Emily Prentiss : We know you didn't do this.
Dr. Spencer Reid : How did it happen?
Luke Alvez : She was stabbed, multiple times. It looked personal.
Mario Casteneda : We got the results of your blood work. There's cocaine and heroin in your system.
Emily Prentiss : What else?
Mario Casteneda : He was in possession of cocaine and heroin when he was arrested. I found what I need.
Emily Prentiss : No, I need a full tox screen panel. We're looking for Scopolamine.
Mario Casteneda : That'll take longer.
Emily Prentiss : I don't care. I need it.
Luke Alvez : You were given a speedball. The opiates block the dopamine. That's why things go from clear to hazy. The combination of the drugs causes a dissociative state and explains the memory loss. Are you coming down now?
Dr. Spencer Reid : I think so.
-
Emily Prentiss : Thanks, Cruz.
[hanging up, to Rossi]
Emily Prentiss : This is bad.
David Rossi : I know. It doesn't make sense.
Jennifer Jareau : [seeing them approach] What's wrong?
Emily Prentiss : Reid is in jail.
Penelope Garcia : Jail?
Emily Prentiss : In Mexico.
Jennifer Jareau : What the hell is he doing down there?
Emily Prentiss : I don't know. I didn't talk to him. The call came into Cruz from their lead investigator.
Luke Alvez : What's he being held for?
David Rossi : Drug possession. With intent to distribute.
Luke Alvez : What type of drugs?
David Rossi : Cocaine and heroin.
Jennifer Jareau : Oh, my god.
Penelope Garcia : This can't be happening.
Emily Prentiss : We need Lewis and Walker here ASAP.
-
Dr. Tara Lewis : This has got to be Scratch. He was laying low. Now we know why.
Luke Alvez : Crossing the border as a fugitive is a huge risk.
Emily Prentiss : The reward is greater. He's been punishing the team. Now his target is Reid.
Stephen Walker : Peter Lewis dropped off the map after attacking Tara's family. Maybe he's been hiding in Mexico this whole time.
Emily Prentiss : We also have to consider this isn't related to him.
David Rossi : Who else would it be?
Luke Alvez : Drug cartels. Could have threatened Reid and used him as a mule.
David Rossi : Agreed. This could simply be a case of bad luck. Reid was in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Jennifer Jareau : Spence's mom is okay. The home nurse he hired said all is stable.
Penelope Garcia : Oh, thank the stars.
Luke Alvez : How long did he tell the nurse he'd be gone?
Jennifer Jareau : Uh, three days.
Emily Prentiss : That sounds reasonable. After the Palm Springs case, Reid said he had to get back to Houston to talk to his mom's doctor.
Dr. Tara Lewis : Well, Houston is only a five hour drive from the border.
-
Jennifer Jareau : Usually I can read him. I can't believe I didn't pick up on any of this.
Stephen Walker : He didn't want you to, and there's no way you would have guessed he'd end up in Mexico.
Dr. Tara Lewis : The question is why did he go down there?
David Rossi : And why does he have narcotics?
Penelope Garcia : Yeah, exactly. That... that... he... he wouldn't... he wouldn't do that. You got... I'm not gonna share any secrets I'm not supposed to, but those... those drugs were planted on him.
Stephen Walker : Absolutely, but there's something bigger in play. That's why he crossed the border and kept it a secret. There's something he didn't want to share with any of you.
Emily Prentiss : Okay, so what would make him risk everything?
Jennifer Jareau : His mom.
-
Penelope Garcia : Cruz just sent me the arresting report. Hold, please. Translating now. O... kay. It says here that Reid was involved in a high-speed chase.
Emily Prentiss : What? He hardly ever drives.
Penelope Garcia : None of this sounds like him. It says he was wearing jeans, he was really confused. This... according to the arresting officer, he was really high on something.
Jennifer Jareau : No. No. He wouldn't do that. Not after what happened with Tobias Hankel.
Luke Alvez : Who's that?
Emily Prentiss : An offender with D.I.D. who kidnapped and drugged Reid.
Dr. Tara Lewis : When was this?
Jennifer Jareau : Ten years ago.
-
Emily Prentiss : Reid? A little good news. Backup is here.
Matt Simmons : Hey, Spencer.
Dr. Spencer Reid : Hey. Thank you for coming.
Clara Seger : Yeah, of course. Jack and me are finishing up a case in Costa Rica, so we hopped on a commercial plane to get here.
Matt Simmons : We're trying to stop your transfer to El Diablo.
Dr. Spencer Reid : Do you think it's possible?
Clara Seger : Yes. Lab reports on the vials came back. Some of what was in there hasn't been approved by the FDA, but there aren't any illegal substances.
-
Clara Seger : Is there anything else you remember about your time here?
Dr. Spencer Reid : I remember what happened to the vials at home. My mom threw most of them out.
Clara Seger : So that's why you were here. To get more.
Dr. Spencer Reid : It must be.
Matt Simmons : Well, you're off the hook for that. There was no contraband involved.
Clara Seger : Yeah, but we were still looking at the planted drug and murder charges, which could keep you here for a long time.
Emily Prentiss : So what can we do to delay the transfer?
Clara Seger : You said that you met Nadie, who calls herself Rosa, in Houston. Why didn't she just give you the vials in the U.S.?
Dr. Spencer Reid : I don't know. I don't know. But she helped us and I trusted her. I was right to. I still believe that.
Matt Simmons : Well, she convinced you to cross the border multiple times. She had you risk your life.
Clara Seger : Because she must have had something to lose, too.
Emily Prentiss : Like family.
Clara Seger : We need to know more about her.
-
Dr. Spencer Reid : I can't thank you enough.
Luke Alvez : Hey, it's all good, man. I'm just glad you sound like yourself again.
Dr. Spencer Reid : Me, too.
Emily Prentiss : Okay, so here's the deal that Cruz made. We can stop by the BAU when we land, but then we'll drive you into the district and take you to the federal jail.
[taking his handcuffs off]
Emily Prentiss : Since you are under investigation for murder, these cuffs are going to have to stay on until you are arraigned, but you're not a flight risk up here.
Dr. Spencer Reid : Thank you. Circulation's a wonderful thing.
Emily Prentiss : And the moment there's a chance for outside witnesses, these go back on.
Clara Seger : Have you talked to anyone about the legal team?
David Rossi : Yeah. Stephen Walker made some calls to the B.A.P. to get the best we can.
Matt Simmons : The B.A.P.'s a great group. You'll be in good hands.
David Rossi : Mark my words, kid. This whole thing's been a nightmare, but we're gonna get you out of this.
-
David Rossi : What does the report say about the intent to distribute?
Penelope Garcia : Uh, it says he was charged with constructive possession, and in the duffel bag there was cocaine, cash, and three bricks of heroin.
Emily Prentiss : Okay, we'll be there in less than an hour. Dave, were you able to reach Jack Garrett?
David Rossi : He's deep in a case, but he promised to do what he can.
Emily Prentiss : Okay. We're gonna need all the help we can get.
-
Luke Alvez : Hey, Reid. It's good to see you, brother. It's me, Luke.
Dr. Spencer Reid : Luke. Thank you for coming.
Luke Alvez : Of course.
David Rossi : We're gonna get you out of here, kid.
Emily Prentiss : We need to work out some details with the locals, okay?
Luke Alvez : Who was your contact down here?
Dr. Spencer Reid : [showing them the scribble on his arm] Rosa. Rosa Medina. I think she's a doctor.
Luke Alvez : [taking a picture of Reid's arm with his phone] All right. Where did you meet her?
Dr. Spencer Reid : I don't remember.
Luke Alvez : If you saw her, would you... would you remember her?
Dr. Spencer Reid : Yeah. I think so.
Emily Prentiss : [seeing how spaced out he is] You're missing time, aren't you?
Dr. Spencer Reid : It's peeking out. It's coming in flashes.
Emily Prentiss : And you've been drugged.
Dr. Spencer Reid : Yeah, but I didn't take it myself.
Emily Prentiss : No, of course you didn't, Spencer. We're thinking it might be Scratch.
-
Luke Alvez : We can't get him out of here, can we?
David Rossi : I don't know how.
Luke Alvez : He didn't kill her.
David Rossi : If all I had to go on was the evidence, I would swear he did. But knowing Reid, hearing the cognitive...
Emily Prentiss : Yes, he said there was another person in that motel room, but...
[she plays the recording]
Emily Prentiss : Who has the knife? Who is stabbing Rosa?
Dr. Spencer Reid : I don't know. It's in my hand.
Emily Prentiss : You're trying to stop the killer.
[stopping the recording]
Emily Prentiss : Right now, this is just more evidence against him.
-
Mario Casteneda : You'll forgive me for feeling like justice isn't exactly being served with this move.
Emily Prentiss : I understand. But I can assure you this has gone to the highest ranks and there will be a full investigation. Thank you for working with us.
Mario Casteneda : For our reports, I would like to have the recording of that cognitive interview.
Emily Prentiss : I didn't record it.
Mario Casteneda : But that was our agreement.
Emily Prentiss : I determined he was still under the influence. Anything he said wouldn't have clarified matters.
Mario Casteneda : You're committed agents. And I've worked with the IRT before. I trust you know what you're doing.
Emily Prentiss : We do. I promise.
-
Matt Simmons : Well, thanks for the ride home.
David Rossi : Don't mention it. Commercial airlines kick my ass nowadays. You?
Matt Simmons : Once you've had the best, it's hard to go back.
Emily Prentiss : [approaching] I was just thanking Clara for helping us.
Clara Seger : Yeah, and I told her when one of us is in trouble, we all are. You guys have any other problems with this, we happen to know some people.
David Rossi : Love that.
-
[last lines]
Stephen Walker : Uh, I just got a text. Reid isn't eligible for the Bureau's legal assistance.
Emily Prentiss : What?
Stephen Walker : He was never briefed. And he wasn't in Mexico on government business. They won't represent him.
Emily Prentiss : Oh, god. We're on our own.
-
David Rossi : Thanks for calling us.
Officer Cabrera : A U.S. fed in our custody isn't something we see every day.
Emily Prentiss : We appreciate you letting us talk to him. Have you gotten his tox screen panels back yet?
Officer Cabrera : No.
Emily Prentiss : You will need to expedite that. We have cause to believe that Agent Reid was drugged.
Officer Cabrera : He was definitely high and driving like a maniac with $20,000 worth of heroin in his possession. Both of which put my officers at risk. You're in our jurisdiction. The rules are different here.
-
Dr. Spencer Reid : What was in those vials?
Matt Simmons : Yeah. There are some nootropic compounds like Ampalex, uh, but also some more natural stuff; coral calcium, jimsonweed, coconut oil, a variety of vitamins; B12, D3.
Dr. Spencer Reid : Where are we right now?
Matt Simmons : Matamoros, northern Mexico.
Dr. Spencer Reid : Jimsonweed, otherwise known as the Devil's snare, originated in Mexico, but its natural growing region is further north or south of the border.
Emily Prentiss : Now that sounds like you.
-
Emily Prentiss : We're working on all channels here. Matt Cruz is on with the consulate right now. We could get an immediate extradition, but it's just the beginning.
Dr. Spencer Reid : I really screwed up, and I'm so sorry.
Emily Prentiss : It was for the right reason.
Dr. Spencer Reid : I don't know what happened, but I know I didn't kill anyone.
Emily Prentiss : We do, too.
-
Emily Prentiss : We've got a disorganized crime scene with the offender aware enough to take the murder weapon with them. It doesn't add up.
Luke Alvez : Unless it was a drug induced kill. The unsub could have freaked out and taken off with the knife.
David Rossi : Reid told Casteneda he was chasing someone. It could have been the killer.
Luke Alvez : Yeah. Well, if they took the knife with them, they could have dumped it in the desert. And Reid's got a nasty cut on his hand. It could be from the same blade.
David Rossi : He didn't do this.
Luke Alvez : I know. But Scratch is doing one hell of a job making it look like he did.
-
David Rossi : How's he doing?
Emily Prentiss : Well, he's made some breakthroughs, but I'm not sure how helpful they'll be.
[seeing their anxious expressions]
Emily Prentiss : What is it?
Luke Alvez : They just charged Reid with the murder of Nadie Ramos.
-
Emily Prentiss : Garcia, we've got some questions.
Matt Simmons : Hey, Penelope.
Penelope Garcia : Oh, my god. It's the dulcet tones of Matt Simmons. Are you there to save the day?
Matt Simmons : I'm trying. Clara's here, too.
Penelope Garcia : [with a sigh of relief] Knowing we have you guys as backup is providing me with some much-needed hope and I work better this way.
-
Clara Seger : Hey, lady. We're trying to catch up on a few things.
Penelope Garcia : Shoot it at me.
Clara Seger : Where is Nadie Ramos from?
Penelope Garcia : Mm, she lives with her family just north of Matamoros.
Emily Prentiss : That must be where she got the jimsonweed.
Penelope Garcia : What's weird is she crosses the border, like, a lot.
Emily Prentiss : Why?
Penelope Garcia : Well, she works at that clinic in Houston. She also helps at a local healthcare center. I can't find a visa on her, which is double weird. And in finishing the weird trifecta, there's a Social Security number on her W-2 form.
Matt Simmons : Social Security? She's an American citizen?
Penelope Garcia : Yeah. She has dual citizenship. She was born in Houston, and her family had to move back to Mexico. She lives with them and she works in the U.S.
Emily Prentiss : Well, this changes everything, and we need to talk to the consulate.
Mario Casteneda : [entering] It's time for his transfer.
Emily Prentiss : We've had a break in the case. The victim was also American, and that calls for extradition.
Mario Casteneda : I've got orders. Sorry.
-
Luke Alvez : Prints and samples from the crime scene came back to our home lab. They've found proof that backs up your cognitive. There was a third person in that room.
Emily Prentiss : You're not out of the woods, but I swear we won't lose you.
