13x20 - All You Can Eat

[bunniefuu]

"African capital on its own river.

" Nairobi.

Hey, hon.

How'd it go?

Well, we b*at the Ballbarians two games to one, though with no help from me.

What happened?

I don't know.

The ball felt like it weighed about 100 pounds, and...

And then I started getting a splitting headache around the fifth frame.

You do like a little under the weather.

Let me get you something.

[Breathing heavily]

Woman: We're supposed to drive to Richmond this weekend to visit your mother.

Lord help us if you get her sick.

[Groaning, gurgling]

Clayton?

Clayton?

[Screaming]

Clayton!

Aah!

Simmons: I think something d*ed in here.

When's the last time this thing was cleaned?

Well, let's just say I wouldn't be surprised if you found a lunch bag with Hoover's initials on it.

[Chuckles]

Is Garcia still heading to California today?

JJ: Yeah.

Her mind's made up.

What's going on?

Uh, Garcia's flying to San Francisco for a parole hearing at San Quentin.

When she was 18, her mom and step-dad were k*lled by a drunk driver.

Oh, I didn't know.

The driver got 25 years for vehicular homicide.

He's been behind bars for the last 20.

So she's going to give a victim impact statement before the board?

No.

One of her stepbrothers is.

No, she's never gone to any of the hearings before.

[Knocks]

Hey, I thought you'd be halfway to the airport by now.

My chariot awaits.

And by chariot, I mean Lyft driver named Chuck.

Just letting you know that the tablets and the files are at the ready.

I just need you to press play on the bip-bee.

The bip-bee?

That's what I call the remote, the bip-bee.

Ah, right.

Thank you.

And thank you for giving me the time off.

I know it's really busy right now, and, you know, boy wonder off doing his thingamajig.

Reid's mandatory FBI-required sabbatical.

Yeah.

And a super icky case.

Listen, don't worry about us.

I know how important this is to you and your family.

Carlos is determined that Jesse Wilson serve out his whole sentence.

Carlos is the youngest of your stepbrothers?

Yeah.

He was 13 when it happened.

Are you sure you're gonna be ok out there?

Yeah.

I'm staying with Carlos at the house, and then I'll be working remotely with you guys here, my family here.

About that, it's not too late.

We can get a temp.

Pish posh.

I'm nothing if not the queen of multi-tasking in the kingdom of taking care of business.

Sure.

Ok, well, have a safe flight.

Ok.

Prentiss: The CDC needs our help.

Garcia will be taking some personal time, but she will work her magic from the West coast.

Last night, Clayton Osborne, 45, of Arlington, Virginia, d*ed after spontaneously bleeding out.

He lost nearly 50% of his total blood volume.

This comes just 24 hours after Serena Logan, 35, a loan officer at a bank, also d*ed from massive blood loss.

What could cause abnormal bleeding like this?

Lewis: A viral hemorrhagic fever, like Ebola, or perhaps exposure to some type of chemical.

Well, if the CDC's calling us, they must suspect bioterrorism.

They didn't want to speculate, but we can't rule that out.

Well, biological weapons have been called the poor man's atom b*mb.

I mean, the unsub could have weaponized some sort of virus or bacteria or toxin.

Lewis: Whatever it is, we don't know if these victims inhaled, ingested, or handled it.

Rossi: Besides the obvious, I can see why the CDC is nervous.

Last night's victim was a civilian analyst for the defense intelligence agency.

Yeah.

The DIA assesses m*llitary intelligence information for the joint chiefs, the secretary of defense, and even the White House.

JJ: Were these two targeted or just random victims?

Prentiss: All we know is we have two highly unusual deaths in just two days.

JJ, Dave, the CDC is sending a team from its epidemic intelligence service to the Osborne house.

Go see what they can tell us.

In the meantime, we will be working this case from our own backyard.

Prentiss: "Holding on to anger is like drinking poison and expecting the other person to die." Anonymous.

Lewis: Ok, the first victim, Serena Logan, got divorced, moved to Virginia from Florida two years ago for a job with South Way Bank.

Simmons: She was active in the community, volunteered at a number of charities.

Serena was high profile, but she lived a low-risk lifestyle.

Clayton Osborne, born and raised in Arlington.

He and his wife Beth were married for 19 years.

They have one son who's a freshman at Rowan University in New Jersey.

Clayton had the highest government security clearance at the DIA.

We need to find out what projects he was working on.

It looks like there is some overlap between victims.

Clayton and his wife were customers at the bank branch where Serena worked.

If Serena and Clayton met, it's possible they could have been having an affair.

Well, if that's true, maybe the wife found out and took matters into her own hands.

Prentiss: Poisoning is typically a female M.O.

Beth Osborne's being quarantined for observation in the hospital.

Yeah, if it isn't a scorned wife, it could be a violent ex-husband.

I mean, Serena and her ex, um, David Logan, they went through a nasty divorce.

Yeah, she moved north right after that.

And lookee here.

David moved to Arlington just last month.

Well, he could have found a way to poison his ex and Clayton.

Prentiss: Matt, see if you can track down Serena's ex.

Tara, Luke, talk to the M.E.

I'm going to call the hospital.

We need to speak with Beth Osborne.

Let them through.

I'm Sara Freeman with the EIS.

Agents Rossi and Jareau.

Any idea what we're dealing with?

Well, we're taking air samples, bagging all food and medicine, toiletries, cleaning supplies.

JJ: Could it be Ebola?

Serena Logan and Clayton Osborne had all the symptoms.

They did.

But their risk was virtually non-existent.

Neither of them had been out of the country in the past year.

What else would cause that?

Well, there are 3 types of biological weapons.

First there's bacteria, like anthr*x, salmonella, or the plague.

And then there are viruses, like Ebola and smallpox, although smallpox only exists in laboratories.

And then finally, toxins, like botulinum or ricin.

[Cell phone ringing]

Virulent strains of all 3 weapons could cause massive sickness and death.

Freeman.

You have confirmation?

Thanks.

Tests were conducted on blood samples taken from the victims and Mrs.

Osborne.

They came back negative.

Meaning it's not Ebola.

Whoever's doing this is using a non-contagious w*apon.

Man: Officer Freeman, you have a second?

Eh, excuse me.

Over here...

A non-contagious w*apon that makes its victims bleed to death.

It's not on my radar.

Maybe Tara or Luke will get lucky with the M.E.

COD for both victims was multiple organ failure caused by catastrophic internal bleeding.

My exam showed they both consumed some type of anticoagulant.

Lewis: Were either of them on blood thinners?

Weiss: Not Ms.

Logan, but Mr.

Osborne was on a daily aspirin regime.

Unless there's an underlying medical issue, baby aspirin wouldn't cause this kind of massive blood loss.

Weiss: No, it would not.

Other than in medicines, anticoagulants are found in rodenticides.

Couldn't one of those have done this?

Not could.

It did.

Rat poison.

It was among their stomach contents.

Consuming rat poison would be an extremely painful way to die.

Our unsub wants his victims to suffer.

I'm going to text Garcia, see if she can check sales of it in the area.

How fast-acting is rat poison?

Most today contain so-called super-warfarins.

Super anticoagulants, if you will.

Without treatment, the window of death can vary from a few days to just a few hours.

Beth: There was blood everywhere.

I still can't believe it.

Mrs.

Osborne, did your husband have an argument with anyone recently?

Any enemies?

For the past 5 years, Clayton walked around with a haircut he hated.

He didn't want to be disloyal or upset his barber by switching to a new one.

Did he ever talk about the projects he was working on for the DIA?

He didn't say much.

He couldn't, really, since most of it was top-secret, but...

But that was Clay.

He was the most honest and ethical man you would ever meet.

Did he ever mention any unusual or unethical activity going on?

No.

Does the FBI think his work had something to do with it?

We need to check everything.

Like his daily routine.

Did he have one?

Every weekday morning, he'd eat breakfast at a cafe by our home.

He'd work from 8:00 to 6:00, then home for dinner at 6:30.

Except Tuesdays, his bowling night.

Does the name Serena Logan mean anything to you?

Serena Logan.

I'm sorry.

Should it?

No.

I'm sorry.

I have to meet our son Kevin.

He's driving down from school.

Of course.

How do I explain it?

How do I explain what happened to his father?

Why would someone do this to him?

We're gonna find out.

Hey, thanks for picking me up at the airport.

Anything for my favorite sister.

Oh, that is very sweet.

I'm also your only sister.

Ha ha!

Yep.

Oh, I saw that the Bowmans painted their house down the street.

I...

I loved that lime green, but it does look nice.

The Bowmans moved.

There's a young couple with their baby in there right now.

They moved?

Where'd they move?

Assisted living, probably.

The Bowmans were like a thousand years old when me and you were kids.

Yeah, you're gonna have to come back more often if you want to keep up.

I know.

I'm sorry.

I'm kidding.

Look, you're busy, and you have a super cool and important job, and I get it.

It is kind of magnificent.

Yeah, and everybody's really proud of you.

I know Mom and Dad would be, too.

If only they could see you now.

[Exhales]

Are you still installing pools?

Nah.

I opened up my own business.

"Carlos Garcia, professional house painter." The Bowmans?

You said it looked nice.

It does look nice!

It does look nice, right?

Ohh!

So glad you came, Sis.

Yeah.

We can't let that son of a bitch get out of prison early.

Yeah.

Right.

I'm gonna take these up for you.

Oh, hey.

Thank you for the flowers.

I never remember to do that.

Flowers?

The tulips at the cemetery.

I always visit Mom and Dad's grave on the anniversary of their passing, and, um, without fail every year, your flowers are there.

Carlos, I don't...

[Cell phone ringing]

Ah, it's work.

It's ok.

Garcia ready, willing, and able.

Hey.

It's JJ and Luke.

How was your flight?

It was great.

It was smooth.

They gave us cookies.

It's how I wish the world was.

Garcia, did you get my text about rodenticide sales?

Yes.

I did some digital digging from 38,000 feet.

It is amazing what a hot-ticket item rat poison is.

But without any more parameters, nothing else is standing out.

Ok.

Thanks.

Oh, uh, hey, hold on a sec.

Hey.

Any big plans tonight?

Yeah.

I'm gonna go to dinner with my stepbrothers on the embarcadero.

Oh, that sounds fun.

Look, we're all thinking of you, ok?

If you need anything...

Yeah, I know.

Thank you.

Ok.

Oh, and, of course, we will call you if we need more digging.

All right.

My shovel is your shovel.

Bye.

[Cell phone rings]

Seriously?

You guys are proving my theory that you cannot live without me.

Who is this?

No, we have nothing to talk about.

Do not call this number ever again.

Well, we can cross Serena's ex off our suspect list.

His alibi checks out.

Prentiss: Guys, my gut is telling me this is not bioterrorism being conducted by an organized group.

The use of rat poison is just too low tech for them.

Well, t*rrorists often use low-tech methods...

I mean, like driving trucks into crowds.

True, but their goal is to target as many people as they can with one action.

Plus, no group has claimed credit for this, and we all know how t*rrorists love to be on the world's stage.

Well, this unsub's either unsophisticated or he knows he can buy rat poison anywhere.

Either way, something must have triggered him to start using it now.

Prentiss: Ok, until we know what, let's look at why he's using it.

Like you said, it's easy to get, and it can be controlled.

Alvez: You can conceal it in a lot of things, and it often tastes sweet in order to attract the rats.

Simmons: It also provides a non-proximity k*lling, which means he could be socially awkward, unable to confront his victims.

You know, the window of death might be influencing his choice, too.

I mean, the longer that it takes for his victims to die, the longer they suffer.

This sadistic element leans towards the unsub being a male.

Yeah, but wouldn't a sadist want to witness the suffering he's causing?

He has no way of knowing exactly when or where his victims fall ill, so he's probably just getting off knowing that they are.

And being a sadist, he's not gonna stop after two victims.

With each one, he's gaining confidence, satisfaction.

His ego needs to be fed, which means he will need to increase his body count and soon.

Hello, everyone.

I'm Pam Chapman.

[Applause]

And I am so pleased to welcome you all here today.

Our mission at the Arlington business league is simple: To help your businesses succeed and thrive.

Together we can strengthen not only your bottom line but the economic environment for all those who live and work in our city.

Now, please, help yourself to some food, get those business cards out, and have fun.

k*lling with poison requires premeditation.

It usually involves some type of ruse.

Well, the unsub must have stalked Serena and Clayton to learn their routines.

But how did he pick them in the first place, and why?

He must have a k*ll list that makes sense to him.

But since we know the victims were somehow fed rat poison, we need to track everything they ate or drank in their last days.

Where they ate it, who served them.

It's gonna take some time.

Let's get on it.

Yeah.

Well, if you're having permit problems, you should really talk to Bill Packer down at the zoning board.

Tell him I told you to call.

Aah!

[Crowd murmuring]

Oh, my god!

Oh, my god!

Ohh!

Ms.

Chapman, we'll need the RSVP list and the names of all your staff working the event.

Of course.

Walk-ins are welcome, too.

They're supposed to sign in.

Did you happen to notice anyone who looked suspicious or maybe didn't belong?

No.

No, everyone seemed to be having a good time.

Where did the food come from?

We pick a different restaurant each time to support our local merchants.

Simmons: What about tonight?

It was a new place.

Just opened.

I was talking to the owner...

[Crying]

I'm sorry.

Rossi: We understand.

Thank you for your time.

The unsub would have needed access to the food and the punch.

He might work for the caterer, or he could have posed as a server.

He could have been a walk-in or one of the surviving attendees.

It'd be risky behavior to poison out in the open with so many potential witnesses.

He couldn't have predicted which one of the members was going to consume what he poisoned.

So his victims went from targeted to random or victims of opportunity.

Maybe it's not the victims themselves...

But what they represent.

The unsub we're looking for is hoping to inflict as much fear and damage as possible in Arlington's business community.

These victims and their businesses symbolize wealth, success, growth, and development...

All things he may feel are out of his reach.

Lewis: He derives pleasure in knowing that his victims are experiencing a cruel and painful death and that his crimes may create widespread panic.

We call this ripple effect terrorism, and examples of it would be the Tylenol tampering case in the eighties or the anthr*x-laced letters post 9/11.

JJ: Those who poison tend to be non-confrontational, bottling up inside what they deem to be injustices.

They use these imagined slights as justification to harm their victims.

Lacking empathy with an exaggerated sense of entitlement, a poisoner cares only about their own wants or needs, which would explain the indifferent and heartless nature of these crimes.

Poisoners believe their calculated plans, their cleverness allow them to k*ll and walk away.

So far, he's been able to do that.

Alvez: The unsub uses food as a method to mask the rat poisoning.

He might be comfortable doing this because he works in the food industry.

There's no indication he'll stop, and his next target could be even larger.

A food festival, a supermarket, a school cafeteria.

JJ: We'll be issuing a release to the media urging all eateries and bars to closely monitor their food.

Customers will be reminded not to leave their food or drinks unattended or consume anything they're unsure about.

And the antidote to rat poison is phytonadione, but it needs to be administered immediately by medical personnel.

Prentiss: As a precautionary measure, all area hospitals clinics, and EMTs should make sure to have ample supplies on hand.

Thank you, all.

Woman: Bye, Penelope.

[Car recedes]

What's going on?

Nothing.

Uh, nothing, Carlos.

Go back to bed.

[Police radio transmissions]

Yes?

Are you Penelope Garcia?

Colette?

Mind if I sit?

I was surprised you called back and wanted to meet.

You said we didn't have anything to talk about.

Yeah, I did.

And then I called Saint Paul's cemetery, and they told me that you've been sending flowers to my parents' grave all these years.

It's not from me.

They're from my brother Jesse.

What?

He can't do it, so I handle it for him.

He pays for them with the money he earns in prison.

Why is he doing that?

Jesse's sorry for what he did.

He didn't mean to k*ll your parents.

It was an accident.

No.

That's not what an accident is.

He chose to drink, and then he chose to drive, and he changed my life forever.

He was just a kid.

He was only 18.

Yeah, I was only 18, too.

Didn't you ever do anything stupid when you were younger?

Like make a bad decision or take a dumb risk that you later regretted?

All I ask is that you talk to Jesse before you pass judgment.

Please, can you find it in your heart to forgive him?

Won't you give Jesse a chance to start his life again?

When are my parents going to be able to start their lives again?

So everyone connected to the business league event checks out.

We are back in the shallow end of our suspect pool, so why att*ck local businesses?

Well, 30% of all businesses fail within the first two years, and maybe the unsub was struggling to stay afloat or had a new business that went belly up.

On the flipside, he could have an older business, one that's been around for years.

He may feel he's being pushed out by the new kids on the block.

Well, k*lling his rivals may be a misguided attempt at revenge.

Working in a commercial loan department, part of Serena Logan's job would be to find and attract new businesses to the area.

Yeah.

What if the unsub applied for a new loan or tried to refinance an existing one, and Serena turned down his application?

Simmons: His anger at being denied could be why he targeted her and other business league members.

I'll head to Serena's bank.

I'll talk to her manager, see what I can find out.

We'll need a list of her clients and all the loans she approved or rejected over the past 6 months.

What is it, Dave?

The loan angle could explain why Serena was k*lled, but there's still the question of Clayton Osborne.

Yeah.

How does an analyst in foreign m*llitary intelligence fit into all this?

There's got to be something about this guy that we're missing.

In the meantime, the ripple effect will dictate the unsub's next move.

He'll want to create more panic by dropping more bodies.

This unsub's going after the business community.

So who's next?

Man: We're sorry for your loss.

Woman: They both worked so hard.

Second woman: That place k*lled them, k*lled them both.

[Indistinct chatter]

Oh, I miss the breakfast burrito at Jenkin's.

I could marry that burrito.

Yeah, it's one of the best.

You ok?

I don't know if I can do it.

I can't read my impact statement.

You're gonna have to do it.

Me?

Why?

Look, I don't know what I'm gonna do when I see Jesse Wilson just sitting a few feet away from me.

Why doesn't Eddie do it, or Manny or Rafe?

They're not coming.

They don't want to be in the same room with him.

I don't know.

I'm a representative of the FBI.

The parole board will think my words hold a lot of weight.

That's what we want, isn't it?

Please.

They're gonna sound so much better coming from you, and I'm just not good at talking in front of people.

Ok.

Show me what you were gonna say.

I'll practice.

Thank you.

You know, after all these years, I still find myself turning it over in my head.

What were our parents doing out so late that night, anyway?

Where were they going?

[Siren pulses]

[Police radio transmissions]

It wasn't even my fault.

The car came out of nowhere.

That's him, isn't it?

I gotta go.

There's something I have to do.

Ok, sure.

Where you going?

I'll take you.

No, that's ok.

I'll explain later.

I love you.

I love you, I love you.

I love you, too.

I'm Penelope Garcia.

Jesse.

That night outside the police station, I was drunk, but I remember you.

Your sister called me.

I told Colette not to.

She asked you to come, didn't she?

No.

I came here because I wanted to.

Because I want to tell you to your face I'm going to your hearing today and I'm telling them you need to stay in prison because of what you did, because of what you took from my family.

I know.

No.

No, you don't know.

You don't...

you have zero clue about what you did.

There is a hole inside of me that nothing can ever fill because of that night, and you've been leaving flowers on my parents' grave.

That is the grave you put them in.

Like anything you could do could make any of this a little bit better.

Y...

you can't.

No.

I can never make up for what I did.

I suppose it's my guilt that makes me send them.

I made a mistake that night because I was stupid.

Everybody makes mistakes, but...

Not like that.

I deserve to be where I am, and this place makes it hard to forget that.

Prison bars are the last thing I see before I close my eyes at night and the first thing I see when I open them.

So this is the part where you say prison has made you a better man and all you need is a chance to prove it?

No.

The only thing I want is a chance to go back to that night, to make a better choice.

We have that in common.

It's not your fault.

You didn't do anything wrong.

It's my fault.

And I know that this doesn't bring your parents back, and it probably won't give you any comfort, but...

I'm truly sorry.

P.A.: Attention, please.

Visiting hours are now over.

Inmates, return to your cells.

I won't send the flowers anymore.

Ok, so these are all the business loan applications that Serena handled over the last 6 months.

And those are the 90 loans she approved, and these are the 30 applications she rejected.

Simmons: Well, did the bank send electronic files, too?

Yeah.

I thought about calling Garcia, but I know that she's got a big day today with the parole hearing.

Well, it may take the three of us to equal one Garcia, but let's do our own digital dig.

Well, I'm not seeing any restaurants, diners, or cafes in the loan applications denied by Serena.

So, now what?

JJ: Ok, uh, well, Rossi thought that an older, established place might feel like they were being pushed out by newcomers.

Yeah.

An older place might have lost its lease or been foreclosed on, but Serena didn't handle foreclosures.

Well, we can try searching for business foreclosures in Arlington over the last 6 months.

[Beeping]

Ok, I've got 29 foreclosures.

Any restaurants?

Uh...

Yeah.

12.

Ok, and one was foreclosed on after nearly 30 years in business.

Looks like it was a mom and pop-type restaurant called Henshaw's.

Simmons: Harrison and Maureen Henshaw were the owners.

Their son mark worked there as well.

Mom and Dad seemed like good people.

Really cared about their customers, and they always had a hot meal for anyone down on their luck.

They even personally delivered soup to sick patrons.

Simmons: Where are the Henshaws now?

Ok, Mom, Maureen, d*ed.

She had a stroke last year, and two weeks ago, the dad suffered a fatal heart att*ck.

Alvez: Now, Mark's hand was badly b*rned in a kitchen accident at the restaurant.

Henshaw's restaurant may be out of business, but Mark's still buying rat poison.

The foreclosure on the family business and his father's recent death, I mean, that must have triggered the killings.

JJ: And Mark probably felt betrayed when customers stopped going to his parents' restaurant and started going to the new places in town.

Is it possible Clayton Osborne ate at Henshaw's?

Uh...

He did.

He wrote a negative review that went viral.

All right.

I got an address for Mark Henshaw.

FBI!

Clear.

Clear.

Clear.

Guys, I've got something.

The house is clear.

Alvez: Take a look at this.

He's planning something big.

This could be his endgame.

[Indistinct chatter]

All right, people, listen up!

I don't know all your names and faces, but I'll learn 'em.

We got a lot of hungry folks about to come through those doors, so I need you to bring your A-game today.

And, remember, a happy customer is a returning customer.

Let's go!

[Employees clapping]

There have got to be thousands of places to eat in Arlington, so which one is Mark Henshaw planning to target?

Henshaw's restaurant was in a prime location.

What's there now?

Ok, a new restaurant, an all-you-can-eat place called The Good Eatin' Buffet.

Wait a minute.

I remember that name.

Serena Logan approved their new business loan.

All right.

The Henshaws' original space was expanded.

It now seats 200, and the grand opening is today at noon.

That's in 10 minutes.

We need to get medical personnel there right now.

Hey.

They need you over at the dessert station.

But I was told to do salads.

You want to ask the boss?

No.

That's ok.

[Sirens]

Prentiss: JJ, Matt, take the back.

Alvez, you're with us.

It helps keep the food fresh.

Man: Man, I love this place.

The stuff looks good, right?

Rossi: FBI!

Everyone stop what you're doing we need you all to go outside with us right now!

Manager: What are you doing?

Prentiss: We need to shut everything down.

The food's been poisoned.

Luke, there.

[Indistinct chatter in next room]

Alvez: Mark Henshaw, you're under arrest.

Commissioner: Ms.

Garcia, we understand you'd like to make a statement for the record.

Go get 'em, Sis.

Hello.

My name is Penelope Garcia.

I'm a technical analyst at the FBI.

Thank you for giving me the opportunity to speak in front of you today.

I want the full impact of Jesse Wilson's crime to be brought to your attention.

When I was 18, my mother and stepfather, Barbara and Emilio Garcia, were k*lled by Mr.

Wilson's careless and selfish deeds.

It was the worst day of my family's life.

It was the worst day of my life.

And we will never stop missing them.

But...

Mourning the lives that might have been won't bring them back.

And neither will keeping Jesse Wilson behind bars.

Carlos: Penelope, what are you doing?

Commissioner: Quiet, please, or you'll be removed.

Ever since that night, I've had this cloud of...

Rage and pain and guilt, and I couldn't bear it, and I needed a place to focus it, and I focused that whole cloud on Jesse.

I needed to demonize you.

I'm so scared to see you as a real person, because if you're not the monster in prison, then who do I have to blame?

My parents taught us that a big part of love is forgiveness.

Jesse has told me he's sorry for what he's done, and I do believe him.

I will never forget the past.

But moving on is important, too.

It is, and...

And that's why I am here before you today, asking that the board forgive Jesse, as I have, and grant him parole.

Thank you.

We'll now recess for deliberation.

Carlos.

Carlos.

Thank you.

Carlos, wait.

Carlos, you know this is what Mom and Dad would have wanted.

No!

Yes.

No!

Ok, look, that night...

The reason why they were out that night...

Driving so late...

is because of me.

I missed my curfew.

They went out looking.

They left me a note, but...

None of this would have happened if it wasn't for my bad choices.

Carlos, talk to me.

Talk to you?

I can't even look at you.

Alvez: Does anyone know how Garcia made out at the parole board hearing.

Yeah.

She called.

It seems she petitioned the board to release Jesse Wilson.

Simmons: I wonder what changed her mind.

Forgiveness.

Rossi: That sounds like the Penelope we all know and love.

JJ: Absolutely.

So, we'll see her tomorrow.

Prentiss: No.

She asked for another day.

She said there was something she needed to do.

Hi, Mom.

Hi, Pop.

Mom, I brought your favorite flowers.

I'm sure you're both wondering why you haven't seen me in a while.

Who are we kidding?

I've never come here to visit you.

The night that you d*ed, I saw that note you left me, and I knew that you were disappointed in me, and I knew I was in really big trouble.

And I...

I wished that you didn't come home.

And then you didn't come home.

And it was like that awful wish made it happen.

And I am so ashamed that I did that.

I do feel like I live my life in a way now that you would be really proud of me.

I hope you're really proud of me.

I made a choice yesterday that I think was really good.

But I messed things up pretty bad with Carlos.

But it was a good choice, and, um...

And I know how to make things better.

I'm good at making things better.

I just need a little time.

I'll make things better with him.

I thought since it was such a glorious day that we would have a picnic.

I'm thinking about doing a technology fast...
