[Children laughing]

[Indistinct chatter]

Garcia: Oh. Thank you for picking me up.

Yeah. Of course.

Oh, I don't know how long
Esther's gonna be in the shop.

The mechanic, she says they
have to get a special part

from California because, you
know, Esther runs on biodiesel,

but when that part is inside Esther,

she's gonna run like a dream.

She might run for another 100,000 miles.

Isn't this place great?

It is. Yeah. I've
never been here before,

but I ordered exactly what you told me.

Yes! Usually, I'm a tea gal,

but their nitro cold
brew here is everything.

Woman: Order for Emily.

Oh. This is us.

Ooh!

Uh, question.

Did you watch the show last night?

No. I'm behind.

Spoiler alert. May I?

- Go ahead.
- Ok. The blond one,

she died twice last week!

It was crazy with a "K"!

All right. So there
was that battle, right,

and they needed her to
have a secret identity.

Well, after that race car thing,

and then this week, she's back at work.

Wait. She's already back at work?

Yes, because she has special
healing powers, remember?

She gets back to work, and she professes

her undying love to her boss Steffi,

and I, like, screamed,

"they're gonna do that now? Now?"

I mean, she has loved
her for years and years.

Remember that one case they had,

and they went on the date afterwards...

Not a date. It was a
non-date date, but still...

And then Sergio, he puked up a fur ball

on some clean laundry
because he's diabolical,

but you're here, and I'm here,

and it's a beautiful
Wednesday morning...

Penelope, that isn't
your first coffee, is it?

Well, it doesn't count
if you brew it yourself.

I'm cutting you off now.

Fair play.

_

[Cell phone ringing]

[Sighs]

[Knock on door]

Morning. Hey.

Another day, another dollar.

Yep. Good old-fashioned
government dollar.

I can tell Garcia hit up
her favorite coffee truck

on her way to work.

I had to cut her off.

Wait. Don't you have a
budget meeting this morning?

Uh, yes, I do.

Emily.

Yeah?

You buried the lede.

Flowers?

That Andrew Mendoza's a keeper.

Mm-hmm.

- Can't be late for that meeting.
- Mm-hmm.

Man: This fiscal year, the bureau saw

a $46 million reduction.

The BAU was first
against all other units

in direct and indirect
costs for your travel.

I think unit chief
Prentiss can better speak

to their needs.

Yes, of course.

Uh, this fiscal year, the
BAU's costs have increased...

Man: Prentiss.

You have a second to go over
with requests with the director?

- Absolutely.
- Maybe grab some lunch.

I know he's been wanting
to speak with you.

I'd love to.

- I thought that went well.
- Yeah!

Do you think she'll
get to school on time?

It's not far, right?

No. They'll make it.

Kara's a great kid.

Her foster mom's taking
really good care of her.

She adores you.

Becoming an uncle 5 years
ago was a big surprise,

but now, man, I can't
imagine my life without her.

You're gonna be a great dad.

Thanks. Um, how long
does this usually take?

A while, so just hang in there.

Brenda, I can't thank you enough.

It's my pleasure.

- I'll be in touch.
- Great.

Oh. You're following me now.

It's so awkward when this happens

because we already said good-bye.

No. I get it. You wanted to spend

a few extra minutes with me.

You could have just asked, Sean.

Oh. I wish I had the time, but actually,

I'm running late for a meeting.

Maybe next time.

- This is me.
- Oh.

- Bye, Sean.
- Bye.

[Car starts]

[Liquid gushing]

Everything is wrong!

Everything you know is wrong...

And this is proof!

Pretty gruesome stuff.

Yeah. This is the third
killing in the last two months?

Yes. The Denver division invited us in.

They've got 3 men dead.

Each was decapitated.

Heads nowhere to be found.

Garcia: The first two were killed
in public yet secluded areas,

one on a bike path, the other at a park.

This the first time this
guy's left a message?

Prentiss: Yeah. Nothing like this
was found at the other crime scenes.

Garcia: Yeah, and
speaking of this message,

it was filmed on the victim's phone,

so there's no way to track it.

The unsub's not afraid of being seen.

We should take the partial
we have of his face,

run it through ViCAP,
and see if it hits.

And what did he mean by
"everything you know is wrong"

and this is proof"?

Proof of what?

Power, control, his
dominance over the victims.

Well, his word choice plus
that head, it feels like a taunt

directed at he viewer, not the victim.

If it was a taunt directed
at the general public,

he would have uploaded it somewhere.

Then it must be law enforcement.

Either way, the distinct lack of empathy

and remorse in his voice

plus his general demeanor

and the nature of his crimes tells us

that he's an organized offender

with a specific psychopathology.

One that includes taking
his victim's heads.

Nothing here says he's
close to being done.

Wheels up in 10.

Denver, huh?

Yeah.

Mendoza call you directly?

Uh, no actually. It came
through official channels.

So... You and Andrew long distance...

How's that been going?

Voice: Kyle!

You're getting closer.

Prentiss: "History has a
way of altering villains"

so that we can no longer
see ourselves in them."

Adam Serwer.

Go ahead, Garcia.

Garcia: Ok, fam. We got
dossiers on top of dossiers.

Our first victim is Manny Rodriguez...

Late thirties, divorced, no kids.

He was a twice-elected
city councilperson.

Politics can be messy. He may
have ruffled some feathers.

Jareau: Perhaps, but our second victim

Isaac Wiley was in his late 20s.

He worked for a tech firm.

There's nothing in his file

that could be considered controversial

or political.

Our latest victim Sean
Mcafee was an architect,

early 30s, single,
never married, no kids.

So all 3 had different jobs

and lived in different parts of town.

Alvez: Garcia, have you
found any overlap socially?

Do I have to start
calling you newbie again?

Ok. So you would have led with that.

Shut the front door.

Andrew Mendoza signed this report.

Andrew Mendoza is Prentiss' boyfriend.

He's the head of the
Denver field office?

Uh, yes. He has been for
the past, uh, two months.

Um, his daughter and ex-wife moved

to Colorado a year ago,

and he'd been waiting for a transfer

so he could be closer to Keely.

She starts high school soon, so...

Alvez: But you guys
are, um... you're good?

Yeah. Yeah. It's all good.

Anyway, we have bigger fish to fry

than my personal life, so when we land,

Simmons, Rossi, and I will set up

at the Denver division.

JJ, Reid, check out
the latest crime scene.

Tara and Luke, you will
go to the M.E.'s office.

Garcia: So we're just not gonna talk

about that tall hunk of
water you call your bae?

No.

I have so many questions.

Like, is he left-handed?
What does he sleep in?

Is he allergic to cats?

Prentiss: Bye, Penelope.

Was he ever in band?

Hey. I got to go, all right?

Dave, good to see you.

Same here.

- How you doing?
- How are you, brother?

- Good to see you.
- You, too. You, too.

And Chief Prentiss.

Oh, hi. Yeah.

Andrew, uh, what have you got for us?

Well, first off, we got
you guys set up over here,

and waiting to be interviewed are

the friends and family
of the first two victims.

Also a woman named Alice
Clarke is coming in.

She's the last known person
to speak to Sean Mcafee.

Great. We'll just need
a few minutes to set up.

All right.

Hey.

I missed you.

It's good to see you.

Uh-huh. Think we need to talk.

We will when the case is over.

Jareau: All right. Thanks.

So, uh, neighbors reported seeing

an older Ford station wagon in the area.

Hopefully we can get plates.

Did you see the additional
home surveillance?

I did. I just watched all the footage.

Hopefully, the extra
angles can help Garcia

with her facial recognition search.

Sean had cameras all over his house,

but based on the unsub's behavior,

he had no idea he was being filmed.

That means the unsub
probably wasn't stalking him.

This was all impulse.

He ransacked the place
after killing Sean.

In the video we saw, he clearly
wasn't looking for anything.

He just lost it.

Did you see the way
that he kept squinting

and shielding his eyes even though

there was no light above him?

Light sensitivity.

Plus emotional outbursts.

Pretty clear he's
going through some kind

of psychotic break.

That could make him easier to spot.

We should ask eyewitnesses
about strangers

exhibiting any innocuous,
repetitive behaviors.

There were no defensive wounds,

no signs of torture or ligature marks,

so it's unlikely he was held.

Did you run a tox screen?

Came up clean just as in
the previous two murders.

Alvez: Well, if our
unsub didn't drug Sean

and he didn't fight
back, then he must have

incapacitated him somehow.

Yeah. Perhaps with a sharp
bump to the back of the head.

Was the C.O.D. decapitation?

I believe so.

He most likely used some
kind of a heavy blade,

a broad or a felling ax.

That was my thinking, as well,

and it was done perimortem.

Sean was alive when this happened?

Yeah, and this killer
knew what he was doing.

A couple of clean
strikes, and... kktt...

He was finished.

That feels quick, almost transactional.

Yeah. He didn't want to
prolong the experience.

He was focused. He wanted
to get it done with.

And check out this latent bruising.

At first, I wasn't sure if
it happened during the attack

or when he fell, but it appears
to be some kind of marking.

The unsub must have
pressed it into his chest.

Dr. Martinez, did you find anything
similar on the other victims?

There was some latent
bruising in the same vicinity,

but I'm not sure about
symbols or markings.

Are the bodies still here?

Yes, they are.

- Well, let's take a look.
- Ok.

Mendoza: Ms. Clarke,
thank you for coming in.

Have a seat.

I understand you
worked with Sean Mcafee.

Yes, that's right. We're working...

We worked on the same project together,

this high rise going up downtown.

And he called you yesterday afternoon?

Yes. He was running late.

He just wanted to let
me know that I should

start the meeting by myself.

I was surprised, but he also has a lot

of personal things going
on in his life, so...

Oh, yeah? Like what?

He has a sister that just
went to jail for 10 years...

Drugs or something.

Sean was filing for custody
of her daughter Kara.

He wanted to raise her.

That's why he was late

because he was having lunch with
his niece and the case worker.

It was their first sit-down.

Sean was gonna be a father.

We got to bring that case worker in.

Yes, and like our other two victims,

Sean was last seen
with or around a child.

They're fathers or father figures.

That's why the unsub is targeting them.

Yeah.

Man: Watch your head!

[Indistinct chatter]

Hey, hey. I got it. I got it. Thank you.

Hey. Come on, bud. Let's go.

Even Lionel Messi has to practice.

Coming!

Lewis: So it turns out that
there was latent bruising

on the torsos and
chests of all 3 victims.

A closer analysis of
the contusions revealed

that they're some kind of characters.

Now taken together, we think
they may be mathematical symbols,

perhaps part of a larger expression.

Schrodinger's equation. They form
the basis of Schrodinger's equation.

Prentiss: Well, I've
heard of Schrodinger's cat.

Both describe potential energy.

Schrodinger's equation is the
basis of quantum mechanics.

It describes the probability that

a particle will behave in a certain way

in a certain place in a certain time.

The implications of this gave
rise to the many worlds theory

of the universe.

Mendoza: Which is that
reality as we know it

is only one of many possible universes.

Yeah. Yeah. I'm with you.

I watch "Doctor Who."

Jareau: Ok. So does our unsub think he's

in a parallel universe?

Alvez: What does killing dads have to do

with parallel universes?

I mean, maybe he's mad at his own?

Even if he is, why take their heads?

It doesn't line up.

You know, we said these
kills are transactional.

Maybe the heads are sacrifices
or tokens of some sort,

something the unsub needs to do

in order to pass between realities.

I mean, it only has
to make sense to him.

Yeah. Matt's right.

Most serial killers engage in some kind

of fantastical thinking, right...

Bundy, Dahmer.

Son of Sam thought he saw a talking dog,

but this particular delusion that

this unsub is experiencing,

it comes from somewhere.

Not to mention, outside
of our boy genius,

most people don't know that equation.

Yeah. We should be looking
for people with a background

in theoretical physics
and quantum mechanics.

And fast because based on
the markings on those bodies,

his equation isn't complete.

He hasn't finished his proof yet.

Yes, honey. I got the onion pakora

and the mango chutney, too, extra hot.

Ok. All right. Then she
can have my butter chicken.

All right. See you soon. Love you.

Unh!

[Thud]

[Splat]

Creature: Ha ha ha!

You have to mark him, Kyle.

Thanks. Victim's name
was Dan Montgomery.

He was picking up food
for his wife and son.

Did he have the same
kind of latent bruising

on his chest as the others?

Yeah. The next symbols in the equation.

Ok. Thanks.

Man: Look. I'm not saying it
was a walk of shame or anything,

but, uh, these are yesterday's clothes.

Oh. Sounds like a hell of a night.

This is Kevin Patterson.

He was in the bar next door last night.

- What'd you see?
- I had a few drinks,

uh, met a woman.

We got to chatting.

Things were going well.

I was pretty sure she liked me.

Anyway, I stepped outside
while she was in the restroom.

Then I saw this guy across the way.

He, uh, had something in his
hand, I think, a large stick,

but I heard him say, "isn't this enough?"

Why isn't this enough?"

Who was he talking to?

Nobody. I just figured he
was some homeless drunk,

but then he turned
to me stone-cold sober

and said, "I need to get back."

Freaked me out, and the girl
I met came out of the bar.

We left together.

Uh, I never saw a body or anything.

I didn't think about it
again till this morning

when I saw the news.

All right. We're gonna need the
name of the woman you left with.

And, Kevin, I'd like you to work
with one of our sketch artists.

Is that all right?

Oh, yeah. Yeah. Of course.

- Great.
- Right this way.

Our unsub's psychosis is getting worse.

He's hallucinating now.

Yeah. He's not even concerned
about a potential witness

seeing him either.

Well, what was the last
thing Kevin heard him say?

He needs to get back.

So let's put this all together.

Parallel universes, wrong timeline,

get back as in cross over.

I think I know how
this is all connected.

We need to deliver the profile.

We're looking for a male in
his late 30s or early 40s,

who we believe is killing in order

to cross over into a parallel universe.

Simmons: This unsub is a
man living inside a delusion,

a fractured reality that
he believes is wrong.

Rossi: The idea that we're
living in the wrong timeline

is most commonly described
as the Mandela effect.

Lewis: The Mandela effect is a
psychological phenomenon similar

to false memory syndrome.

It's so called because a
significant number of people have

a very clear memory of Nelson Mandela

dying in prison in the 1980s

when we know that not to be true.

He did, in fact, survive, was released,

and made president of South Africa

until he passed away in 2013.

Scientists and psychologists
haven't figured out

this phenomenon yet.

Reid: But a popular theory on line is

that we are currently
living in a parallel reality,

that at some point in the recent past

our world or timeline shifted,

and the evidence is all around us.

Things we collectively remember
to be one way are actually another.

Names of childhood books, authors,

certain phrases, even brands.

"The Berenstein Bears" while others
recall "the Berenstain Bears."

Unh!

Unh! Unh!

Reid: Or Curious George... do you
guys remember a tail or no tail?

A tail.

Got to have a tail, right?

He's a monkey.

No tail.

Simmons: We don't know
what sparked our unsub's

interest in the Mandela effect,

but when we find that, we find him.

Mendoza: Do we have a
theory on why he's targeting

fathers or father figures?

Well, as of right now,
given the violence,

he seems driven by a hatred
perhaps towards his own father.

Alvez: This man is dangerous.

He's isolated, and
he's mission-oriented.

[Grunting]

Alvez: We have to issue a warning
to the public not to confront him.

[Screaming]

He's out there. Let's get to work.

Thank you.

Aah!

[Breathing heavily]

Why won't you let me see him?

You can't see what you
refuse to look at, Kyle.

You're running out of time.

Coffee?

Lewis: Yes. Thank you.

Look, guys. We are banging our heads

against a wall here.

I mean, Denver is
littered with colleges,

and we've already worked our way

through most of the
academics and scientists.

Well, you know what? We
just need to step back

and look at things differently.

The Mandela effect is a unique
psychological construct, right?

I mean, there's got to be a good reason

why he latched onto it in particular.

Well, creation of dissociative realities

can often be a crutch for people
who've suffered extreme trauma.

Ok. Let's run with that.

We're looking for a loss
triggered by an event

likely caused by the unsub himself,

and then this inability
to accept this reality

would be a defense mechanism
for a mind racked with guilt.

Alvez: So unable to face reality,
our unsub has created his own.

Still doesn't explain why he's
killing father figures, though.

Unless it does. Say his own guilt

is a major factor in a break like this.

That would mean that
he's picking out dads

out of some kind of self-loathing.

This isn't about his
hatred toward his own dad.

These men are surrogates for him.

He's angry at himself.

Our unsub's the father here.

Hey.

What happened to you last night?

I thought you'd come by.

I texted you.

Um...

Oh. Here. Come with me.

Talk to me.

I don't know what to say.

Well, maybe you start
with why you canceled

your trip a couple weeks ago.

Like I said, there was an abduction.

Emily, there's always gonna be a case,

and you know I know, ok,

but you were supposed
to come for the weekend,

finally meet Keely.

Mm-hmm.

And now you're back to
dodging my calls and texts.

Did I do something wrong?

No, and thank you for the flowers.

Oh, you're welcome, but
if not, then what is it?

This has just been harder
than I thought it was gonna be.

You know, I never wanted moving
here to change anything between us.

What I want... Is you.

I want us,

but right now, it feels like

you're... Pulling away.

Ohh.

Are we breaking up?

No. That's not what I want.

Well, then what do you want? Tell me.

I'll do it.

We're at work.

Before you go back to D.C.,

I just want to know where we stand, ok?

[Sighs]

Oh, hey. I was just looking for you.

What's up?

Penelope found something hinky

in regards to the social worker

who was helping Sean Mcafee.

She's bringing the
others up to speed now.

Ok. Great.

Go ahead, Garcia.

Ok. So our initial interview
with Sean's case worker

Brenda Hacker didn't
raise any red flags,

but she was the last
person to see him alive,

so I did some additional spelunking.

And?

Welcome to the thunderdome.

I looked at Brenda's financial records,

her phone records, her case records.

She specializes in a
very specific clientele,

single dads who are fighting for custody

of their child or children,

and she has an unusually
high success/placement rate.

How unusual?

Like, get yourself to
Vegas, call your bookie,

the fix is in unusual.

You think she's greasing the wheels?

Oh, she's lubing them up big time.

Uh, stop smiling, Luke Alvez.

I can feel it. That
joke was not for you.

What I'm saying is her testimony holds

a special kind of weight with the judge.

She's got her finger in the
cookie jar somehow or another.

We should bring her back in.

Doesn't seem like a coincidence
that she works with fathers

and our unsub might be one.

Lewis: Good work, Garcia.

Alvez: Penelope.

New phone. Who dis?

Thank you.

You should worship at
my throne, Luke Alvez.

Oh, but I do. I do. You know I do.

What does that even mean?

Man: Another time.

Come on, Dad.

Mo would let me drive.

I have my learner's permit.

Boy: Yeah. Let her, Dad.

Here. You can start the car,

but that's it.

Girl: Dad, that's so lame.

Man: That's all you're
gonna get for now.

I'll take you out later
when it's just the two of us.

[Sighs]

[Car starts]

Kyle: Unh!

Unh!

Ohh!

Dad?!

Aah! Aah!

Oh, no!

Aah! Aah! Aah!

Boy: Dad!
Kyle: Drive, drive!

- Drive now!
- No, no!

Go!

- Girl: Aah!
- Drive!

[Tires squealing]

Wow. This place really
clears out at lunch.

Yeah. This granola
bar will do it for me.

Hmm. Me, too.

So you're not having lunch with Andrew?

3 months ago,

Andrew asked me to
move to Denver with him,

but I'm happy where I am.

I'm not ready to leave the BAU.

I haven't even met his daughter yet.

Why? You've been seeing
him for over a year.

Keely was already in Colorado,

and the couple of times
she visited last year,

the timing just didn't work out.

Hey. You're putting up walls.

I know because I've
put up plenty myself.

Uprooting my whole life?

Moving halfway across the country?

That's just not something
that I ever had in my plans,

and what if it doesn't work out?

Take it from a guy who just
married his third ex-wife

for the second time.

All of this work is worth it.

You deserve this. Be honest with him.

Tell him how you feel.

Simmons: Sorry to interrupt.
Denver PD just found

another decapitated body.

The head is missing, and
so are the man's two kids.

JJ and Reid are en route.

[Camera shutter clicks]

The fact that he left his vehicle behind

means he has no
intention of coming back.

He's never really hidden from us,

but this just feels
like the final straw.

He's finished one way or another.

Based on his equation, these
are his final 3 victims.

Ok, but then why the change in M.O.?

Why abduct two teenagers?

Probably has something to do
with the loss that he suffered.

Jareau: Oh.

Look at this.

Oh, Ethan. I've been
leaving you messages.

I hope you're getting them.

I've been trying to explain to you

that there are an infinite
number of realities,

branches, and 7 years ago,

our universe, it
branched into another one.

It... it was another timeline.

It was the wrong one
because you aren't here,

but I've figured out a way to
cross over to get back to you.

I'm coming for you.

It's all gonna be ok.

Don't be scared.

Dad is coming.

So it was his son that he lost.

He'll do anything to get
back to him, even kill,

maybe even trade one kid's life

for another.

Son's name is Ethan, right?

Ethan was the final piece of the puzzle.

Our unsub's name is George Kyle Peters.

He goes by Kyle. He's a former

high school physics teacher,

and his son Ethan died
when he was 7 years old

in a horrific car crash.

I'm sending you the info now.

It says here that Kyle was driving

his 7-year-old son
home from a movie

when he struck a patch of
black ice and lost control.

Ethan was... Decapitated.

Rusty!

Garcia: Two months ago was the
7-year anniversary of this death.

The anniversary was his trigger.

Kyle was in a coma for
months following the accident.

When he woke up, his son was gone.

Well, that's a hell of a stressor.

Lewis: Kyle's mind would not
let him process this grief.

[Screaming]

No matter what kind of
support he might have gotten,

he could not conceive of a world
that did not have his son in it,

so he created a new one,

one where Ethan was still alive.

Where's Kyle been the last 7 years?

In and out of institutions.

He was released 4 months ago.

[Kyle screaming]

I did everything you asked!

I brought you their heads as proof.

7 lives for the 7
years that have passed.

Alvez: The two teens that he kidnapped,

Emma and Colin Choi, Colin's 14.

That's the same age his son
would have been if he survived.

Mendoza: Looks like we caught a break.

Garcia wanted us to pull hard copies

of all of Brenda Hacker's files,

the ones that hadn't been digitized.

Turns out 12 years
ago Brenda was assigned

to help Kyle Peters get custody

of his son Ethan.

Wait a minute. The same
person was the case worker

for our third victim Sean and our unsub?

We thinking that's just as coincidence?

Well, actually, it might be.

Social workers here, they're
forced to see a lot of clients,

cover a lot of ground,

and we haven't seen any connection

between her and our other victims, so...

Hold on. It says here Kyle was arrested

on two DUI charges in college.

He sought help for a drinking problem.

And yet Brenda still
managed to get him custody.

Like I said, call your bookies.

That would indicate a classic
narcissistic savior complex.

Brenda likes that these men need her,

and she uses it against them.

Penelope, I need everything
you've found on her so far.

Got it. Coming, coming.

Is Brenda here?

Just arrived. Put her in my office.

Ok. We need to check out
Kyle's home and last knowns.

Talk to his former
co-workers and neighbors.

He's taken these kids someplace,

likely somewhere personal.

I did everything you asked!

Now it's time to make the trade!

Who's he talking to?

Colin: He's crazy. There's no one there.

We've got to get out of here.

How?

Help me with my tape.

Kyle: That's not what we agreed to!

You told me that this
would be over with!

Wait a minute. She was
making money off these guys?

Yep. Extortion plain as day.

What? All these calls,
all this time together.

Maybe it didn't stop there.

Well, Brenda's smart. She's
not gonna incriminate herself.

Well, we can't give her an out.

Brenda knows our unsub and well.

Right now, she's our best
bet at finding those kids.

Brenda, when was the last
time you saw Kyle Peters?

10, 12 years ago.

But you were aware that
his son passed away?

Yeah. I heard. I didn't
know him very well.

I was just his case worker.

According to cell phone
records, you called Kyle

7 years ago.

I don't really remember.

And prior to that when
you were handling his case,

you called him 4 or 5 times a day

from your personal phone,

sometimes after hours.

That sound like work to you?

Uh, it does not.

I think you knew Kyle a lot
better than you're letting on.

Perhaps you saw each other socially.

I'm not comfortable
with this conversation.

Brenda, these are
financial records, yours.

Uh, you'll see that there are
a large number of cash deposits

during the time period in question,

and what's interesting
is that they match up

with these records here,
which are Kyle's bank records.

They show withdrawals
from the same time period.

I don't like what you're implying.

Prentiss: Ms. Hacker,
Kyle has killed 5 people.

He's abducted two teenagers,

most likely with the
intent to kill them, too.

I don't know anything about that.

I haven't done anything wrong.

Well, now that's not
entirely true, Brenda, is it?

You target single men, like Sean,

fathers who are desperate to
retain custody of their children.

You get them to slip you a
little cash under the table,

and in exchange, you doctor their files.

You can't prove that.

Not yet.

You convinced a judge that Kyle
should get custody of his son

despite his history with alcohol abuse.

My guess is he was drunk on
the night of the accident,

and when he woke up from his coma,

you called him, and you
helped him fix his story.

You added in that bit
about the black ice.

Now it's pretty clear that story
was to protect you, not him.

You didn't want anybody
digging into Kyle's past

and finding something that
you worked so hard to hide.

The way I see it, that's
child endangerment.

So, Brenda, do yourself a favor.

Sit back down and tell us

about your relationship with Kyle,

and we'll take your
cooperation into consideration.

What do you want to know?

Everything that wasn't in his case file.

[Grunting]

Kyle: Now we agreed, Rusty.

It had to be.

That's what you said!

Aah!

[Groaning]

[Whimpering]

Ugh.

Prentiss: Brenda told
us that Kyle and his son

loved to explore an area
around an abandoned gold mine

in the foothills.

Yeah. They went every weekend.

Simmons: That makes sense.
Kyle was a scientist.

He wanted to foster a
similar love in his son.

Alvez: We're sure this is where
he would take Emma and Colin?

It's ideal. The mine's secluded.

It's been vacant for decades.

We need to be careful.
We're gonna be on his turf.

Rusty: This is it, Kyle.

This child for yours.

Please don't hurt me.

[Crying]

I just... I... I can't.

I'm sorry. I can't.

Don't you want to see your son again?

Ohh, ohh.

Please.

This child for yours.

Please.

I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry, Ethan.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry, Ethan.

Ohh! I'm so sorry!

I'm so sorry, Ethan.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

Simmons: These tracks lead inside.

Lewis: This has got to be it.

Alvez: According to the
map, there's another entrance

at the north.

Rossi: We should split up.

Lewis, Alvez, Simmons, see
if there's another way in.

Kyle: I'm sorry.

Rossi: Kyle Peters, FBI!

Drop the ax! Put it down!

Prentiss: Kyle, look at me.

You don't understand!

He is on the other side, he
is trapped on the other side.

He needs me! I am his father!

I do understand.

I know what it's like to have

someone you love stuck in another world,

wanting one thing, having another,

but really having neither,

afraid to face the truth.

You have to face it, Kyle.

Rusty: Kyle.

No. He said this the
only way to get him back.

He said a boy for a boy.

Prentiss: It's not. Everything is wrong.

No.

That's what you think, right?

Err!

That these sacrifices you've been making

will help you get your son back,

but they won't.

- It's not real.
- Err!

Look again.

Kyle, you have to face the truth.

[Kyle sobbing]

Oh, no.

What is the truth?

He's gone.

Ohh!

Ethan is gone.

[Squeals]

I just wanted to see him again.

[Sobbing]

[Ax clatters]

We need medics asap.

Come on.

Oh, god. I'm sorry. I'm sorry!

I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

Mom! Mom!

Mom!

Jareau: All this talk
of alternate realities.

Who do you think you'd
be in a parallel universe,

you know, in one of
your imagined futures?

Reid: I don't know.

Come on.

If you weren't an FBI agent,

what would you do?

You promise not to laugh?

A cowboy.

- A cowboy?
- Mm-hmm. Yeah.

I'd, um, you know, have some horses,

a few cattle,

be surrounded by nature.

And what would you do with cattle?

Well, you know, look at them, pet them.

I... I hadn't really thought about that,

but I'll... I'll figure it out.

Wow. I was... was not expecting that.

Ahem. And, uh, you're there

with Will and the boys.

You run the flower
shop on Hickory Street.

It's this cute, little
street in a tiny town

in the middle of nowhere,

and Rossi's there.

He runs a saloon, which he lives above,

and Garcia has a sanctuary
for wounded animals.

Rossi: May I interest
anyone in a beverage?

Wow. That's timing.

So, uh, Dave, in another life,

what would you be?

Oh, that's easy. A boxer.

Jareau: Hmm.

In fact, there was a
time I was having dinner

with Muhammad Ali, and we
were having a discussion

just on this subject...

Roads taken or not taken in this life.

And what did he say?

I don't quite remember because
I was drinking for the two of us,

and it was the best scotch I'd ever had,

and that's saying... A lot.

So to paths not taken.

To paths not taken.

[Doorbell rings]

Mendoza: Get the stove, all right?

You know daddy likes to burn stuff.

Hi.

I thought you left.

The team did,

but, uh, I wasn't ready to go.

In fact, I was hoping we
could have dinner tonight.

Uh, well, my daughter and
I are just about to eat.

Oh, of course. I... I'm sorry.

I didn't mean to intrude.

Hey.

I'd love it if you'd join us.

Heh. I would love to.

Thank you.

[Mendoza sighs]

Keely, this is Emily.

Emily, this is Keely.

Hi. I have heard so much about you.

And I've heard so much about you.

You did not oversell it, Dad.

- Keely.
- Dad.

Oh! Ha ha ha!

Uh, I would actually really like to hear

more about that.

What exactly did your dad not oversell?

Maybe we should compare notes.

I like her.

Maybe we shouldn't compare
notes. How about that?

No. I think that's
actually a perfect idea.

Here you go. There we are.

Prentiss, voice-over: "We
must be willing to let go"

"of the life we've planned

so as to have the life
that is waiting for us."

Joseph Campbell.

The fact that he said
you're absolutely gorgeous.
