Criminal Minds

Hey, Paul, you hear that? Yeah.

Hey, you gotta challenge yourself, Johnny.

That's the only way you're ever going to get better.

Ok, so, you aim straight for the heart

Try to avoid the shoulder blades, and

Uh, should be a quick, clean kill.

Ok, so, don't over think it.

You know what to do, just - Just aim and shoot.

Well, don't worry.

Took me a long time to get my first big one.

You just need more practice.

Hey, hey, easy.

I think we've been here 5 minutes.

Yeah, but look at her, broke away from the group

Guy saw her alone, felt confident, and made his move.

It must be serious.

Ladies, this is Brad, a real FBI Agent.

Really? Really.

No way.

That's exciting. What's it like at Quantico?

It's, uh, quite impressive.

What department are you in? That's classified.

Ooh, must be really tough keeping all those secrets.

You know, it's a skill like anything else.

Carpenters are good at building stuff, measuring.

FBI is good at keeping secrets and kicking criminal ass.

Well, somebody has got to do it.

Oh, do you have to carry your gun and badge with you everywhere you go?

Affirmative.

Can we see it?

See what? Your badge.

Please. I'm sorry, that's...

Classified.

Figures.Of course.

Tell me, Brad, does it look anything like this?

Or, uh, this?

Or maybe this?

Poor lass, it's a tough job.

Agent Jareau.

Lady, you are officially in my top 8, and I am so blogging about this later.

Clink me.

Sorry, ladies.

A year ago victims and their vehicles disappeared from washington state.

They were found over 200 miles away in the remote woods of idaho.

Courtney Jacobs, 24, and Shane Everett, 25.

Autopsy revealed similar entry and exit wounds through the chest.

Ballistics?

No bullets were found.

Looks like they were out there for a long time before they were killed.

At least 6 or 7 days. Then, what happened in that week?

I don't want to know.

Look at the way they're dressed, they didn't voluntarily go into the woods like that.

Yeah, neither did this man.

Found yesterday with similar wounds, there's still no I.D.

Ok, so, I'm gonna look for missing persons in washington.

Look everywhere, we don't know where this victim came from

We only know where he ended up.

Kills both males and females.

Victims were found with their clothes on, no degradation

No experimentation, doesn't look like he's interested in either.

A serial killer with no sexual preference?

That'd be a first.

Broken nose and bark is embedded in his face, looks like he ran into a tree.

Now, how do you miss a huge tree?

Too busy looking behind you.

None of these are defensive wounds.

Courtney Jacobs' hands are torn up.

Shane Everett has only got one shoe on, it's like he ran out of the other one.

He sustained numerous injuries and just kept going.

Only one thing you run that hard for-Your life.

Criminal Minds Season 2 Episode 21

One man's wilderness is another man's theme park.

Author unknown.

Transporting young, fit victims from washington to idaho poses huge risks.

Must have a good reason to chance getting pulled over, or have the victims escape.

It says here that every year 100 or so people go missing in Idaho's wilderness.

With millions of acres to cover, 1/3 of them are never found.

Sounds like the reason as to why this place.

Well, it offers privacy and the possibility the body will never be recovered.

An area this remote and rugged suggests that the offender is more comfortable in the woods.

Something like a second home.

My grandfather retired to the french alps.

He lived there until he died.

There was a good 10-Year stretch where he didn't come down off the mountain.

He had no running water, no electricity

And his food supplies, everything, all of it came from the land.

You spent a lot of time up there?

Yeah, whenever we were in france, which was a lot.

Guess who's getting a gold star?

Oh, that'd be you, baby girl, if you got some good news for us.

Well, I started my missing persons search in spokane county

And wouldn't you know, there's been 10 in the last 5 years, all in their early twenties.

And isn't this interesting?

It's always in the spring and their cars are never recovered.

And fret not, I'm looking for the cars, too.

Anything else? Mmm, oh, local P.D.

I dentified the latest victim through dental records.

His name's Alex Harrison, he's from Washington.

Where was he last seen?

Family statements say he was traveling to work in spokane

And both victims last year were traveling outside of Spokane, too.

All victims headed to the city.

And none of them reached their destination.

Garcia? Already on it.

There are 4 major roadways into Spokane, highways 395, 195, and highway 2.

There's also interstate 90.

Were there any police reports or roadside assistance calls from those highways?

You're going to know that as soon as I do.

Ok, we've got 2 locations.

I'm happy to go to idaho.

Woods is like your second home, right, Prentiss?

Yes, sir.

Hey, Reid, why don't you go to spokane?

I could use the fresh air.

We'll touch base every couple of hours.

I'll call you when we get on the mountain.

We've got 2 male and 1 female victim, all about the same age,

But from different socio-Economic backgrounds.

The only thing they seem to have in common is they were traveling to the same city.

And broken bones.

There's a hairline fracture in the wrist, a sprained ankle, and a broken nose.

Also, early autopsy reports show soft, clean tissue damage

And deep puncture wounds through the major organs.

Bullets flare out when they hit the body, it's gotta be something else.

Whatever weapon was used cut completely through the front of the chest

And went right out of the back.

It's interesting, given the point of entry, that each victim has 2 wounds.

And it's always 2.

Uh, raymond schaeffer.

You must be agent jareau. Nice to meet you.

This is special agent aaron Hotchner. Dr.Spencer Reid.

This is sheriff raymond schaeffer.

Well, I see you're getting settled.

Thank you for the space. Well, thank you for flying out.

Um, has Alex family been notified yet?

Not yet.

Uh, parents were divorced, he lived with his father.

I was waiting for your unit to arrive.

I could use the company. I'm happy to come along.

Hotch, I'll let you know what I find. Thanks.

Is this your first notification, sheriff?

Uh, is it that obvious?

Uh, I can give you a few tips.

I just got this promotion

And the sheriff I replaced retired after 30 years.

So, I got big shoes to fill.

I'm just happy deaths in our county are down.

Well, believe me, it never gets easy.

This father's worst nightmare is about to come true.

Boise National Forest BOISE, IDAHO

How was the drive up the mountain?

Well, before or after the flat tire?

That good, huh?

I'm the head ranger, lizzie evans.

Hi, agent prentiss, this is agent morgan.

Agent gideon's still in town.

You must be exhausted from the trip, but we need to keep moving.

We want to be out of here by nightfall.

Then, by all means, after you.

Yes? Sir, are you timothy harrison?

Is this about Alex?

Politely ask them to sit, and, uh, be prepared for a physical reaction.

I once had a woman faint and hit her head

And I had to give her the news a second time at the hospital.

That wasn't fun.

Mr.Harrison, can we sit down?

If you don't mind, I'd like to stand.

Sir, I wish I didn't have to tell you this

But we've found your son Alex in the boise national forest.

So, he's ok?

I'm so sorry, Mr.Harrison, but Alex wasn't alive when we found him.

Denial is the first emotion

So be prepared to explain to them how you know that this is their child.

This is a mistake.

Alex doesn't know anyone in idaho.

How do you even know it's him?

Well, sir, when you file a missing persons report

You gave us access to his dental records.

You're lying.

Be gentle, allow yourself to show emotion.

It'll validate what the family is feeling.

First rule on the police force, Agent Jareau, no crying.

God, tell me this isn't true.

I'll do anything, please help me.

We can't imagine what you're going through, Mr.Harrison.

He's all I've got, my boy.

Don't you understand?

I do.

Sir, we're investigating Alex's death as a possible homicide.

Murder?

We were hoping that maybe you could answer some questions.

Alex was the best wide out the huskies had seen in years.

He was physical, strong.

He had great instincts.

After graduation he wanted a career.

Didn't want to be known as a jock. This can't be happening.

I need to call Alex's mother. Of course.

We'll stay here until your family arrives.

How long have you been a ranger?

5 years now, but I've lived in these woods my whole life.
