S1E06: Serial Murder at a Distance 2 November 2005 Directed by Ernest R. Dickerson Writing credits Jeff Davis (creator) Andrew Wilder Reprinted from: http://post.baidu.com/f?kz=107853493 Case review: This case took place in Des Plaines (a city in Illinois, Illinois), where UNSUB is known as LDSK (Long Distance Serial Killers). He fired at the target from a great distance and was difficult to detect afterwards. When BAU took over, he had committed three crimes in two weeks, in parking lots, community centers and parks - all in public places. There were a total of six victims, one in the first case, two in the second, and three in the third, and no connection between the six was found. All but the first victim survived because one of the hallmarks of UNSUB's crime was the non-lethal belly where the shot was shot. BAU is facing a very tricky case as there are no witnesses and no physical evidence. And it has to be said that, before taking on the case, Reid was frustrated that he was forced to surrender his gun after failing his shooting exam. BAU first visited the hospital. Because the bullets used by UNSUB are naturally broken after shooting, the police cannot collect complete bullets for ballistic comparison after the incident. The only full bullet left from the three attacks was stuck in the spine of one of the victims. BAU hopes to use this only physical evidence as a breakthrough in the case. But the hospital did not agree to do this operation, because it may lead to paralysis of the patient. But soon a surgeon named Barry Landman caught the team's attention. He was very arrogant, interrupted from time to time, and even refused to shake anyone's hand, but he said with great confidence that the operation was safe for good doctors. As a result, he actually took out the bullet himself, and the patient was safe. Garcia conducted a ballistic comparative analysis of the bullet, and the results showed that using this M16 bullet for long-distance shooting requires high shooting skills. From this, BAU infers that UNSUB is likely to have experience in the military. Plus three shootings were picked at 2:55-3:00 pm Between 15 and 15—this is the shift time of the police, the time when the police on the street are the most relaxed, and the prime time to commit crimes—BAU speculates that UNSUB is likely to be a policeman. But another question puzzled the team: what was UNSUB's purpose in doing this, apparently deliberately targeting the victim's abdomen rather than the other deadly parts? At this time, there was another shooting at a roadside coffee shop, a total of three victims, all still received non-fatal shooting, the case was only 48 hours after the previous incident. Obviously, the presence of the FBI and the media's rendering further stimulated UNSUB's desire to commit crimes. In order to prevent the crime from escalating rapidly, JJ had to block all news about the case from the media. Gideon decided to ask the police to help simulate the third shooting in the park, in order to better understand how UNSUB works. Just halfway through the simulation exercise, news from a TV station revealed that the murderer was likely to be a policeman. On the one hand, it gave the team members a headache, and on the other hand, it provided them with an excellent suspect-the only person who revealed the news to the media could be a policeman who had participated in an internal meeting. From that newscaster's mouth, BAU got a phone number. Garcia's tracking showed that the owner of the phone, Scott McCarty, was in the park for the mock exercise. And most importantly, McCarty plays the role of UNSUB hiding in a car in the distance. He could shoot at any time. Police immediately called SWAT. In order not to make McCarty feel abnormal, Hotch notified all the team members in the dangerous area one by one, and everything was going on in secret. The SWAT slowly surrounded McCarty's car, and after they threw smoke grenades, the team quickly took cover behind nearby cover. McCarty emerged from the car slowly, and SWAT handcuffed him. Just then, a bullet from a distance hit him between the eyebrows, killing McCarty on the spot. The case is deadlocked again. Apparently this shot in the middle of the forehead heralded an escalation in crime. At this time, Garcia's phone call provided everyone with a new idea. She told everyone that all crime scenes were within a certain range with the hospital as the center. According to experience, there is a class of criminals known as "hero murderers" homicide), they kill to save them again, which explains why UNSUB opted for non-lethal abdominal shots. And such offenders are usually arrogant and disrespectful, and feel that they are better than everyone else. At this point, everyone thought of Barry Landman, the skilled surgeon who had been in contact with them. On the way to the hospital, Garcia provides detailed personal information about Landman. He used to be in the military, worked as a special forces doctor, and was demoted just last month, most likely because of bad relationships. Everything is eligible. But after seeing Landman at the hospital, the team quickly discovered the doubts: Landman's car was a sports car, which did not match their profile. Sports cars are not suitable for long-range shooting. What's more, Landman's colleagues provided him with an alibi at the time of the crime. Gideon doesn't think it's Landman, because another feature of "heroic murderers" is that he doesn't get the respect he deserves in real life, so he uses this criminal method to regain his self-confidence, and Landman's career is quite successful. On the other hand, Hotch has gotten another name by carefully describing the characteristics of the murderer to a doctor: Hillip Dowd - a male nurse who attended military school for 6 years but was expelled for failing to pass, and then faked his resume as 9. The month police were also found and fired. This person's working hours also meet the conditions for committing the crime. Just as Reid was about to report to Gideon, the Dowd came out with a gun and kidnapped Hotch and Reid. Dowd tied their hands in front of him and asked them to hand over their guns, and on the occasion, Reid kind of joked that he didn't have a gun because he didn't pass the shooting test. Then Hotch said that you're going to kill me anyway, can you let me beat this kid first because I'm his shooting coach and it's been annoying him for a long time. Dowd, apparently interested in watching one FBI fight another, agreed. So Hotch kicked Reid over, then kicked him hard in the stomach. But as we all know, Hotch has another gun strapped to his foot. Outside the door, Gideon is buying time for Hotch, who he believes must be capable of handling the scene. And once the police opened fire on Hotch and Reid, it was dangerous. The local police obviously didn't believe it. Just as they were counting down 54321 to break in, Reid accurately shot Dowd between the eyebrows. The team members finally heard Hotch's voice at ease: Hold your fire! It's all clear! a condition of it." (The absurdity of a thing is not that it is impossible for him to exist, but that the conditions of his existence cannot be achieved - Nietzsche) Shakespeare wrote, "Nothing is so common as the wish to be remarkable."( There is nothing more mundane than wishing for the extraordinary - Shakespeare) Classic passages: 1. Morgan's phone rings. Morgan: Yeah. Morgan. Garcia: Isn't this spooky? Morgan: Isn't what spooky? Garcia : That right now you were thinking about me, and out of the blue your phone rings? And it's me. Huh? How's that for a spiritual connection? That's when the phone rang, and that's me! Huh? That's the soulmate - scary, right?) Morgan: Um... do I know you? (Uh...you typed it wrong?) Garcia: Why do you hurt me? Reid: Look at me. Without a gun on my belt, I look like a teacher's assistant. 3. After everything is settled, Hotch goes to Reid. Hotch: Nice shot. Reid: I was aiming for his leg.
