The BAU travels to New York City to investigate a series of murders that appear to have been committed by a vigilante who is exacting revenge on other criminals who have been released by the justice system.

It looks like one person feels he has enough of the system that, on his opinion, does not put criminals away and let them walk - and so he starts to kill them.
We have very exciting, dark, and mysterious episode what starts first like some weird murders but soon turns into the killer who does cops job. And the public reaction what they showed - how some really liked it and felt safer - it's irony.. And I like they managed to bring out two sides.
Also, I liked the way BAU team had to work as they could not rule out that someone from police may be behind it..
This was a great episode that could possibly provoke people's mind. hide show
This was a very good episode and it really puts the the question, "Is it okay?" in your mind. Can we approve for someone to kill those who have done bad in their life? The way I see it is that if we took a life for a life then there wouldn't be anyone around. I especially like this episode because of two great ending quotes from Gandhi. He's been my role model and though I might not be the best person that follows his role, he continues to inspire me. I especially appreciated his quote, "I object to violence because when it appears to do good, the good is only temporary; the evil it does is permanent."
I really liked this episode...a lot. I thought the profile was done veyr well and I liked the New York City type of setting that they had in this episode. When it got close to the end and the man shot the guy in Central Park, I thought I was going to be rating this episode a 5 after the guy gave himself up like that. But once the profilers were able to figure out that the man who shot the cop wasnt really the guy, the episode once again became one of the best in series history. I think this episode ranks up there in the top five in Criminal Minds history, just becuase of how great the profile turned out to be. One of my favorite episodes without a doubt. I hope the first season ends as well as it has been going so far.
A great team episode in every sense of the word. hide show
Excellent plot, great unsub, and dramatic twists. In this one you get a great sense of the development of the profile and how it changes with each new piece of evidence the team finds. Having Ethan Phillips as the unsub was beautiful casting - talk about someone who fits the “overlook-able” profile! Add to that a taste of character development for Gideon and Hotch with a case from their past that Hotch just can’t seem to shake. It seems that it isn’t only Gideon who is affected by the kind of work these guys do.
I love it when the team works together. Each one contributed to catching this unsub, each one went over evidence, helped give the profile, and had some important contribution to make to the investigation. Even the two characters that usually get the least screen time – Garcia and JJ – have real roles in this episode and take their places as real parts of the team.
I love it when the team plays together. The scene in the Chinese restaurant was classic: the family sits around the dinner table and talks about their day. The siblings make fun of the little brother who can’t eat with chopsticks and Dad’s question about Elle’s personal life gets ignored. It’s so great to see them outside of the office actually having a bit of fun together. The only way it could have been better was to get Garcia up there.
I could hardly watch the end sequence!!! hide show
The end of this episode is In-teeence!! I could barely watch it. But, I don't know if any of you have this season on DVD, but they changed the ending song. At the very end when they zoom out and you see the ambulence and police cars and people everywhere. On the air they used Jeff Buckley's song, Hallelujah. The song they use to replace it on the DVD is by a indie guy out of nashville, Ben Cooper. He's great, you can hear some more music at www.myspace.com/cooper. It's a great song and a great replacement for Jeff Buckley.
