ACT 4 - Scene Set 5

INT. BAU CONFERENCE ROOM - DAY (Scene 5.1)

START SCENE

Prentiss and Rossi re enter the room

Prentiss, holding the legal pad: Garcia, he gave us a phone number- can you track it?

Garcia: Hit me with it.

Prentiss: 411-409-2259 (she reads each number slowly)

Garcia types in the number as Prentiss reads it

Garcia: Honey, I'm coming up bupkis - It's not a registered phone number

Reid: No, no - it's a cipher.

Garcia: Oh, oh - That's easy. Why didn't I see that? Garcia, come on use your brain

Prentiss: Garcia-

Garcia: Right, right. Ok if we use a basic letter to number code- it's DANIVEI

Reid: Agreed.

Prentiss: A name maybe? Garcia, see if any Dan Ivei's are in the area

Garcia: I don't see a Dan Ivei - oh I do have a Derrick Daniel Ivei- oh, look at this rap sheet- this could definitely be our hitman. Sending the address to your phones, now

Rossi, Morgan, Reid, JJ, and Prentiss rush out of the conference room. Morgan ran over to Hotch's office where the Director, Strauss, and Hotch were discussing the next steps pursuing the election fraud charges.

Morgan, opening the door: Hotch- we got him.

Hotch stood up

Hotch: Excuse me.

Hotch walked out of the room, and followed Morgan to the elevator where the rest of the team (minus Garcia) was waiting for the pair. The team headed down in the elevator. The scene ends on the elevator doors closing

INT./EXT. MORGAN AND PRENTISS' SUV - DAY (Scene 5.3)

START SCENE

Morgan: So, Prentiss, last time we were in a car together, you nearly got me arrested

Prentiss, laughing: What?

Morgan: Anyways, what's your read on this case

Prentiss: I've said it before- Politics makes people distrustful and hateful and tears families apart. For Canmore, it turned him into a paranoid killer. For the Earles, it destroyed a marriage. For me-

Emily paused

Morgan: What?

Prentiss: For me, it gave me an absent mother.

Morgan's cheerful deposition faltered.

Morgan: Em-

Prentiss: Nevermind- forget I said anything

She smiled sadly. The scene ends on her bittersweet smile

END SCENE


INT./EXT. HOTCH'S SUV - DAY (Scene 5.4)

START SCENE

Hotch: So SWAT's gonna meet us there. This guy is a trained killer- who knows what type of fight he'll put up

The camera shows each member of the team looking anxious. This case was giving them all a bad feeling.

END SCENE


EXT. IVEI'S APARTMENT - DAY (SCENE 5.5)

START SCENE

Both SUVs pull up to the apartment building that Ivei resided in. The team members pile out of the cars and head in, vests on and guns out, SWAT behind them. When they reach the apartment, Morgan kicks down the door and they head in.

They scope out the small, dingy apartment.

Hotch: CLEAR!

The team relaxes, but mistakenly. Just as the team is holstering their weapons, Ivei appears in the hall and holds out his gun

Morgan: GUN!

The team tries to react, but they are too late. Emily watches as a bullet rips through the air. It all happens so fast. A cluster of blonde hair falls to the floor. Ivei escapes through the window. Blood stains blonde hair red. Ivei is gone.

JJ is shot. JJ is shot.
