Harwood State Park – Pennsylvania – Night
The Walkers are walking in the park.
Linda Walker: Maybe we should go back?
Michael Walker: That spot I told you about is just a little further.
Linda Walker: You said that an hour ago.
Michael takes a map.
Michael Walker: Ok, so, here's where we are now.
Linda Walker: I think we passed that.
Michael Walker: Well, this is where we stopped for Sammy.
Linda Walker: Wait, where is Sammy?
Michael Walker: Sammy. Sammy, quit fooling around. Sammy, where are you?!
Sammy appears behind them and scares them.
Sammy Walker: Boo! Ha!
Michael Walker: That's not funny!
Linda Walker: Don't ever do that!
Sammy Walker: All right. Sorry.
They hear a noise.
Linda Walker: Did you hear that?
Sammy Walker: It's not me.
They see a bear. Sammy lights him but his father stops him.
Michael Walker: No, no, no. Stay here.
Michael moves forward and sees a skeleton wrapped in plastic.
Sammy Walker: What is it, dad?
Conference Room – BAU – Quantico, Virginia – Night
Garcia: 10-year-old Daniel Lanham was reported missing while on a camping trip with his father last November. His remains were just discovered by hikers inPennsylvania.
Reid: That's really close to theAppalachian Trail.
Garcia: The Rangers are the ones calling us in.
Reid: The trail covers 14 states and is nearly2,200 miles long. It's a miracle he was ever found.
Hotch: I don't think he was supposed to be.
Rossi: The unsub could have left him for the elements, but he wrapped him in plastic.
Prentiss: Remorse?
Rossi: Think he bonded with the kid?
Prentiss: If he's an opportunistic offender, probably not.
Morgan: What are the chances that Daniel was his only victim?
Reid: Not good.
Hotch: Garcia, will you let the Rangers know that we'll be there within the hour?
Garcia: Yes, sir.
Phinney State Park – Pennsylvania – Day
The Brooks are camping.
Frank Brooks: We're gonna need some more wood, the drier the better.
Robert Brooks: How much?
Frank Brooks: Whatever you can carry.
Ana Brooks: I can help.
Robert Brooks: Great. You can get the twigs.
Ana Brooks: I can carry logs.
Robert Brooks: Yeah? You and what army?
Ana Brooks: I don't need one.
Ana goes to get twigs.
Frank Brooks: Keep an eye on her.
Robert follows her.
Robert Brooks: Hey, wait up, Ana.
Ana Brooks: I've got that stick. Hey, come, come.
Robert Brooks: Hey, hold on, wait for me. Here's one.
Robert picks some twigs, but hears noises and starts to be scared.
Robert Brooks: Ana! Ana, let's go!
Ana Brooks: Ok.
OPENING CREDITS
Morgan Voice Over: Ralph Ellison said, "I am invisible, understand, simply because people refuse to see me."
In The Plane – Day
Reid: Guys, I started a geographic profile on the assumption that theAppalachian Trail is this unsub's hunting ground.
Prentiss: We got lucky with Daniel. I doubt we'll find any more bodies.
Rossi: Parents think their kids are lost, but what's worse, he has them.
Morgan: Hiding out in the middle of nowhere.
Prentiss: ThePennsylvania police considered Daniel's father a suspect. They interviewed him several times.
Hotch: Without a body, they can't charge him.
Prentiss: Well, he appeared to be obsessed with finding his son. He even went back into the woods dozens of times following Daniel's disappearance. He claimed he was searching for him.
Hotch: All right, we'll start with Daniel's life. He's been exposed to a large suspect pool. Community, school, family friends… We can't rule anybody out.
Ranger Station – Pennsylvania – Day
The team arrives.
Ranger Turner: Agent Hotchner?
Hotch: Ranger Turner. This is Agent Rossi, Dr. Reid.
Ranger Turner: Um, got out some of the maps that we use for search and rescue. Just let me know what else you might need.
Rossi: Do you have the M.E. report on Daniel?
Ranger Turner: Yeah. It got here just before you did.
Hotch: Is Mr. Lanham here?
Ranger Turner: He's in my office. We've had him in a half a dozen times.
Rossi: Look what happened in March.
Room – Ranger Station – Pennsylvania – Day
Hotch: Mr. Lanham, I'm Agent Hotchner with the FBI.
Joseph Lanham: Hello.
Hotch: I need to ask you some questions. Mr. Lanham, you went back to the same spot where Daniel went missing every weekend from November until mid-March.
Joseph Lanham: That's right.
Hotch: And then you stopped going. Why? What changed? Mr. Lanham, Daniel died sometime in mid-March. You need to explain why you stopped looking for him at the same time that he died.
Joseph Lanham: I don't know. I just… I just had this feeling that he was gone.
Hotch: You and Daniel went camping regularly in the woods?
Joseph Lanham: Yeah. His mother had full custody and we only had the weekends. I wanted to make them special, something he'd always remember.
Hall – Ranger Station – Pennsylvania – Day
Rossi: Daniel may have been his only human contact for months.
Ranger Turner: You think he's done this before?
Reid: It's difficult to say. Most child offenders dispose of their victims immediately.
Rossi: They become overwhelmed with reality and sometimes shame, until the urge builds up again.
Reid: This guy's moved past that, though. He feels no remorse about his compulsions.
Rossi: He's most likely had other victims. If he's a preferential offender, they'd be about the same age as Daniel.
Reid calls Garcia.
Reid: Garcia, look for prepubescent boys who went missing from theAppalachian Trail in the last year.
Rossi: Better make that 5 years. This guy's had a lot of practice.
Harwood State Park – Pennsylvania – Day
Prentiss: It wouldn't have taken long for the elements to destroy the body. He wanted Daniel preserved.
Morgan: Maybe it isn't a disposal site, maybe it's a grave.
Prentiss: Then he'd have to leave a marker.
Morgan: And he wouldn't want other hikers to notice it.
Prentiss: Well, he doesn't consider himself a visitor in the woods. He feels at home here like he owns it.
Morgan: And he'd want to show his dominance. You know, animals make their mark as high up in a tree as they can possibly reach.
Morgan notices scratches on trees to mark disposal sites.
Prentiss: He probably used an axe.
Morgan: Prentiss. He's got another body buried around here somewhere.
Room – Ranger Station – Pennsylvania – Day
Hotch: So the night he disappeared… You set up camp, then fell asleep?
Joseph Lanham: Yeah.
Hotch: And then a man came in your tent?
Joseph Lanham: No. No one came in the tent. Daniel, he… he got up and he went out. You ok?
Daniel: Yeah. Just bathroom. Be right back.
Joseph Lanham: I should have followed him. But I didn't. I fell back asleep. You and the cops and everybody, you think that I did it. It doesn't matter. Not to me. The only thing that I care about is what my little boy was thinking… That I wasn't there to protect him. I was his hero and I failed. How do I live with that?
Hall – Ranger Station – Pennsylvania – Day
Rossi: You think he's telling the truth?
Hotch: Yeah, I do.
Prentiss: We found another body at the disposal site, wrapped in plastic, roughly Daniel's age.
Joseph Lanham: His clothing matches a missing persons report. Boy's name is Tyler Stolts, and he was abducted 23 months ago.
Morgan: When did Lanham move to the area?
Hotch: Summer of '09.
Rossi: Then we can clear him as a suspect.
Reid:Tyler went missing in October of 2008, Daniel the following November.
Prentiss: So he takes a kid off the trail in the fall and keeps him all winter.
Morgan: It's like he's hibernating with him.
Phinney State Park – Pennsylvania – Night
Robert Brooks: What?
Ana Brooks: I need to go pee.
Robert Brooks: Go get mom.
Ana Brooks: Please, I really have to go.
Robert Brooks: Fine. Make it quick.
They get out of the tent.
Robert Brooks: Go behind there.
Ana Brooks: Ok.
They hear a noise.
Ana Brooks: I can't do it here.
Robert Brooks: All right. Come on.
They go somewhere else.
Ana Brooks: I don't want you listening.
Robert Brooks: Then go back there.
Ana Brooks: Ok.
Robert hear a noise.
Robert Brooks: Ana, hurry up, it's freezing. Ana.
He joins his sister and sees she is shocked.
Ana Brooks: He said he'd kill mom and dad.
Robert Brooks: Who?
A man appears and grabs Ana.
Killer: Me.
Hall – Ranger Station – Pennsylvania – Night
Morgan: What'd you find, Reid?
Reid: I went back 10 years, matching reports of missing children with Daniel and Tyler's victimology, and in my estimation, this unsub may have taken 12 victims.
Rossi: How can you attribute all of those to the same offender?
Reid: The dates and locations of the abductions create an unmistakable pattern.
Prentiss: Then if he's been abducting children for 10 years, why weren't we called in before now?
Reid: The thing is, he walks the entire trail, end to end, and each way takes approximately 6 months. His sixth victim was taken from Dawsonville, Georgia, in 2006, then he walked all the way to Manchester, Vermont, and he took a seventh victim in 2007. He wasn't down South again until 2009. When James Clutter's parents woke up from a night of camping, he was gone. They just assumed he wandered off.
Hotch: We didn't get called in because nobody knew he existed. The crimes are years apart and across state lines.
Reid: The interesting thing is, 10 years ago he was a more aggressive hunter, likely on the move hunting and killing all 365 days a year, but 2 years ago he stopped travelling so far.
Prentiss: He's slowing down.
Reid: I think something's affected his mobility. Old age or an injury from years of living on the trail. But the odd thing is, for the past 2 winters, he's returned to this 30-mile radius. He takes a victim with him in the fall to stay with him until spring somewhere within that area.
Rossi: These are harsh winters. He needs to find shelter.
Morgan: And it would have to be heavy camouflaged. Even the most experienced hikers haven't seen it.
Cave – Phinney State Park – Pennsylvania – Night
The unsub locks them in a cage in a cave.
Robert Brooks: Our parents will be looking for us. They'll know we're gone.
Ana Brooks: We want our mom and dad!
Robert Brooks: If you let us go, we won't tell. Promise. We won't. Right, Ana?
Ana Brooks: Yeah.
Robert Brooks: You can't just leave us here in the dark.
Ana Brooks: Robert!
Robert Brooks: We'll be okay.
Phinney State Park – Pennsylvania – Day
The team arrives at the Brooks’ camping site.
Rossi: What do we have?
Prentiss: Unsub took two kids this time, 10-year-old Robert Brooks and his 8-year-old sister Ana.
Morgan: Girls aren't his preference.
Rossi: Not a lot of families camping out in November.
Prentiss: He took what he could get.
Morgan: And Robert wasn't alone. He couldn't risk leaving a witness.
Prentiss: The question is, how long will he keep her alive?
Cave – Phinney State Park – Pennsylvania – Day
Ana Brooks: Robert, I'm scared. What does he want?
Robert Brooks: I don't know.
Ana Brooks: What is he gonna do to us?
Robert Brooks: I don't know.
Ana Brooks: Do you think he's gonna…
Robert Brooks: Just stop, please. Mom and dad know we're gone by now. So they're gonna send everybody to find us.
Ana Brooks: But what if no one ever finds us?
Robert Brooks: Don't say that. We're gonna be ok. Come on, come on. Shh. Shh… It's gonna be fine. Here. He kind of looks like Mr. Binky.
Robert gives his sister a toy.
Ana Brooks: Robert… Whose toys are these?
Robert and Ana look at the toys from the past victims in the cage.
Phinney State Park – Pennsylvania – Day
Frank Brooks: The kids wanted their own tent. They're too big to fit with us.
Violet Brooks: We could hear them giggling. I fell asleep to it.
Hotch: Would it be possible for us to get a piece of each of the children's clothing to help in the search?
Violet Brooks: Sure.
Hotch: Thank you.
Joseph Lanham: I want to go with them.
Hotch: Mr. Brooks, I need you to stay in the camp in case Robert and Ana come back. Excuse me. Thank you. Mr. Lanham, can I help you?
Joseph Lanham: I heard the news. I know this area as well as anyone.
Hotch: Sir, I can't have you on the trail. I'm not out here for vengeance.
Joseph Lanham: What those kids are going through, it's the same thing Daniel went through.
Hotch: I understand.
Joseph Lanham: I need to be here.
Hotch: Maybe you can help out in some other way, but you can't be here.
Reid: Hotch.
Hotch: Sir, I'm sorry. Excuse me. Go ahead, Reid.
Reid: Ok, worst-case scenario—the children were taken at 9 p.m. That gives him roughly a 12-hour head start at3 miles per hour.
Hotch: He's got two children.
Reid: At2 miles per hour, that's roughly a 24-mile radius, the same ground we profiled last night. But, Hotch, if he's an experienced tracker, he'll probably realize he's being hunted by now and discard all nonessentials.
Hotch: Like Ana.
Reid: She's not his type.
Hotch: Until we have reason to believe otherwise, we have to assume she's alive. We'll deliver the profile and get search and rescue teams going.
Cave – Phinney State Park – Pennsylvania – Day
The unsub opens the cage and sits. He gives Ana some water.
Robert Brooks: No! What are you doing? He could have poisoned that.
Ana Brooks: But I'm thirsty.
The unsub drinks the water. Ana and Robert drink too.
Unsub: Come here. I want to show you something.
Robert Brooks: I don't want to leave my sister.
The unsub approaches them.
Unsub: You want a flashlight? He'll bring you one.
Robert leaves the cage.
Ana Brooks: Robert, please don't leave me. Robert… Robert!
Phinney State Park – Pennsylvania – Day
The team gives a profile.
Hotch: This unsub hunts for, abducts, and keeps his victims in the woods.
Morgan: We believe he left civilization and forged a home for himself right here in the wilderness.
Rossi: Which means he's lost any societal or moral restraints.
Prentiss: He's devoted his life to taking children, and he's found the perfect place to hide them. He's found or made a shelter which is difficult to find.
Hotch: It allows him to withstand harsh weather and is secure enough to keep his victims from escaping.
Morgan: So it must be sizable, underground or on a mountainside.
Rossi: Sometimes the voices of trapped children gets drowned out by search parties calling for them.
Prentiss: Which is why we're asking you to call out Robert and Ana's names but leave pauses in between to listen for their responses.
Hotch: Ok, let's go.
People with dogs start looking for Ana and Robert.
Woman: Ana!
Man: Robert?
Hall – Ranger Station – Pennsylvania – Day
Reid: Let's see, iron deposits in McKee's pond, so the water's undrinkable. So that would leave…
Joseph Lanham: I always thought I had searched every inch of those woods. Do you ever think he ever heard me calling his name?
Reid: Even if he didn't, I'm sure he knew you were looking for him.
Joseph Lanham: I was. I knew he was out there somewhere.
Reid: Mr. Lanham, do you mind if I ask you a few questions? You know this area better than anyone, and I think that you can help us find these children.
Cave – Phinney State Park – Pennsylvania – Day
Robert does come back with a flashlight, but also crying, shattered and most likely scarred for life.
Ana Brooks: Robert, what happened? What happened? Tell me.
Robert Brooks: Next time he comes to get me… Run. And don't stop.
Ana Brooks: No, I don't want to go by myself.
Robert Brooks: Promise.
Ana Brooks: Ok, promise.
Phinney State Park – Pennsylvania – Day
Woman: Ana!
Man: Robert! Ana?!
Woman: Ana! Robert!
Room – Ranger Station – Pennsylvania – Day
Reid: Hey, when do the temperatures drop below freezing?
Joseph Lanham: By Thanksgiving at the latest.
Reid: They'd have to go where the food supply is. And that saves us another5 miles. What about shelter? Where did you stay when you were out there?
Joseph Lanham: I was holed up in a cave mostly. Caves have a natural temperature.
Reid: They provide their own heating source.
Cave – Phinney State Park – Pennsylvania – Day
Robert Brooks: I need to go to the bathroom.
Ana Brooks: Me, too.
Unsub: You wait.
Ana Brooks: I want to go to the bathroom.
The unsub only lets out Robert.
Unsub: Get back. Down there. Stay! Get back! I said go! Down there. Get back! Get up! Get up! Get back! I said stay there! Aah!
Robert strikes his leg with a pipe.
Robert Brooks: Run, Ana, run! Run! Run!
Unsub: Aah! Aah! Aah!
The unsub grabs Ana, but Robert jumps at him.
Robert Brooks: Get away from her! Stay away from her! Get off her!
Ana Brooks: Aah!
Unsub: Gaahh!
Ana Brooks: Aah! Yaah!
Ana can escape.
Unsub: Get up! Get up!
The unsub, unhappy, grabs Robert.
Phinney State Park – Pennsylvania – Day
Ana crawls out of the underground cave and runs in the park. Prentiss and Morgan find her.
Prentiss: Ana? It's ok. It's ok. Come here. My name's Emily. You're safe now. We've been looking for you for a long time.
Morgan: Hey, Ana. Where's your brother?
Ana Brooks: I thought he'd run after me, but I looked back and he wasn't there.
Ranger Turner: Ana, do you know which direction you came from?
Ana Brooks: I don't know. I just started running. Robert told me to run and not stop running no matter what.
Prentiss: It's ok. You did the right thing. Listen, this nice Ranger, she's going to take you home to your mom and dad now, ok?
Phinney State Park – Pennsylvania – Day
The unsub takes Robert away. Robert falls on the ground.
Unsub: Get up. Get up. Get up!
Robert Brooks: I can't. I can't go any further.
Unsub: This is all your fault. I told you I wouldn't hurt you.
They hear people looking for Robert and they stop walking.
Man: Robert! Robert! Robert!
Unsub: No matter how bad things get, they can get worse.
Room – Ranger Station – Pennsylvania – Day
Ana Brooks: I shouldn't have left Robert, but he told me to run. He made me promise.
Violet Brooks: It's ok, baby.
Ana Brooks: But he still has him.
Frank Brooks: Sweetie, you did the right thing.
Hotch: Ana, the man who took you and Robert, what do you remember about him?
Ana Brooks: He smelled. He was dirty.
Hotch: Anything else?
Ana Brooks: He was scary. And he walked funny.
Hotch: Like with a limp?
Ana Brooks: Yeah.
Hotch: Good. That helps us.
Phinney State Park – Pennsylvania – Day
Prentiss: She must have come through here.
Morgan: He's gotta have a shelter nearby. All right, back the dogs up.
They find the cave.
Ranger Turner: I've never seen this cave before. It could be a den, or it could go deep.
Prentiss: This has gotta be it.
Morgan: All right, let's go.
Cave – Phinney State Park – Pennsylvania – Day
They enter the cave but it’s empty.
Morgan: It looks like he was in a hurry. He left some cash, a week's worth of rations, and some clothes back there. Look at this.
Prentiss: Pills and flowers. I don't see this guy as a botanist. Do you think he smokes those?
Ranger Turner: This mine's been sealed for years. The shaft goes about another100 feet and collapses in. I also found a box of ammo but no gun.
Prentiss: Reid, I'm sending you a picture of a flower this guy collects.
Reid: It's loading right now.
Morgan: This guy's in survival mode.
Prentiss: If he's on the run, what does that mean for Robert?
Reid: It's devil's claw. It's a homeopathic pain treatment most commonly used for swollen joints. The little girl told Hotch that the unsub walked with a limp. He could be using devil's claw as a pain treatment.
Ranger Turner: The unsub needs drugs?
Prentiss: It would explain why he's covering less and less ground each year.
Reid: You know, the thing is, though, that flower wouldn't keep him mobile for 8 months. If he's suffering from a degenerative disease, he'd have a hard time getting around without painkillers.
Morgan: All right, come on, let's get out of here.
Phinney State Park – Pennsylvania – Day
Unsub: I'm gonna untie you. You make a sound, you run for it, you die. Got it? Let's go. Come on.
Room – Ranger Station – Pennsylvania – Day
Hotch: All the trailheads in the area have been closed. Rangers are processing everyone coming off.
Rossi: He knows every inch of this place. He'll get out on a route we didn't even know existed.
Reid: Guys, his first abduction off the trail wasJonestown,Pennsylvania. What if he grew up around here?
Hotch: He could have a friend or relative in the area.
Reid: The closest city isHarrisburg. He needs supplies, medication, and a place to hide.
Apartment – Near Harrisburg, Pennsylvania – Day
Charlie: Yeah, I don't want to hear your sob story. Just pay me by Monday.
Hallways – Apartment – Near Harrisburg, Pennsylvania – Day
The unsub, called Shane, walks with Robert in the hallways. He knocks at the door of Brandon’s apartment.
Brandon: What… who is it?
Shane: Let me in.
Brandon: Shane, I told you if I ever saw you again…
Shane:Brandon, open this damn door before somebody sees me.
Brandon: You stole my whole supply, you son of a bitch. You know how long it took to buy back the number of pills you ripped off?
Shane: What I got's so good, we can talk another deal.
Brandon: Ain't nothing that good.
Shane shows him Robert. Brandon, happy, opens the door and looks at the kid.
Brandon: What's your name?
In The Car – Near Harrisburg, Pennsylvania – Day
Hotch: Garcia, cross-reference your list with men convicted of sex crimes against boys age 8 to12 in the early 1990s. Start withPennsylvania.
Rossi: He'd have stopped showing up to parole meetings in 2001 and he's been off the grid ever since.
Garcia: Well, I've got about 2 dozen of those, so… Wait. Oh, this is super weird. Um… 11 of these men paroled in the early nineties have the exact same last known address.
Prentiss: A cluster of pervs?
Morgan: That rules out areas that are near schools and parks. Housing options are limited, to say the least.
Prentiss: Guess that makes sense. The cluster would be the one place they feel safe.
Hotch: Garcia, what's the address?
Garcia: Sending it right now.
Brandon’s Apartment – Near Harrisburg, Pennsylvania – Day
Shane: I need at least 3 months' worth.
Brandon: That's it, Shane. If that ain't good enough, find somewhere else to stay.
Shane: I know you got more.
Brandon: I told you, that's all I got.
Shane starts looking through the room.
Shane: Where are you hiding them?
Brandon: Ah, come on. Ah, please…
Shane finds some.
Shane: Ho ho. Ho ho ho ho ho. Thought you said you didn't have any more. What the hell is this?
Brandon: Please, that's all I got left.
Shane: Since you've been so generous, I'm gonna give you an hour. Play nice with him. I don't want any bruising.
In The Car – Near Harrisburg, Pennsylvania – Day
Hotch: Garcia, we think the unsub might have suffered from a degenerative disease. Can you check prison medical records?
Garcia: Ok, I got him. Shane Wyland. He was incarcerated in 1994 for… Jeez, raping a 10-year-old. I have no idea why he's out now. I'm sending you his mug shot.
Prentiss: Garcia, did any of the current residents of the cluster serve prison time with him, or did they share a parole officer?
Garcia: I'm looking, but I'm currently dice-less.
Prentiss: He's got a kid with him, so he's gotta be going to someone he knows wouldn't turn him in.
Hotch: Reid said he'd need painkillers right away.
Morgan: He left his supply in the mine. Well, there was a lot of money left in that backpack. I don't know how much he's got on him, but those drugs aren't cheap.
Rossi: But he's got Robert. To some people, that's as good as cash.
Brandon’s Apartment – Near Harrisburg, Pennsylvania – Day
Brandon: You ok, buddy? Oh, I know something that always cheers me up. Want to watch a video?
Brandon touches Robert’s leg.
Robert Brooks: Stay away from me.
Brandon: Oh, don't play games now. Hmm?
Robert Brooks: Stay away from me!
Robert tries to run away.
Brandon: Come on. Come on. Come on.
Brandon knocks Robert unconscious.

Charlie: Yeah, yeah, that's fine, well, I'm not calling the exterminator. You can go buy yourself some damn traps. Whoever did it, just get them out of here.
Morgan: Sir, do you know Shane Wyland?
Charlie: No.
Morgan: Have you ever seen this kid?
Charlie: Definitely not. Anybody under 18 walks in here, I got the cops on speed dial.
Prentiss: Ok, so you want to score, who do you go to in the building?
Charlie: I got nothing to do with that.
Morgan: Come on, man, somebody in this building has the hookup.
Charlie: Look, this place is full of lowlifes. A lot of them sell on the side.
Prentiss: We're looking for someone who would have moved in here back in the nineties.
Charlie: The only cat lived here that long is Brandon Stiles. Room 408.
Prentiss: Thank you. You tip him off, you're an accessory.
Charlie: Don't make a mess.
Brandon’s Apartment – Near Harrisburg, Pennsylvania – Day
Prentiss and Morgan break in, but Brandon and Robert are gone, except for one of the boy's shoes.
Morgan:Brandon Stiles! FBI! It's clear here. Prentiss. Robert was here.
Prentiss: Hotch, it looks like Robert was in the room. It looks like there was some kind of a struggle. If he managed to escape, they could be chasing him down now.
Hotch: All right, you continue to search the building. We'll cover the surrounding area.
Prentiss: Got it.
Outside – Apartment – Near Harrisburg, Pennsylvania – Day
Hotch, Rossi and other cops are in the alleyway and on the street.
Rossi: Officers cleared the surrounding blocks, showed Robert's picture. No one saw anything.
Hotch: We need to clear every dumpster in a 4-block radius.
Rossi: If things went wrong and he killed the boy, would he take the body out in daylight?
Hotch: He could get him out in a duffel bag.

Robert wakes up and Brandon tries to kill him. But he hears a noise and tries to find where it comes from. When he comes back, Robert is gone. He finds him, hidden.
Brandon: I'm not going back to prison.
Robert kicks Brandon in the balls and tries to run away. Brandon runs after him.
Brandon: Uhh! Kid! Come back here! Uhh! Come here!
Morgan and Prentiss open the door and collar Brandon.
Morgan: Don't move!
Brandon: I didn't take him. Shane brought him to me. I… I didn't do anything.
Prentiss: It's ok, Robert. You're safe now.
Morgan: Get on your knees. Get down!
Brandon gets on his knees.
Morgan: Where's Shane Wyland? Where'd he go?
Brandon: I… I don't know. He… he just dropped the kid off.
Robert: He said he'd be back in an hour.
Prentiss: Hotch, we've got Robert. Shane Wyland is not in the building, but he may be in the immediate vicinity.
Morgan: Let's go. Get up. Get up!

Reid: He got away.
Joseph Lanham: What about the kid?
Reid: He's headed to the hospital. Uh… We, uh… We found this in the mine shaft.
Reid gives Joseph Daniel’s clothing.
Joseph Lanham: It's Daniel's.
Reid: I'm sorry, Mr. Lanham.
Joseph cries.
Hospital – Pennsylvania – Day
Morgan and Rossi are looking at the Brooks family, happy.
Morgan: How often does that happen?
Rossi: Not often enough.
In The Plane – Day
Prentiss: Shane must have seen the police presence and just taken off. It was easy for him.
Morgan: Robert's a tough kid.
Rossi: Knowing he fought back will help him get through this. In my entire career, I've only brought back a handful of kids to their parents after the 24-hour mark. This is not a loss in my book.
Hotch: Before now, nobody knew that there was a pedophile hunting on the trail. Now we know who he is and what he looks like.
Rossi: His photo's been sent to all the Ranger stations.
Morgan: Do you think he'll go back there?
Prentiss: Well, he can't function anywhere else.
Hotch: He's got no place to hide. We've taken that away from him.
Reid: It's just hard to accept there's no justice for the families he destroyed.
Hotch: We'll get him.
Park – Pennsylvania – Day
Meanwhile, a clean-shaven Shane hops off a pick-up truck and heads into the woods.
