Criminal Minds

Go all alone and say we're all... *

Ow.

Want to go again?

I, uh, I gotta get back to work.

Oh, come on, man. Not yet.

How about some pinball?

I can't.

Dude, you haven't been home in 3 days.

This deadline's kickin' my ass.

Yeah, mine, too,

but we need a break.

Hey, check it out.

Zach, you cannot

say no to that.

I am pretty tight.

That's what she said.

Go on.

Woman: Everybody get down!

Man: Get down!

He's dead! Rafi's dead!

Do you see who's shooting?

Yeah, he's running. We need help.

Where is he? I don't know!

Agh!

Oh, my god!

Oh, my god.

Zach!

Zach!

I heard you were looking for me.

Yeah. Come on in, have a seat.

Uh-oh.

Am I--am I in trouble?

Well, we do have to talk about one of your FD-302s,

your report about what happened

on the roof with scratch.

Yeah, I was a-- A little light on the details.

Here's the thing.

The brass is gonna want a blow-by-blow.

Scratch was a notorious enemy of the BAU.

I just want to dot our is and cross our ts.

You wrote that scratch fell off of a fire escape.

How did it happen?

We were on the roof

and I was trying to box him in.

He, uh, still had his weapon on him

and he fired on me.

Did you return?

No. I, uh,

I couldn't get a clear shot.

He went over the side of the building

onto the platform, and, uh, I guess

the anchoring bolts gave out under his weight

and the whole thing just swung out from under him.

And that was it?

No. He dropped his weapon

and he reached over the ledge of the roof.

And it just--it happened-- It happened so fast.

One second, he was firing at me

and the next, he's dangling from the side of the building

and...

Did you say anything to him?

No, he, uh--

He begged me for help,

more than once.

Help me, please.

I didn't try to pull him up.

Help me.

And then he just fell to the ground.

Aah!

It had to be at least 50 feet.

That was intense.

For all of us.

You did the right thing with scratch.

If you'd reached for him, he would have pulled you down.

You followed protocol.

I know.

So what you just told me, would you write that up?

You got it, boss.

OK. Thank you.

Prentiss.

Secretary duke.

Just got a call from homeland security.

Hey, what's going on?

Mayhem. There's an ongoing situation in silicon valley.

What we know for sure is there's a workplace shooting

in the office compound of a video gaming company

called ori-gamey.

Yeah, they're cutting edge.

They do a lot of virtual reality.

I have a few of their flight simulator games.

We're on the case?

Homeland security asked for our help

on the ground.

What do we got? That.

Office shooting in California.

Are they thinking terrorism?

They're thinking they don't know.

That's a high-profile tech target.

We can't rule out a coordinated attack or a lone wolf.

The situation's still unfolding,

so everything's still on the table.

Do they know how many shooters they're dealing with?

Eyewitness accounts indicate a suspect

was seen fleeing the building.

Do we have a description?

No, not yet. No ID. And no one in custody.

Well, the sooner we get out there, the better.

We'll brief more on the jet. Wheels up in 10.

Alvez: "it is unwise to be too sure

of one's own wisdom."

Mahatma Gandhi.

The scene has been secured

and there's no active shooter on site.

Is there any security camera footage?

Garcia: That was jammed. No footage.

Initial reports say that there are 3 people dead--

A security guard, Douglas bell, and two other employees,

Zach Devlin and Rafi Abdella.

If this is terrorism, somebody should be claiming responsibility.

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?

3 VICTIMS, 3 DIFFERENT RACES.

Rafi Abdella was an Indian national, Muslim.

He was working in the US. On an H1B visa.

He also had a green card and was considering

applying for citizenship.

That could have fueled xenophobic resentment

on the part of the unsub. If Abdella was targeted,

we could be looking at a hate crime.

What are we hearing from the scene?

Is the body count holding steady?

That is a bit of good news.

Here were 80 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.

Sounds like an unsub with an agenda

other than a high body count.

And the crime scene photos just came in.

I'm sending them. Brace yourselves.

Each victim was hit with between 10 and 20 rounds each.

Given all these bullets, it's amazing

that not more people were hit.

Garcia, we're going to need a complete list

of this company's employees.

Yeah, I anticipated that.

I've already been compiling. You'll have it when you land.

Tara, you head to the DHS field office.

The rest of us will go straight to the scene.

Agent Richardson from homeland security is expecting us.

We've been getting statements from anyone who was anywhere

inside the building at the time of the shootings.

Glad to have your help with that.

Of course. Forming any theories?

Well, we're all over the map,

because a lot of things don't seem to be adding up.

That's why we needed help from the BAU.

What's not adding up?

Different things.

For instance, I took a statement

from the receptionist.

She said the security guard, Douglas bell,

came into the area. She saw his weapon drawn.

Makes sense. He was responding to shots fired.

The guy did two tours in Afghanistan

and he was shot multiple times,

mid range, in the head and torso.

How many shots did bell fire?

None. His firearm was in his hand

when we found the body, but it hadn't been fired.

He might have recognized the gunman.

That could have made him hesitate.

He was trained to return fire.

You're right. It doesn't add up.

It was crazy, total chaos.

At first, I didn't realize what was going on.

Then, after the shooting stopped,

I ran toward the front of the room

to see if I could help.

Did you see the shooter?

Yeah, I saw him,

but not his face,

but he was wearing a black shirt.

He ran out the emergency exit over there.

He pulled a fire alarm as he ran out.

I didn't know where the shooting was coming from,

so when there was a pause, I just made a run

for the emergency exit. That one.

There's a fire alarm on that wall.

Are you the one that pulled it?

Yeah, that was me. I hoped it might

startle the shooter, make him stop.

I was standing right here.

I saw him get shot.

I'm sorry. I know-- I know it was traumatic.

Did you see the shooter?

I didn't get a good look at him,

but I heard him.

He yelled, "everybody get down."

And then he ran back that way
