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.
