Previously on
"Criminal Minds: Evolution"...

I should have known
that a couple who met at Al-Anon

would have boundary issues.

I hate how we ended,
I really do,

but I thought
we could be friends.

Prentiss: My theory is
Gold Star is a killer

trained by the government.

He's leaving a calling card.

You transfer me
to help you

stop the spread
of a contagion.

What I can give you,
Director,

is why Gold Star kills.

Madison: If you provide
actionable information,

the DOJ is prepared
to offer you a deal.

You're going to agree

that I'm never charged
as Sicarius,

and I'll tell you
everything I know.

Tyler: I think these victims
were a strike team,

and Gold Star
wants revenge.

The BAU will work
with Elias Voit.

We will not.
We will resign.

Fine with me.We'll cooperate.

Tyler Green. We'd like
to add him on as a consultant.

No badge, no gun.

The more time
we spend with Voit,

the more opportunity
we have to get ammunition

that we can use
against him.

So you think we might be
able to get Voit

to incriminate
himself?

Rossi: Could be an admission,
a slip-up.

There'’s no deal in the world
that'’s gonna save his ass.

Who wants
first crack at him?

Let'’s get started.

Elias Voit: "A powerful monster
living down in the darkness

growled in pain,
impatient." -- Beowulf.

Let'’s get started.

Seven days. Seven days,
he'’s been doing that.

He will not
engage with me.

It doesn'’t make sense.

Voit's immunity is contingent
on him cooperating.

So why isn'’t he?Narcissism.

He'’d rather turn his back
on us than admit we caught him.

Except our whole strategy is
to get him to run his big mouth

so he can implicate
himself.

Look, if we don'’t get him
to talk soon, we'’re boned.

You know, the first thing
that I ask myself

when I talk to a convict is,
what does he want?

What does Voit want?

He'’s already got it.

His deal gets him out
in five years.

You said he wrote letters
to his family, right?

Sydney returned them all,
unopened.

Right, so the thing that
Voit wants most,

he'’s never going
to get back.

Marriage, kids.

You could remind him
of that.

Get under his skin.

Do you think you can
give me a hand?

[ Scoffs ] Yeah.
You know it.

Okay, you.
Step it out for me.

How are you doing it?

'Cause I'’m
a withering rose here.

Doing what, Garcia?

Tara, our former paramours who
used to be up in our business

are currently all up
in our business.

How are you managing?What? [ Laughs ]

I mean, come on, people --
people break up.

Life goes on.
Alright, it'’s fine.

Look at me.
I-I'’m completely fine.

Wh-What are you doing?

I'’m using my empathic powers
to stare into your soul and...

No, you aren'’t fine.

Well, no,
I'’m not fine now.

Oh, spill your feelings to me.
Now. Go.

Okay. Geez.

I just, I tell myself
if I don'’t have to spend

any alone time with Rebecca,
then I'’ll be okay.

So, uh, I avoid the elevator,
I avoid stairwells,

I avoid the ninth floor 'cause
that'’s where her office is,

and also the eighth
and the tenth

because you can never be
too safe. Are you happy now?

Yes.
Thank you.

Why, because I'’m insane?

Uh-huh, and I'’m in good company
with my crazy.

[ Gasps ]
Speak of the devil.

You know a guy?Yes, I know a guy.

[ Scoffs ]
I need more than that

if I'’m gonna sign off
on whatever you want to do.

My background is
in psychological operations

for the Army.
That means disinformation.

So I have friends who do
off-the-books work for me.

So far off, it'’s illegal?Of course not.

But one of these friends dug
into the escrow account

used to pay the strike team
Gold Star killed.

And the escrow account
also rents

a storefront office
on K Street.

Who'’s running
the office?

That'’s what
I want to find out.

I want to stake it out,
question whoever goes in or out.

Uh, you'’re
a consultant.

You can'’t bring a suspect in
for questioning.

I mean, I wasn'’t gonna bring
them infor questioning.

Oh, and now
it'’s illegal.

I'’ll make sure we stay
on the right side of this.

A lead's a lead.

[ Sighing ] I have to
run this up the flagpole.

Be prepared for
the answer to be no.

It's hard for me to help you
when you put me in handcuffs.

Hey, kid, I know
playing by the rules

is not your strong suit --Yours either.

Ah, touché.

But the difference is
you'’re here in my good graces.

[ Cellphone chimes ]

We got a case. Don'’t move until
I give you the green light.

Meet Caroline
and Timothy Leo,

school teachers
from Provo, Utah.

Well, actually,
we can'’t meet them,
because this morning,

state police found their bodies
at a local campsite.

And why are we
being called in?

Uh, the why is because
Timothy Leo was enucleated.

Whoa! Whoa.

This new 8K
really lets you see

all the gooey details,
doesn'’t it?

I asked ViCAP to flag

any cases overlapping
with Gold Star's M.O.

Okay, well, Gold Star
is an assassin

who kills
other assassins.

And Voit said he would
go back underground

after he eliminated
the strike team, so...

We'’re not taking anything
Voit says at face value.

I absolutely agree,

but how do two
schoolteachers fit in?

Garcia: That-- that'’s not
crystallized yet,

but I'’ve done
a cursory search.

I'’ve got zilch so far.

There'’s no fishy bank transfers,
no secret weapons bunkers.

The cause of death is
a nine-millimeter to the chest?

Also part
of Gold Star'’s M.O.

Well, did he leave behind
an engraved bullet?

Uh, no, he did not.

Well, I mean, that'’s --
that'’s his signature, right?

He wouldn'’t deviate
from that.

No, the eyes
are his signature.

That'’s the behavior
he'’s compelled to repeat.

We'’re taking the case.

Agreed.

Problem is, one of us is
gonna have to babysit Tyler

on a stakeout.
Oh, not you, Penelope.

I don'’t want to do it.

Um, I'’ll do it.

Okay. Looks like
it'’s you and me.

If we can stop
Gold Star in Utah,

maybe we can keep
Voit in prison.

This is bullshit.

He just wants as much
information as possible

so he can make up
whatever he wants

and keep us chasing our tails.

Jennifer: We agree.

But it'’s also
an opening.

Gold Star's last victim,
Isaac Sanchez.

He cut out his tongue.
He'’d never done that before.

Prentiss:
Yeah, we were there.

He severed the lingual artery
at the base of the tongue.

Sanchez drowned
in his own blood.

Yeah, that'’s an awfully
specific technique.

So we checked it
against the bodies

in Voit'’s
shipping container.

And we found a working girl
named Desiree Caldwell.

Cause of death was
her tongue being severed

at the lingual artery.

We profiled Voit
and Gold Star talked

on Voit'’s network,
and it sounds like

this is what they could
have been talking about.

They were trading techniques
like cooking recipes.

Exactly. If I can get Voit
to admit to that,

we have tied him
to the bodies

in those
shipping containers.

Right. Voit'’s deal is only
for federal prosecution.

The local jurisdictions
will make sure that

he never gets out
of prison.

Here'’s my concern.
The director of the FBI

made a deal with Voit
before he came to us.

He is not gonna let us
throw a bomb

into his
carefully laid plans.

If you get a confession from
Voit, it has to be airtight.

Agreed.

We'’ll get him
on the record, Emily.

Okay. [ Sighs ][ Cellphone beeps ]

You okay?Yeah.

I just want to catch
Gold Star in Utah.

I hate even thinking
about us talking to Voit.

Yeah. Me too.

You only hate it because you
and I both know the truth.

This guy'’s
not Gold Star.

Victimology is off,

signature is off,
M.O. is off.

Why don'’t you tell her
what you'’re actually thinking?

Did you just say
my name?

No, no, I-I was just, uh,

Since the dad was the only one
enucleated, it'’s safe to say

he was the target
of the UnSub'’s anger.

And the mom was
collateral damage.

Gold Star's never had
a problem with that.

[ Cellphone chimes ]

Oh, the M.E. just emailed
his final report.

Huh.What?

Apparently, Timothy Leo'’s
shoelaces were removed.

Well, the wife
was wearing slippers.

Could be just OCD behavior
on the part of the UnSub.

Or it could be
military training,

which we know
Gold Star has.

Oh, that'’s a reach.

This is what you see
in involuntary commitment

to keep the patients
from hanging themselves.

What about rehabs?

Some. Why?

Well, the night
the Leos were killed,

they surrendered their son
to a detox slash rehab school

in Sundance Valley
for opiate abuse.

Maybe that'’s a trigger
for Gold Star.

I gotta be honest,

I'’m still stuck on
"no bullet."

We have
the enucleation.

And there's a lot of nutjobs
out there with a thing for eyes.

We can'’t silo
our thinking.

Fair enough.

I'’ll tell you what.

I will consider
that this isn'’t Gold Star,

if you'’ll consider
that it is.

And how do we prove it
either way?

We start with the son.
Philip.

[ Cellphone vibrates ]Commitment was involuntary.
He might have some thoughts.

Aha.

Good news?
Yeah.

Tara and Tyler
have permission

to stake out the building,
so maybe they can find out

something about Gold Star
that even Voit doesn'’t know.

the rage in the '90s.

But now?Come on.

What budding sociopath
wants to be an unknown subject?

That'’s not where
the clicks are.

So what are you saying?
Gold Star wants attention?

No.He'’s an assassin.
He'’s too controlled for that.

I didn'’t say he was
an assassin. You said that.

Social contagion.

Social --
Contagion.

based on what you'’re exposed to.

How it manipulates you

Gold Star was more
infected than most.

I know what
social contagion means.

I also know you used
that specific word,

contagion, with the director
to get your deal.

You know, you never get

in federal custody.

This is why the director
came to you for help.

You must have seen
a lot of social contagion

on your network, right?

I mean, that'’s what the whole
network is for, isn'’t it?

One killer infects another
with his thinking,

his process.

You could say that.

So who infected
Gold Star, then?

Because his sadism

Thanks for coming in.

Detective Shah.
Good to see you again.

This is BAU team
leader Emily Prentiss.

We have a conference room
ready for you,

and Philip Leo is in
the interview room.

Since he'’s a minor, we'll
need a lawyer in there with him.

Man:
Actually, you don'’t.

Max Cody.
With the Patton School.

Philip enrolled
yesterday.

You don'’t have any
jurisdiction here, Mr. Cody.

Uh, no, he does.

Utah is the only state
in the nation

where parents can legally
assign custodial rights

to a private institution.

In light of what happened,
the school is granting you

permission
to talk to Philip.

Do you think he had anything
to do with his parents' murder?

What, like
one of his dealers?

No. Philip'’s a good kid who
just needs a kick in the ass.

Is that part of your program?
Corporal punishment?

No.
But tough love is.

And I'’ve never seen anyone
kill their parents over that.

We have.

I'm Agent Emily Prentiss
with the FBI.

Are you up for
some questions?

Yes.

Yes.
I'’ll talk.

[ Inhales shakily ]

They'’re dead
because of me.

They are. How?

Do you know how many times
I fantasized

about murdering
my mom and dad?

And now that
it'’s happened, it's...

[ Voice breaking ]
It'’s all my fault.

No.

Just because you wanted this,
it doesn'’t mean you did it.

You sure?
'Cause it feels that way!

Yes. I'’m sure.

What you'’re feeling
right now, that'’s guilt.

And whoever did this,
he doesn'’t feel guilt.

So let'’s start
there, okay?

Can you think of anyone

who would be capable
of doing this?

Maybe somebody who was mad
at your mom and dad

for some reason?

No.

No?

Nobody was ticked off

that Mom and Dad
sent you away?

Dad didn'’t send me away.
Mom did.

Dad hated places
like Patton.

He did. Why?

He...used to
teach at one.

At a rehab?

It wasn't called that.

It was called a...

a behavioral modification
program.

But it was a really bad one,
one of those places

where they kicked the shit
out of the kids.

They had to
close it down.

Philip, this is
very important.

Can you think of the name

of the program
where your dad taught?

No.

Why?

Come on.
That can'’t be a coincidence.

Maybe our UnSub went
to one of these schools.

We pulled
the family'’s W-2s.

There'’s no record of a place
like his son described.

If it was abusive,

he might not want to publicize
he worked there.

We also researched behavioral
modification programs.

The only place that matched
was an LLC named Stuart House.

But they pulled up roots
in 2015.

We'’re checking,
but...

that place was granola
and equine therapy.

They had zero
records of abuse.

Prentiss:
So then it was another program.
And somebody's hiding it.

Hiding?Yes.

What do we know
about Gold Star?

He'’s driven by
vengeance.

If he was abused
in one of these programs,

he'’s come back
to complete his mission.

And just like
the strike team,

these victims don'’t want us
to know what they did to him.

I'’m sorry,
who is Gold Star?

Uh, it'’s another UnSub.
We'’re not sure it's him.

No, I-I am.

to the shipping containers,

Now he's shut us down.

So he stopped
talking again?

Worse.

His lawyer filed a petition
with the attorney general.

According to the e-mail,

"Agent Jareau has proven
herself untrustworthy,

and my client will not
communicate with her further."

Fine
Let him rot.

It's not that simple.

She said the director
told her

that if the BAU
can'’t get it done,

he'’s gonna find
another unit that can.

What the hell is this?
Why is he out to get us?

It seems like as long as Voit
dangles Gold Star,

the director will bend over
backwards for him.

Okay, so Voit'’s petition
only named JJ.

This is what we'’re gonna do.
Luke, you'’re going in.

Kidnapping just got reported,

According to the witness,
the victim, Nancy Daley,

worked at
a mental health facility.

He left a witness?

Yeah, her daughter.

I'’m sorry.
I didn'’t even see his face.

He was wearing
a hoodie.

Ruby, it'’s okay.

Now, why don'’t you tell me

There was
one weird thing.

God, this is gonna sound
so stupid, but...

his boots, they didn'’t have
any laces in them.

Ruby,
that'’s not stupid.

That'’s incredibly helpful.

Now, your mom --

you told Detective Shah
she worked in mental health.

Was she a doctor?

No,
a receptionist.

Where?

I don'’t know,
a lot of places.

I'’d have to go
through her computer,

but she saved
every email ever.

I need the world'’s best hacker
to make sense of it.

Well...

we might have
somebody like that.

Alright, cat and cougar,
hang on to your flea collars,

because I may have found a place

that Timothy Leo
and Nancy Daley

both worked at.

And I did.

It'’s called
the Stuart House.

We took them
off the list.

Well, of course you did.
This place looks squeaky clean.

But, see, I never trust
the squeaky clean.

It always means there's dirtier
dirt underneath their rocks,

and in this case, that dirt
takes the form of a secret annex

where they employed

special adjustment methods
for their youths.

Do you
have an address?

No, there'’s nothing
in Nancy'’s file.

There'’s nothing public either.

Crikey.

What?

Well, somebody
with fast pockets

and a very fancy
internet scrubber

went to great lengths
to hide this place.

A big man can admit
when he'’s wrong.

Okay, let'’s
work backwards.

If there was abuse,
there were police records.

Whoever'’s hiding this
can'’t hide that.

I love the way
you think.

I'’m cross-referencing
Salt Lake criminal records

and oh, Aiden Keller.

He was arrested
for removing the eyeballs

of an orderly who molested him.

I am pinging where
his cell phone is now.

It'’s there.

It'’s at that very same annex

where all the eyeball vengeance
happened.

It was leased by Stewart House
and it was abandoned in 2015.

Garcia, is there
any overlap

between Aiden Keller
and Gold Star?

Maybe.
What am I looking for?

Does Aiden Keller'’s

We weren'’t assigned. We

proves my point.

You are out of

Because Gold Star is more
than a serial killer,

more than an assassin.

Then what is he?

It used to be difficult to

that kind of threat.

Jennifer couldn'’t see it.
But you can, can'’t you?

He'’s a
conspiracy theorist.

I guess you are the smart one
on the team after all.

Imagine a man...
a soldier, if you will,

who was groomed
by his abusive upbringing

and indoctrinated
by his training

to believe this lie.

Come on.

Stand by for breach.

That man would
be so dangerous

that he would have to be killed
before he could spread it.

if that man killed the men

just maybe,
