Episode Summary

In Dallas, the BAU team investigates a series of shootings with diverse victims, linked by the same .357 Magnum left at each scene. They uncover a disturbing pattern: individuals are being coerced into killing to save their kidnapped loved ones. The mastermind, Richard Stahl, is driven by his traumatic past and a desire to inflict pain. He manipulates his victims, including a coerced shooter, Dale Dixon, and a desperate husband, Martin Malek. The team races against time, unraveling Stahl's sadistic game and confronting him in a tense standoff.
