They just like setting fires.

that even though
not all arsonists are killers,

00:04:36,790 --> 00:04:38,460

Slower, too.

168
00:10:04,420 --> 00:10:06,540
Less oxygen, less fuel.

169
00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:11,120
He used a lot more gas in the lobby.
Place went up like a haystack.

170
00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:13,250
Yeah, what about the sprinklers?

171
00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:16,330
Bastard turned off the main water line.

172
00:10:24,670 --> 00:10:27,210
You know, the UnSub could
have set this fire first.

173
00:10:27,210 --> 00:10:30,420
The lobby burned hotter and faster,
forcing the victims out this way,

174
00:10:30,420 --> 00:10:31,960
where he'd already blocked the exit.

175
00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:34,000
And where the smoke
from the slower burning fire

176
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:36,040
-had already built up.-(PEOPLE SCREAMING)

177
00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:38,330
And whoever did do this
knew that even if the fire department

178
00:10:38,330 --> 00:10:40,710
got here in time to stop the fires...

179
00:10:42,250 --> 00:10:43,290
VAN: Cathy!

180
00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:46,330
...they still wouldn't
have been able to save them.

181
00:10:54,500 --> 00:10:58,620
TOM: Me and Danny are both
volunteers, the whole company is.

182
00:10:58,620 --> 00:11:02,040
We've got about 20 firefighters,
plus our own ladder truck and pumper.

183
00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:05,210
And EMT runs a two-person crew 24/7.

184
00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:11,420
-We managed to get it out pretty fast.
-Not fast enough. All those people.

185
00:11:12,540 --> 00:11:14,080
Who would have so much hate?

186
00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:16,750
Someone whose rage
has been building for years.

187
00:11:16,750 --> 00:11:18,380
What he did... (SCOFFS)

188
00:11:18,380 --> 00:11:20,960
The UnSub knew exactly
what he was doing.

189
00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:23,750
He's been practicing for a long time.

190
00:11:23,750 --> 00:11:27,960
Nuisance fires, vandalism.
He may have even burned himself.

191
00:11:27,960 --> 00:11:30,960
Well, it sounds like every teenage boy
who's ever grown up in Royal.

192
00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:35,250
I don't know if you've noticed,
but there's really not a lot to do here.

193
00:11:35,250 --> 00:11:37,620
You have our reports.
All the records are in there.

194
00:11:37,620 --> 00:11:38,830
ROSSI: Maybe so.

195
00:11:38,830 --> 00:11:43,210
But we all know there are times
when things don't get reported.

196
00:11:44,290 --> 00:11:48,210
Times when you're just trying
to protect someone,

197
00:11:49,210 --> 00:11:52,790
just trying to, uh,
make the situation go away.

198
00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:56,880
We're just trying to help people out.

199
00:11:56,880 --> 00:12:00,210
Sometimes the best way to do that
is to forget that it ever happened.

200
00:12:00,920 --> 00:12:03,580
We're gonna need to know
about those times.

201
00:12:08,710 --> 00:12:10,330
FBI Command Center, Royal
9:45 AM, 15 HOURS AFTER THE FIRE

202
00:12:10,330 --> 00:12:11,580
I have been through every piece
of footage I could find.

203
00:12:11,580 --> 00:12:12,960
No one sticks out at the fires.

204
00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:15,460
No one appears to be
inappropriately voyeuristic.

205
00:12:15,460 --> 00:12:17,330
-No one with bandages.
-HOTCH: Garcia?

206
00:12:17,330 --> 00:12:21,420
Yeah. (SIGHS) No firebug firefighter,
no flammable juvie records.

207
00:12:21,420 --> 00:12:24,670
However, of the 128 reported instances

208
00:12:24,670 --> 00:12:27,420
of petty larceny and vandalism
in the last year,

209
00:12:27,420 --> 00:12:28,960
there are a few names
that sort of stick out.

210
00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:32,540
So, I'm emailing you those photos.
I also have a pattern

211
00:12:32,540 --> 00:12:36,420
of small gasoline fires about
300 miles away, a town called Franklin.

212
00:12:36,420 --> 00:12:39,170
I got a, uh, trash can fire,
a Christmas tree

213
00:12:39,170 --> 00:12:41,670
and an abandoned shed.
And I've sent you that file.

214
00:12:41,670 --> 00:12:43,460
Given the 500-mile search radius,

215
00:12:43,460 --> 00:12:46,330
there's bound to be a certain
percentage of nuisance fires.

216
00:12:46,330 --> 00:12:48,380
We can't necessarily
attribute that to our UnSub.

217
00:12:48,380 --> 00:12:51,170
That's true, but only 7%
of arsonists use wooden matches

218
00:12:51,170 --> 00:12:53,290
with a gasoline accelerant,
our UnSub and this guy.

219
00:12:53,290 --> 00:12:55,330
-Nice work, Garcia.
-HOTCH: What about the victims?

220
00:12:55,330 --> 00:12:58,080
Well, given that I've had less than
eight hours, I can't really give you...

221
00:12:58,080 --> 00:13:00,210
I appreciate the time constraint.
What have you found?

222
00:13:00,210 --> 00:13:03,250
GARCIA: (STUTTERS) A mixture.
All ages and genders.

223
00:13:03,250 --> 00:13:06,210
Mostly local.
A cousin visiting from a nearby town.

224
00:13:06,210 --> 00:13:08,710
Is there any crossover between
the victims in the two towns, Garcia?

225
00:13:08,710 --> 00:13:11,920
Hey, it's a little teeny tiny town.
There's nothing but crossover.

226
00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:15,540
Um, Alex Nagel.
He was killed in the rec center.

227
00:13:15,540 --> 00:13:17,420
Now, not only was Nagel

228
00:13:17,420 --> 00:13:19,290
an upstanding member
of the local church,

229
00:13:19,290 --> 00:13:23,000
he also owned quite a bit of real estate
in Royal, including the movie theater.

230
00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:25,420
Windy Kennedy was killed
at the movie theater.

231
00:13:25,420 --> 00:13:28,540
She was a single mom, she worked a
double shift at the local discount store,

232
00:13:28,540 --> 00:13:31,710
and she still managed to find time
to volunteer at the rec center.

233
00:13:31,710 --> 00:13:34,380
I also have a third grade teacher,
third cousins,

234
00:13:34,380 --> 00:13:35,920
and at least three potential affairs.

235
00:13:35,920 --> 00:13:38,380
HOTCH: You're gonna have to start
weeding out some of these, Garcia.

236
00:13:38,380 --> 00:13:41,580
Third cousins and religious affiliations
are probably not gonna help us.

237
00:13:41,580 --> 00:13:44,540
I need to know who had enemies,
who had secrets, who was a target.

238
00:13:44,540 --> 00:13:47,500
Uh, with all due respect, sir,
my brain muscles are comfortable

239
00:13:47,500 --> 00:13:50,290
with being intuitive with information,
not people.

240
00:13:50,290 --> 00:13:52,830
Looking at people like that
is not part of my job description.

241
00:13:53,500 --> 00:13:54,580
I'm not a profiler.

242
00:13:54,580 --> 00:13:56,500
Well, you're gonna have to be.
We don't have much time.

243
00:13:57,290 --> 00:14:00,460
You two look into the nuisance fires.
Garcia, stay on the radio.

244
00:14:00,920 --> 00:14:02,080
Royal Cornerstone Church
2:00 PM, 19 HOURS AFTER THE FIRE

245
00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:06,250

the valley of the shadow of death,

246
00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:11,830
I will fear no evil,
for thou art with me."

247
00:14:11,830 --> 00:14:14,380
RAWLINGS: You said large gatherings
aren't a good idea,

248
00:14:14,380 --> 00:14:16,500
-but this service...
-Is not a target.

249
00:14:16,500 --> 00:14:19,580
The UnSub wouldn't want
to interrupt the grief he created.

250
00:14:20,330 --> 00:14:22,210
But he may want to watch it.

251
00:14:22,210 --> 00:14:24,960
I'm looking for inappropriate
behavior for the situation.

252
00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:27,040
Too much emotion, too little emotion.

253
00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:30,290
Someone who keeps to himself,
watching others' reactions.

254
00:14:30,920 --> 00:14:34,580
Or someone who insinuates himself
too closely into someone else's grief.

255
00:14:34,580 --> 00:14:37,380
We're focusing on known offenders
with a propensity for arson.

256
00:14:38,040 --> 00:14:39,620
GARCIA: Brian Miller, 18 years old,

257
00:14:39,620 --> 00:14:42,620
and he's been vandalizing property
for almost all 18 of them.

258
00:14:43,170 --> 00:14:45,880
MINISTER:"...thy staff, they comfort me."

259
00:14:45,880 --> 00:14:49,080
GARCIA: John Clayton, 27.
He set fire to his neighbor's garage,

260
00:14:49,080 --> 00:14:51,000
claimed it was an accident,
but he filed a complaint

261
00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:52,960
the previous month
that the neighbor killed his dog.

262
00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:54,960
MINISTER:"Thou anointest my head with oil,

263
00:14:57,120 --> 00:14:59,330
my cup runneth over.

264
00:15:01,120 --> 00:15:06,960
Surely goodness and mercy
shall follow me all the days of my life."

People, please, calm down.
I'm sure it's nothing.

271
00:15:24,460 --> 00:15:25,670
Thanks.

272
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:30,960
-He's not here.
-You're sure?

273
00:15:31,420 --> 00:15:32,750
(SIREN WAILING)

274
00:15:54,380 --> 00:15:56,670
This doesn't make sense.
He should have been in the memorial.

275
00:15:56,670 --> 00:16:00,250
He shouldn't have been able
to resist seeing the damage he'd done.

276
00:16:09,210 --> 00:16:10,460
Captain.

277
00:16:10,460 --> 00:16:13,290
Hey, Captain, can we get a word?

278
00:16:14,540 --> 00:16:17,960
It started in the kitchen.
Looks like he came around to the back

279
00:16:17,960 --> 00:16:19,880
and tossed a cocktail
through the window.

280
00:16:19,880 --> 00:16:23,830
Different delivery system.
That's a big deviance from his MO.

281
00:16:23,830 --> 00:16:26,670
But perfect for this location.
I don't know, though.

282
00:16:26,670 --> 00:16:28,080
A space this small,
he shouldn't have been able

283
00:16:28,080 --> 00:16:30,080
to pour the gasoline
without being noticed.

284
00:16:30,080 --> 00:16:31,580
Nobody saw a thing?

285
00:16:32,250 --> 00:16:34,620
Witnesses say
they heard an explosion.

286
00:16:34,620 --> 00:16:36,620
Well, I guarantee you,
he stuck around to watch.

287
00:16:40,170 --> 00:16:41,250
(WHISPERS) Boom.

288
00:16:41,540 --> 00:16:43,670
MORGAN: This bar matches
his previous locations.

289
00:16:43,670 --> 00:16:46,540
-It's another local hot spot.
-ROSSI: Only five victims this time.

290
00:16:46,540 --> 00:16:49,540
-Why lower the body count?
-Rossi.

291
00:16:51,620 --> 00:16:53,960
There's something else that's different.

292
00:16:53,960 --> 00:16:55,580
Front and back?

293
00:16:55,580 --> 00:16:57,500
He really wanted to make sure
nobody got out this time.

294
00:16:57,500 --> 00:17:00,080
But why bother?
No one made it out of the other ones.

295
00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:02,120
Maybe he knew the fire department
would show up sooner.

296
00:17:02,120 --> 00:17:04,790
Yeah, we're faster now.
Practice makes perfect.

297
00:17:04,790 --> 00:17:08,460
What the hell difference does it make?
And what good are you guys doing us?

298
00:17:08,460 --> 00:17:11,420
You see chains,
figure he didn't want anyone to get out.

299
00:17:11,420 --> 00:17:15,210
-I could have told you that.
-We're not criticizing anyone.

300
00:17:15,210 --> 00:17:17,080
Our job is to look at the same things
you do,

301
00:17:17,080 --> 00:17:20,120
but to try to see them
from a different perspective.

302
00:17:20,120 --> 00:17:22,120
-Sure.
-Look, all due respect, Captain,

303
00:17:22,120 --> 00:17:23,920
but you look at that chain
and you say the killer

304
00:17:23,920 --> 00:17:25,960
wanted to make sure
nobody got out, right?

305
00:17:25,960 --> 00:17:28,290
But we look at that chain
and we see a little more.

306
00:17:28,290 --> 00:17:30,880
That chain is different
than the first two fires.

307
00:17:30,880 --> 00:17:33,540
Now, either we're looking
at an entirely new arsonist

308
00:17:33,540 --> 00:17:36,420
or this UnSub wanted to make
absolutely certain that nobody got out.

309
00:17:36,420 --> 00:17:38,540
Now, if this is true,
that means something changed.

310
00:17:38,540 --> 00:17:41,960
Maybe his emotions changed,
maybe his agenda, but something.

311
00:17:41,960 --> 00:17:45,500
See, this chain tells us
this is the fire that matters.

312
00:17:45,500 --> 00:17:47,580
This fire's gonna help us
catch this guy.

313
00:17:52,920 --> 00:17:55,830
My father was chief here
for over 30 years.

314
00:17:56,460 --> 00:17:59,210
Last two weeks, I've lost more folks
than he did in his whole career.

315
00:17:59,210 --> 00:18:01,710
-MALE OFFICER: Agent Prentiss?
-Sorry.

316
00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:04,420
-Chief, what do we know?
-Four dead.

317
00:18:04,420 --> 00:18:06,330
The bartender, Nancy,
is still hanging on.

318
00:18:06,330 --> 00:18:07,420
How bad is she?

319
00:18:07,420 --> 00:18:09,500
Pretty bad. She was unconscious
when they took her.

320
00:18:09,500 --> 00:18:11,380
If we get a chance,
we need to talk to her.

321
00:18:11,380 --> 00:18:13,120
I want to. I heard it on the radio.

322
00:18:13,120 --> 00:18:16,880
-God, I'm sorry, Tina.
-I just talked to him on the phone.

323
00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:19,250
He said that he was coming home.
(CRYING)

324
00:18:19,250 --> 00:18:21,960
Tina's fiancé, Jason, owned the bar.

325
00:18:21,960 --> 00:18:23,830
He was inside when it all happened.

326
00:18:25,960 --> 00:18:27,880
When's it gonna stop?

327
00:18:27,880 --> 00:18:29,210
Anything?

328
00:18:29,210 --> 00:18:31,540
We've got a completely different MO.

329
00:18:31,540 --> 00:18:36,040
Assuming it's not a copycat, we know
why the UnSub wasn't at the funeral.

330
00:18:36,040 --> 00:18:39,080
Someone in that bar was more
important to him than anything else.

331
00:18:39,080 --> 00:18:40,210
Morgan, call Garcia.

332
00:18:40,210 --> 00:18:42,380
Tell her we need to know absolutely
everything there is to know

333
00:18:42,380 --> 00:18:44,670
about these five victims,
and we need to know it now.

334
00:18:44,670 --> 00:18:47,540
I'll go tell Chief Carlson
we want to talk to his officers.

Hey. How's Miss Smart and Sexy
doing today?

00:18:56,710 --> 00:18:58,710
Fair warning, cupcake.
As much as I love you

339
00:18:58,710 --> 00:19:02,790
and our witty banter,
I am all out of witty and banter,

340
00:19:02,790 --> 00:19:05,500
-and am struggling with love.
-What's wrong, baby?

341
00:19:05,500 --> 00:19:09,540
I am standing at the crossroads of
31 lives, and what I see is a train wreck.

Uh, this is what I mean.

Here we go. Uh, Flip Phillips.
He beat his wife.

344
00:19:13,670 --> 00:19:14,880
It went on for years,

345
00:19:14,880 --> 00:19:16,960
although you wouldn't know it
if you looked at the police reports

346
00:19:16,960 --> 00:19:19,920
because that's one of the perks
of being the mayor.

347
00:19:19,920 --> 00:19:23,210
David Alexander,
he sued his boss for $5 million

348
00:19:23,210 --> 00:19:26,580
over something totally lame.
And what makes it even more ironic,

349
00:19:26,580 --> 00:19:28,790
is that he was sleeping
with the boss's daughter.

350
00:19:28,790 --> 00:19:32,120
And then there is... Where is she?
Oh! One of the town councilwomen,

351
00:19:32,120 --> 00:19:35,290
now, she had a terminally ill husband
and also three boyfriends

352
00:19:35,290 --> 00:19:37,250
under the age of 20.

353
00:19:37,960 --> 00:19:41,380
I want to believe that the world is
just teeming with awesome people,

354
00:19:41,380 --> 00:19:44,080
but all of this is giving me great pause.

-I want to go back to cyberspace.
-Well, I'm sorry, sweetheart, not yet.

(GASPING)

362
00:20:07,790 --> 00:20:10,000
All of the first four fires,
the convenience store,

363
00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:12,330
the restaurant, the rec center
and the movie theater,

364
00:20:12,330 --> 00:20:14,420
are indicative of a revenge arsonist.

365
00:20:14,420 --> 00:20:17,500
That's someone who's seeking
retaliation for an injustice,

366
00:20:17,500 --> 00:20:19,460
whether real or imagined.

367
00:20:19,460 --> 00:20:22,500
Revenge arsonists often target
group headquarters,

368
00:20:22,500 --> 00:20:24,580
such as churches
or government buildings.

369
00:20:24,580 --> 00:20:27,080
HOTCH: This UnSub has chosen
local gathering places

370
00:20:27,080 --> 00:20:29,540
with large numbers
of potential victims inside.

371
00:20:29,540 --> 00:20:32,210
It's clear to us that he's chosen
to target this community as a whole.

372
00:20:32,210 --> 00:20:36,670
That tells us that the UnSub is a local,
someone who lives or grew up in Royal.

373
00:20:36,670 --> 00:20:38,540
MORGAN: But he feels like an outsider,

374
00:20:38,960 --> 00:20:41,040
as if this community has wronged him
in some type of way.

375
00:20:41,040 --> 00:20:42,880
These fires are just
his way of striking back,

376
00:20:42,880 --> 00:20:44,380
trying to draw attention to himself.

377
00:20:44,380 --> 00:20:46,710
PRENTISS: These fires not only
killed innocent people,

378
00:20:46,710 --> 00:20:50,460
they also gave the UnSub
a sense of power over the community.

-(SIRENS BLARING)

00:20:54,120 --> 00:20:56,210
But somehow those fires were lacking.

381
00:20:56,210 --> 00:20:58,880
They didn't exact
the correct measure of punishment

382
00:20:58,880 --> 00:21:00,210
or attract enough attention.

383
00:21:00,210 --> 00:21:02,710
Or they didn't attract the attention
of the right person.

384
00:21:02,710 --> 00:21:06,250
So, with the bar fire, he didn't increase
the number of victims,

385
00:21:06,250 --> 00:21:07,460
he reduced them.

386
00:21:08,120 --> 00:21:10,000
(INAUDIBLE)

387
00:21:16,460 --> 00:21:18,420
That's why the third fire is key.

388
00:21:18,420 --> 00:21:20,960
He's not striking out at the community
as a whole anymore.

389
00:21:20,960 --> 00:21:23,580
He's now striking out
at one or more individuals.

390
00:21:29,750 --> 00:21:31,290
You're sure it's the same guy?

391
00:21:31,290 --> 00:21:35,250
The odds of another arsonist in a town
this small are almost negligible.

392
00:21:35,250 --> 00:21:37,120
That's why we need to concentrate
on these victims.

393
00:21:37,120 --> 00:21:38,790
These five will hold the key.

394
00:21:38,790 --> 00:21:41,460
So, all we gotta do is just figure out
who would've wanted to hurt them.

395
00:21:41,460 --> 00:21:42,830
It may not be that simple.

396
00:21:42,830 --> 00:21:46,040
This type of rage tends to stem
from things that people keep buried,

397
00:21:46,040 --> 00:21:47,960
things they just don't talk about.

398

we're gonna have to dig deeply.

there was a guy there before the fire.

He didn't speak to anybody,

She didn't seem to recognize him.

so she knew the owner and the boozer,

JJ: What, like a disguise?

459
00:24:56,750 --> 00:24:59,210
The fire captain said the UnSub
knew the layout of the movie theater.

460
00:24:59,210 --> 00:25:00,670
He used that knowledge to light the fire.

461
00:25:00,670 --> 00:25:03,290
But at the bar,
the UnSub kept changing his seats.

462
00:25:03,290 --> 00:25:06,960
Which would give him
a better view of the entrances and exits.

463
00:25:06,960 --> 00:25:08,380
So, he was studying the layout.

464
00:25:08,380 --> 00:25:10,040
He wasn't familiar with the area.

465
00:25:12,580 --> 00:25:14,670

and he moved away?

Garcia, uh, what year was that bar built?

467
00:25:17,170 --> 00:25:21,500
Uh, the bar was built five, six years ago.

468
00:25:21,500 --> 00:25:22,920
And what about the movie theater?

469
00:25:22,920 --> 00:25:25,210
The movie theater was built in the '40s.
It was a single screen.

470
00:25:25,210 --> 00:25:27,170
They divided it two years ago.

471
00:25:27,170 --> 00:25:29,120

-GARCIA: No, none that I could find.-And what about the bar?

477
00:25:51,710 --> 00:25:53,620
Did Jason buy it from someone?
Take over their business?

478
00:25:53,620 --> 00:25:55,210
No, Jason started the bar himself.

479
00:25:55,210 --> 00:25:58,380
He named it after his father who,
by the way, was the sole beneficiary.

480
00:25:58,380 --> 00:25:59,830
Makes sense. He was single.

481
00:25:59,830 --> 00:26:01,670
Well, he was single,
up until a couple of days ago,

482
00:26:01,670 --> 00:26:05,920
because two days ago,
Jason married Tina Wheeler.

483
00:26:05,920 --> 00:26:07,290
The EMT.

484
00:26:07,290 --> 00:26:09,670
Yeah. I checked her out originally
as one of the first respondents,

485
00:26:09,670 --> 00:26:11,460
but her work records look squeaky clean,

486
00:26:11,460 --> 00:26:14,290
so I let it go until I realized
she had married Jason.

487
00:26:14,290 --> 00:26:15,710
And then I did some
more aggressive digging,

488
00:26:15,710 --> 00:26:17,920
which I should remind you,
you asked me to do,

489
00:26:17,920 --> 00:26:21,330
and it turns out that Tina's parents
died in a fire when she was five.

490
00:26:21,580 --> 00:26:24,290
After they died,
her and her brother, Tommy,

491
00:26:24,290 --> 00:26:26,750
were sent to live
with their grandparents in Royal.

492
00:26:26,750 --> 00:26:28,080
Send us everything you have on them.

493
00:26:28,080 --> 00:26:30,790
Well, that's just it. I got...

494
00:26:30,790 --> 00:26:32,500
I've got plenty on Tina,

495
00:26:32,500 --> 00:26:35,080
but I, I can't really find anything
on her brother.

496
00:26:35,080 --> 00:26:37,830
Tina, she, uh, lived in Royal,

497
00:26:37,830 --> 00:26:39,960
she went to a community college
a few towns over,

498
00:26:39,960 --> 00:26:43,210
got a degree, took a job,
worked hard, married Jason.

499
00:26:43,210 --> 00:26:47,500
(STUTTERS) But Tommy,
it's like he just disappeared.

500
00:26:47,500 --> 00:26:48,920
Find him, Garcia.

501
00:27:44,120 --> 00:27:45,620
Lana Perry, please?

502
00:27:47,920 --> 00:27:50,620
Hi, this is Penelope Garcia of the FBI.

503
00:27:51,380 --> 00:27:54,710
I wanted to ask you some questions.
Do you have a second?

504
00:27:54,710 --> 00:27:57,290
(STUTTERS) Yes, I wanted to ask you
some questions

505
00:27:57,290 --> 00:28:00,880
about a student, um,
named Tommy Wheeler.

506
00:28:09,920 --> 00:28:12,500
Okay, thank you.
Thank you very much.

507
00:28:14,080 --> 00:28:15,380
Oh, my God.

508
00:28:19,210 --> 00:28:21,040
Sir, I think I have something.

509
00:28:22,620 --> 00:28:24,790
We believe Jason Elliot
may have been the target.

510
00:28:24,790 --> 00:28:27,250
-Jason?
-The bartender said that Jason stopped by

511
00:28:27,250 --> 00:28:30,330
the bar at the same time each day to
pick up the cash and take it to the bank.

512
00:28:30,330 --> 00:28:31,880
PRENTISS: Which would have
made him an easy target

513
00:28:31,880 --> 00:28:33,880
for anyone who knew his schedule.

514
00:28:33,880 --> 00:28:36,710
CARLSON: I don't get all this.
Uh, Jason was a good man.

515
00:28:37,210 --> 00:28:40,250
It may sound corny to you,
but everybody loved him.

516
00:28:40,250 --> 00:28:43,250
Two days ago,
Jason Elliot married Tina Wheeler.

517
00:28:43,250 --> 00:28:45,620
RAWLINGS:
Yeah, she told me about it yesterday.

518
00:28:45,620 --> 00:28:48,540
Uh, all the tragedies
made them not want to wait.

519
00:28:48,540 --> 00:28:49,830
It's a damn shame.

520
00:28:49,830 --> 00:28:52,330
What can you tell us
about Tina's brother, Tommy?

521
00:28:54,330 --> 00:28:55,540
Tommy?

522
00:28:57,210 --> 00:29:00,290
Um, nobody's seen him around here
in more than 10 years.

523
00:29:00,290 --> 00:29:03,670
Uh, we actually think they may have.
They just might not recognize him.

524
00:29:03,670 --> 00:29:05,040
RAWLINGS: How is that possible?

525
00:29:05,040 --> 00:29:07,960
REID: Well, he's aged 10 years,
and he'd make sure to go unnoticed.

526
00:29:07,960 --> 00:29:10,330
-Garcia?
-GARCIA: Tommy Wheeler.

527
00:29:11,210 --> 00:29:13,500
Little Tommy Wheeler.
You remember him.

528
00:29:13,500 --> 00:29:16,250
He and his sister, Tina,
moved to Royal when he was five.

529
00:29:16,250 --> 00:29:18,000
Doc Rawlings was his pediatrician.

530
00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:20,000
Apparently,
early medical records indicated

531
00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:21,960
Tommy may have been
emotionally unbalanced.

532
00:29:21,960 --> 00:29:25,380
Tommy was a little unstable.
Uh, his parents dying brought that out.

533
00:29:25,380 --> 00:29:27,120
Granted, I don't have a medical degree,

534
00:29:27,120 --> 00:29:30,460
but my guess is watching
his parents die in a fire

535
00:29:30,460 --> 00:29:32,580
didn't help
Tommy's emotional well-being.

536
00:29:32,580 --> 00:29:34,880
What about Tina?
How did the fires affect her?

537
00:29:34,880 --> 00:29:39,500
Uh, Tina wasn't as damaged by it
as he was.

538
00:29:39,500 --> 00:29:42,500
-Uh, she adjusted more quickly.
-She was Tommy's lifeline.

539
00:29:42,500 --> 00:29:43,790
REID: She was more than that.

540
00:29:43,790 --> 00:29:46,500
In a situation like this, no parents,
new environment,

541
00:29:46,500 --> 00:29:49,210
grandparents probably too old
to take care of them,

542
00:29:49,210 --> 00:29:53,210
-Tina became Tommy's whole world.
-Sister, mother, family.

543
00:29:53,210 --> 00:29:54,540
They were very close.

544
00:29:54,540 --> 00:29:57,420
Close enough that Tina distorted
Tommy's love map.

545
00:29:57,420 --> 00:30:01,170
The way an individual gives
or receives love, their love map,

546
00:30:01,170 --> 00:30:03,290
is established by the age of six.

547
00:30:04,080 --> 00:30:05,620
With the death of the parents,

548
00:30:05,620 --> 00:30:08,380
Tommy's love map revolved
exclusively around Tina.

549
00:30:08,380 --> 00:30:10,920
CARLSON: Yeah. Yeah, it was like
they were in their own little world.

550
00:30:10,920 --> 00:30:13,710
By the time they were eight,
they even had their own language.

551
00:30:13,710 --> 00:30:15,790
-It was a bit disturbing.
-GARCIA: But understandable.

552
00:30:15,790 --> 00:30:17,880
Perfectly understandable.

553
00:30:17,880 --> 00:30:19,670
-Maybe.
-HOTCH: So what happened?

554
00:30:19,670 --> 00:30:21,080
GARCIA: What do you think happened?
People talked.

555
00:30:21,080 --> 00:30:22,830
That's the only real occupation in Royal.

556
00:30:22,830 --> 00:30:24,210
CARLSON: There were rumors.

557
00:30:24,210 --> 00:30:26,880
People said Tommy
and Tina were too close.

558
00:30:26,880 --> 00:30:29,790
Tommy Wheeler, my God,
that's your sister!

559
00:30:30,790 --> 00:30:32,460
Nothing was ever confirmed, though.

560
00:30:32,460 --> 00:30:34,960
No, it wasn't.
But then the truth didn't matter.

561
00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:39,620
After the rumors started,
things got ugly.

562
00:30:39,620 --> 00:30:42,500
People pointed fingers.
Tommy got expelled from school.

563
00:30:42,500 --> 00:30:45,290
-Based on nothing but hearsay.-Not true, the school had cause.

564
00:30:45,290 --> 00:30:46,580
-GARCIA: No, they didn't.-Garcia.

565
00:30:46,580 --> 00:30:48,120
I spoke to his teacher.

566
00:30:48,120 --> 00:30:49,960
She told me how the whole school
and the whole town

567
00:30:49,960 --> 00:30:51,670
turned against him based
on nothing but a rumor.

568
00:30:51,670 --> 00:30:53,540
-HOTCH: Garcia.-She also told me another rumor.

569
00:30:53,540 --> 00:30:54,790
In this one, 14-year-old Tommy

570
00:30:54,790 --> 00:30:57,170
was beaten within an inch
of his life by adults,

571
00:30:57,170 --> 00:30:58,210
grown men.

572
00:30:59,420 --> 00:31:01,960
I didn't hear about it
until after the fact.

573
00:31:01,960 --> 00:31:03,080
There was nothing I could do.

574
00:31:03,080 --> 00:31:06,540
Broken bones, punctured lung,
all because of a rumor.

575
00:31:06,540 --> 00:31:09,500
I couldn't go after anyone
based only on my suspicions.

576
00:31:09,500 --> 00:31:12,620
Nobody was talking about it.
Not even Tommy.

577
00:31:13,420 --> 00:31:15,500
I spoke to his grandparents
and told them what to do.

578
00:31:15,500 --> 00:31:18,670
Yeah. So they moved Tommy
to a Colorado boarding school.

579
00:31:18,670 --> 00:31:21,290
They cut off all ties
between him and his sister.

580
00:31:21,290 --> 00:31:23,210
It was as if Tommy never even existed.

581
00:31:24,040 --> 00:31:26,960
It was for the best.
They would have killed him.

582
00:31:28,170 --> 00:31:30,750
If what Garcia said is true,
then this town's actions

583
00:31:30,750 --> 00:31:33,330
went a long way towards
making Tommy who he is.

584
00:31:36,960 --> 00:31:38,540
We need to talk to Tina.

585
00:31:52,170 --> 00:31:55,250
CARLSON: Go on around, check the back.
MALE OFFICER: Yes, sir.

586
00:31:59,000 --> 00:32:00,380
(KNOCKING ON DOOR)

587
00:32:00,380 --> 00:32:02,670
Tina! It's me, Brad!

588
00:32:04,790 --> 00:32:05,920
Tina!

589
00:32:07,710 --> 00:32:10,080
Morgan, find out if Tina
showed up for work today.

590
00:32:16,500 --> 00:32:17,580
ROSSI: Tina!

591
00:32:20,040 --> 00:32:21,170
Tina!

592
00:32:22,120 --> 00:32:23,290
ROSSI: Tina!

593
00:32:25,580 --> 00:32:26,580
Clear!

594
00:32:30,750 --> 00:32:32,080
Nobody's here.

595
00:32:32,080 --> 00:32:33,460
(CELL PHONE RINGS)

596
00:32:35,250 --> 00:32:36,710
Yeah, Morgan.

597
00:32:37,420 --> 00:32:39,670
Tina didn't show up for her shift.
Thanks.

598
00:32:39,670 --> 00:32:42,960
-She left her cell phone.
-Do you think it was Tommy?

599
00:32:44,540 --> 00:32:45,670
Yes?

600
00:32:47,620 --> 00:32:48,620
Tommy?

601
00:32:51,120 --> 00:32:55,120
Put out an APB for Tommy and Tina.
Close all roads in and out of Royal.

602
00:32:55,120 --> 00:32:58,120
No, no, he loves her.
He wouldn't hurt her.

603
00:32:58,120 --> 00:32:59,790
He will if she rejects him.

604
00:33:05,830 --> 00:33:07,460
According to his former teacher,

605
00:33:07,460 --> 00:33:10,040
Tommy Wheeler enrolled
in a Colorado boarding school

606
00:33:10,040 --> 00:33:11,330
under the name Thomas Boren.

607
00:33:11,330 --> 00:33:13,000
That's his dead mother's maiden name.

608
00:33:13,000 --> 00:33:17,380
I tracked down his records.
He was at that school for half a year

609
00:33:17,380 --> 00:33:20,250
before he landed in juvie,
where he resided for the next three.

610
00:33:20,250 --> 00:33:23,170
His psych evals during his stay
were less than stellar.

611
00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:25,580
So, how mad do you think he is?

612
00:33:25,580 --> 00:33:28,000
-Well, if I was him, I'd be pretty mad.-Oh, God.

613
00:33:28,000 --> 00:33:31,500
Garcia, the town did turn against him.
I mean, that's not an excuse...

614
00:33:31,500 --> 00:33:33,330
No, not Tommy. Hotch.

615
00:33:34,080 --> 00:33:36,620
I mean, he did tell me to dig, right?
So I dug.

616
00:33:36,620 --> 00:33:39,750
I mean, granted, I'm not supposed
to have direct contact with the public

617
00:33:39,750 --> 00:33:41,880
or purport myself as an FBI Agent.

618
00:33:41,880 --> 00:33:45,620
And, okay, I'm definitely not supposed
to accuse someone of a felony

619
00:33:45,620 --> 00:33:49,540
or even a misdemeanor, especially
when I don't have any actual evidence.

620
00:33:49,540 --> 00:33:52,710
Oh, God. I did just what they did.

621
00:33:52,710 --> 00:33:56,380
I... I based everything on a rumor.
I got sucked right in. I didn't mean to...

622
00:33:56,380 --> 00:33:58,880
Garcia, come on, baby. Stick to Tommy.

623
00:33:59,580 --> 00:34:01,250
Right. Sorry.

624
00:34:01,960 --> 00:34:05,080
Okay, uh, he was released from juvie
when he was 16.

625
00:34:05,080 --> 00:34:07,040
-That's when the trail goes cold.-You couldn't find him?

626
00:34:07,040 --> 00:34:09,290
No, I said the trail went cold,
I didn't say he disappeared.

627
00:34:09,290 --> 00:34:11,210
This is the part I'm actually good at.

628
00:34:11,210 --> 00:34:14,040
Whatever he did in the interim remains
a mystery, much to my chagrin,

629
00:34:14,040 --> 00:34:18,000
but at the age of 21, Thomas Boren
re-emerged in Franklin, Indiana.

630
00:34:18,000 --> 00:34:19,790
That's 300 miles away from Royal.

631
00:34:19,790 --> 00:34:23,120
Said Mr. Boren purchased copious
amounts of gasoline two months ago.

632
00:34:23,120 --> 00:34:24,670
This is not unusual to do in Indiana,

633
00:34:24,670 --> 00:34:27,620
except that Mr. Tommy Wheeler/Boren
didn't own a farm.

634
00:34:27,620 --> 00:34:29,250
-The nuisance fires.
-GARCIA: Roger that.

635
00:34:29,250 --> 00:34:31,290
And then,
after his little spending spree,

636
00:34:31,290 --> 00:34:33,580
that's when the trail goes cold
and I can't find him.

637
00:34:33,580 --> 00:34:36,250
-(CELL PHONE RINGS)
-Yeah, Hotch?

638
00:34:37,750 --> 00:34:39,500
All right.

639
00:34:39,500 --> 00:34:43,080
Still no sign of Tina.
He wants you to bring Rawlings.

640
00:34:45,040 --> 00:34:47,460
Tina's House
7:00 PM, 48 HOURS AFTER THE FIRE

641
00:34:47,460 --> 00:34:50,420
(SIGHS) We've locked down the town
and put out a state-wide alert,

642
00:34:50,420 --> 00:34:51,960
but so far, nothing.

643
00:34:51,960 --> 00:34:54,380
HOTCH: Where in Royal
would Tommy take his sister?

644
00:34:54,380 --> 00:34:55,500
CARLSON: That's hard to say.

645
00:34:55,500 --> 00:34:57,620
It's likely to be a place
that's important to the both of them,

646
00:34:57,620 --> 00:34:59,540
maybe a place that
they went to together as kids.

647
00:34:59,540 --> 00:35:02,960
I don't know. The only place I can think
of is their grandparents' old house,

648
00:35:02,960 --> 00:35:06,330
-but that was torn down years ago.
-That's not gonna help us.

649
00:35:06,330 --> 00:35:08,670
I've got pictures of her
with the grandparents and friends.

650
00:35:08,670 --> 00:35:11,000
-Nothing with Tommy.
-ROSSI: Garcia was right.

651
00:35:11,000 --> 00:35:14,670
After he was sent away,
Tommy no longer existed,

652
00:35:14,670 --> 00:35:16,120
not even as a memory.

653
00:35:16,120 --> 00:35:19,080
Tommy, please.
What... What are we doing here?

654
00:35:40,580 --> 00:35:41,960
I found Tommy,

655
00:35:42,750 --> 00:35:44,290
or what she had left of him.

656
00:35:48,420 --> 00:35:51,170
You mean everything to me.
Everything.

657
00:35:51,170 --> 00:35:53,880
You and I we're, uh... We're soul mates.

658
00:35:53,880 --> 00:35:56,000
-Tommy.
-(SIGHS) They can't keep us apart anymore.

659
00:35:56,000 --> 00:35:57,210
That's your sister!

660
00:35:57,790 --> 00:35:58,920
They?

661
00:36:02,040 --> 00:36:03,500
Get off of her right now!

662
00:36:04,880 --> 00:36:06,380
My God, Tommy.

663
00:36:08,460 --> 00:36:11,040
All those people, you killed them?

664
00:36:11,040 --> 00:36:13,000
For you. For us.
So that we can be together.

665
00:36:13,000 --> 00:36:15,620
Don't you see that that's
how it was meant to be?

666
00:36:15,620 --> 00:36:17,330
Just the two of us.

667
00:36:17,330 --> 00:36:20,330
-You killed Jas...
-Don't say his name! Don't!

668
00:36:27,120 --> 00:36:28,580
REID: Hotch,
I think we have something here.

669
00:36:28,580 --> 00:36:30,500
What dance is this?

670
00:36:31,540 --> 00:36:35,170
The, uh, Spring Formal. They hold it
every year at the community center.

671
00:36:35,170 --> 00:36:39,000
REID: May of '98. This was just before
Tommy was beaten and forced out of town.

672
00:36:40,000 --> 00:36:42,670
Is this dance something
Tommy and Tina would've gone to?

673
00:36:43,290 --> 00:36:47,040
Yeah, it's a big event. All the kids go,
even if they don't have formal dates.

674
00:36:47,040 --> 00:36:49,580
-So, they could have gone together.
-Absolutely.

TINA: Tommy, don't. Don't do this.

679
00:37:07,620 --> 00:37:10,330
We were together. We were happy.

680
00:37:10,330 --> 00:37:13,080
Tommy, stop it! Please, stop it!

681
00:37:13,710 --> 00:37:16,250
-You have to turn yourself in.
-Remember!

682
00:37:19,420 --> 00:37:20,880
(SOFTLY) I remember.

683
00:37:22,960 --> 00:37:26,920
It can be like this again.
We can be together, okay, just like this.

684
00:37:26,920 --> 00:37:29,540
No, we can't, Tommy. We can't.

685
00:37:29,540 --> 00:37:31,290
-It isn't right!
-It is!

686
00:37:35,620 --> 00:37:36,750
-(CRYING) No.
-It's gonna be all right.

687
00:37:36,750 --> 00:37:38,960
It's gonna be all right, I promise.
You belong with me.

688
00:37:38,960 --> 00:37:42,330
(CRYING) No, I don't! No, I don't!
Please, just let me go!

-HOTCH: Let her go.
-No.

692
00:37:58,620 --> 00:38:02,960
-I'll burn the whole town down.
-No, you won't. Not if you love her.

693
00:38:08,420 --> 00:38:10,210
Look at her, Tommy. Look at her.

694
00:38:15,750 --> 00:38:18,210
If you really love her, then let her go.

695
00:38:22,120 --> 00:38:25,290
-Please, Tommy. Please.
-You don't want to hurt her, son.

HOTCH: "I have loved
to the point of madness.

701

That which is called madness,

702
00:39:05,710 --> 00:39:09,380
that which to me,
is the only sensible way to love."

You guys choose this.

705
00:39:24,170 --> 00:39:25,750
Turning people over like rocks,

706
00:39:25,750 --> 00:39:28,250
and looking at all
their creepy-crawly things underneath.

707
00:39:28,250 --> 00:39:31,540
And I get it. I do.
It's the only way to catch them,

708
00:39:32,330 --> 00:39:36,290
but I want to see the good in people.
I choose to see the good in people.

709
00:39:36,290 --> 00:39:38,540
And getting into someone's mind

710
00:39:38,540 --> 00:39:40,380
and trying to find the God-awful thing
that happened to them

711
00:39:40,380 --> 00:39:42,460
that made them do the God-awful thing
to somebody else

712
00:39:42,460 --> 00:39:46,040
has seriously impaired my ability
to giggle,

713
00:39:46,040 --> 00:39:48,920
and it makes my brain all wonky,
and I don't like it.

714
00:39:50,920 --> 00:39:52,750
-Garcia.
-Yes, sir?

715
00:39:55,750 --> 00:39:59,210
I just wanted to thank you
for your excellent work on this case.

716
00:39:59,210 --> 00:40:02,670
And I understand that what you did
was, for you, very difficult.

717
00:40:03,210 --> 00:40:07,040
But your contributions are essential
to the success of this team.

Thank you, sir.

I know you see the good in people,
Penelope.

720
00:40:12,120 --> 00:40:13,500
Always.

721
00:40:14,250 --> 00:40:16,540
And I would never want you to change that.
