You win, you live. You lose, I kill your daughter, and I kill you. Understand?
~ John Vincent Bell forcing Ben McBride to fight a homeless man to the death.

John Vincent Bell is the main antagonist of the Criminal Minds episode "The Fight". He is a serial killer and kidnapper who holds fathers and their daughter's hostage and forces the fathers to fight homeless men to the death, threatening to kill the daughters if they refuse.

He was portrayed by Jason Brooks.

His Evil Ranking[]

What makes him Close to Pure Evil?[]

  • Beat a social service agent to death and beat the other one when they came to take his daughter for not being a fit parent.
  • In prison, he attempted to get the prisoners to fight him to the death, when that didn't work, assaulted several guards and attempted to ask them to do the same.
  • Being released from prison, he started his specific M.O. of kidnapping a father and a daughter, 4 homeless men, forcing 2 vagrants to fight to the death, forcing the father to fight the vagrants to the death, blackmailing the mothers with snuff films of executed one of the homeless man, and later, officially murdering the father and daughter before killing the mother, with him claiming the lives of 12 (Not counting the episodes murders)
    • Not only would he execute the homeless man who won, showing no honor, but he chained the husband and daughter for days, and even shot the vagrants with rubber bullets to get them in line.
  • Abducted Ben McBride and his daughter, Jane, chaining them to a pole and forcing the father to fight one homeless man until knockout, whom he executed later. In something he supposedly never did, took a picture of himself and Jane and then forced Ben to beat one of the victims to death or he would kill Jane.
  • Being convinced to take Jane, he ran with her on the streets and held her hostage in a red cell and BAU confrontation.
  • In a final plan, he jumped off a wall in a fake suicide, but he was truly alive and attempted to shoot Emily Prentiss, but only to be stopped by being shot by Sam Cooper.

What prevents him from being Pure Evil?[]

  • While his Freudian excuse is no longer valid, he still loves his family, even willingly sparing Jane McBride after being convinced that killing her would be betraying his daughter and wife.
