Shh, shh, shh, shh. Hold still. Almost done. Tucker . This is a surprise. Hey, adam. Um. The fbi came by today. The fbi . What for . Remember those clothes i sold you last month . Some guy who was wearing them, he ended up dead. Are you serious . He was killed, as in murdered, adam. Have you hurt someone . No. No. There must be some misunderstanding. You ught all 8 sets, adam. Look, ever since your car accident. Youve been acting kind of funny. Whats going on with you . Look, why dot you come in and have some tea. Yoneed to take the edge off. Everything is gonna be ok. Promise. Right. Ill get a warrant over there as soon as possible. The owner of the vintage shop bolted from the store. Well, ive got something strange, too. The m. E. Just called. Not only were there ligature marks on victim 3s arms, buhis jaw was dislocated as well. His jaw . Why would you hang someone, dislocate their joints and their jaw, and then crucify them . I can see your wheels turning. Dont hold back. Maybe hes dislocating their body parts so he can manipulate them himself. For what purpose . Think about it for a second. If you add the dislocation, the holes in the hands, the strange clothing and the odd makeup, turning his victims into human marionettes . vo shop all makes, models and colors in your neighborhood. All with worryfree ownership. Head to your neighborhood enterprise car sales and let the people who buy more vehicles than anyone. Shift your thinking about buying your next one. Wake up what . Mmmmmm hey what are you doing . uh. Ids, go back to sleep now. Where were we, hehe. Hehehe. Anyone can give you a bag of food for four bucks. But only colonel can give you a real delicious and youre in luck cause. Im a colonel. The greeks translated puppets as neurospasta, which literally means stringpulling. And throughout time theyve been used as a method to tell kings a story so the subjects didnt have to speak directly to him. It was a way to hear the truth. It seems like this unsubs doing something similar, using his puppets to tell his story. He cant be controlling them by hand. No, he probably built some sort of contraption. Reid and he trying to lift his victims. That could explain why they discarded the men. What do you see . Ey were too heavy. Well, im checking the licenses of our victims, and each one weighed less than the previous one. You know, if hes making human marionettes, that also explains why hes stuffing his victims into boxes. Its like a sick toy chest. So he is dehumanizing them, but hes just not killing them. Hes turning them into his playthings. A father and son were just abducted from a parking lot at gunpoint. A witness saw a man force them into a car. Dave, you and blake go check it out. And puppeteers in the area. Ok. Lets to it again. Should we break their jaws . No. No. I need to hear them. Please, adam, let us down. No. You guys have to do it right this time. You have to save them. From what . From the robber. I told you. And. Again. Ok, there are 5 puppeteers marionetters in the area. Any of them recently released from prison . No. Theyre working kids parties and at hospitals. What about someone who had a traumatic incident with a brunette girl . Thats kind of specific. Hold on, let me patch in morgan and jj. Hey, were at the clothing store. We got the names of 5 people who left numerous messages for tucker this week. Give them to me. All right, we got sam holby, vincent lang, matt parker, and a jill olger. And no, and im crosschecking those with hotchs list of puppeteers. And no. So ive got 8 more names, some written on pads in the back, others are frequent customers. Penelope, we need you to trace the phone lines here, too, see if this guy tucker called the unsub today. Give me your money. Give it now. Thats your cue. Whats my cue . Youre supposed to say. I dont have any money, after he says, give it to me now. Say it again, mr. Conrad. Give me your money. Give it now. I dont have any money. Youre lying. I saw you with it. Dad, just give him the money. [grunting] mitch, mitch, what are you doing . Youre supposed to save my father. My name is not mitch, and im not gonna say these lines. Ohh now. If you dont save him, then he is gonna die. Is that what you want . Aah people, its going to be a full house. So, push through it. We just came from the parking lot where the father and son were abducted. It looks like the unsub might be on the surveillance camera. Mm. [ring] garcia. Yes, sir. Were there any incidents involving a father and son in the puppeteers histories that you found . Father and son. Ok. No, its coming up empty. What about 20 or 30 years ago . Well, there was a pretty famous puppeteer in the late fifties named alex rain. He died in a robbery. His son witnessed it. What was the sons name . Adam rain. Mom died 10 years ago. Crosscheck adams name with the names of the patrons in the clothing store. Oh, i got a big old hit. Ok, mr. Rain called tucker, the owner, 40 times in the last month. And check this. His father was most wellknown for a pair of puppets named mitch and steph. The male one had dark black hair, the female was a redhead. You have an address . Last known was a building on pine street, used to be his fathers theater. Come on, dave. Garcia and guess what he drives. Two minutes until curtain. You ready . Its gonna be right this time. Lets hope so. Break a leg. Ladies and gentlemen, truth is what the storyteller brings you. He holds up a mirror to your soul and reflects back the truth of what happened, and so without further ado, the rain theater proudly continues that gre tradition in this very special matinee performance of the robbery.

When you pull at the strings of adam the puppeteer, he unravels faster than a twocent romance novel. He worked at a glue factory most of his adult life. He was in a car accident that put him in a coma for over a year. He woke up 3 months ago. Straight away, the nurse says he starts acting really ildish, asking for his father, who died over 50 years ago. Hotch the head injury must have been the trigger like a peter pan syndrome. And if there was damage to the prefrontal cortex, he might lack rational thought and empathy. So hes a psychopath who thinks hes a kid again and wants to avenge his fathers death. If the robbery that killed the father happened in the theater. Hes reenacting that moment. Give me your money. Give it now. [snaps fingers] i dont have any money. Youre lying. I saw you with it. [snaps fingers] dad, just give him the money. I wont. [echoing] i wont. Dad, just give him the money. I wont. Come on, do something do something please, mitch, steph come on, do something come on, do something. Do something. Adam rain, this is the fbi i need to see your hands. Whatwhat are you doing . Somebody call security. You cant ruin this. Adam, put down the gun. Were in the middle of a performance. This is not a performance. Yes, it is a performance and this is not how it ends we need to get these people to a hospital. After they save my father from the robber. What robber, adam . From him he did it we have to stop him mr. Rain, its only a puppet. Theres no one there. When you were young, he never told you that the puppets werent real. Thats not true. It is. And thats why steph and mitch couldnt save him that day. They only moved when he made them. Youre lying. Adam, dont do to these people what the robber did to your father. You can save them. [scattered applause] [applause increases] thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Well, i think after this long, hard week we just had, we should all head over to rossis and pop open some old, expensive wine. Thats a plan. Could we maybe play some mes, too .
