Penelope Garcia:
San Bernadino, California. Two home invasions in less than a week, only a block apart. Exact same M.O. Both houses were burgled, power and phone lines cut, and they broke in through a back window.

Dr. Spencer Reid:
And in each case, the entire family was shot and killed?

Penelope Garcia:
Yes, that is right. I present to you the Mitchells and the Lewis families.

David Rossi:
They took out the power and phones to isolate them. Their alarm systems wouldn't work and they can't call for help.

Dr. Spencer Reid:
Most modern alarm systems have a backup generator and a cell phone connection to the security company.

Penelope Garcia:
Yeah, but the Mitchells had an older system, and the Lewises were behind on their account, so it was inactive.

Jennifer Jareau:
An assailant was killed in each case?

Penelope Garcia:
Affirmative, but the sheriff hasn't IDed them yet.

Emily Prentiss:
So both families were armed and fought back and shot one of their attackers.

Derek Morgan:
Is that a coincidence or a connection?

Aaron Hotchner:
What concerns me is the frequency of the kills.

Jennifer Jareau:
Only four days apart.

Aaron Hotchner:
All right. It's a long flight. We'd better get going. Wheels up in thirty.
