Previously on Criminal Minds: Evolution...
Director Madison is honoring Voit's plea agreement.
He is going to be transferred to a minimum security federal prison.
Toodles.
AIDA Limited CEO, Mr. Frank Church,
hired a strike team to erase Gold Star but it didn't work.
So he'd just accept failure?
No, he would not.
For Church to make sure his conspiracy had taken hold,
he'd conduct a confirmation test.
Jade killing Damien was confirmation of her commitment.
But there's two Gold Stars left.
What do you know about them?
Well, besides one is Dana H and the other Peter B, nothing.
Church must have a new training ground with children like Mila Sandoval.
Her personal history reads not unlike that of Jade Waters's.
Do you have nightmares?
And someone comes into the room.
When he's done with me, I can see his face.
It's Mr. Church.
We're here to execute a legal search warrant.
Everybody move in now.
Mila. I just need you to get everyone down to the access road.
You have to save the children.
No, sir. Nothing yet.
Come on. Come on.
It's been, uh, 20 minutes since we lost connection.
Yes, I'll keep you posted.
I need to reboot the system.
- What about GPS? - It says they're still on-site.
"Are you okay? Call me"?
Is that someone from the team?
No, my mom.
What?
...initial reports state that a large explosive went off
on the east side of the Aida building.
The west side appears undamaged, but reports are still coming in.
We've reached out to the FBI, and they have not commented at this time.
Bob, can you zoom out so we can get a better look?
Whoa! Holy.
What the was that?
Oh, God.
Dave.
Hey.
Do you ever think if I hadn't opened my mouth about Gold Star,
none of this ever would have happened?
You don't bother me anymore.
Oh. Really?
No.
You're a totem.
What do you represent this time?
Oh, man.
I'm just here to keep you company while you die.
Dave!
- Dave, are you in here? Dave!
Here!
Yup, okay. Right here.
Oh. Okay, listen to me. We're getting you out of there, okay? Right now.
Then there's an ambulance outside.
The team is okay, all right? Just hang in there.
Come on. Let's go. Let's go right now.
Hey. You okay to get up?
Yeah, yeah.
Hey. You're all right.
What about Emily?
We split up looking for the kids.
We've got the kids.
Mila Sandoval surrendered to us when the bomb went off.
And we found Dana's body.
She was shot execution-style.
Tara, where is Emily?
We searched.
Emily, Jade and Frank Church are all MIA.
Let's get you outside.
Don't say a word.
She's watching.
Who is?
Jade.
She spared us for some reason.
- She didn't spare us.
- Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Frank Church, you have been charged with the crime of pedophilia.
How do you plead?
Jade.
- You know me. How do you plead?
No!
It was her. Her team.
They wrote a white paper that got all this started.
All I ever wanted was to save the child--
Guilty.
Tara.
Good news, most of us are okay.
Bad news, we can't find Emily.
Okay. Uh, okay. How can we help?
We cleared the building. I've got Tyler tapping into the main servers.
Penelope, I think I'm doing this right.
I sent you an invitation for admin privileges.
- Did you get it? - Yes. Yes, I just got it.
- What am I looking for? - Surveillance footage.
See if you can find Prentiss.
Okay, I'm connecting now.
Come on, Em. Let me find you.
Okay. Not yet, not yet, not yet.
There she is. She's looking for the kids.
Oh, my God.
Oh, no. She's injured.
Oh, shit.
Who's that?
No idea.
But this is where everyone we love and hate disappears
from all available cameras.
Does Jade have a new partner?
It looks like she does.
And if so, there's only one person she would trust.
The last Gold Star.
Time to go judge Prentiss.
Yeah.
Yeah, just give me a second.
Okay, but make it quick.
Come on! Get moving! Move!
Come on, toss her ass in there!
You motherfucker!
No!
That's what you get for grabbing my tits, you asshole!
Fuck.
You're Jade, right?
Yeah. Do I know you?
Jade, we don't have a lot of time.
You need to take my hand.
Fuck off. That kind of shit's why I'm in here.
Please trust me. Look, it'll hurt less.
No matter what they do to you, I've got you and I won't let go.
- Hey. - I'm not letting go.
- What the fuck are you doing? - Take my hand.
- Get the fuck off me! - Take my hand.
- Jade, come here. - Motherfucker!
Hey, come on!
Who are you?
I'm Damien.
Emily Prentiss, how do you plead?
Well, uh, before I plead,
I need to know what the charges are.
Conspiracy to commit murder.
Whose murder?
Damien's? I didn't kill Damien--
I know what you're doing.
What am I doing?
Trying to get in my head.
Supervisory Special Agent Prentiss.
Abducted and interrogated by Benjamin Cyrus in 2008,
abducted and interrogated by Ian Doyle in 2011,
abducted and interrogated by Peter Lewis in 2017.
Did I get that right?
Yeah, that's right.
Hmm.
Did Voit give you all that in his little bunker?
That and what happens next.
That you'll manipulate me long enough for your team to come and rescue you.
But that won't happen.
Am I a United States citizen?
Because if we're still on US soil,
I am allowed certain inalienable rights.
Or are you no better than the deep state you claim to hate?
What rights do you have in mind?
The right to confront my accuser,
to see the evidence against me
and to present a defense.
Stand down. Put her on trial.
We can show her the evidence against her.
All right.
We'll show you your case.
We-- Who's "we"?
Who's "we," Jade?
What do we know about this last Gold Star, Pete B?
Damn near nothing. I mean, he's been off of our radar the whole time.
Let's start with the obvious.
He's gotta have another location for him and Jade, likely a safe house.
Regarding places, I checked all of the Aida properties
that Jill Gideon gave us, and they're all empty.
But a company like that could have places that never were public.
I get why they'd want Church but why Prentiss?
- Why now? - It wasn't now.
- It's been all along. - It has?
There's been a conspiracy following Emily this whole time.
Do the math.
Right. Right.
Brian Garrity resurfaces and then frames Prentiss for a crime she didn't commit.
Then someone leaked her mug shot.
Yeah. Then Jade and Pete B go out of their way to take her.
Means that she's as important as Church.
But we know Jade's history.
She was on a spree in Nevada when Emily was in lockup.
Then it's Pete. He staged Prentiss's arrest
as the beginning of a harassment campaign.
Must hold her responsible for something.
Like I told you, Dave.
You ever think if I just kept my mouth shut
about this whole Gold Star thing, none of this ever would have happened?
Goddamn it.
Sir?
Opening west gate.
Hey.
No housewarming gift?
That's rude but fine, I guess.
I got stuff. I got stuff.
I got filtered water.
Got a fan.
Natural light. Check this out. It's true what they say about Vitamin D.
My mood, it's just so-- You know.
You're uncomfortable.
Why would you make me uncomfortable?
No, it's not me.
It's this space.
You miss your old cell.
No, the only thing I miss is you.
And if you are here, it means you need something from me again.
Emily Prentiss has been abducted.
Jade took her.
She's with the last Gold Star.
I think I know who it is, but I need you to confirm it
since you've known who he is all along.
I will neither confirm nor deny anything you are saying.
Unless, of course, you have something of significance to offer me.
No, I don't think I need to do that.
Your body language would tell me if I'm right or not.
Mmm.
But Prentiss has been stalked ever since we took this case,
and we could never figure out why.
And then I was thinking it had to be something from the beginning,
from when you first said those words "Gold Star"
to Deputy Director Douglas Bailey.
I know you're not the man in charge,
but you're definitely the one who likes the Gold Star.
Then we couldn't understand why Bailey did what he did next,
which was go in alone to confront you.
And why did you kill him?
Well, now I know.
Hey, Pete.
It's me.
I, uh--
I just want you to know that I'm thinking about you.
Pete B is Pete Bailey.
Douglas Bailey's younger brother.
Hey, man.
I know you can't respond, but can you just email me back
and let me know you're okay?
You jerk.
And he holds Prentiss responsible
for what you did to Doug.
Hey, me again.
Look, I know this is hard.
I know Mom and Dad don't get this, but I do.
Email me.
Turn it off.
Does this body language tell you anything?
You can come out now.
Pete.
It is so nice to finally meet you, Emily.
You okay?
Mm-hmm, mm-hmm.
You know, the first time I was out in the field, I threw up.
Really?
No, I was just trying to make you feel better.
So if dad is a libertarian, that means mom is...
A lady who lunches.
You're an only child, right?
You scream only child.
- No, a younger brother. - Mmm.
Yeah, I have a sister.
It always seems like you're either super tight or you drive each other crazy.
Yeah.
Well, in our case, it was both.
So what's he up to now?
Unsub's name is Scelsa?
Yeah, Frank Scelsa.
Let's go to work.
Why weren't you at Doug's funeral?
Your father gave a nice eulogy.
Do you want me to tell you what happened?
I know what happened.
Then you know Elias Voit killed Doug.
That's not what happened.
If I'm on trial for his murder, why don't you just tell me what happened?
My brother knew that I was in Gold Star.
That made him a liability to the very cabal you work for,
so your team killed him.
Elias's Voit is a false flag.
No, he's a killer.
Who has only helped us.
Because it serves his interest.
Right.
I forgot.
He's Sicarius.
Never mind that the Department of Justice named an already-dead suspect as Sicarius.
If you're gonna lie to me, Emily, at least put a little zhuzh in it.
It's not a lie.
There were...
Voit had lucky breaks go his way.
Such as?
Such as the deal he made with the Director that gets him out of prison in five years.
Say that again.
The last part.
Elias Voit made...
A deal.
With?
The Director.
Of?
The FBI.
- I didn't mean it like that. - I think you do.
I think you accidentally told me the truth.
Now let me make sure that I understand this.
Elias Voit,
the patsy you pinned my brother's murder on--
apparently his deal goes all the way to the top.
Pete.
I didn't mean it like that.
It's nice to know where your loyalties finally lie, Ms. Wilson.
Maybe I'm tired of people dying because they're not on a need-to-know basis.
It appears all the chickens and tigers and bears have come to roost
for the Bailey brothers.
Were you able to find anything?
I talked to his dad-- who is not a fan of the FBI--
but he doesn't want to bury both his sons.
If I may, we all remember our departed Deputy Director Douglas Bailey.
You know, he was a very by-the-books person. Super squaresville.
His brother Pete, on the other hand, is a person of a different shape.
In his teens, Pete was involved in an anti-government group.
He vandalized an IRS office among other things.
When did Aida enter the picture?
In juvie.
Pete was offered an experimental diversionary program called--
you guessed it-- Project Gold Star.
Pete was the test subject.
We know the rest of this story. He never saw his family again?
Actually, you don't because Pete would go and visit his family during the holidays.
- I know, it shocked me too. - What?
Well, I mean, if he was there first,
they might have wanted to test his reentry into society, right?
See how someone they brainwashed copes in the modern world.
He did not cope well. According to his father, that's when things got awkward.
Pete would come home
and tell his family his job was to break up child trafficking rings.
Specifically among the elite who were doing "bad things" to children.
When his brother Douglas pressed him,
"Who are these elites? Where these children were?"
Pete got cagey, and then it would just devolve with the brothers
into, like, a knockdown fisticuff situation.
Did Doug tell anyone else about this in the Bureau?
Well, having a conspiracy theorist brother
is a political liability when you're the Deputy Director.
- So there is one agent he confided in. - Who?
Yes, I knew what Douglas was up to.
Why didn't you tell us?
Gold Star was SCI Classified. I couldn't if I wanted to.
Let me make something clear.
If we lose Prentiss because of this,
no classification in the world is gonna save you.
I've had my career threatened by better politicians than you, Dave.
I'm not threatening your career, Ray.
Hey, can we turn down the testosterone for just a second?
None of this makes any sense.
Why classify a case and then hand it to the BAU to solve?
Because Douglas Bailey asked me to.
When Gold Star bullets were left as calling cards, Doug got worried.
Right before he flew out to Burney to confront Elias Voit,
he asked me for a favor.
Sir, if the Gold Stars are killing contractors
and Elias Voit somehow knows, something has gone wrong.
- We need to classify this case. - Bailey.
It's not just two dead contractors.
I've got six dead scientists connected to a BAU white paper.
This thing's a powder keg.
I just need enough time to find my brother.
What happens if you find him, but you still can't save him?
I'll tell myself that at least he's still alive.
If this case blows up, they will get to Pete before I can and kill him.
Please.
But then it did blow up when Voit killed Bailey.
And that's when I knew I had a crisis.
If the wrong people discovered
that a blueprint for a serial killer program
started at BAU, that shuts you down permanently.
But you also knew we wouldn't back off.
Not once Voit was involved.
It was a "camel in the tent or out of the tent" situation.
And I was trying to honor Doug's final request.
I was tap dancing as fast as I could.
Well, Aida's off the board now.
So, how do we find Pete Bailey?
No idea.
All I can give you is this.
If you have a Hail Mary, throw it and I'll block for you.
Yeah.
Hey, uh, someone needs to talk to you.
Him or me?
Neither. Her.
What does Voit want now? A Pilates instructor?
Elias Voit has suffered in solitary confinement for months.
That's a form of cruel and unusual punishment.
He deserves cruel and unusual punishment.
He thinks he deserves to be released into general population.
- Why? - He's a social creature.
Nothing's free. What are you bringing to the table?
Elias may or may not have information relevant
to Agent Prentiss's current location.
Fuck you.
I'm not done.
I will also need immunity in writing
for any extracurricular attorney-client privileges
I might have engaged in as part of representing him.
How convenient.
A serial killer plays a game of chicken with two conspiracy theorists,
and you get everything you want.
You're wrong.
About the game.
It's not chicken.
No? Then what is it?
You ever hear some idiot say he's playing four-dimensional chess?
Drives me crazy.
Anyone who says that understands neither chess nor physics.
Because what is the fourth dimension, Rebecca?
Time.
Exactly.
So, I suggest you give the BAU this offer
with a reminder of the game we're actually playing.
It's their chess board, it's their pieces,
but it's my clock.
That's the deal on the table. What do you wanna do?
Can I just say I'm sick of relying on Voit for information?
Yes, you can say that. He's just gonna screw us around again.
I agree, but this is Emily.
Yeah. We can't afford to say no.
No, we can't.
And I made the call so none of you have to.
In light of the exigent circumstances, I facilitated the transfer.
He would have been here an hour ago, but he wanted to wear comfy clothes.
Wait, this asshole's coming here again?
Let's do this.
Back at it like a crack addict.
Come on. Let's go get our girl.
Oh, oh, oh. Hey, can I get a signed photo of you guys to take back to prison?
My new buddies don't believe me when I say I know the FBI.
Who is excited? I'm excited.
Well, I can't say this hasn't been fascinating.
Right?
This is how child abductions happen.
They're overwhelmingly committed by someone the child knows.
Thank you for your time, Agent.
You didn't buy any of that, did you?
No.
Pete.
He's with the Child Abduction Rapid Deployment Team.
- Why would he lie? - Maybe he doesn't know
- because that's how deep this-- - If you say, "that's how deep this goes,"
- I will-- - You'll what? You'll what?
- I will open up a can... - What are you gonna do?
...of patented Bailey whoop-ass on you.
As I've proven many times, you can't Bailey another Bailey.
- Yes, you can. Yes, you can. - No, you can't.
- Watch. Here's how it happens. - Brother, no, you can't.
- See? It goes like this. See? - Hey.
- Say it. Say it's fake. - Doug.
- Say it's all made up. Right? - I'm gonna ruin your suit, Doug.
- We're all a bunch of liars. - Agent Bailey.
- We're all a bunch of liars-- - Agent Bailey!
Sir. This is my, uh, brother Pete.
I need the revised budget.
Yes, sir. Right away, sir.
You're in trouble.
That's my boss, you dick.
Look, I appreciate what you're doing,
but I promise you, I'm on the right side here.
Yeah. And the last threat assessment I read said,
"Child abduction conspiracy theories are a growing domestic terror threat."
- "Domestic terror"? Dude. Come on. - Pete. Pete.
I'm just saying, what if you're wrong?
If I'm wrong, then I'll admit I'm wrong.
Dougie, what if you're wrong?
God forbid, you end up on that wall.
The FBI fabricated a manhunt in Burney, California.
Why?
As a false flag to cover up the assassination of one of their own,
Deputy Director Douglas Bailey.
I have it on good authority
that Bailey was planning on revealing our government's deepest, darkest secrets.
What are they?
I love this guy.
This guy gets it.
Every time I asked him to do something, he was up for it.
Even getting beaten up.
You can't buy loyalty like that.
Brian Garrity. That was you using him against me?
Not always against you.
The secret message, "Teresa is in trouble," that was me too.
You wanna know why?
Because unlike the FBI,
I don't believe in innocent people getting hurt.
Want to know why you believe what you believe?
I can tell you.
Yes, yes. Doug told me about this part.
This is where everybody stops what they're doing
and listens to your profile.
Please, go ahead. I'm just dying to hear what you think of me.
Conspiracy theories amplify anxiety, fear, helplessness,
but they also help you make sense of your distress.
It starts by making you doubt what you normally wouldn't
and ignore sources you usually trust.
Sources like the media?
Like the FBI?
You're proving my point.
Anybody can be a source these days,
especially if they validate what you already think.
Take my hand.
- Who are you? - I'm Damien.
Say his name.
Damien Booth.
Goddamn it.
I bit through my tongue.
He's dead because of you,
because of what the FBI would do to him if they got him.
That's the truth.
Your boyfriend's dead because you shot him, babe.
And you killed him for no reason.
Okay.
So I found out about Gold Star from talking to Damien on the network.
And Damien told me
that Pete was getting video messages from his brother Doug.
All Doug had was a burner email address,
but Pete never responded.
Well, there's a reason for that.
Some of the videos were legit,
but sometimes the light would shift a little bit,
or the edges of the image would be a little bit fuzzy.
Which means those videos were going from real to fake.
Like deepfake.
Why deepfake videos from his brother?
Doug was looking for Pete.
Someone was screening those videos.
Maybe Frank Church, maybe someone else at Aida.
So if Doug tried to put a message in that they didn't approve of,
they'd edit it out.
That was Pete's suspicion too, so I wrote up a special app for him.
Think of it as a silver bullet.
It could help you identify even the most sophisticated deepfakes.
How does that help us find Pete?
It helps us find Pete
because the silver bullet attaches a GPS mark
to any deepfaked footage that it finds.
Phones home, alerts the offended party
so that they can find it and stop it from spreading.
But, Jenny, I told you about this.
Remember when we-- our special time in the cell
and we were having our chats.
Okay. Look.
I can run the silver bullet.
I can see where Pete watched the videos.
We find Pete. We find Prentiss. We can smell you later.
Oh, slight problem with that one, my friend.
Uh, my super special computer
got exploded when Ben Reeves decided to blow everything up.
Jesus. Still playing this game?
Okay. Okay. Calm down, big guy.
I've got a plan B. All right?
I just need to look at the original videos with the fakes.
Matching apples to apples.
If Aida is the culprit responsible for editing these videos,
well, then you're gonna need me as boots on the ground looking for them.
You wanna be let out again.
What can I say, Dave?
Freedom's got a certain smell, like freedom.
Fine.
Alvez, Jareau, Garcia, you'll accompany him.
No. No, they won't.
Last time I was in the field with these people, that one punched me in the face.
I-I don't feel safe around them.
Then what do you want?
Security detail.
I have someone specific in mind.
Me?
You.
And if I say no?
Voit doesn't go, and Emily dies.
Just as a thought experiment,
what if I hurt Voit in the field?
Uh, he could say that his civil rights were violated,
and he could go free.
So it's in his interest to get under my skin.
You know, kid, in this job,
you need to deal with some unpleasant people
in the name of defending a law you don't always agree with.
But right now, we need the kind of agent that can follow not just the spirit
but the letter of the law.
Seriously? You're telling me that?
Yeah, I know.
And that's why I'm not going.
You are.
Hey, Ty-Ty.
Lucas is mad-dogging me. It's making me nervous.
Can you stay close?
Please?
Keep moving.
- Get off me! - Whoa.
Major sense memory right there.
Those words, "Get off of me."
I've heard that exact same intonation before.
Like sister like brother.
Hey. Hey, all right. Hey, hey, hey.
- Hey, Tyler. Step back. Step back. - Stop. Stop it.
Uh-oh.
Let's do what we came here to do.
Let's go.
Okay, I'm in. What am I looking for?
Well, I need to download and install silver bullet onto your computer.
Ergo, you are gonna have to put in your password.
Turn around.
Okay. Fine.
Okay.
What's "Chocolate, underscore, thunder, dash, tilda, umlaut"?
- Can you focus, please? - I am focused.
I'm looking for a cookie
that looks like it self-destructs but actually transmits a location.
And that's a bingo.
Altered and/or faked Doug Bailey videos pinged in the last two hours
at those coordinates.
Uh, okay. It's a facility. There's no public record.
Is that one of Frank Church's properties?
Maybe. It wasn't on Jill's list, or any of ours.
- But it is only 20 miles away. - Yeah.
All right. Penelope, let's have Dave and Tara meet us on-site.
Yes. Yes, you got it.
Whoa, whoa, whoa. Stop. This is as far as you go.
What?
Me and Ty-Guy don't get to find out if Emily's alive?
No. Ty-Guy does. You don't.
Hey, did you watch BAU-Gate yet?
You did, didn't you?
Give us a sec.
I love this for us.
This chance to come full circle right now.
So what'd you do after you watched it?
My homework.
Oh? Did you research where to get some of the outfits I put you in?
No.
How to source the original footage a deepfake is based off of.
Kinky. I didn't know you were into that sort of stuff.
Neither does your wife.
Uh-huh.
Yeah?
Now, you didn't use her for all the images.
That would be real stupid.
But you used her enough
that I could tell you were filming her without her permission.
Well, lucky for you, I can bury things too.
But, Elias?
You better pray that anything with my face on it
stays hidden better than one of your little bunkers.
- Yeah? - Mmm.
Great.
Oh. Hey, uh, JJ.
Good luck.
I mean it.
I'm sure you do.
Please stop.
We will when you tell us the truth.
Okay.
I didn't like Doug Bailey at first.
He was a bureaucrat, a blue flamer.
Is that why you killed him?
No.
I changed my opinion.
I watched him save people's lives.
And he had a drive that was...
I used to have it.
And now I know...
...where that came from.
I didn't kill Doug Bailey,
but I do feel responsible for his death.
But Pete, I swear to you,
Elias Voit pulled the trigger.
Not me. Not my team.
That's not a confession.
You said you wanted the truth.
Emily Prentiss, we find you guilty of conspiracy to commit murder.
What are you doing?
We're delaying your sentence.
Delaying? For what?
You already told me that my team is looking for me.
There it is.
All that information that Voit gave you about the BAU.
Yeah.
We know the cavalry's coming.
We're counting on it.
Voit gave us this idea when he rigged the shipping container.
Jade would've taken you out at the training facility,
but she had to direct the blast away from you
to make sure the kids were safe.
But this time...
This time, everybody dies.
The cavalry has arrived.
They're here.
Right on time.
All they have to do is open the door.
Garcia.
I'm almost there.
They still have power,
and they have rigged their own Internet hookup there.
What? Oh.
Hello.
What is it?
They have an off-the-shelf security camera,
and that is hella easy for me to hack into.
Good. We need to know if we've lost the element of surprise.
Brilliant. Let's see what we can see.
They're watching us.
Now they know it's a standoff.
Shock and awe are off the table.
Here's what we're seeing.
Is there a speaker or a microphone? Can we talk back?
No, there's just one door. One way in, one way out.
Open it.
Wait!
Could be a funnel. We can't afford to get trapped at the door.
Something's not right.
What is it?
When we split up, Voit wished me good luck.
So?
It's how he said it.
He shot a finger gun at me.
If I say send it, you send it.
It's a trap.
- How do you know that? - Voit. It's his one last chance to gloat.
What's happening?
Hang on. Just hang on.
We have to find another way in.
We're dealing with two conspiracy theorists who think that we're the enemy.
There's not gonna be another way in.
Garcia, how did Pete get those videos from his brother?
Uh, from his phone, which he then streamed to a digital projector.
Can you access the projector so that we can show a different video on it?
Yeah, I guess so. Why?
We can't tell Pete and Jade the truth, but we can show them.
- Rebecca. - Yeah?
This is where you come in.
Come on.
And when my best AUSA asks why
you shot Deputy Director Douglas Bailey in the head,
what are you gonna say to that?
I was standing my ground.
The FBI's second-in-command paid me a house call to shut me up.
So I protected my family, and I shot Bailey.
What is this?
I don't know. It just started on its own.
Garcia, can you punch in on Voit and replay what he just said?
Yes, I can.
...why you shot Deputy Director Douglas Bailey in the head,
what are you gonna say to that?
I was standing my ground.
Who's that?
That's Voit.
Come on, Pete.
Be smart.
Use what Voit gave you.
The FBI's second-in-command paid me a house call to shut me up.
So I protected my family, and I shot Bailey.
Run this through the app. Tell me if it's real.
It's real.
If I'm wrong, then I'll admit I'm wrong.
Pete?
Stand down.
No.
Jade, I don't mind dying, but I'm not dying over a lie.
We gotta stand down.
Look.
The explosives are disarmed.
- How do we get out of this alive? - All right.
Both of you need to get on your knees and put your hands in the air.
Do not shoot.
Jade and Pete have surrendered.
Prentiss, are we clear?
You're clear.
We're clear. All right, let's go. Breach! Breach!
We're clear.
- Gun! - Jade, no!
Back off, everyone!
Weapon! Okay, hold it. Hold.
Do you know that feeling
when you're staring up at the ceiling and you're thinking...
"What if it's all bullshit?"
Maybe it's after a-- a preacher's sermon,
or your dad yelling at you, or...
Or some man is done holding you down.
So you know?
I do.
So you know that the only way to make it through
is to just buy all the bullshit...
because the alternative is way too fucking hard.
Jade, Mila is alive because of you.
And Damien's dead.
That's why we need you.
We need you to tell us about Damien and Stuart House.
We need you to tell us your truth.
Will you listen to me this time?
Yes, we will.

You wanted to talk?
What gave you that idea?
Well, I'm no profiler, but I am a dad,
so I know a passive-aggressive after-action report when I read one.
Was it worth it?
Making that deal with Voit instead of coming clean from the beginning?
Eleven scientists.
Five strike team members.
Aidan Keller and his victims.
Jade's father and his buddies.
Damien.
Frank Church.
Probably more that we don't even know about.
Was it worth it?
Everybody thinks they know what it takes to be a leader...
but they don't.
Not really.
Not like we do.
Yeah. So what is it that we know, Ray?
That discretion is the better part of valor.
Elias Voit, BAU Gate.
You know better than anyone.
You stop a secret from becoming a conspiracy by keeping it a secret.
What happens to Pete and Jade?
They'll be prosecuted for their crimes like any other criminal.
But they're not any other criminal.
They're victims.
That's justice, Emily.
Not if they get life sentences and Voit gets out in five.
If they plead guilty, I'll recommend FCC Butner.
It's the prison with the best psychological services.
That's not enough.
Emily, you're the unit chief of a branch of the FBI
that takes up one half of 1% of my budget.
You have the same capital when it comes to making demands.
That was true, but not anymore.
No?
No.
Not when your valor depends on my discretion.
And what did you have in mind?
Are you okay?
Yeah.
You saved me.
Thank you.
Son. Son.
- Peter! - Dad?
Oh, my God.
Mom.
- We thought we lost you. - We missed you so much.
We thought we lost you both.
I'm sorry.
Nice, nice.
So, what is this I'm hearing on the streets
about a certain résumé being submitted by a certain someone to Quantico?
You know about that? Obviously you know about that.
I'm omnipresent. You'd think a boy would know that by now.
Yeah. I have given HR my resume.
- They haven't said yes yet, but-- - They're gonna say yes.
Well, if they do, I'm not sure what I'm gonna do.
Well, what are you not sure about?
You. Me. Us working together.
We're okay.
- Yeah? - Yeah.
But I appreciate you being not sure.
And voilà.
It seemed appropriate.
- "Hooray. You're alive." - Hey, come on.
That is something that we don't celebrate enough.
- Yeah, you're right. - Yeah.
- Yeah. Absolutely. - All right.
- Good. - Oh, I'm so sorry. Wait.
JJ, finish your story.
So you were so high you couldn't get off the couch?
I thought I was dying.
I have never been that high, ever.
Now, Emily, on the other hand...
Every time I think I know her, she surprises me with another secret.
Oh. Uh, speaking of secrets.
How long has this been going on?
What? What?
- What? - Oh, please. Come on.
Fine. We're busted. Busted.
- We're profilers. - A couple weeks.
We-- You know, we decided that we were more miserable apart than together.
I don't know if you guys know the worst part of dating a guy...
No offense.
- None taken. - This should be good.
...is the shoes, man.
Like, I couldn't wear heels because these insecure guys
were sad about looking at my belly button all the time.
Like, you know, you're welcome.
You know, I'm just glad somebody addressed the height disparity.
Oh, well. It's why we fit together.
She's Schwarzenegger, I'm DeVito.
Penny for your thoughts, kid.
Uh,
Voit's bugging me.
Why are you saying his name in my personal lair?
Gold Star's gone. Thank God for that.
But he's-- he's not out of our lives.
Correction. We're not out of his. Okay?
We haven't run out of ways to nail him.
I hear that, but isn't it weird to anyone else
that Voit wants to be in general population?
Yeah. He does like being by himself.
Yeah. Underground. Away from people.
Hey.
Sorry I'm late.
What did I miss?
Nothing at all.
You're just in time.
I'm making an executive decision here.
For tonight, Elias Voit no longer occupies space in our heads.
On the gate.
Uh, can I help you fellas?
You're Elias Voit, aren't you?
No. Uh, Lee Duval.
You got the wrong guy.
No, you're Voit.
We heard all about you.
