Wait. Come back!

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. Ripped By mstoll
