- Jennifer Jareau: [visiting Reid and hearing other inmates' catcalling] It's okay.
- Dr. Spencer Reid: Hmm?
- Jennifer Jareau: It's not my first time in a prison. I can handle it.
- Dr. Spencer Reid: Sorry. I don't want them looking at you.
- Jennifer Jareau: I know. I don't, either. But if that's the price I have to pay to see you, I'm okay with that.
- Dr. Spencer Reid: [closing quotation] "Hope is being able to see that there is light, despite all of the darkness." - Desmond Tutu.
- Luke Alvez: I need you to check out an address for me.
- Penelope Garcia: Sure. Shoot.
- Luke Alvez: 11637 Woodycrest Avenue. It's an apartment building in the Bronx. Any criminal activity that might relate to Danny White.
- Penelope Garcia: [typing] Hold yourself. Searching now... just your garden variety vandalism, drug possession. Okay, it's all pretty standard for a condemned building.
- Luke Alvez: Wait, it's condemned?
- Penelope Garcia: Mm-hmm. Has been for months. It's scheduled to be demolished, but, uh... something's holding it up. Permit issue.
- Luke Alvez: Thanks, Garcia. You truly, you are the best.
- Penelope Garcia: Really?
- Luke Alvez: Available.
- [he hangs up, laughing to himself]
- Penelope Garcia: [to herself in frustration] Newbie!
- Jennifer Jareau: So, listen. Um... there are some other things we should talk about. We got your full panel tox screen results. Um, they were negative for Scopolamine.
- Dr. Spencer Reid: [worried] How are we gonna prove that Scratch is behind all this?
- Jennifer Jareau: We'll find another way. Look, it was too late by the time we took that blood test. You must have metabolized everything.
- Dr. Spencer Reid: He's gonna get away with it.
- Jennifer Jareau: Spence.
- Dr. Spencer Reid: He's gonna get away with it!
- Jennifer Jareau: We're not gonna let him. We're gonna get you out of here. I promise. And we are gonna get that psychopath and we are gonna clear your name. Just, please, keep your head down, and focus on that. Okay?
- Dr. Spencer Reid: [opening quotation] "To go against conscience is neither right nor safe. Here I stand. I can do no other." - Martin Luther.
- Emily Prentiss: [reading a hand-written notebook] "Her legs were perfect, like a dancer's. Sinew and tight muscle. I'd love to hear her bones snap as they rip through her flesh."
- Stephen Walker: But this is more than just sadism. This bone breaking is some kind of psychopathic compulsion.
- Emily Prentiss: Can you imagine if it was your kid living down here?
- Penelope Garcia: What do you want, newbie?
- Luke Alvez: Still with that? Come on. You need some new material.
- Penelope Garcia: Okay, whatever you say... El Nuño. Hunky newster. New kid on the... no, that one's too much on the nose.
- Emily Prentiss: This geographic profile covers the entire city. He's used all five boroughs to either abduct or dump his victims.
- David Rossi: He grew up in this apartment and it took a concerted effort for him to come back here and use it like this. So location is important to him.
- Dr. Tara Lewis: If he sticks to his pattern, she'll be in her twenties.
- Emily Prentiss: He blends in, he appears nonthreatening, and he's attractive; all traits that immediately lower most people's defenses.
- Luke Alvez: Because of his job, he's also physically strong.
- Stephen Walker: So not only does he have the tools manipulate his victims, he has the strength of overpower them, as well.
- David Rossi: We also think he uses MDMA as part of his ruse.
- Luke Alvez: As you know, MDMA is a popular drug; lowers inhibitions, makes for easier targets.
- Emily Prentiss: Daniel Allen White will strike again, probably sooner rather than later. We need to find him before he does.
- Jennifer Jareau: Hey. What are you hammering?
- David Rossi: Oh, uh, just hanging up my newest acquisition.
- Jennifer Jareau: A "W"?
- David Rossi: Well, that's not just any old "W". That, my young friend, is a symbol of victory.
- [seeing her skeptical look]
- David Rossi: You're not a baseball fan, are you?
- Jennifer Jareau: Mostly hockey, and I do enjoy a football game.
- David Rossi: Well, at Wrigley Field, the home of the Chicago Cubs, they fly that flag after every win.
- Jennifer Jareau: Wait, you're not even from Chicago.
- David Rossi: No. But I lost a good buddy in Vietnam who was. And, uh, since they won the World Series, I thought I'd commemorate it for him since he didn't live long enough to see it himself.
- Jennifer Jareau: That's sweet.
- David Rossi: Hey, what's going on with you?
- Jennifer Jareau: I dunno. Seeing Spence locked up, it... wasn't easy. I guess I'm just a little down.
- David Rossi: Do you know how long it's been since the Cubs last won the Series?
- Jennifer Jareau: It's, like, a hundred years, right?
- David Rossi: 108, to be exact. Which means that generations lived and died without ever seeing a championship. Can you imagine what that does to your psyche?
- Jennifer Jareau: Hmm.
- David Rossi: But that city and all those fans... you know what kept them going? Hope. Until finally, one night, after over a century of despair, hope won. And that's how we're gonna keep going, until we get that kid the hell out of there.
- Jennifer Jareau: [quietly] Hope.
- David Rossi: Keep it alive. Because I'm afraid, right now, that's all we've got.
- Calvin Shaw: [after Reid speaks to a prison guard] What was that?
- Dr. Spencer Reid: I was thirsty.
- Calvin Shaw: [knowing he's lying] I helped you because I like you. You're interesting to me. But if you keep this up, keep thinking the normal rules apply in here, then I cannot help you. And that would be a shame, 'cause I think you're the only innocent man in here. Good luck, brother. You're gonna need it.
- Jennifer Jareau: So, I was thinking, this... this guy's M.O. is pretty sophisticated for a killer who's just started out. Maybe our first victim isn't his first victim. So I had Garcia compile a list of all the females with bone break injuries in New York City in the last three years.
- Penelope Garcia: We ruled out women over thirty, girls under eighteen, came up with... 112 names.
- Stephen Walker: Did any of them have drugs in their system, specifically MDMA?
- Penelope Garcia: Oh, so good, new guy, who doesn't feel new because your deep, baritone voice comforts me. The answer is yes. But not all of them were drug tested, so we only have two that we know for sure had MDMA on board.
- Emily Prentiss: Who are they?
- Jennifer Jareau: Well, there is one in particular that caught my eye.
- Penelope Garcia: Nancy Santiago. She was twenty-two, she was from Long Island, and she died after she fell off a rooftop during a rave almost a year ago.
- Luke Alvez: There any foul play?
- Penelope Garcia: Inconclusive. There was a thunderstorm that night, so the crime scene was compromised.
- Jennifer Jareau: The police report says two guys saw what they thought was a male/female couple having sex in the alley behind the rave. When those two guys spotted them, he took off, left the female behind. When they got closer, they saw the girl was actually dead.
- Penelope Garcia: The... the coroner said she had several broken bones from the fall, most notably a compound fracture, super serious, to her femur.
- David Rossi: Well, if there was sexual assault, do we really think that was our guy?
- Emily Prentiss: I want to know more. Send us everything you have on Nancy Santiago.
- Emily Prentiss: What have you got, Garcia?
- Penelope Garcia: I've got the 411 on that rave that Nancy Santiago was at the night she died. I've sent it all to your tablets. You can follow along if you wish. It is a roving EDM party called Reclamation, and according to their website, their mission is to, quote, "Bring light and rhythm to places long forgotten."
- David Rossi: Which means?
- Penelope Garcia: Uh, sir, that's the millennial way of saying "We have illegal parties in abandoned places."
- Dr. Spencer Reid: [having noticed a scar on Delgado] What happened?
- Luis Delgado: Welcoming committee.
- Dr. Spencer Reid: You okay?
- Luis Delgado: I am right now. It's later I'm worried about.
- Dr. Spencer Reid: Anything I can do to help?
- Luis Delgado: Yeah. Give me some of that "don't touch the skinny white guy" pixie dust you got sprinkled on you.
- Jennifer Jareau: [visiting Reid in prison] How are you doing?
- Dr. Spencer Reid: I'm okay. I, uh... I'm really happy to see you. I just... I kind of wish you hadn't come. It's not a good idea.
- Jennifer Jareau: Sorry. You're stuck with me. Garcia has us on shifts, and she of course took first dibs, but, uh, they needed her in the office for a case, so I was the lucky one.
- Dr. Spencer Reid: A case? JJ, you should not be here.
- Jennifer Jareau: The last time I saw you, I promised you would not be alone. I am just trying to keep up the best way I can.
- Dr. Spencer Reid: What's the case?
- Jennifer Jareau: What?
- Dr. Spencer Reid: The case. I'm assuming you stayed behind unless it's local. Is it local?
- Jennifer Jareau: No. New York. But... you really want to hear this?
- Dr. Spencer Reid: Yeah. I'd... I'd love something to think about besides, you know, this.
- Jennifer Jareau: Okay. Um... last night, they found the latest victim, which is the third in the last six weeks. He dumps them in alleys. All female, in their twenties. Equal opportunity; he crosses race lines. Oh, and the media's having a field day. They're calling him the Bone Crusher.
- Dr. Spencer Reid: You know what, Calvin, you're right. I don't know prison. But I do know how to stop a psychopath.
- Calvin Shaw: That was out there. In here, we're all psychopaths, We have to be, 'cause it's predator or prey. Which one are you?
- Emily Prentiss: Gigi Stevens, twenty-six year old waitress from Brooklyn.
- M.E. Wong: Cause of death was loss of blood from all the compound fractures. This one tore her femoral artery; that was probably what did it. But did find a few postmortem fractures, as well.
- Dr. Tara Lewis: What about a tox screen?
- M.E. Wong: We found traces of alcohol and MDMA in her system.
- Stephen Walker: It's exactly like the first two victims.
- Dr. Tara Lewis: Any sign of sexual assault?
- M.E. Wong: None.
- Emily Prentiss: Breaking bones is what gets him off.
- Emily Prentiss: Wait, you think she's only been dead for twenty-four hours?
- M.E. Wong: Yeah, maximum.
- Dr. Tara Lewis: Well, she went missing a week ago. That means he held her for several days.
- Stephen Walker: He didn't do that with his other victims. He abducted, killed, and dumped them all within a two day period.
- Emily Prentiss: Holding her means a lot more work for him.
- M.E. Wong: Oh, he was busy, all right. He broke all her fingers and toes first. But the big breaks he saved for last.
- Emily Prentiss: So, he's a sadist who's learned how to prolong his pleasure by keeping her alive.
- Dr. Tara Lewis: But the torture must mean something if he's willing to risk holding her.
- David Rossi: All of these women were educated and gainfully employed. Totally low-risk lifestyles.
- Luke Alvez: Yeah, but they were all found at bars and nightclubs, and they each had alcohol and drugs in their system, so they weren't exactly shrinking violets, either.
- David Rossi: But drugs and the alcohol are probably part of his ruse. That means he has social skills. I bet he charms them in, like Bundy.
- Luke Alvez: I just keep wondering why a sadist would use a love drug that makes you feel empathy.
- David Rossi: Well, we don't know for sure that he uses it, too. He may want to maintain focus.
- Luke Alvez: Well, if he's holding them captive now, he needs space to do that. Not impossible, but that's not exactly the easiest thing to find in New York City.
- Detective Baez: Excuse me, agents, there's a woman out here I think you should talk to. Apparently she came in this morning, said she had information for the FBI. So my guys took her name, number. She insisted on waiting. So when I finally sat down with her, she showed me this.
- [he hands Rossi a notebook; inside is written thoughts mentioning aspects of the murders]
- Detective Baez: She said her son wrote all that. She claims he's the Bone Crusher.
- Luke Alvez: So, the apartment building Danny White used to live in is abandoned.
- Emily Prentiss: You have a hunch about something?
- Luke Alvez: Danny grew up in the neighborhood and up until recently lived here with his mom. So I'm thinking he wants to be someplace familiar.
- Stephen Walker: And we did profile he'd need a space to do his thing. An abandoned building would do the trick.
- Emily Prentiss: All right, you two go ahead. Keep me posted.
- Luke Alvez: Okay, we got an ID on the victim. Name's Serena Adams, a twenty-five year old grad student at NYU.
- Emily Prentiss: Exactly his type.
- David Rossi: How long has she been missing?
- Luke Alvez: Since yesterday.
- David Rossi: He's moving fast.
- Stephen Walker: [entering] Looks like he was living here after his mom kicked him out. He's even got food and water back there.
- Emily Prentiss: This guy is somewhere in the city, and we're gonna find him.
- Jennifer Jareau: How's it going with the case? Everything okay with the girl they found?
- Penelope Garcia: Yeah, I don't know. She's still in surgery. Oh, how's boy wonder?
- Jennifer Jareau: He's good.
- Penelope Garcia: What? No, he must be terrible. What do you mean? Tell me everything. No, don't tell me everything. I don't want to know. No, of course I want to know. Tell me everything. Tell me everything.
- Jennifer Jareau: He can't stay in there. We gotta get him out.
- Penelope Garcia: [standing up and giving her a supportive hug] Yeah. We will. We will. Come here. We'll get him out.
- Emily Prentiss: His face is all over the news. Every cop in town is looking for him. How has no one seen this guy?
- Luke Alvez: We just gotta keep the pressure on, and hopefully he'll make a mistake.
- Luke Alvez: That doesn't make any sense. How do you go from being awkward with no friends to socially skilled and manipulative?
- Dr. Tara Lewis: Don't know. The guy's got no online presence or social media. Maybe it's just some kind of self-help thing and the guy got some confidence.
- Luke Alvez: I don't know. He's twenty-three and up until a few weeks ago lived with his mom.
- Emily Prentiss: What if we were wrong and charm's not part of his game?
- David Rossi: I don't think so. All those victims were smart, attractive, and out in populated areas.
- Stephen Walker: I agree. He found a way to get close, and it has to have something to do with the drugs.
- Emily Prentiss: Hopefully the media coverage will make it impossible for him to charm anyone without them recognizing him first.
- Detective Baez: Twenty-six year old Lisa Jackson was abducted last night in Brooklyn. Apparently she was walking home from a bar with a friend when a man in an SUV pulled up, attacked them both with a hammer. Friend wakes up, Lisa's gone.
- Emily Prentiss: He only took one of them.
- David Rossi: He only needs one. Plus, two is a lot of work.
- Stephen Walker: Was the friend able to give a description of the attacker?
- Detective Baez: Yeah. Matches White. She said she saw him having drinks at the bar earlier.
- Luke Alvez: He's out drinking. He's either arrogant or he's just not paying attention to the news.
- Dr. Tara Lewis: Or he can't resist the urge to hunt.
- Luke Alvez: Hey. I'm surprised you came home. You get my texts? Something I said? Are you ignoring me?
- Miranda White: It's just, uh... why is he like this? What did I do wrong?
- Luke Alvez: No. Listen, Danny and people like Danny have an affliction, okay? It's like a sickness. Okay? And they either choose to fight it or they embrace it, and it's no one's fault.
- Luke Alvez: So that's how he went from socially awkward to socially skilled. The drugs.
- Dr. Tara Lewis: That makes sense. His inhibitions would be lowered and he'd be emboldened.
- Stephen Walker: But repeated use could mean addiction and a higher tolerance, so he would need increasing larger doses.
- David Rossi: His mother was trying to help him, but she may have unlocked the psychopath in him instead.
- Emily Prentiss: MDMA is supposed to enhance sexuality. If Nancy Santiago was his first victim and he was high when he killed her, that must have made quite an impression.
- Dr. Tara Lewis: And since it's never as good as the first time, he's probably been chasing that dragon ever since.
- Stephen Walker: He probably needs to be under the influence himself to complete the experience.
- Dr. Tara Lewis: Yeah, but if that was him in the alley with Nancy Santiago's body, then why no sexual assault with his most recent victims?
- Emily Prentiss: Because MDMA can cause impotence.
- Luke Alvez: Yeah. Maybe he can't sexually get off, and that only adds to his rage.
- David Rossi: That's why he's been so violent. Torture is an outlet for that.
