He then ran off and Hotch heard his truck start up. He calculated the distance to the police station and how long it would take to get there. He realized he wouldn't have a lot of time so he immediately started to scoot towards JJ who had started to sob very violently again after she had been cut. He figured that he could untie her and that she could in turn untie him but then he noticed the knot Henry had tied. It was a knot that Hotch had never seen before and looked impossible to untie. He tried for a little bit but still couldn't figure it out.
As Henry neared the police station, he saw a young kid riding a bike. He got out of his truck, paid the kid $5, handed him the envelope, pointed to the police station, and then got back into his truck.
Meanwhile, at the police station, Gideon, Morgan, Reid, Prentiss, and Garcia all sat in a conference room discussing possible leads and their next move. Gideon looked at the clock and wondered why Hotch and JJ weren't back yet. Even if they had pursued and caught the Henry, they should have been back by now. Almost at that exact moment, the chief of police came in holding the manila envelope with rubber gloves on.
"A young boy came in with this video and said a man gave it to him" said the chief as he put it in the VCR. The whole team watched in awe as Hotch read the script and JJ sat sobbing in the corner.
As soon as the video was over Gideon sprang into action "Ok, Prentiss, Reid, I want you to talk to the boy and find out what you can about this man, it must be Henry. Morgan, I want you to find what kind of car Henry drives and tell everyone about it. Garcia, I want you to analyze the video more closely, and find anything else you can about it. JJ… I mean I'll put out a press conference asking the town for help. OK, you got your assignments, now carry them out."
Prentiss and Reid talked to the kid and immediately figured out that the man was Henry. Morgan figured out that Henry drives an old, red Chevrolet 4x4. All that Garcia could figure out is that JJ and Hotch were in a very old, industrial building and then immediately started checking satellite images of the town for old, abandoned, isolated, industrial buildings. Gideon held his press conference but to much dismay the town didn't respond.
