Aisha Tyler: Dr. Tara Lewis

Quotes 

• Emily Prentiss : Just got a call from Homeland Security.

  Jennifer Jareau : Hey, what's going on?

  Penelope Garcia : Mayhem. There's an ongoing situation in Silicon Valley.

  Emily Prentiss : What we know for sure is there's a workplace shooting in the office compound of a video gaming company called Ori-Gamey.

  Luke Alvez : Yeah, they're... they're cutting-edge. They do a lot of virtual reality. I have a few of their flight simulator games.

  Jennifer Jareau : We're on the case?

  Emily Prentiss : Homeland Security asked for our help on the ground.

  Dr. Tara Lewis : What have we got?

  Penelope Garcia : That.

  Dr. Spencer Reid : Office shooting in California.

  Matt Simmons : Are they thinking terrorism?

  Penelope Garcia : They're thinking they don't know.

  Dr. Tara Lewis : Well, that's a high-profile tech target. We can't rule out a coordinated attack or a lone wolf.

  Emily Prentiss : The situation's still unfolding, so everything's still on the table.

  David Rossi : Do they know how many shooters they're dealing with?

  Emily Prentiss : Eyewitness accounts indicate a suspect was seen fleeing the building.

  Jennifer Jareau : Do we have a description?

  Emily Prentiss : No, not yet. No ID and no one in custody.

  David Rossi : Well, the sooner we get out there, the better.

  Emily Prentiss : We'll brief more on the jet. Wheels up in ten.

• Emily Prentiss : The scene has been secured and there's no active shooter on site.

  Luke Alvez : Is there any security camera footage?

  Penelope Garcia : That was jammed. No footage. Initial reports say that there are three people dead. A security guard, Douglas Bell, and two other employees, Zach Devlin and Rafi Abdella.

  Dr. Tara Lewis : If this is terrorism, someone should be claiming responsibility.

  Penelope Garcia : So far there's radio silence on that, but it could take a while, especially if it's the work of a lone wolf, right?

  David Rossi : Three victims, three different races.

  Matt Simmons : Rafi Abdella was an Indian national, Muslim. He was working in the U.S. on an H1B visa.

  Dr. Tara Lewis : He also had a green card and was considering applying for citizenship.

  Dr. Spencer Reid : Well, that could have fueled xenohobic resentment on the part of the unsub. If Abdella was targeted, we could be looking at a hate crime.

  Jennifer Jareau : What are we hearing from the scene? Is the body count holding steady?

  Penelope Garcia : That is a bit of good news. There were eighty people in the building. There's no other reports of casualties. There were a few minor injuries when they were getting evacuated, but that's it.

  Luke Alvez : Sounds like an unsub with an agenda other than a high body count.

• Emily Prentiss : We believe we're dealing with a lone unsub who's using a drone to kill multiple targets in each location.

  Jennifer Jareau : We're looking for a white male, probably mid to late twenties an extremely tech-astute.

  David Rossi : This unsub does not appear to be motivated by religious extremism or racial hatred. It's likely he's motivated by a personal vendetta.

  Dr. Tara Lewis : And the drone being used is not your run-of-the-mill hobbyist drone. It's custom-built to be a fully automatic remote weapon.

  Luke Alvez : We've obtained security camera footage of the device, and it shares features with certain military drones, although this one is much smaller.

  Emily Prentiss : As a result, we believe this unsub may be ex-military or military trained.

  Dr. Tara Lewis : Most importantly, this unsub seems to have a kill list.

  Dr. Spencer Reid : Rather than indiscriminately shooting as many people as possible at the first location, he specifically targeted his victims.

  Matt Simmons : At this point, he's murdered seven individuals, all of them employed in the tech industry.

  Jennifer Jareau : Aside from the shared industry of employment, we have not yet identified the specific connection between these seven victims.

  David Rossi : The connection between them will be the key to identifying the unsub.

  Dr. Spencer Reid : And until we make that connection, the unsub will continue to work his way down that list, perhaps targeting more tech companies.

• Jennifer Jareau : Emily got shut down by Peakstone.

  Dr. Tara Lewis : She didn't get the unsub's name?

  Jennifer Jareau : Nope. They wouldn't give it to her.

  Dr. Tara Lewis : Is that even legal?

  Jennifer Jareau : Unfortunately, it is. But she did get some information about how they work with contractors. She said that each departing drone pilot received a letter detailing the number of casualties from each of their missions.

  Dr. Tara Lewis : Wow. Talk about a trigger.

  Luke Alvez : Yeah. Especially for someone engaged in remote combat.

  Dr. Tara Lewis : What seems like a video game one day could feel very different when presented as a body count.

  Luke Alvez : And these contractors aren't even veterans. They don't have the post-discharge resources or even the support community that returning vets have.
