"A Real Rain" -- Gideon, Hotchner and their team investigate a series of killings that appear to be the work of a vigilante, on a rebroadcast of CRIMINAL MINDS, on a special night and time, Tuesday, Oct. 17 (10:00-11:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network. Gloria Muzio directed the episode from a script written by Chris Mundy. (Originally broadcast 3/22/06)

At first, the murders taking place in Manhattan seem random, but then the NYPD begins to fear that the serial killer is copying the infamous "Son of Sam." When the Behavioral Analysis Unit is brought in to help with the case, they discover a link between the victims that leads them to a vigilante taking revenge on criminals let go by the justice system.
