Distress


Synopsis:
The BAU investigates a series of murders that have occurred near construction sites and abandoned buildings. Because the murders appear to be random, the team believes the killer could be a homeless person. Meanwhile, everyone is noticing an apparent change in Reid's behavior.
Set In:
Houston, TX
Best Moments Between Characters:


Best Lines:
  • (at the homeless shelter)
    Reid: "Do you keep a list of everyone who comes through here?"
    Angie: "We have a sign-in sheet but we don’t force anyone to sign if they don’t want to. Some who do don’t even use their real names. Elvis eats here a lot."
  • Morgan: "And, Garcia? I’d better not ever find any Photoshop pictures of me."
    Garcia: "Oh, trust me, my vision, you will never find them."
  • Hotch: "We're looking for a homicidal serial criminal in a neighborhood populated by criminals. The challenge will be separating him from the rest."
  • (At Crime Scene) Gideon: (Looking down sewer) "Someone has to go down there." (Looks at Morgan)
    Morgan: "Oh see, this ain't cool."
    • (Morgan getting out of the sewer)
    Gideon: "You alright?"
    Morgan: "Ya, you owe me."

The turning point in the investigation:
When Spencer comments on how loud all the construction noise was. It dawns on the team to use the fact that it sounded like war zone to help locate the man who was reliving the time he served in Somalia.


Whodunit?
Roy, a regular working man with a family. He was on his way home from work when he got a blown tire in a bad section of town. An explosion for demolition set him off into "war" mode back to his time in Somalia. He assumed he was still at war and everyone was the enemy so he killed anyone he felt threatened by. He had killed a boy who held a gun to him and his partner during the war and never got over the trauma of it.

goof: when Prentiss & Reid go to the shelter, Prentiss flashes her badge upside down
