He thinks he has a mole and wants Gideon and his team to find out who. Gideon briefs the team. The woman turned as a mole against her husband for the CIA. She and the kids are in a container waiting for Summers to return for them. The team shows up at Langley. At Garcia’s office she is given full access to the CIA’s computer system. She and JJ are in awe. In the conference room at Langley they begin to profile the unsub. Garcia finds a video that Gideon is in with Summers. Bruno briefs his team on why the BAU is there and they are to cooperate. They rewatch the video. Summers believes there was only 4 possibilities. Gideon figures out who the four could be. They focus in on those four. Back in the container, the three are running out of water and the batteries go out in the lantern. Reid helps figure out where Summers might have hidden the three.

Olivia words on a secluded station and she is suddenly killed. No one else knows. They pull the other three in and tell them all at once. Gideon and Bruno have a private chat.

The CIA agents leave Garcia’s office. She is trying to find out Prince William’s phone number as the system disconnects from her set up.

Synopsis: A man sits in a chair in his boxers. He starts taping foil all over the windows. It’s raining outside. A hooded man hails a cab. The cabbie pulls over to drop him off. He gets out and murders the cabbie. At the BAU Hotch presents a case. They hop on the plane and head to New York for the case. On the plane, they discuss the unsub’s profile. They arrive at the cabbie’s murder scene and break it down. Other members go to a female victim’s house to collect data as well. At the station the team delivers a partial profile. The unsub goes to a church. A woman asks if she can help him and she witnesses him killing the priest. Derek, Elle and Hotch question the witness. She didn’t see his face though because he was wearing a hoodie. She is able to describe his behavior though. Reid takes a closer look at the weapon the unsub stabbed in the victim’s ear and it’s made of flint. Hotch calls Garcia and asks her to check if the victims have ever been charged with a crime. All the victims were acquitted of crimes. This unsub is a vigilante who is killing people he thinks are guilty and still got off. To make matters worse someone leaked the details of the case to the media. The team have dinner together at a Chinese restaurant. Gideon gets a call; another person has been murdered. Back at the station they do a deeper analysis. They begin to narrow their search. JJ speaks to the reporter who leaked the story. She brings him in for Gideon to interview.
