Criminal Minds Season4 signature, m. waves of romany populations entering the area. o. - romany? - gypsies. , pathology. as in \"gypsies, tramps, and thieves\"? exactly. what are you getting at? we're working a case oh, bless you all for turning my life into a cher where a family is grooming their son to kill. song. they're not just murdering people. you're the best. they're stealing children, poisoning minds. you need to get your men together right now. where's the horror? we can't do this job if we let it why is that? 'cause whatever ritual these people get to us. are trying to play out, we know cate hale didn't fit exactly. their needs. derek. which means they'll have to try again. is it a match? which means the rv park owner was it's too soon. right. he turns 10 in a week. they spread it on purpose. it's not safe. so everything they do is part of some ritual. you see one you like? she's a fine choice. have you ever seen anything like this before? a the unsubs we're looking for are a family. family that ritualizes killing together? definitely a father, a mother, and a son, approximately 10 not. years old. you know, if the family speaks romanian, the we believe they're of romanian descent. spreading of the glass makes sense. the family travels in an rv, but they also have it's an eastern european superstition for good another vehicle that they use to go back and forth luck. between campsites and cities. so they're romanian. we need you to call every rv park in the area. we already knew that. alert the owners to be on the lookout for a family not just romanian. that fits this description, as well as a campsite that we're talking about people that are highly might have broken glass scattered around. superstitious and obsessed with ritual. the breaking of the glass and the discarding of romany. cate hale because of her epilepsy leads us to - romany? - gypsies. believe that these are highly superstitious people more accurately, someone who has perverted and that they are playing out a very specific ritual. romany culture. the focus of this ritual is the young girls. call garcia. do we know why? no. they're tight-knit and nomadic like our unsubs, but but we do know from the location of cate hale's not usually prone to violence. house that they don't come across these girls by hiya, baby. accident. hey, baby girl, we need to talk. they study. pg or nc-17? you're on speakerphone. they hunt. i charge extra for groups. cate's father said that she liked to go to the we need you to run through crimes similar to the movies at their local multiplex. hale murders in the last 2 years. that's a good place to start. oh, i already did that. also look at the parks, malls. zip. concentrate on those that are an easy drive from go back even further, garcia. the rv parks you locate. cross-reference against any small towns that this family is out there and they're looking for their have had reports of petty theft associated with next victim. 127

Criminal Minds Season4 you guys need to see this right now. you, at a certain point, other cases would just excuse us. start taking priority. what's going on? garcia, you still there? present. so what are they doing with these girls? yeah, explain what you got. what do you got, baby girl? are you sitting down? ok, i went ahead and went further back looking for MATCH FOUND you're not gonna believe this. similar cases and i made the search national. what's wrong? i think i know what they were doing all these are hits? yeah. with the girls. there's 30 of them. garcia got a hit on a hair fiber in the blanket the they go as far back as 1909. unsubs used to wrap cate hale. rapid city, south dakota, taos, new mexico, gary, so what's the problem? it belonged to kathy gray. indiana. why does that name sound familiar? she went my map is lit up like a christmas tree. missing in 1971 after her parents were murdered. all these girls were abducted and had their so you're telling me this little girl is now one of our parents killed? the time between the kills was unsubs? that's what it looks like. long enough and the regions of the country so call hotch. spread out that it never showed up as serial. tell him and prentiss not to come here and to what the hell is this? i don't know, but it looks like meet us at the station. it's been going on for generations. you ok? yeah. MADISON, ALABAMA reid and i will check inside. i just need to build a thicker skin. we've doubled our highway patrol shifts and you don't need to do anything you don't want to. we've got roadblocks at every county line. you understand? so these little girls got abducted is there a picture on the wire? i pulled one out of and later kidnapped other girls and killed their her bedroom myself. families? i think that's why these unsubs pick girls they're bound to have hours on us. the same age as the boy. they didn't travel that far last time. what do you mean? they're making wives. the past killings have been years apart. it's ok. we got lucky with cate hale. i know what you're going through. her epilepsy saved her life. i understand. if this new girl fits the unsub's need, we might i really do. have lost our window to catch them for years. come here. this is what i don't get. i'm going to take this off you now. in both this house and the hales' house the girls' ok? come here. bedrooms were closest to the exit. i want my mommy. i mean, the unsubs actually had to go out of their no, no, no, everything's ok. way to kill the parents before abducting the girls. you're a part of something now. i think it was a countermeasure. i was just like you. what do you mean? they've been doing this for a working theory from 1971 was that a transient years and they've never been caught. killed the family and abducted kathy gray. why? they disappear in the dead of night, they then all the leads went cold. have a head start on the cops, and they don't kill how do you watch your family get murdered and again for years. then make a life with the people who did it? it's exactly. stockholm syndrome. when i was a cop, i would get 10 calls a day from you adapt or die. parents in child abductions. and now she's training her son to be a murderer. now, as sad as that is, if the families didn't stay on at a certain point, once traditions are handed 128

Criminal Minds Season4 down generation after generation, there is no right police and the fbi. or wrong. they had to. you simply accept the way the world works. they can't deviate. the romany are a closed society. we also know that they're starting over. the unsub simply twisted and distorted traditions which means they're gonna need some money. to become entirely insular. where's the closest shopping mall? about 15 abduction the children keeps the bloodline pure, miles from here. getting the parents we got a report of an rv on fire hey, hotch, we know where they're going. about 20 miles from here. focus on the high-end department stores. dave, you, reid, and morgan go check it out. they're bigger targets. garcia, i need you to digitally alter kathy gray's CRIME ALERT NOTIFICATION SUSPECT photograph to simulate what she would look like WANTED FOR QUESTIONING mom. today. is this you? ma'am! hold it! police! set those bags consider it simulated. down, right now. thanks. kathy gray! take that woman! i said put the bags it was started less than an hour ago, so they can't down. be far. cuff her. it looks like they left almost everything. let's go. the got the girl they wanted. what's wrong? they've been stealing for years and they're starting over. they never get caught. look at the clothes. this was too easy. most of them still have the store sensors on them. kathy, i can't help you if you're not going to be so how'd they get them past security scanners? - honest with me. tinfoil. i already told you, i killed them. - excuse me? cate hale remembers being locked - all by yourself. in a closet surrounded by clothing and tinfoil. - yes. shoplifters use tinfoil to line their bags and negate - well, i know that's not true. security alarms. - it is. makes sense. how did you do it? how did you abduct a child and a lot of romany make their living as petty thieves. control two adults while you slit their throats? oh, it also explains the bells she heard. come on, you know she's not responsible for this. cate says she remembers hearing the sound of i know we have a string of bodies, and she knows bells, followed directly by the father talking to the where her husband and son are. son. you are the victim here. i think that's probably what the mannequin's for. no, she's not. school of the 7 bells. she killed innocent people. you dress a mannequin, you line a suit with 7 her family was murdered. bells. and now she's killing other people's. if you can pick his pocket without a bell ringing, kathy, this is not your fault. you're ready to work a crowd. my name isn't kathy. so we know how they make their money. it's sylvia. that's not all we know. no, it isn't. these unsubs are guided entirely by ritual. your name is kathy gray. they abducted lynn robillard and killed her family and you were a beautiful little girl. in an area that they knew was surrounded by your mom and dad were murdered and you were 129
