Criminal Minds

Previously on Criminal Minds: Evolution ...

Copy of your work phone.

You cloning that phone put a price on my head.

Sorry.

Me too.

- FBI! -Drop the weapon.

If you provide the bureau with actionable information

that leads to the apprehension and conviction of Gold Star,

the DOJ is prepared to offer you a deal.

What is North Star?

North Star is where it all starts.

-What? -This Stuart House place

was the perfect crucible to create serial killers.

A white paper that Jason Gideon and I drafted but never submitted.

You're saying that somebody got a hold of this paper

and created Gold Star out of it?

It began with North Star.

And North Star

is us.

Man, what is this?

Where am I?

You.

Me.

Uh, we-we talked at the bar. You, uh...

Did you spike my drink?

I'm going to give you one chance to tell the truth.

If you don't...

Wh-What is that?

What is all this?

Why her?

What?

Why did you do this to her?

Her who?

What the fuck? Oh, my God.

-Why her? -

Why Emma?

Did you knock her out first?

Uh...

Yeah. Yeah, man. I knocked her out.

You sick fuck! You sick...

What are you doing? You sick fuck.

Did you take turns?

What?

No! No, no, no, no, no!

Did you take turns?

All of you?

Yeah. Yeah, yeah, sure.

Who else was there?

Who else?

I want names.

Tony.

And?

Um...

D-Darren...

and, uh... Uh, David.

There was no Darren.

And there was no David.

And I told you, you only get one chance.

No. No. No! Help me!

No! No!

Roger!

I'm on it.

Okay. Okay.

Okay, okay, okay, okay.

It's okay, it's okay, it's okay.

Hi.

Hmm.

There you go.

Yeah?

You feel like letting Mommy and Daddy sleep a little more? Hmm?

Sure, you do.

Okay.

" Through pride, we are ever deceiving ourselves.

But deep down below the surface of the average conscience

a still, small voice says to us, something is out of tune." Carl Jung.

Did you get any sleep last night?

After finding out that our research is behind Gold Star?

Yeah, slept like a baby.

I know we have a lot on our plate,

but we still have our day jobs, and Bethesda, Maryland needs our help.

Yeah, the local cops are reeling. We have three disappearances.

Alan George, Tony Woon and Craig Park.

Disappearances. No bodies?

No, but three men of the same race in the same zip code,

Bethesda, isn't taking any chances.

Any evidence of foul play?

They found Craig Park's watch with some of his residual DNA on it.

The band had a monogrammed clasp with Craig's initials.

So, it was, like, dumb luck that the police recovered it at all.

All right. If this is an unsub, he certainly has a type.

Okay, so, if our unsub is racially profiling his victims,

we need to keep two conflicting ideas in our head at the same time.

One: He's a racist, and he hates them,

and two: He identifies with them.

Well, without bodies, it's going to be hard to profile.

I mean, we need to determine abduction and murder locations

or all we're left with is victimology.

Well, that, and timeline.

The first two victims disappeared within a week of each other.

Craig was only two days later.

Okay, so his cooling off period's getting shorter.

He could be on a mission, or a spree.

I need you two to stop him before he completes either.

Just out of curiosity,

what's the next step with Gold Star

now that we know that the BAU is the North Star behind the monster?

We're working on it.

And what is this?

Uh, Tara and I categorized all the overlapping characteristics

between your paper and Gold Star.

Wow.

Man, you and Gideon were really out on a limb with this shit.

You were talking about epigenetics back in the '90s?

That's partly why we didn't publish.

You can't think of anyone who would've had access to this back then?

No. We buried it so nobody could find it, but somebody did.

Hmm.

Okay, let's start with an analysis of... Who's handwriting is this?

Uh, mine.

Your T's have a loop.

Means you're sensitive to criticism, might be paranoid.

No, I'm...

You got me.

I was just reinstated as team leader. I gotta flex a little bit.

Okay, so let's start with epigenetics,

because that's how the Gold Star program found its candidates. What do we know?

Right. So the field originated in 1942,

but it didn't take off until the genome was mapped in the 2000s.

It revolves around the question

of how our genes are affected by environmental factors.

-Diet, sleep, smoking. -Exactly.

But when it gets to the question of mental illness,

that is when the science gets...

and I mean this in the most technical of senses... bananas.

Especially in the case of Gold Star, where the experiment was,

"Can you identify emerging psychopathy in kids,

then promote it, direct it and control it?"

And that gets us to Stuart House.

That whole site was an experiment in creating psychopaths,

starting during the pubescent years.

Yeah, but we're still stuck on who started it.

I mean, whoever did, they have done a hell of a job of hiding it.

Where are we with Sebastian Gasper?

Not talking. He's not going to. He'll make bail, flee the country.

We can declare him a flight risk.

He's gotten out of prisons worse than D.C. lockup.

Okay, Tara, you and Mr. Sensitive here, keep working on the breakdown.

Emily, I could use a hand with something.

What's all this?

BAU files from 1993 through 1997.

All of them?

Well, evidence logs are mixed in.

We have to do, uh, a hand search to see who might have checked out my paper.

Hey, we didn't have Penelope Garcia back then.

All we had was Jill.

Jill.

-Jill! -Ah, Jill.

Let's talk to her. She helped you guys in the beginning.

-No. -Why not?

She had access to the paper, didn't she?

-Probably. -Well, then, what are we waiting for?

Garcia can track her down, and we can ask her...

Stop.

Now, in all the time we've worked together I've never played this card,

but I'm playing it now.

I am forbidding you from contacting Jill.

Forbidding?

This job has cost her more than you and me combined.

And that's saying a lot. So, do not bother her.

I just... I've never been forbidden before.

That's adorable.

I mean it, Emily.

Okay, I won't bother her.

Thank you.

-Now, if you would... -

...together we can aggravate our asthma by going through these boxes.

I don't have asthma.

You will in about an hour.

I didn't hear you come to bed last night.

I was in the basement.

You must be exhausted.

Yeah.

I fell asleep in the nursery trying to put the baby back to sleep.

I'm never gonna love him.

Don't say that.

It's true.
