HOTCHNER
What have we got so far?
-
PRENTISS
Nine victims. Ages ranging from 25-40. Physically fit. Chess pieces, all pawns. All victims had logical reasons to be in the area
, and almost none were planned. All were found six days apart—excluding the married couple found
together—and all were killed late Saturday, early Sundays.
-
REID
If this guy is following a chess game, he's probably a relatively intelligent man. And it is a man.
These bodies were carried through the woods before being dumped. And a strong one.
He's familiar with the area, so either a local or someone who's been here for a very long time.
-
ROSSI
My guess is he's affiliated with either the local police force, the military here on base, or even the area
search and rescue squads. This guy knows this terrain, and knows how to survive out here.
He keeps his victims, torturing them for a minimum of eight hours. So he must have a next where
he's extremely comfortable—living and/or working out of it. My guess is someone has seen this guy, met him,
and probably knows him.
-
PRENTISS
He's relatively stable in a relationship, doesn't want to stand out. If he is ex-military,
special forces or whatever, he's probably seen overseas action—maybe even an extended time.
So he'll crave normalcy—what he perceives as a normal lifestyle. There was no sexual component to the
torture, and each body showed an almost exact pattern of injury, culminating in the carving of the piece
denomination on the chest of the men, and the back of the women.
-
MORGAN
Why is that? The chest of the men? Back of the women?
-
HOTCHNER
Because of the differences in a man's chest and a woman's? Could be he's sexually
repressed, and is embarrassed by a woman's body. Or it's an easier surface to carve
on—a woman's back? Emily—how many white pieces were female? Male?
-
PRENTISS
Five victims were female, of those, four were white. Four victims were male,
all were black pieces. The fifth female—black.
-
HOTCHNER
So all the white pieces were female?
-
REID
Significant?
-
HOTCHNER
Maybe.
Hotchner checks his watch, signals the team to close their files.
HOTCHNER
Let's take a lunch break, then return in an hour. Take a break. Then, Prentiss and Reid, try to ascertain
why the bodies were dropped where they were. Morgan and Dave and I, will head back up the mountain to the other scenes.
-
JAREAU
Oh, goody. Back to the mess hall. Em, got your wolf-repellant?
-
PRENTISS pats the gun strapped to her waist almost fondly.
-
Prentiss
Check. You?
-
JAREAU
Ready. Dave and Reid—stay close. Morgan,
you and Prentiss get to be buddy buddy.
-
HOTCHNER
What?
-
ROSSI
Emily and JJ are very popular in the mess halls, Hotch. Had a bit of trouble getting to
the table this morning. Best if we cut off any problems at the knees.
-
HOTCHNER
I see.
INT. MESS HALL – DAY
Hotchner enters the mess hall first, his body protectively in front of Prentiss. Jareau is behind her, with the rest of the team spread around them. Most of the male eyes focus on the two women when they enter. Morgan tenses, as do Hotch and Rossi. Jareau and Prentiss eye each other and sigh.
HOTCHNER
Prentiss, JJ, you two go straight to our table. Morgan, go with them. There is no
way you two are going through the line or to the table alone. Not with it like this.
And everyone keep in mind, our UNSUB could be watching us all right now.
The team follows his instructions…
INT. MESS HALL SERVING LINE –DAY
Hotchner is first in line, and he places two plates on his tray, Rossi and Reid are directly behind him, gathering food for the other two members of the team.
INT. MESS HALL – DAY
Jareau follows Morgan through the crowd, Prentiss directly behind her. The older woman keeps an eye out for any problems as they wind their way through the crowded tables. Men are calling casual hellos, and flirtatious greetings, trying to drag the two female agents' attention there way. Normally a military base would be more serious, but this is the mess hall and some goofing off is allowed.
INT. MESS HALL BAU TABLE –DAY
Hotchner approaches the table, where Prentiss and Jareau sit against the far wall, with Morgan directly beside Jareau. Hotchner takes the seat next to Prentiss, then places one plate in front of her, and one in front of himself. Dave and Reid do the same with their own gatherings. Soon the team is immersed in dining.
A young soldier approaches the table. He says hello, and smiles at Jareau, backs away at Hotchner's glare. Seville approaches next, moving to the back of the table to speak directly to Prentiss.
SEVILLE
Hello, Agent Prentiss. You getting settled in ok? The rest of you?
Prentiss smiles…
-
PRENTISS
Hello, Col. Seville..
-
SEVILLE
Please, It's Loren.
-
PRENTISS
Loren, we've settled quite well. Hopefully, we can catch
this guy soon, and life can get back to normal here on base.
-
SEVILLE
If you need anything, just let me know, I'll be happy to help you.
-
PRENTISS
Thank you.
-
SEVILLE
Anytime. I'd best be going, I've been assigned a flight this afternoon.
Seville walks away, whistling…Team turns to Prentiss, Hotchner almost glaring. Jareau snickers, Rossi laughs.
-
PRENTISS
What?
-
ROSSI
Sheep. Agent Prentiss. Sheep. And Seville—he's one of the wolves.
-
JAREAU
Hope you've had your rabies shots!
