Criminal Minds (2005–…): Season 9, Episode 6 - In the Blood - full transcript

The BAU are called to Utah to investigate the murder of a women who died by being buried under stones. All while Penelope plans a Day of the Dead party.

(birds singing)
Ripped By mstoll

(crow cawing)

(grunts)

(grunts)

(groans softly)

(panting)

(birds singing)

(crying):
Please.

(groans, sighs)

(woman sobbing)

(groans, gasps)



WOMAN (crying):
Oh, please.

Please!

(woman crying)

Please! No!

Thank you.

Okay, just put everything
on the counter,

and I will put it away later.

Hey, I like your altar.

Thank you.

Yeah, there's still a lot to do
before the party next week,

and I'm scared.

I've never had the whole team
here before.

Why are you doing
a Day of the Dead theme?

Well, uh, my stepfather's family



always made a big deal
of it in Mexico,

and my name is Penelope Garcia
after all, so...

Hey, could you check
my refrigerator

and see
if I have enough hot sauce?

You have some jalapeño sauce
here next to this jar of

eyeballs, but I think
you're gonna need more,

depending on how much guacamole
you plan on making.

You okay?

You didn't even flinch.

JJ's right. I told her

I wanted
to go scary this Halloween,

and she just laughed at me,
and she said

that I don't have a scary side.

I'm sorry. If it makes you feel
any better, you probably do.

- Really?
- Yeah. The building blocks

of human personality
are complex,

varied and multifaceted.

It's essential
to one's mental health

to want to express
these hidden personalities, and

just a fact of nature
that everybody has one.

Everybody? You have one?

Oh, absolutely. Yeah.

Okay. Okay, I want to see it.

I-I want to see Dr. Spencer
Reid's hidden personality.

You... Right here?

Right... Like, right now
you want to see it?

I have fake blood
running down my cheeks.

Right here, right now.

Okay. Once you see it,
you can't unsee it.

Okay.

(groaning)

I know what you're thinking.

You're thinking,

did that guy just fire
five shots,

or did that guy
just fire six shots?

You're gonna have
to ask yourself a question.

Do you feel lucky...

punk?

(Reid exhales)

That was Clint Eastwood
in Dirty Harry.

- Oh. - I mean,
I know it's not as effective

- as my dominant personality,
but... - (phone chimes)

- L-I feel like there's...
- Hey, look, we got to go.

These eyeballs... do they need
to be refrigerated?

- No. It's cool.
- Oh.

Oh, I recognize that face
from somewhere.

It's good to have you back,
Hotch.

It's good to be back. Thanks.

And under the heading of
"no rest for the weary"?

GARCIA:
A woman was

found dead yesterday
near Provo, Utah,

buried under a pile of rocks.

Her face was smashed,
her head was smashed.

Pretty much everything smashed.

24 hours later,
she's still a Jane Doe?

No personal items
were found at the scene,

and the severity of her injuries

made facial recognition
impossible.

So, Provo Missing Persons has,
like, zero intel on her.

Looks like
the victim was tortured.

Lacerations on both arms
and a burn in the neck area.

Could be the killer's way
of silencing her.

Literally and figuratively.

- ROSSI: Robe she's in almost
looks ceremonial. - REID: Yeah.

- The UnSub must have changed
her clothing. - MORGAN: Could be

a straight-up woman hater.

Took away her clothes,
her voice, her identity.

And then covered her with rocks.

Might be a concealment,
or an expression of remorse.

Looks like a makeshift tomb,

- if you ask me.
- JENNIFER: Have there been

similar killings in the area?

- None that we know.
- ROSSI: I'm impressed, Hotch.

How'd you get the brass
to let us

investigate a single,
isolated murder?

I told him that the ritualistic
nature means that

he's forensically sophisticated
and organized,

and he's likely killed before.

And likely will kill again.

Which means we can't waste time.

Wheels up in 20.

(grunts)

(grunts)

(grunting)

(loud grunting)

REID:
"After all, what is every man

"but a horde of ghosts,

oaks that were acorns
that were oaks?"

Walter de la Mare.

Single victim, unidentified.

Not much to go on.

Let's start with the basics.

Those rocks were heavy, so
our killer is most likely male,

probably in good physical shape.

There could be more
than one UnSub.

- (beep)
- GARCIA: News flash. We just got

lucky with dental records.

Our Jane Doe is Gloria Carlyle,

24-year-old
grammar school teacher.

One red flag... and it's pretty
scarlet, carmine, crimson...

she used to belong
to a utopian-style sect in town.

She joined it
right out of high school.

- Used to belong?
- GARCIA: Mm-hmm.

She left the sect
three months ago,

and she moved in
with her boyfriend.

Do we know
the boyfriend's whereabouts?

GARCIA:
He's in Alaska.

So, his alibi's as solid

as a pre-globally warmed
glacier.

Garcia, is this sect run
by a man named Herbert Sykes?

Wonder boy, yes, it is.
How'd you know that?

Five years ago,
a teenage girl was found dead

on the grounds of his compound.

It was determined to be
an honor killing of sorts.

The girl was stoned to death.

Rocks appear to be
the cause of death

in Gloria's murder, as well.

The red flag just got redder.

HOTCH:
All right, Dave,

you and Blake,
find out what you can

about Gloria Carlyle
from the medical examiner.

Morgan and Reid, go

to the crime scene. JJ and I
will talk to Gloria's family,

as well as have a chat
with Herbert Sykes.

A couple of fossil hunters
nosing around up here found her.

Those the rocks?

My men moved 'em off her body.

But that's all
anyone's touched them.

They're sedimentary
conglomerates

with rounded clasts.

If you say so.

Well, that means
that geologically-speaking,

they don't belong up here.

The rest of this canyon
is tertiary rhyolite volcanics,

which means the UnSub must have
brought these rocks with him.

Which would be noisy
and time-consuming.

So, the UnSub obviously
felt comfortable enough up here

to take the time that he needed.

He's probably been here before.

Sergeant, how wide was the
radius of your initial search?

We canvassed out about 200 yards
in all directions.

We didn't find anything.

Well, we may need to push that
out a little further.

(squawking)

(shrieks)

I was, um...

shocked when I heard.

Even though Gloria chose
to leave the community,

her loss will be felt.

We spoke to Gloria's parents
a little while ago,

and they said that you had had
a fight with Gloria

the day
that she left the community.

This had something to do with
your claim of divine heritage?

I am...

the spiritual leader
of my community.

As such, I often speak
allegorically or in parables.

But Gloria took the divine
heritage business literally.

Yes. Uh, she dug around
in my family history,

looking for, uh...
who knows what.

Uh, God, Buddha... Zeus.

- (chuckles)
- HOTCH: We were also told

that Gloria was threatened
by members of the community

when she announced
her intention to leave.

I have no knowledge of that.

So, the friends she made there
weren't told to shun her?

Let's talk about the
stoning death five years ago.

Since you seem
to know the answers

to the questions you're asking,

why don't you tell me?

Look, the guilty party
was sent to prison,

where he belongs.

What else do you want to know?

Reviewing
the original case file,

you were less than forthcoming

in the initial stages
of the investigation.

JJ:
You hired a public relations

firm in the wake of the murder.

It took me years
to build my community.

My investment was...
is substantial.

I was not going to watch it go

under because
of one tragic incident.

I think we're done.

We may have some more questions,

so please keep yourself
available for the next few days.

The law firm of Gordon, Foxman
and Mendelovitz.

Not local yokels.
Wall Street.

Drag my name
through the mud on this,

like you did five years ago,

and they'll be in touch.

Mr. Sykes,
we're investigating a murder,

and I don't speak in parables,

so this should be very easy
to understand.

If you interfere with us
in any way,

I will see to it
that you are charged with

and prosecuted
for obstruction of justice.

I've seen some bad ones in my
15 years, but this was... bad.

What was the C.O. D?

It's hard to pinpoint.

Virtually every bone
in her body was crushed,

and every major organ ruptured.

My guess is skull fracture,
but honestly,

any one of these internal
injuries might have killed her.

What about the lacerations?

Could they have been
defensive wounds?

No. They were
in a distinct pattern.

Quite deep and severe
on the radius and ulna,

but carefully placed
so as not to cause death.

There would be substantial
bleeding from a wound like that.

Absolutely.

Yet there was minimal blood
at the crime scene.

The victim suffered
the lacerations

and burning somewhere else,

then was taken
to the canyon to be killed.

But why not make it
one-stop shopping?

Transporting her alive,
even a short distance,

would increase the risk
significantly.

MEDICAL EXAMINER:
Well, tox report did show

traces of chlorpromazine
in her system.

A tranquilizer. That was what
he used to control her.

There's something else
I wanted you to see.

Fingernail polish was removed.

But crudely.

A mixture of citrus juice
and vinegar.

And where that didn't
do the trick, the polish

was roughly scraped off
with a sharp object.

Not how I remember my ex-wives
removing their polish.

Well, this was done to her,
not by her.

REID:
What used to be up here?

The dirt road leading in
seems rather substantial.

Salt-mining.

Hauled the stuff out
by the truckloads.

These hills filled a hell
of lot of salt shakers.

Yeah, actually,
less than six percent of salt

in the United States
is used for food.

The vast majority of it goes for
de-icing roads and snow control.

MORGAN:
Guys?

Over here.

REID:
We were right.

Killer's been here before.

And he seems to have
a preference for blondes.

(moaning and loud breathing)

Kylie, this one looks good.

- I like it.
- Me, too.

I think we could find something
in here for sure.

Should we check it out, then?

- Yeah.
- Okay.

Let's go.

Sorry, ma'am.
That's a reference book.

It can't leave the library.

Not even for one night?

No, ma'am,
but there is a photocopy machine

on the main floor
if you want to make copies.

Ten cents a page.

Can we make copies?

(sighs)
You know what, sweetie?

I got to get ready for work.

But we'll come back tomorrow.
Thank you.

You promise?

I promise.

I hate when people
can't be flexible.

I mean, who is it gonna hurt
to take the book for one night?

How much is this book?

Excuse me?

To buy it.
How much to buy the book?

This is a library, sir,
not a bookstore.

- Let's go, sweetie.
- Ah, whoa, whoa, hold on, wait.

- Don't touch me. - I'll make
the photocopies for you.

Give me your phone number,
and we can set up a time to...

Let's go, sweetie.

Dave, are you and Blake
still at the M.E.'s office?

- Just leaving now.
- HOTCH: Yeah, stay put.

Morgan and Reid found another
body near the first crime scene.

22-year-old Abby Stafford.
She was

a student
at the University of Utah.

Quick I.D.

Yeah, her handbag was found
near the body.

- Any idea when she died?
- HOTCH: Morgan said

the body's been there
for a while.

Her roommate says that
she's been missing for a week.

The body's on its way
to you now.

Another rock burial?

HOTCH:
It appears she jumped

or was thrown off of a cliff.

The autopsy's tomorrow,
but the M.E. Might be able

to tell us something now.

Okay, we'll stay put.

By the way,
have you had your audience yet

with the Dalai Lama?

Yeah, he claims to know nothing
about the Gloria Carlyle murder.

ROSSI:
Surprise, surprise.

BLAKE:
What's your take, Hotch?

Well, I think
he's telling the truth.

- Sound fairly certain.
- HOTCH: Yeah, money means

more to Sykes than ideology.

He took a big financial hit

after the stoning death
a few years ago.

The last thing he wants
is any more trouble.

Protecting his brand.

Utopia, Incorporated.

We'll check in
when the new body gets here.

HOTCH:
Thanks.

(door creaks open, shuts)

I'm sorry I grabbed you before.

Leave me the hell alone,

or I'm gonna go back inside
and call security.

It's not against the law

- to apologize.
- It's called

stalking,
and it is against the law.

Stop following me!

You need to calm down.

I mean it.

If I see you again,
I'm calling the cops.

JJ, were you able to contact
Abby Stafford's family?

No. They're vacationing
somewhere in Europe.

We're tracking them down, but
I did talk to a friend of hers.

She said Abby was
a conservative, studious type.

No drama, no enemies.

MORGAN:
I just got off the phone

with Rossi.

M.E. Says the new victim died
roughly a week ago.

Had the same laceration marks
and throat burning,

but the wounds
weren't anywhere near

as severe as Gloria Carlyle's.

He was still warming
to the task.

Well, our UnSub
definitely has a type.

Young, blonde, pretty.

HOTCH: Now, the elements
in common to both murders

aren't giving us much.
Let's concentrate

on the deviations.

Okay, well, um,

Abby was thrown off a cliff,
Gloria was entombed.

Well, the UnSub left Abby
in her own clothes

but changed Gloria into a robe.

M.E. Found another difference.

Apparently,
Gloria's fingernail polish

had been removed by the UnSub.

Abby Stafford's hadn't been
tampered with at all.

Well, Abby's death was quick
and impersonal...

off a cliff; no muss, no fuss...

but Gloria was slowly crushed.

He took his time
to make her suffer.

All the deviations

in Gloria's murder
involve increased ritual.

It's got to be feeding
a fantasy of some kind.

Explains why the torture
was more intense with Gloria.

Ritual fed the fantasy,
the fantasy fed the rage.

If that's the case,
this guy's evolving fast.

(man grunts, sighs)

(gasping)

The hour is upon us.

(man panting)

With this,
I send your soul back to hell.

(man panting)

(groans)

(creaking)

MAN: We have four here
on the east side, sir.

MAN 2:
No, ma'am, I-I can't tell you.

(overlapping, distant chatter)

Thanks.

Same signature.

Lacerations.

- (flies buzzing) -And
the throat, dressed in a robe.

ROSSI:
But this is a huge change

in both M.O. And victimology.

Well, we knew the UnSub
probably wouldn't chance

going to the canyon again,
but a downtown city park?

It's a complete 180.

(phone ringing)

Garcia, what's the low-down
on Parker Mills?

Oh, you got
the low part right.

Do you remember
in science class

with the petri dishes
and the mold

- and the algae and the slime
and the gunk? - ROSSI: Yeah.

I appreciate
the scientific perspective,

but what are you saying?

I'm saying, grade A pervert.

There is not a lady's
underwear drawer

that this man did not want
to dive face-first in.

So, I'm guessing a rap sheet?

GARCIA:
As long as the telescope he used

to peer
into the girls' locker room.

If it is something scuzzy,
Parker Mills has done it.

Peeping Tom, stalker,

nonconsensual frottage,
which, BTW,

is rubbing your body on,
near or against

the vicinity
of somebody else's business.

Uh, let me call you back,
Garcia.

JJ:
Hey, check this out. This burn

was shallow and more distinct.

ROSSI:
There's a pattern.

A design.

The victims weren't
just being burned.

They're being branded.

So, this guy's killing men now?

Parker Mills must have had
a hidden or perceived connection

to the other victims.

Or Mills got in the way somehow
and had to be killed

so the UnSub could return
to his preferred victim type.

Then why bother with the cutting
and throat-burning?

MAN:
Excuse me.

Interesting.

- What is it?
- BLAKE: Tox report

on Abby Stafford.

Our conservative,
studious girl had cocaine

in her system at the time
of her death.

HOTCH: We"re looking
for a physically fit male

from his late 20s to mid 30s.

He's brazen, confident
and organized.

This person may be
a moral vigilante.

Abby Stafford had drug issues.

Gloria Carlyle moved in
with her boyfriend.

Parker Mills was
a sexual deviant.

Moral vigilantism
typically has its roots

in repression and guilt.

This generally manifests itself

in low self-esteem
and self-loathing.

By punishing others,

the UnSub may also
be punishing himself.

He's also literally
branding his victims.

We're not sure why,

but he"s likely
marking them as his own.

BLAKE: His organizational skills
suggest someone

who can get
and keep a full-time job.

But the work is likely
low-level.

His impaired social development
would not allow him

to move very far
in the professional world.

JJ: Consequently, this is
someone most comfortable

working in solitude,

having minimal interaction
with others.

MORGAN: And this makes it
a challenge to determine

how and where this person
is choosing his victims.

REID:
The two female victims

were reserved and studious.

Parker Mills lived quietly

in the margins
of conventional society.

So, the killer may frequent
or work in locations

that attracts
this type of person.

Uh, places of solitude,
contemplation.

BLAKE:
Museums.

Gardens and parks, bookstores.

His choice of a city square

rather than
a remote canyon means

he's gaining confidence.

MORGAN:
But the recklessness of killing

in such a public space suggests

that this confidence may be
stemming from a delusion.

JJ: He may believe
he"s in a place and time

that makes him invulnerable.

HOTCH: And if his delusion
is gaining in strength,

then his next killing
may be riskier

and more dramatic.

Thank you.

(flames crackling)

(yelling)

(gasps)

- (yelling)
- (growling)

(gasps)

(yelling)

(gasping)

Told Dr. Reid
he could use my office.

Must be 30 books
piled up on my desk.

Well, that's either
some light bedtime reading,

or he's actually
on to something.

You know, I was thinking
about that branding thing.

Maybe it's like that book
we had to read in school

about the woman
with the scarlet "A."

MORGAN:
No, that's unlikely.

The Scarlet Letter
was a badge of shame

to be worn in public,
day after day.

Our UnSub is killing his victims
immediately after the branding.

There's something strange
going on here.

That may be
the understatement of the week.

Gloria's vision
was extremely poor.

Her driver's license

specified she had
to wear corrective lenses

while operating a vehicle.

Eyeglasses?

Well, it says here
she wore contact lenses.

No contact lenses were found on
her body or at the crime scene.

The UnSub must have
taken them out,

like he removed her nail polish,
but why would he do that?

MORGAN:
No wristwatch was found

at the crime scene, either.

JJ:
Nail polish, wristwatch,

contact lenses.

What if he was trying
to strip her of items

that reminded him
of the modern era?

Could be part of his delusion,

like changing her
into a simple robe.

He needed to take Gloria
back to a primitive time

before he could kill her.

♪♪

Leland, there you are.

You need to get your
new parking permit downstairs.

Okay. Soon as my shift's over.

No, do it now.
You keep putting it off,

and today's the last day.

I'll watch your area
until you get back.

REID:
Guys, check this out.

- HOTCH: What do you got?
- The pattern

in the branding mark
has design characteristics

similar to family crests
from the late Middle Ages.

I found this encyclopedia
of heraldry, and look.

HOTCH: It's the seal
of William Stoughton,

- a magistrate. - Check when
and where he was a magistrate.

Salem, Massachusetts. 1692.

Stoughton was
the lead prosecutor

in the Salem witch trials.

So this UnSub believes
he's hunting witches.

- Where is it?
- Where's what?

The book!

The... book
that was right there.

- Where is it?
- It's been checked out.

- What? - A woman came in
while you were gone.

Said you told her yesterday
that it was a reference book

and couldn't be checked out.

This is a lending library.
Remember?

- Yeah, but...
- Don't worry.

I logged the book into
the system and gave it to her.

(Kylie speaks indistinctly)

(phone dings)

- (loud whooshing)
- (girl shrieking)

- (high-pitched squeaking)
- (shrieking)

- (low clattering)
- (children cackling)

(laughs)

(children cackling)

Here, I'll carry the book.

WOMAN:
Got it?

BLAKE:
Our UnSub chose

the right role model.
Stoughton was the most

ruthless of all
the Salem prosecutors.

Our killer's also emulating
the methods of execution

at the time of the trials.
Witches were

thrown off cliffs, hung,
slowly crushed by rocks.

So the family crest thing...

is that his way
of honoring the guy?

HOTCH: It's more than that.
He may believe

he's a direct
descendant of Stoughton.

Garcia, were you able
to run a history yet

of the Stoughton family tree?

Uh, it isn't so much a tree
as it is a giant sequoia.

Branches, twigs,
roots, sticks, limbs,

pinecones, woodpecker holes.

There are literally thousands

of Stoughton's descendants
out there.

Are there any in the Provo
or Salt Lake City area?

GARCIA:
Yeah, there's a handful,

but none of them fit
the UnSub's profile.

Can you send me the Stoughtons'
ancestry chart?

GARCIA:
Did you hear the part

I said about the giant sequoia?

I can send it to you,
but unless your laptop screen

is the size of
a drive-in movie theater...

Send it anyway... we'll print out
a hard copy here.

I'm gonna send the side of
the tree that migrated westward,

and do not say
I did not warn you.

You're gonna need
a bigger copy machine.

Baby?

(gasps)

Where are we?

"By the grace
of the Defenders of the Faith,

"these two did engage
in the detestable arts

called witchcraft and sorcery."

What?

"These sorceries were wickedly

"and feloniously used
against others.

- What are you talking about?
- "For such delving

"into witchcraft...

- Witchcraft?
- "...is this statute made

- and provided."
- No.

No, this is crazy.

Please, just let us go.
W... Wait.

(crying): No, no...
No, don't hurt us.

You're making a mistake.

Don't.

No. No, no.
(screams)

(mouthing words)

I've learned to stop

- asking questions
about this guy. - (JJ chuckles)

JJ:
What's up, Spence?

There's something strange

about this one branch
of the family tree. Garcia?

Talk to me.
I am fluent in genius.

Roy and Becky Danary.
They died in 1985,

leaving behind a son
named William Danary,

but there's no record
of what happened to him.

GARCIA: The Danarys were
peace corps workers in Ecuador.

They died
in a car accident there...

And you're right...
their kid just sort of vanished.

Let me do some digging,
and I will call you back.

JJ:
Well, we've profiled

the UnSub as delusional.

What if Stoughton being a

great-great-great-whatever
is just part of his delusion?

Or the discovery of being
a direct descendant

- triggered the delusion.
- He looked into his ancestry.

That would be easy to do here.
Salt Lake City has the largest

family history library
in the world.

Gloria Carlyle researched
Herbert Sykes' ancestry.

Abby Stafford was a bookish
college student.

Maybe that's where they crossed:
At a library.

JJ, have Garcia get the names
of all the employees

and volunteers in the Provo and
Salt Lake City library system

and cross-check those
with descendants

- of William Stoughton.
- On it.

Who are you?

- (gasps)
- (woman whimpering)

(exhales)

Is that what this is about?
The book?

Take it. I don't want it.

I'm just making my daughter
a costume for Halloween.

That's all. We were just

looking at the book for ideas.

Do you confess your crimes?

What crimes? What...

What are you talking about?

The court will be merciful
if you confess.

I didn't do anything!

(Kylie murmurs)

Listen to me.
Just let my daughter go.

She's innocent. Just...

let her go, and...

then you and I, we...

we can talk, okay?

The indictment
accuses both of you.

Do you willingly confess
to your crimes,

or must a confession
be extracted from you?

You're crazy.

(woman crying)

Hey, I have a thing.

- What is it, Garcia?
- No library employees

are direct descendants
of William Stoughton.

However, there is a volunteer
with a fascinating

family history there:
Leland Duncan.

Son of Orland
and Clara Duncan.

Mormon missionaries.

But the Duncans aren't part
of the Stoughton lineage.

But a big kiss to who can guess
where they were doing

their missionary work in 1985.

- Ecuador.
- Ding, ding. We have a winner.

Same time and place
as the peace corps couple

that died and left a son.

So the Duncans adopted the boy
and changed his name.

I'm sending you a current photo
of Leland Duncan

along with his home address.
There.

HOTCH:
Thanks.

It's clear here.

BLAKE:
Clear.

Okay, thanks.

Apartment's empty,
but Leland's definitely our guy.

♪♪

What are you doing?

The court needs
your confessions first.

Wait. Stop. No.

I'll confess.
You don't have to do that.

(cries)

I'll admit it.

I am a witch.

I'll call you back, Garcia.

Victim's Charlotte Novak.

She's one of the librarians.

- When was she last seen alive?
- Around 3:30.

She came to the main
circulation desk

to put a book into the system.

Then she went back
to Leland's section.

- What was the book?
- An Illustrated History

of Witchcraft and Sorcery.

That was his lure.

And anyone who took the bait
was guilty of being a witch.

Where's the book?

Got checked out.
Yvonne Carpenter.

All right,
we need to find her address

to send units there immediately.

(Yvonne panting)

Was it my daughter?

Your daughter?

Was she the one who betrayed me?

Your child is also a witch.

Why would she help me?

No.

She's a witch hunter, like you.

She tried to remove the curses
I put on people.

- You lie.
- It's the truth.

I can prove it.

She has the mark of the Angel.

It's on her hairline,

just behind her left ear. Look.

(gasps)

You see it, don't you?

Mark of the Angel.

(crying)

(door opens)

There's got to be
a secondary location somewhere.

No, I know, but Garcia said that
Leland Duncan's adopted parents

- never had an address
in the area. - (beep)

- Garcia.
- Talk to me.

What was Clara Duncan's
maiden name?

Andrews. Clara Andrews.

Did they ever live in the area?

I'm working on it.
Give me a sec.

Yvonne Carpenter
and her daughter are both gone.

My officers said the apartment
showed signs of a struggle.

(crying softly)

Your daughter has been released
from custody.

When she wakes up,
she is free to go.

Oh, thank God.

The court accepts the confession
of witchcraft.

- What?
- Your sentence

of execution will be carried out
at sundown.

No. You said you'd show mercy!

No.

Don't do this!

GARCIA:
Leland's adoptive mother,

neither of her parents
are still alive.

But get this:
They owned property

that is 2.8 miles
from the canyon crime scene.

- Who lives there now?
- Nobody.

It was condemned by the county
eight years ago.

As far as I can tell,
it's abandoned.

All right, send the coordinates
to Rossi, Blake and Morgan.

- I'm doing it.
- HOTCH: Thanks.

(crickets chirping)

It is time.

(crying):
No! No! No!

(grunting)

(shouting, jeering)

LELAND:
Move aside.

(grunting)

- (shouting)
- LELAND: Let us pass.

- (shouting)
- Guilty! She's guilty!

Wait.

Wait. Why is my daughter
tied up?

You said she was free to go.

(shouting)

- (crying)
- You are a witch.

She is your daughter.

It's in the blood.

- No! - The court promised mercy,
and you shall have it.

You will be burned first.

YVONNE:
Burned? No!

Thus spared seeing your daughter
suffer the flames.

YVONNE:
No! No!

(screams)

(crying)
She's a little girl.

She's never hurt anyone.

(cries)

The accused have been convicted

of the horrible crime
of witchcraft

- No. No.
- And found guilty.

Sentence will now
be carried out.

(shouting)

YVONNE (crying):
Please. Please don't do this.

(shouting)

No.

No, don't do this.
(sobbing)

(crying)

MORGAN:
Leland Duncan, FBI!

BLAKE:
Set the torch down and lay flat

- on your stomach.
- ROSSI: Drop the torch now!

MORGAN:
Do it.

LELAND:
No.

No, stay!

They're just phantoms,

conjured by these witches
to confuse you!

- YVONNE: No...
- (gunshot)

(Yvonne crying)

- MORGAN: I'm coming.
- (crying): Get me down.

- It's okay. I got you. You're
gonna be okay. - Get me down.

- I got you.
- (crying)

(gasping)

YVONNE (crying):
Kylie.

My baby.

Baby, wake up. Wake up.

Oh, God.

KYLIE:
Mom.

Mommy.

(sirens wailing in distance)

(mariachi music playing)

JJ:
So, I looked it up.

- No witches were ever burned
at the stake in Salem. - Really?

Death by fire was strictly
a European thing.

Moral of the story:

- Be selective where you practice
your witchcraft. - Mm-hmm.

- (JJ chuckles)
- (knocking)

GARCIA:
What? What? What?

- HOTCH: Um... - I thought
you said you couldn't come.

Well, Jack got a last-minute
sleepover invitation,

- so hope it's okay.
- Yes, of course.

Of course.
And happy almost birthday.

- I will keep it on the DL.
- Thank you.

Okay, everybody,
I guess it's time to start.

- Here you go, sir.
- Thank you.

- Thank you.
- Uh, I want to thank everybody

for doing this with me.

And our altar is brimming,

and I just feel so blessed
to have you all here.

I will start. Um...

This is my mom and dad.

I miss them.

And this is my cat Simba,

with his usual bowl of soda pop.

- He was a weird cat.
- (others chuckle)

(chuckling):
Uh, okay. Who's next?

Uh, okay. Well, uh, this is...

my sister Roslyn.

Ros. She always

dreamt that someday
she'd live in Par-ee.

So, um, it didn't happen, but...

thought this would bring her
some happiness.

Private First Class
Darryl Jenson.

We lost him
during the Tet Offensive.

MORGAN:
What are the tickets?

ROSSI: Opening day,
next season, Wrigley,

right behind the home dugout.

Jenson was a die-hard Cubs fan.

Sweet.

Um...

My mom.

She was the one

who got me into crossword
puzzles... no erasing allowed...

which... got me
into linguistics.

You said we could bring
more than one, right?

GARCIA:
Oh, yes.

This is a come-one,
come-all altar.

REID:
This is Nikola Tesla.

I figured he's probably

been inventing things
on the other side,

so hopefully
he'll bring something to us.

Guess that's me. Okay.

I brought...

my pops.

He was a cigar aficionado,
big-time.

(chuckles) And, actually, Rossi,
he was also a huge Cubbies fan,

so I was thinking maybe he
and Private Jenson over there,

maybe they could go
to the game together.

- They can sort that out when
they get here. - (others chuckle)

ROSSI:
Well,

I guess this is
proof positive that...

ancestry ain't all bad.

Well, a toast

to the... 30 or 40 of us.

- Cheers.
- Cheers. - BLAKE: Cheers.

- JJ: Cheers.
- HOTCH: Cheers.

- ROSSI: Salud.
- Ooh!

(Rossi speaks Spanish)

(song playing in Spanish)

GARCIA:
Mitch Albom said,

"Death ends a life,
not a relationship."
