Criminal Minds

Is that clear?

Yes, it's clear.

Help! Help!

Reid, voice-over: Getting more and more intense.

Got to fall deeper in to beat them.

I've lost friends before, but not like this,

not in a box where I have no control.

Or do I? Starting to think like them, starting to survive like them.

I'm here because I made a choice.

What if that means I don't get out alive?

Don't cry.

It's a good day, isn't it?

It's your birthday.

You're 16 now.

What were you gonna do to celebrate,

if you weren't here, I mean.

Come on, tell me.

Go out with my parents and my sister.

Attie?

Was she named for Atticus from "to kill a mockingbird"?

Yes.

What a hero.

I heard Harper Lee released another book.

Did you read it?

No.

Her elegant lessons on tolerance.

Just take my breath away, you know?

I'm sorry, you were saying.

You were going out with your parents and Attie.

Again, sorry to interrupt.

I... I just have to ask.

Is it awkward...

Since they just got divorced and all?

Yeah.

I always wondered that.

Where were you gonna go?

Just... to this Thai place.

What's your favorite?

If you had, had, had to choose.

Green curry.

Mine, too.

Ahem.

Sa ta Na ma.

That's your secret being so calm?

I don't know about that.

Kundalini yoga.

What about you?

9 months in Sri Lanka.

Whoa!

Ok, you win.

When were you there?

During the war.

Oh. That must have been...

Hmm.

I was in a dark place.

Hey, I... I have new running shoes.

And I haven't broken them in yet.

You want to start taking the stairs?

Walker went to see Spence yesterday.

How's he doing?

Not good.

His, uh, friend was killed two weeks ago.

Right in front of him.

Yeah, I heard.

So why haven't you been to visit him?

Because I'm no good to him.

I even drove out there and couldn't go in.

Knowing I can't get him out drives me insane.

I know. I know. You're right.

Walker doesn't think he's slept in a while, and...

He asked for you.

He did?

Visiting hours start at 10:00?

Yeah. If you leave now, you can beat morning traffic.

Call me from New York.

Let me know how he's doing, Ok?

Will do.

Tara's giving expert testimony,

Rossi's visiting Reid today,

so it's just gonna be us.

You guys remember her?

It's Katie Hammond.

15. Went missing in Manhattan about a week ago.

Close. It was 5 days ago to be exact.

Today she turned 16.

Her parents must be a wreck.

Yeah. She was supposed to meet her friends, she never showed up.

Yeah. This is the last image we have of her.

Alvez: Oh, that's right. She left her cell phone in the cab.

Jj: And went off into the night without a lifeline.

How did she disappear? There is cameras everywhere in the city.

Look, she just... She vanishes.

Well, did we check subway cams, tunnels, bridge tolls?

There's no sign of her on any bus or any train.

Without a vehicle lead, they don't have much to go on.

And now that they've cleared their initial suspect,

we're back at square one.

Not exactly. Her Victimology matches two cold cases...

Shelley Gallagher and Lisa Dewald.

Both were abducted within a 5-block radius.

They could all be sisters.

Why did the cases go cold?

It's unclear.

I hate to ask,

but if it's the same offender,

what makes you think Katie's still alive?

Because he held on to them for a week.

Before killing them.

But Katie's only been missing for 5 days.

So if there is a connection, we still have a chance.

C.O.D. Is cranial blunt force trauma,

but premortem he drained 3 liters of blood.

Whether it's for consumption or collection,

this unsub's got a ritualistic behavior.

A bizarre one at that.

We find out why he's doing it, we'll find him.

Wheels up in 20.

Do you think your family's still angry you lied to them?

I don't know.

Let's hope not, right?

Go on. Make a wish.

Reid: "How can I be substantial if I do not cast a shadow?"

I must have a dark side also if I'm to be whole."

Carl jung.

Guard: Inmates, line up.

Visiting hours.

You haven't slept.

It's been a while.

I heard about your friend, Delgado.

I'm really sorry, Spence.

Is there anyone you can talk to?

We have group therapy once a week.

The counselor wants me to keep a journal,

so I am, but I don't really think it's helping.

How come?

Because no one in here is honest.

I mean...

Not a single person can admit that they're terrified.

If we can't agree on that one basic truth,

then...

It doesn't really matter.

They could just be numb to it all.

Well, I'm not.

You never will be,

because you're a good person.

And that's the difference.

There's a helplessness in here that causes people.

To do things they would never consider...

It's a lockdown. Return to your cells, now.

I'll come back, Ok?

Ok. Bye.

Inmate: What's going on?

What the hell is going on?

Cell block B got a tip about a delivery today.

Tossed some cells, found a crapload of smack.

Guard: B block can use the cafeteria.

B block line up for chow. Line up for chow.

This is the day you're supposed to move Frazier's stuff, isn't it?

Yeah. Luckily it sounds like the guards are gonna shut it down.

Look, I know it's hard to think outside the box when you're in a box,

but think about the moves.

Cell block B’s a patsy.

Look, everyone's looking over there.

So you can push the stuff through here.

Maybe. Or maybe I just won't do it,

since you're protecting me.

Do you know why they killed Delgado instead of you?

That was me protecting you.

There's only so far I can go.

So can I.

Hal Clayton. Thanks for coming.

Of course. These are Ssas Alvez, Jareau, and Walker.

Pleasure. Katie's parents are on their way.

Do they know your theory?

No, and I want to keep it that way.

I they saw what's on these boards,

they'd never sleep again.

Similarities are obvious... Age, coloring,

vanished off the streets.

But the difference is a big one.

The first two vics were runaways, addicts.

Turned tricks. Classic street life.

Nobody out there looking for them.

Explains why the cases went cold.

We usually see an offender build up.

To taking somebody like Katie.

My guess is he's done this a few times that we don't know about.

We should pull all missing persons.

Who match that physical description.

Those are Katie's parents.

Do you mind if I speak to them?

They're divorced and it's not pretty.

So, chances are you'll need two of you.

You see blood fetishes a lot?

Compulsions like this are typically sexual in nature.

There's no signs of assault.

You mean consuming it is the sex act?

Drinking blood can be dangerous,

but we shouldn't rule it out.

Although, these two were addicts,
