building.

Cruz, come with me.

Hands where I can see them.

(German accent): I will
if you answer something.

It doesn't work like that.
Show me your hands.

Hands!

Aren't you the one

who's supposed to ask me
why I do what I do?

I would
if I didn't already know.

You're patient,

but you also take risks.

It's why you leave nothing
to chance.

I wondered why
you hadn't practiced

on the eyes of the man
you killed in Berlin.

It's because you'd already
tried it on yourself.

You're recording all of this
right now,

because you want
everyone out there

to know
what it's like to be you.

Maybe they'll understand.

Maybe they'll even feel sorry
for you.

But they won't,

because we've intercepted your
transmission and shut it down.

Go ahead.
See for yourself.

So they aren't watching me
anymore.

What else is new?

My father sent me away
because I humiliated him.

Said I brought shame
to our family.

Your father sent you away
because you're sick,

and he wanted to protect Dana.

He was right...
but he couldn't stop me.

Your father's on his way,
but, of course, you knew that.

It's why you showed everyone
your face.

You wanted them
to know that you'd won.

And it worked.

But you have to admit,
what I've done is extraordinary.

My father will never
forget it.

Certainly Dana won't.

Or maybe she will.

Will you?

I already have.
Cuff him.

(handcuffs jingling)

(handcuffs clicking)

Garcia didn't shut down
his signal, did she?

Well, he didn't know that.

I can see why they didn't
want you out of the field.

MAN:
Let's bring her around now.

MAN 2:
Yes, sir, right away.

(garbled radio transmission,
indistinct, overlapping chatter)

(garbled radio transmission)

(train whistle blowing)

(garbled radio transmission)

(indistinct chatter,
phone rings)

(garbled radio transmission)

- (beep)
- Cruz.

(garbled radio transmission,
train whistle blowing)

Copy that.

(phone beeps off)

He's driving back with us.

You're getting stronger.

I knew you would.

Can you guys hold up
for a second?

MAN:
Yes, sir.

Hey, Dana. I'm Derek.

Sam here is very happy
to see you.

(breath quivering)

D-Dana.

HOSHINO:
Her vitals are strong.

I should have her back
in an hour.

You want to go with her,
don't you, Sam?

Yes.

You got it.

They going to be okay?

Maybe... eventually.

Worst case of sibling rivalry
I've ever seen.

Yeah.

Do you have kids?

No.

Do you?

Yes.

My father named me Anton
because it means "invaluable."

Do you think
he ever believed that?

Why don't you ask him?

I will.

(elevator bell dings)

(indistinct chatter)

HOTCH: "Death is not
the greatest loss in life.

The greatest loss is what dies
inside of us while we live."

Norman Cousins.

(knocking)

Mr. Harris has
diplomatic connections,

and wanted
to have Anton extradited.

After all that, he's still
trying to protect him.

Tell me
you didn't let that happen.

I called in a favor
from the State Department.

He's being charged
and tried right here.

Good.

Got a good team.

We do.

Welcome.

Thanks.

You always here this late?

Pretty much, yeah.

Every time
your name was mentioned today

and every time I didn't say,

"Hey, yeah, I know him,"
I'm lying.

I know it's not easy.
I don't like it, either.

We're surrounded
by profilers, Mat.

One side glance, and they're
going to figure it all out.

Well, separating us
in the field was smart.

It was the only way.

Look, I... I know why

we can't tell them,
I get that, but...

we can't have too many
of these conversations, either.

That case could stay open
for a couple of years.

It's already been almost three.

Did you take this position
because of me?

No. Trust me.

I walked into the
Hoover building this morning,

and was told to drive out
to Quantico immediately, so,

someone put this transfer
on the fast track.

State?

They wouldn't admit it
if they did.

True.

This, um...

Us...

We're good, right?

Yeah.

Okay.

You want to meet at the Air
and Space in the morning,

run some sprints?

I'm gonna make breakfast
for my boys.

Great plan, yeah.

Hi.

(Rossi snaps his fingers)

Going home?

- Yeah.
- Cruz?

I've got some work to do.

- Good night.
- Good night.

- CRUZ: Night.
- (elevator bell dings)

Good night.

You good?

Yeah.

All good.
