captioning made possible by touchstone television productions, llc and cbs kind of scary, huh? what? the trees. they kind of look like those hooded creatures in the movie, don't they? did you like the movie? i told you i did. no, you said, "enh." enh is exactly halfway between yeah and nah. that's the kind of answer i would tell my students is ambiguous. was that your intent? more or less. oh, bud, i know it's tough on you, but hey, look, on the bright side, you know, every other week we get to stay up late, eat junk food and go see movies your mom would never let you see in a million years.

what are you doing? you didn't see that deer? no. where? it's gone now. wow. must've run away. whatever. [tire flapping] oh, no. what? ohh, it's a flat. we must've blown a tire driving on the shoulder. i'll be right back. maybe we should call someone. it's a flat tire. despite what your mom says, i'm not completely useles i'll be right back.

[whoosh] hello?! what is it, dad? nothing. it's just the-- it's just the wind, eric. get back in the car. [rustling] [clang] it's all right, it's all right, it's all right. just me. just clumsy me. it's all right.

wait. there might be another one. i need an ambulance! a state trooper took this before the paramedics showed up. he's unconscious, has 4 broken bones. he's going to be in the hospital for a month. [slams fists] i didn't hurt my son! do you remember removing the tire iron from the trunk? no. ! what's e last thing you remember? i picked eric up from school friday for the weekend. what day is this? this happened 2 days ago in beachwood, new jersey. mr. fisher had ingested lsd one afternoon and didn't come down until 18 hours later. the hospital reported 6 other patients who had ingested lsd in the last 24 hours.

the hospital called the cdc and the cdc called u so a bunch of people got spiked. what makes it a bau case? they each received 10 to 20 times the normal dose. reid: it's enough to kill a small child. or cause a grown man to kill one with a tire iron. of the 7 victims, there was one death and one coma. this is from the hospital security footage the same night fisher lost it. these people didn't get spiked. these people were poisoned.

[ roseanne ] now my front hurts. gideon: roman philosopher lucretious wrote, "what is food to one is to others bitter poison."

of the 7 victims, gail norman was the only death. she was 78. ran out in the middle of the road and was hit by a car. she was doa. the other potentially fatal case is 9-year-old britney cannon. she fell out of a tree house and fractured her skull. she's in a coma and the doctors don't know if she's going to come out of it. how do you want to handle the press? we still don't even know how these people got dosed. i think it would be irresponsible to issue a warning without specifics. it'll just cause panic. i did notify the local p.d. though to be discreet. how is it possible that none of these people knew how they got poisoned? none of them remembers anything about the day it happened. these people are so messed up, it's made it difficult for local p.d. to retrace the victims' steps. gideon: so we need to go on precedent. we know there are 4 types of poisoners who target multiple victims. there's the true believer-- the political terrorist/ religious cult. there's the extortionist, a product tamperer who holds a business hostage in exchange for money. or the prankster, usually a younger offender who doesn't mean any harm and it's basically a big practical joke. and the avenger,

someone with a personal vendetta who chooses poison as their weapon. gideon: we need to find out as quickly as possible which type he is, because with the exception of the prankster, all these types commonly test their poison on a small scale before carrying out a larger attack. well, let's hope that this was just a prank. i suggest we split up the victims, see if there's a pattern of the victimology. most of them are still in the hospital. i'll call local p.d. to meet us there. i'll check the lab reports. maybe there's a clue to the unsub's motive in the specific nature of the the poison he used. i can't imagine anybody could want this to happen. detective hanover, beachwood p.d. agent hotchner. this is agent gideon. thanks for coming out on such short notice. doctor said he may have permanent brain damage. i've never seen anything like this. well, let's hope we can help him. have you had a cnce to review the victims' files? we're especially interested in talking to the boy's father. we'd like to get a sense of why he turned violent.

while the lab analyzes the specific nature of the lsd he was dosed with, we'd like to get our own sense-- was it the drug itself or was there somhing else going on? hopefully that can give us a little bit of a window into the motive of the offender. well, he's in the psych ward. we'll keep it short. mr. fisher? shrink or cop? i'm an fbi profiler, so i guess i'm a little of each. i'm jason gideon. [sighs deeply] i can't imagine what you've been through. i understand you recently divorced your wife. can you tell me why? what do you want to know? was i angry about the divorce? i mean, was i so angry that i wanted to hurt my son to get bacat her? is that what you want to know? were you? let me tell you something about my wife, ok? about what she did. in my house. in my bed. with the investment banker next door.

[breathing hard] but you want to know what the worst part is? my son eric... is angry with me. she's the cheater... [crying] and he's angry at me. me. what did you do? did you want to hurt her? of course. and the kid. i mean, it's her kid, right? he takes her side. you crush him, too. you want to shut his obnoxious little mouth up for good. no! no. he doesn't understand. he took her side. i'm sure it's not the first time he's done that. eric. oh. why did this happen to you? why did this happen to you? why?! why?! why? why? eric! why?! well, he's raw, broken and seriously pissed off. but he didn't hurt the son to get back at the mother.

not consciously, no. rage was real but understandable, and he never apologized. when he lost control he didn't even say, "eric, i'm sorry. he said, "eric, why did this happen to you?" he never even confessed to hurting the kid. so the drugs tapped into the rage but didn't cause it? that's my guess. that's consistent with information we just received from the lab tox screens. they didn't find anyrace of pcp or any other drug indicating the unsub was intentionally trying to make people violent, but they did find traces of rohypnol in all the victims. a central nervous system depressant similar to valium, only 10 times more potent. it's commonly known as a roofie or a date rape drug. right. and one of its side effects is amnesia, which explains why none of the victims remember how they were poisoned. we compared notes on the victims we talked to. so far there doesn't seem to be any pattern as to who got hit. maybe the drugs themselves a lot of kids are using lsd and rohypnole these days.h. fisher's a high school teacher. so it may be a prank after all. yeah, one that went horribly wrong. i'm gonna get a list of students from fisher.

danny? a busboy, high school kid. a lot of his friends come in here. his girlfriend was here saturday night. is he here today? he was supposed to come to work after school, but he called in sick. what's his last name? wallace. i'll have elle check the school. hotch, i checked the high school and wallace's house. he wasn't there. so now i'm at his girlfriend's house. ok. i'll call you back. [ding-dong] samantha? yeah. i'm with the fbi. can i talk to you for a minute? where are your parents? working. what do you want? well, you didn't go to school today, samantha. neither did your boyfriend. i'm sick.

can i ask you something personal? i think that something might have happened to you. you want to tell me about it? i don't know. i don't remember. what do you remember? he took me someplace. on his motorcycle. i--i remember... waking up. i--i was naked. i was all beat up. and--and he was there. above me... holding me down. who was? danny. [phone rings] i called the doctor earlier. that could be her. hello. boy: samantha, listen to me. don't hang up! do you hear me? samantha!

what do you want? someone's there. who did you call? why do you think someone's here? don't mess with me. don't do it. ifou say anything... [click] he hung up. come with me. call 911. as soon as i leave, you lock the door behind me. he's near his girlfriend's house. uh, hillcrest at maple and-- i can't see another cross street. yeah. ok. [motorcycle engine starts] danny wallace! stop! fbi! put your hands on top of your head. off the bike! on your head.

this isn't what you had in mind when you skipped school today, is it, danny? you want to tells about saturday night, danny? i didn't do anything. samantha doesn't know what she's talking about. a lot of people saw you together at the cafe on saturday night. what did you decide to do, danny, dose the common milk so that nobody would know that you just wanted to roofie your girlfriend? that's not true. sex was an issue in your relationship. she told me about it. she wasn't prepared to give it up, so you decided to take it. no. she had bruises all over her body, danny. you hit her. i didn't mean to. she was freaking out, punching me. she was on something. i was just trying to help her. i was just trying to hold her down. she was hitting you but you still had sex with her? no. hanover: then what, danny? it was after, after we did it. we fell asleep and when she woke up, she was seeing things. what things? look, she was on something,

and if it was acid or whatever, i've taken that. you give that to someone without telling them, it doesn't exactly set the mood. kid is right about that. if he wanted to slip a girl a date rape drug, why did he give her lsd, too? this boy seems too scared not to be telling us the truth. so samantha was just the eighth victim and the boyfriend working at the cafe was just a coincidence. but even so, there may be an explanation why the 2 drugs... lsd to hallucinate, rohypnol to forget. forget what? what they were hallucinating? no. how they got dosed. hotch: the unsub's covering his tracks. it's much too organized for a high sool prank. and there still hasn't been any kind of ransom demand. which rules out the extortionist. or any invisible political group or cult in the area. which rules out the true believer. and leaves us with the avenger. we can give them a profile. we believe whoever poisoned these people was motived by revenge. the randomness of the victimology, average people in an average-sized town, all points to a local resident. we know that people who poison for the purpose of revenge

primarily act alone. however he may have manipulated someone close to him to assist him. the unsub usually disposes of these accomplices when they are of no further use to him. the unsub is likely a cautious, deliberate and highly functioning male between the ages of 35 and 50. he chose lsd for a reason. lsd is about altering perception. we think that this unsub is striking out because he feels that he's been inaccurately perceived by the community or a subset of it. he feels that these attacks will affect and alter a reality that he's caught in, that he perceives to be unjust. he's so self-centered, he believes his victims will know the reason for the attack and who did it. this individual was savvy enough to use rohypnol to obstruct our investigation, erasing the memories of the victims of how they were poisoned. hold on. if this guy believes that his victims know who he is, why is he covering his tracks? because these victims aren't his primary targets. we know from precedent that this kind of offender, the avenger, tests his weapon first. this attack was a test run.

a test run for what? we don't know yet. what we do know is this is not the first time he's aired his grievances. while it's not likely that he has a criminal record, it is possible that he has filed crimal charges or pursued a civil action against his perceived adversaries. and now, to measure the results of this test, he's watching. and he wants to see the results of his test. once he has them, all those years of pent-up rage will be unleashed in the form of a larger attack. the profile indicates a lot of people could die. we had a leak. that's right, steve. neighbors became aware something was wrong when a local beachwood restaurant closed early. from inside sources, we learned that representatives of the cdc began testing food inside the restaurant... if you're going to report the story, name the restaurant. though unconfirmed, we were told that some of the food had apparently been tainted with hallucinogenic drugs. name the restaurant. before we do confirm all of this, we will not release the name of the restaurant. we'll only say it's a beachwood area favorite. this is suzanne whang reporting live from beachwood.

back to you, steve, they didn't name the restaurant. what is it? call the local hospital. make sure they know what's coming. where do your 911 calls get routed to? there's a county phone bank. they contact first responders, the fire department. alert them, too. they're gonna need additional personnel. any other back-up you've got, auxiliary cops, call them. why? because we're going to have a time just calming people down and we really don't need the confusion to interfere with our investigation. you want me to start making those calls? no, no, no. hold it. everybody, please, shut up for a minute! tell me what this is all about.

from local restaurants, but no hallucinations. another poisoning? or maybe more hysteria. we've looked into any civil or criminal complaints from employees, ex-employees, suppliers, regulars at the cafe. not one good lead. there's got to be somebody connected to that cafe who'll pop as a suspect. morgan, want to go back there, see if we can find another angle? couldn't hurt. jj, you and reid go to the hoital. see if any of the poisonings seem legit. ok. i really can't talk right now. we just got hammered. listen, most of these food poisonings are probably psychosomatic. a news broadcast wh makesjust reported a local think threstaurant was poisoned. now, it would be a huge coincidence if there was another poisoning right after that aired. so what do you want me to do? help us figure out which cases, if any, are real. people are coming in with all kinds of complaints, but there's at least one case that isn't psychosomatic. she's barely breathing. can you take us to the doctor that's treating that patient? i'll call hotch.

all right. if you're an avenger, you choose your target for a reason, right? then why haven't we found anyone connected to this cafe who fits the profile? why hasn't the cdc found any trace of the drugs? wait a minute. what if it's not the profile that's wrong, but the target? not this cafe. just because a bunch of victims came to eat here doesn't necessarily mean they get poisoned here. then where? when the patient got here, she couldn't remember anything about her day. her speech was so slurred, i could barely understand her. sounds like rohypnol. did you test her? she was positive for rohypnol, negative for lsd. we're running more tests because rohypnol alone doesn't explain her symptoms. she presented with nausea, difficulty swallowing, and labored breathing. she was also having trouble moving her legs. [coughing] when her breathing got worse, we put her on oxygen. how long has she been sick? she didn't know. i could barely understand her when she first got here.

now she can't speak at all. do you know of biological agents that have similar symptoms--ricin, sarin gas... you think is is a biological attack? can't rule anything out. i'll order a few more tests. no soda machines, t dog stands, water fountains or anything else. you get anything? maybe. there's a bank across the street, first new jersey federal. e of the victims who i talked to said that he went to that bank on the day that he was dosed. how do you get poisoned at a bank? i don't know, but i'd like to take a look at the security tapes. after you. jack fisher. about to have the worst night of his life. that's all of them. every one of the victims who turned up at the e.r. 3 nights ago is on this tape. i'm going to call hanover.

have him bring the cdc guys. they can test the candies. i'll call hotch. morgan, it's hotch. what's up? reid. i think she's trying to say something. the en... the end? she may incoherent from lack of oxygen. it's the en...

play that again. ok. not only was she here, but from one of these tapes, it looks like she was the one replacing the candies. hotch, she could be the unsub. hotch: or working with him. i'll call you back. so what are the chances that she's not poisoned, maybe she just got some bad food? doctor: highly improbable. chances are basically nil. what is the rate of survival? with this dose, without antitoxin? zero. what is it? botulism. nurse: doctor, bp is dropping rapidly. it's sepsis. give another... she's going into defib. she's crashing. get the paddles. arging to 200. clear! nothing. charging to 300. clear! nothing. she's still in defib. start cpr.

lynn dempsey was an executive assistant. she has no expertise with chemicals. she doesn't fit the profile of the unsub. but the cdc found both lsd and rohypnol in theandy she was replacing. she must've been an accomplice. then when the unsub finished using her to further his attack, he killed her with botulism. so what does that tell us about the unsub? he's far more sophisticated than we realized. why is that? botulism toxin is the deadliest substance known to man. it blocks acetylcholine receptors, paralyzing its victims until basically choking you to death. without an antitoxin, a lethal dose would kill you in 36 hours. how many people have access to this stuff? in new jersey, quite a few. it's the pharmaceutical and chemicalapital of the u.s. the toxin can be ordered in the form of botox

through any chemical or biological lab or botox clinic. it has to be purified, but any chemist or lab assistant has that capability. so we're looking for chemists and sophisticated lab assistants? basically. morgan: wait a minute. if the unsub is a chemist with access to the toxin, what did he need dempsey for? well, we don't know yet. but she worked for, uh... she worked for a company called, uh... where'd it go? where'd it go? "hichcock pharmaceuticals." i think there's a good chance the unsub worked there, too. well, let's start with people who fit the profile who've had a recent stressor. like anybody fired from hichcock in the past 6 months. hichcock's a giant company, sugar shack. there were over 100 people fired justhis past year. and so far, none of them fit the profile? garcia: no. but i do have 30 names of people who were down-sized and shunted off to other lame companies with a cut in pay and benefits. all right. send us the names. we'll cross-reference them with civil and criminal complaints filed with local p.d. but i want you to keep digging. while you're at it, look for any connection to the first new jersey federal bank.

i'm on it, angel. our guy's acting like a workplace mass murderer. he'd stay close, seething, and he'd plan his revenge. well, if he is a workplace killer, what else does that tell us about him? for one, they don't give themselves up. he's lost his empathy, his moral compass. he's capable of anything. all those innocent people at the bank. gideon: they meant nothing to him. he'll take out anybody to forward his cause. like dempsey. like dempsey and eveually even himself, not until he finishes taking out his primary targets, though. we have no idea where he's going to strike next. for all we know, he could poison the local reservoir. local cops haven't gotten any leads out of dempsey. why don't you go to hichcock and see if you have any luck? yeah. whew. ms. dempsey's boss is away for the week. i just can't believe this happened to her. is there anyone that you can think of who would want to hurt ms. dempsey? i mean, anyone here at work? she wasn't the type to inspire hatred. i mean, she was pretty quiet, actually.

would you say that she was awkward, you know, like socially? a little, yeah. she made a lot of jokes about herself. you know, self-deprecating jokes. i always thought she'd do a lot better dating if she didn't. so she was single, as far as you know. i couldn't say one way or the other. i mean, she never really talked to me about that kind of thing. is there anything about her behavior that was unusual lately? anything that you noticed that was out of her normal routine? just that she was very busy this last week. and there was a big corporate retreat coming up that she was hping her boss put together. i'm sorry i can't be of any more help. it's all right. i'm going to go take a look through her things, if that's ok. yeah. the police already nt through her desk, but feel free. thanks. gideon, some of these layoffs were brutal. this one chemical engier had been at hichcock 19 years when he was down-sized. yeah, it could certainly inspire homicidal rage, huh? the guys was in his late forties.

head of his department. definitely had a generous severance package. all of these guys are living off pensions. they may not be hay about it, but i don't see them killing over it. [cell phone rings] it's garcia. talk to me, hot stuff. get this, cochise. i found a chemist who works at a company that was bought by hichcock called palmay cosmetics. now here's the thing. lynn dempsey applied for a loan at new jersey federal bank around the same time this chemist applied for a patent on this anti-aging breakthrough technology thing called pco-99. so maybe he applied for a loan in her name to make his product? that's what i thought, but both the loan and the patent were rejected because hichcock had already applied for the patent and the patent deal had gone through, drum roll, please, new jersey federal bank. i'm tracking his cell phone. it won't be long before i have his location. ♪ nah nah nah nah nah

in case he doesn't give it up, let's play every angle. we need to reexamine everything we know about this guy. i'll check witness reports, forensic evidence, anything that might be a clue to this guy's plan. a lot of lives could be at stake. you were romantically involved with lynn dempsey, mr. hill? is that what she said? that's what her sister said. what happened to her? the fact is, lynn was already dead. that company killed her years ago. they kill you, too? well, they might as well have. they took everything from me-- fruits of my labor. best years of my life. they took my family. and when there was nothing left to take, they took 2/3 of my salary and my health insurance. you have the opportunity to treat people with the mercy that they never showed you. i can't even tell you... how little that means to me. what would it mean to your children?

listen... you worked hard. played by the rules your whole life. you don't want to go out like this. you do, you stoop to their level. there's things we can do for you. there's ways to help you if you let us. what can you do for me? we're fbi. we have influence with justice. if you have a legitimate claim, and i believe you do, we can see to it that you get fair compensation and credit... and that's all you wanted, right? a fair deal. that's all i ever wanted. of course. you don't think the company knows they screwed you? you don't think everything they do, every move they make isn't designed to screw people like you? you could really get me those things? yeah. this is my aba card. i'm a lawyer. and i'm offering to take your case. if you accept, i have to do what you say.

this whole thing is being videotaped. i can't lie about that. i would like my sons to know... that their dad created something... i created something good. [sobs/laughs] ed. tell us. what did you do? there's a party this afternoon... in the executive building. all the departments get together... there's a punch bowl. don't drink that! put it down. put it down right now. ladies and gentlemen, listen up. we are fbi. i need everybody to remain calm, but there may be some contaminated food here that could make you sick.

please put down whatever it is that you're eating and drinking and please take it easy. we're gonna come around and ask you some questions. is everyone going to be ok? yes. the cdc's here with 3 dozen doses of antitoxin. we're gonna make sure everyone gets some just in case. whoever may have gotten sick, we ould have caught it in time. the punch tested positive for botulism toxin. about a dozen of the party-goers reported symptoms, but they've all been given the antitoxin. hotch: thanks, jj. i'll call you back. bye. what is it? you're right. doesn't make sense. why didn't hill take his own life when we had him surrounded? guys, i think we have a problem. i've been looking over the victim reports. one of the victims that was originally dosed was severely diabetic. and? he wouldn't have taken candy from the candy bowl at the bank. all the victims were there. we know that. but how were they poisoned?

i started looking at the security footage. we know lynn demps repleyed some candy from the bowl. but look how close that jar is to the deposit envelopes. now watch this... see that? her hand is directly on the stack of envelopes. so you think thenvelopes were poisoned as well as the candy? asynn dempsey was dying, sheept saying something like... the end...the end. i think what she was saying was the envelopes. what was it that hill was actually testing, the rohypnol, the lsd? the delivery system. exactly. botulism toxin and lsd are the only 2 substances in the world toxic enough to be effective in doses as small as 1/1000th of a gram. small enough to fit on the glue strip of an envelope. but the cdc didn't find any evidence of poison on the envelopes. they wouldn't ha. the envelopes were destroyed after the checks were deposited and processed. so like the rohypnol, hill was using the candy to throw us off, to cover his tracks... to distract us from the fact that he was testing the envelopes.

what i can't figure out is why would he test the envelopes to poison the punch? because the punch is a decoy just like the candy. he's not finished. gideon! get his head back! he's dead. he killed himself before we even got to him. [cell phone rings] [ring] yeah? hotch, it's morgan. listen, i'm looking at these victimsfro. it doesn't add up. all of these people are lower level, regular office workers. this guy was trying to get back at the people who screwed him. none of them are here. what do you mean? where are they? the entire upper management staff is away at a corporate retreat. the office manager mentioned to elle

that dempsey was organizing a retreat. so then hill wasn't using dempsey for access to the office party. no. he used her for access to the retreat. where are the executives? can they be reached? no. not until tomorrow. they're in the middle of the woods somewhere. it's one of those no cell phones allowed type of things. and what are they doing there? you know... bonding exercises, play games. that kinda stuff. what kind of games? when voting, you want to think about the qualities you admire most. so tomorrow, we tally the votes to find out who our new team leader is. now, we don't want a repeat of last year's fiasco, so this year, i brought along some envelopes. victims need to ingest the antitoxin within 4 hours from the time they're poisoned. and make sure you seal the envelope so there's no cheating--fred. [laughter] does this mean no fishing today? shut up and lick it, bob. where are the bathrooms around here? bathrooms? the whole place is a bathroom. what about phones? i got to call my wife. nowhere. that's the whole point.

bau to air one. you have a visual yet? negative. we checked the first 3 campsites. nothing. what about the park service? couple of families on holiday. wait a minute. i'm getting radioed. they found something near the access road of trailhead 6. emt, we're in route. these guys are in bad shape and getting worse by the minute. who's the sickest? that one over there. these guys are in bad shaphe's having trouble worsbreathing.inute. hyperventilating, i think. what time did they lick the envelopes? he said around 12:30. reid: there were only 8 minutes left. relax your breathing. [wheezing] you're gonna be fine. thank you.
