 文本：

Garcia: An explosion happened at a beanery brew¹ house in Indianapolis earlier this morning.

Hotchner: First responders are reporting 6 deaths, 16 wounded.

JJ: Brave guy.

Morgan: Anyone claimed responsibility?

Garcia: Not yet.

Hotchner: No, but Indianapolis P.D. believes it may be related to a bomb that went off in an elementary school last week.

Garcia: Yeah. That was relatively² low yield. It claimed the life of Morton Truby. He was a custodian³ working graveyard⁴ shift. Authorities found traces of TNT.

Hotchner: Until today they thought it was an isolated⁵ incident.

Kate: Could this be another Boston or Oklahoma City?

JJ: Beanery is a popular chain, exactly the type of location a domestic terrorist would target.

Rossi: The unsub wants everyone looking over their shoulder.

JJ: And we also shouldn't rule out a disgruntled employee or fundamental groups.

Hotchner: At this point we can't rule anything out. Let's move.

Morgan: TNT doesn't pack much bang for its buck⁶. It'd be pretty hard to hide the amount needed to cause the damage to that coffee house.

Reid: This feels like page 118. “The Anarchist⁷ Cookbook” “TNT for dummies”. The blast at school seems rudimentary. It may have been the unsub's testing ground.

Rossi: The coffee house could indicate a drastic escalation⁸.

Reid: The book also teaches you to make nitroglycerin and a coffee shop could represent a steep learning curve.

JJ: So this guy is either quick on his feet or both blasts were part of a sophisticated plan.

Kate: In that case, we can't be certain that the coffee house is this guy's finale.

Hotchner: Yeah, which is why the plane's been ready. We can be in Indianapolis in two hours.
