I, um... can't sleep.

Want me to turn off the light?

No. I wouldn't be able to sleep.

What's the matter?

What's the matter with you, Hotch? You're sitting here doing work when you'd normally take a break. Please don't tell me it's about Gideon leaving.

You know, we made a deal a long time ago not to profile each other.

Am I wrong? You know, Hotch, today was a huge, huge victory for all of us. I mean, I never thought I'd say this, but... we're doing just fine without Gideon. Hotch. What's keeping you up tonight?

[pause]

Haley's left. And I don't know if she's coming back.

"In the city, crime is taken as emblematic of class and race. In the suburbs, though, it's intimate and psychological; resistant to generalization; a mystery of the individual soul." Barbara Ehrenreich

We're looking for two men. Probably white, given the neighborhoods that they hit, mid to late twenties, intelligent, and organized.

These are career criminals. One or both has done hard time, but neither presents as a convict. They would appear clean-shaven, well dressed...

Neighborly. This helps them talk their way into the homes. They may also be using a ruse.

LNLt. Nellis

What kind of ruse?

Given that the invasions have taken place in the evening, it could be anything. Could be door to door sales, person in distress, car trouble.

Uh, Derrick Todd Lee used a tape of a baby crying to get women to open their doors in Baton Rouge. Never underestimate their creativity.

These men share a very tight bond, and a mutual compulsion to kill, but their signatures reveal two very distinct personalities.

One brutalizes the parents. This is the dominant one. Sadistic, remorseless, extremely volatile.

The other prefers a needle. His injections are consistent with an angel of death. He's more withdrawn, sensitive, and he has a warped sense of mercy.

Dostoyevsky once said, "Nothing is easier than denouncing the evildoer. Nothing more difficult than understanding him."

MSMarie Samuels

Realistically, it'll take at least three hours to cover this place.

Realistically, we have less than half that time.

MSMarie Samuels

How do you figure?

99 percent of abducted children were killed or died within the first 24 hours, 75 percent within the first three hours, and like, of course you know, Jessica Davis, 44 percent of children were abducted and killed in the first hour.

I read the Jessica Davis report. I know you found the remains last week.

JFJames Franklin

Twenty years, never seen anything like it. Can't get the image out of my head. I joined the Bureau to rescue people, not to stand over another dead kid today.

Another seven seconds I was able to decipher, but it's seven more than we had.

What are we looking at?

Surveillance footage I retrieved off the second camera on the first floor. It shows Katie exiting the arcade, follows her movements through the crowd. She went north.

Until she disappears.

Criminy, I still can't make out who she was with.

Seven seconds...

All the images I could find, sir.

...is all that it takes for a child to disappear.

G. K. Chesterton wrote, "Fairy tales do not tell children that dragons exist. Children already know that dragons exist. Fairy tales tell children that dragons can be killed."

"An earthly kingdom cannot exist without inequality of persons. Some must be free, some serfs, some rulers, some subjects." Martin Luther

Go ahead, Garcia.

You were spot-on, crime fighters. Military records match. Francis Goehring, forty-two years old. Did a year in the Army, before a bad conduct discharge. Highlight of which was an arrest during a bar brawl in which three other people were hospitalized. Uh, he also appears in the federal database for - get this - aggressive militia groups.

Aggressive militia groups. Is there any other type?

Mm-hmm. That's your federal government at work. We specialize in redundancy.

RMRobert Miller

You do believe she's alive?

Unless I have evidence to the contrary, I very much consider her to be alive.

SSheriff

I wouldn't have called them in if i believed otherwise.

MMiller

[To Hotch] What do you believe?

I believe you spent all morning... going over and over in your head about the last time you saw her. And asking yourself, "How could it happen, why did it happen?"

I'm with the FBI.

TPTrailer Park Manager

FBI? You're not serious. You look like a pipe-cleaner with eyes. I could snap you like a twig.

Sheriff, someone around here must know who Goehring's partner is.

We should try Goehring's pals, the militia. Maybe they can help.

SSheriff

Militia leader is Harris Townsend, he owns a bar called the Horse Post.

I'd suggest sending Morgan.

What? All due respect, Rossi, but you've got an entire team to pick from. You're choosing me? Are you serious?

SSheriff

No offense, but, do you really want to do that?

Take J.J with you.

They know we're here. But you're the last face they expect.
