The Big Wheel

JJ: "Her name's Michelle Watson, a realtor murdered in Buffalo a week ago."

Hotch: "Until yesterday they had nothing, no leads, and then they got this."

JJ: "Buffalo P.D. received it from an unknown source yesterday."

Emily: "They able to trace it?"

Hotch: "No. Sent through an encrypt server from Ukraine."

Morgan: "There's no sound."

Reid: "Yeah, at first glance there doesn't seem to be a single frame to identify who shot it. He even covered up the mirror."

Garcia: "I've seen some crazy things sitting at this table, but that...why send that to the police?"

Watson: "Well, maybe it's a taunt, to show the police how smart he is."

Rossi: "Catch me if you can."

Morgan: "The two people in the video-they look directly at the unsub and neither one seems to register that they're being filmed."

Reid: "I think it's probably a hidden camera."

JJ: "The witnesses were able to give us enough for a sketch. White male, early 30s, wearing glasses."

Morgan: "It looks like an editing suite."

Rossi: "So he not only films the murder, he edits it."

Watson: "Do we know what this is that's playing on the monitor?" she points to the video playing in the background of the one they were sent

Hotch: "Buffalo P.D. is concerned that it might be another filmed killing."

Emily: "If it is, then we're not looking at just one murder, but two."

Hotch: "Buffalo is underfunded, undermanned, and they need our help."

Morgan: "Buffalo's a big gang town."

JJ: "Murder in the last year alone was over 700 people."

Hotch: "Garcia, I need you to go througthis frame by frame and put everything on disks."

Garcia: "Yes, sir. I'm on it."

Hotch: "Also, put together a go bag. If we get any more of these films, I want you on the ground taking point. Is that ok with you?"

Garcia: "Yes, sir. Excellent. Ok." she nods before fully walking out the room

Hotch: "Fast forward...there's something I want everyone to see."

Emily: "He's writing something." they watch as the words 'Help Me' appear on the screen

Hotch: "In order for the light to shine so brightly, the darkness must be present." Francis Bacon."

On The Plane

Morgan: "A serial killer asking for help. Well that's a new one on me."

Rossi: "Attempt at sarcasm?"

Hotch: "What if he's sincere?"

Rossi: "Then he's deeply ambivalent. He wants to stop, but like an alcoholic, he simply can't."

Watson: "When we see him driving, his point of view is elevated. I'd say he's driving a van or an SUV."

Emily: "And the film stops where it starts-at his home. So we could use the film to trace back, street by street, from the crime scene, right?"

Reid: "It only lasts 9 minutes. And in this frame, he clearly looks at a clock, and it's 9:22."

Emily: "Ok, the autopsy says Michelle Watson's time of death was 4:30 in the afternoon. So, he edited out 7 hours."
