Criminal Minds (2005–…): Season 1, Episode 21 - Secrets and Lies - full transcript

Come on. Let's go. In here.

Everything is going to be okay.

I have to meet a friend,
someone who will help us.

We've got to get out of here now.

You promised
you would protect my children!

That's exactly what I'm doing.
Just get in the car, please.

- We have to move.
- You promised you would keep us safe.

And I will, but you got to trust me
one more time.

Come on, kids. Let's go.

Everybody in. Aaliyah. Aaliyah.

Everybody in?



You'll never find her.

I knew it had to be you.

I see the paper reported
the death of our mutual friend.

I'll wait for your call.

You catch him?

Only after he drowned eight women.

- Sick bastard.
- He was.

As of three days ago,
John Summers wasn't.

Is that why you called me?

He was stressed, exhausted, a little
paranoid, maybe, but not suicidal.

I signed him off as fit for duty.

So you did, and so he was.

- Wasn't suicide, was it?
- The papers say it was.

Investigation too messy,
made it look like suicide.



Now, that is a mess.

This, that's just cleaning house.

So why do you look like crap?

You know, you know me too well.

It was only the people in my unit
that knew that John Summers was CIA,

and my bosses believe
that someone in my team

was the one who had him killed.

We want to know who and why.

- A mole in Langley.
- It looks that way.

And I'm not high enough on the
food chain to dodge the bullet on this.

No, no, Jason, no, you know the rules.

No judge, no jury.
This is strictly in-house.

- You want my help?
- Yeah.

I need my team.

Albert Einstein said,

"Whoever undertakes
to set himself up as judge

"in the field of truth and knowledge

"is shipwrecked
by the laughter of the Gods."

We have a CIA escort, okay?
It's weird and a little scary.

What do you suppose this is all about?

Call me cynical, but considering
it's 2:00 am, I doubt it's good news.

You are a genius.

The CIA's counterterrorism unit is engaged

in a mission to save
one of its informants.

They suspect
one of their agents is a mole,

and until the identity
of that mole is discovered,

they've locked down the unit.

This gives us the opportunity to profile
the UnSub up close. Go ahead.

Start the video feed.

John Summers was the CIA's
best field agent in the Middle East.

Three nights ago he was found
in his home in Washington.

He'd been tortured and murdered.

- CIA made it look like suicide.
- How'd you like to have that job?

Guys, look at the wound patterns.

They come from two distinct angles.
Different heights.

One's right-handed and one's left-handed.

Looks to me like he was tortured
by more than two people.

Hotch, what was Summers working on?

Aaliyah Nadir. Had been beaten
and sexually assaulted

at the hands of her husband, Hassan Nadir.

That's how Summers flipped her
and got her to work for the CIA.

And what's the husband's story?

He's a diplomat for the Saudi government,

but he's a fundraiser
for major terrorist organizations.

Aaliyah gave Summers intelligence

on terrorist organizations the CIA
had never been able to penetrate,

organizations Hassan, her husband,
funneled money to.

- And Hassan realized he had a leak?
- Yes, but he didn't know who.

For Aaliyah's protection, Summers
never revealed her identity to the CIA

until about eight weeks ago.

CIA arranged papers for her

and Summers brought her and her children
to the US about a month ago.

Only Summers knew where he hid her.

What did Hassan think
happened to his family?

Car accident.
Bodies too disfigured to identify.

Only the CIA knew it was staged

until Hassan arrived in Washington
last week under diplomatic cover.

Only someone in this unit
could have given Hassan

the information about his family.

And now he's here looking for her.
Why us?

Over the years, I've conducted
psychological evaluations

on every field agent in that unit.

- You work for the CIA?
- Not officially.

The train's running and if we stop
this mission, even for a second,

Aaliyah and her children
are as good as dead.

Everything is going to be okay.
We'll be out of here soon.

He's going to come back for us.

We just all have to be very brave.

Close your eyes. Try to sleep.

Don't remove your firearm.

- US soil. Federal building.
- Just your cell phones. Non-negotiable.

The moment we walk in there,

the UnSub's going to know
we got him cornered.

We don't hand jack over.

Whoa.

Hey.

Special Agent Hotchner.

Oh, I know who you are,
and your team, too.

I've got the personnel files
all set up for you guys.

Video, whatnot,
it's all there in the conference room.

Now, if you have any questions,
feel free to talk to my senior officers.

This is Gina Sanchez. She's the
Associate Director of Field Operations.

And that guy up there is Kruger Spence,

the Assistant Director of Operations.

The lady with him is his
second-in-command, Olivia Hopkins.

And, uh, thank you for coming.

- You never mentioned Bruno Hawks.
- You never asked.

How long have you
unofficially been working for CIA?

Long enough to know who
and what we're dealing with.

If I may ask, sir,
I don't know your name.

Nathan. The thing that
I don't get is, our team's there.

Why can't we go to Langley?

Do I look like a threat
to national security to you, seriously?

Your name is on a list.

A list? What list?
I work for the FBI,

and you're telling me I'm on a list
that says I can't go to the CIA?

You're on a list.

Uh, Garcia?

- You do know what this means?
- What?

We'll be able to find out

whether Princess Diana's death
was really an accident.

I think that's exactly the kind of thing
that got you on their list.

Okay, we have the full roster of all
the players here, including Summers.

How many in total?

In Bruno's department, 22.

Twenty-one and 22
are here with us in the room.

What if it's one of them?

We're looking for what the CIA
classifies a Type A personality.

Overachiever. Highly adaptable.
Well-educated. Virtually unshakable.

Manipulative enough to persuade
a loyal foreign national

to betray their country,
a wife to betray her husband.

Most importantly,
this UnSub long ago accepted

the reality they will be
summarily executed if caught.

Life means nothing to this UnSub.

Not his own life, not his family's,
not his colleagues',

certainly not ours,
and certainly not theirs.

One of those agents turned against
everything they believe in. Why?

Well, they stopped believing.
Maybe it was about ideology.

We need to find the stressor.
A major event that caused them to turn.

Love. Revenge. Economics. Ideology.

The intelligence community's mantra says,

"Increase the parameter
of your enemies' paranoia."

Right now, we're the enemy.

Whatever you see or are told,
please trust no one but me.

Gideon, you're going to want
to take a look at this surveillance video.

- What is it?
- Uh, it's you.

It's your name next to
a whole slew of MPEGs.

There's one that says "John Summers."

It's three hours long.

Shoot, go.

- When was this?
- Three days before he was killed.

- Who called this meeting?
- Does that matter?

Every detail matters.

- Why?
- It can only be one of four people.

Why is that important?

Whoever requested this wanted
more than just an eval from you.

- Did you know they were filming you?
- I assumed they were.

Taking in all factors discussed,
age, rank and field status,

and if you eliminate all non-field agents,

we're left with a total of 16 candidates.

All of whom are in this unit.

Well, we have to assume
the mole has an exit strategy.

Only now we're blocking the exit,
and the only way out is through us.

Now, we all know why BAU are here.
They have their job and we have ours.

And we're down to the wire on this.

Aaliyah Nadir risked everything,

and now she and her children deserve
our fullest attention. Let's find her.

- Agent Gideon.
- It's good to see you again.

- You're not a very good liar.
- I wasn't lying.

Your evaluation took me out of the field.

I simply wrote the truth.

You're highly intelligent.
You're impossibly strong-willed

and there's going to come a time
when you can't follow orders.

- It hasn't happened yet.
- It will.

You're wrong.

We think the agent
who's tipping off Hassan

may have had some kind of
extreme event in their life.

Something that distorted
or redefined their belief system.

No, every agent undergoes
regular psych evals. You know that.

They're trained to cope
with extreme events.

Well, whatever turned this agent,
you can't train for.

Well, you're welcome to everything I have.

Every op undertaken by these guys
is on file.

What about the ones that aren't on file,
like the wiretaps of the Saudi Embassy?

Those don't even exist.

How long has your department been
running operations in Riyadh?

We have a declared presence in Riyadh

monitoring US interests there.
You know that.

Now, if that's all,
I have an informant to save.

Hey, guys,
take a look at something.

Right there.

That's a woman sitting
in the passenger seat of that car.

- Looks a lot like Aaliyah.
- Why would he leave them in the car,

unless he knew he was being videotaped?

- Who called this meeting?
- Does that matter?

Every detail matters.

- Why?
- It can only be one of four people.

That's not true.

Anyone in this division
could have insisted upon an eval.

Why narrow it down to four?

Well, he rightly suspected

Hassan came to the US
because he knew his wife was alive.

And that someone in this agency
was working for Hassan.

If we don't discover
who the mole is before they find her,

she and the kids are dead.

- Garcia.
- Right here, boss.

How many agents
in this unit were actually

in Saudi monitoring US interests?

Four.

Let me guess.

Bruno Hawks, Gina Sanchez,
Olivia Hopkins and Kruger Spence.

Four-for-four.

- See what else is on the tape.
- All right.

John Summers would have
only trusted seasoned agents,

of which, in this unit,
there are only four.

So he guessed that the mole had to
have been one of his four bosses.

Before he put in for Aaliyah's extraction,

he wanted to know which one not to ask.

We need to match up with them,
one-on-one.

Kruger Spence,
Assistant Director of Operations.

Recruited at the age of 18
after graduating from MIT.

It says here
he had six years' experience

as a weapons system designer
and an IQ of 197.

He butted up against the system
and didn't deal with authority

and they moved him
into field operations in China

for eight years
before transferring him here.

Olivia Hopkins.
Divorced mother of two.

She spent nine years
in field operations in Europe.

She also visited Riyadh with Kruger.

I got Gina Sanchez.
West Point graduate.

Black belt in two martial arts.

Served in Iraq doing psychological
operations with military intelligence.

She joined the CIA five years ago.

Speaks three languages, including Arabic.

Bruno Hawks.
Deputy Director of Operations,

extensive field ops
in the Middle East and Europe.

Did his military service
with Jason Gideon.

One thing I've learned over the years
profiling CIA agents,

spies are some of the smartest liars
in the world.

Be smarter.

I'm thirsty.

Drink.

Share the last of it with your sister.

It's okay. He can have it.
I'm not even that thirsty.

Well, we can't circulate a photo of
a woman who's supposed to be dead.

I realize that, but...

Look, I appreciate you have a job to do,
but so do I.

All right, start looking at where Aaliyah
would feel the most comfortable.

Arab-populated areas...

Actually, you might want to start
by profiling Summers.

Be my guest.

Aaliyah is about to be brutally
murdered in front of her children.

Got nothing? Okay.

Where were we?
All right, let's put some teams together.

Summers was obsessed
with his own security.

Aren't we all?

He didn't care about money
or possession or family.

All he cared about was his job.

He was a classic control freak.
A meticulous paranoid.

A loner who chose to live
outside the community.

In an environment that he could control.

All right, all right, so he would have
placed Aaliyah outside the community,

in an environment that only he
could control and have access to.

Maybe. On the other hand, he might...

All right, all right. New deal.

I want you to search the area
surrounding Summers' apartment.

We're looking for industrial sites,
storage spaces, warehouses.

That's good. Thanks.

I don't think I could have a job where
I had to sit and talk to people all day.

Okay, wait a minute,
it's not all psychobabble. Trust me.

- I get my fair share of action.
- I'm sure you do.

Here's something
you might find interesting.

Joystick, come around 30 degrees,
15 by 13 north.

Zoom in two miles.

Wait a minute.

That looks like my neighborhood.

That is my neighborhood.
That's my house and that's my bike.

You have a dog.

Yeah, yeah, I got a dog.
That's Clooney.

Well, it looks like
Clooney's on the couch.

Okay, so you know where I live.
I like that.

- You also knew where Summers lived.
- That's my job.

Your job to make it look like suicide?

You stood over the dead body
of a friend and a colleague,

you stuck a shotgun in his mouth,
and you pulled the trigger?

Yep.

Must take a psychological toll, no?

Let's get one thing clear.

We all write a letter
just like the one Summers wrote.

A suicide note?

That doesn't mess with your mind
just a little bit?

I'm neither disillusioned or confused

about what I am,
what I do or what I have done.

Somebody here is. Why else
would they rat out their own people?

You'll have to ask them.

CIA looks a lot like the FBI.

This is a real boys' club.
Must be tough being a woman here.

Get to the point, Agent.

Divorced, lost custody of your kids.
That didn't help your career, huh?

- Are you interrogating me?
- Just questions.

- You want answers, look in my file.
- I did.

During an operation in Europe
you were taken hostage.

- For which I received counselling.
- But it didn't help.

Your marriage busted up pretty quickly.

How does this help you?

It would take a major event

for someone to turn against
their country, don't you think?

A major event like what?

Like one that's not in any file.

What happened to you over there?

Did they attack you?
Did they rape you?

Olivia!

That's enough.
This is in violation of her civil rights.

Until they find the sleeper and we find
Aaliyah, all rights are revoked.

Where were you on the night
that Summers was murdered?

I was with her in her apartment.

Well, you're a married man.

At some point you must have left
to get back to your wife, right?

- You wake to an empty bed?
- Yes, I did.

Are we done here?

My wife will testify
that I arrived home at 1:30 am.

We all know
none of this'll ever reach a court.

Look, if you want to arrest us
for having an affair, be my guest.

I'll deal with you two later.

- Olivia...
- Don't.

Riyadh, 2003.

When I saw the CCTV monitors
were down and Olivia hadn't returned,

I thought
I'd better come looking for her.

Have any agents seen the body?

Good.

We can use this to our advantage.
Get the others.

What? What's going on?

What are we doing here?

You're pulling us away
from our assignments?

There's a woman out there
whose life depends on us.

Where's Olivia?

Olivia Hopkins
was murdered 10 minutes ago.

Her neck was snapped.

Just like John Summers.

What are you talking about?

You're lying. Where is she?

Look, people don't just get murdered
inside the CIA.

What are you looking at?

I realize the enormity of this,

but Hassan Nadir is still out there
looking to kill his wife,

and I need every agent on this.

What do you think it would take
for somebody to betray their country?

If I knew that, you wouldn't be here.

Or is this the part where you profile me?

I've done that for over 20 years
and for free.

What'd you come up with?

Well, you don't smile
as much as you used to,

but the Rogaine's working.

You need to quit your day job.

You've strived your entire life
just to seek the approval of your father.

Obsessively tried not to make
the same mistakes he made.

The emotional cost
wipes the smile off your face.

You know, my kids, they don't even
know who or what their father really is.

But they know there's absolutely
nothing you wouldn't do for them.

Who says, you know, our kids
need to know everything about us?

Trust me, we're not that interesting.

Who do you think it is?

I'm so close to it, Jason,
I honestly can't tell.

But I will say this, I'm glad you're here.

You feeling okay?

I mean, you lost two of your people.
Two colleagues. Two friends.

I've lost plenty of those along the way.

I just feel pissed off.

Someone is going to pay dearly
for what they've done.

You lined us all up to see how
we'd react to Olivia's death.

- What did you see?
- You stared straight at Kruger

like you were trying to deflect blame
onto someone else.

You are wasting precious time.
Time she doesn't have.

Now, unless you having something
useful to ask, we're trying to save lives.

So are we.

Patch her through. It's for you.

Garcia?

- Hey.
- Hey, talk to me.

- That virus that knocked out the CCTV.
- Yeah, what about it?

It was downloaded into the system
three weeks ago.

By who?

Just because I lied about Olivia
doesn't make me the mole.

No, but the virus that took out
the CCTV monitors does.

It originated from your computer.

Then whoever put it in my computer
is trying to frame me.

Olivia was looking for something.
She didn't find a thing. You know why?

Because all of your files
have been erased.

Do you really think if I was the mole,

I would keep files
that would incriminate me?

Those files were erased
to make me look guilty.

Looks like it's working.

Morgan, your girlfriend's back.

Garcia, it's Morgan. Go.

Hey, listen, that virus left a back door
into the CIA mainframe.

Yeah, so?

So I sort of went ahead
and used it to find out

who ordered John Summers'
psych eval with Gideon.

- Who was it?
- Well, that's what's so weird.

- Who, Garcia, who?
- John Summers.

Summers? Why would he order
his own evaluation?

So we'd ask that question ourselves.

Guys, we missed something on that tape.

We better figure out what it was before
Hassan's friend in here beats us to it.

I have to find some water, okay?

No.

If Mr. Summers comes back before I do,
you tell him to wait for me.

Do not come looking for Mummy.

Whatever happens, you're safe here.

Promise me, do not leave here.

You both promise?

I promise.

Presidents come, presidents go.

One thing always remains:
the people that run those presidents.

People like you?

Me? No.

No, no, I'm an expendable pawn,
but I got wise to their game.

Game? What game?

Battleship.

I'm the ship at sea.
They try to sink me.

- How do you cope?
- Compartmentalization.

Separate and seal every aspect of my life.

How does that work?

One part of the hull is compromised,
the rest of the hull remains intact.

I stay afloat.

And what about a direct hit?

Then I have a box
that I put the really important things in,

a sort of insurance policy.

- Against what?
- Sudden death.

Keep it safe from those
who appear to be friends.

He was trying to tell you
about the mole.

If they were following Summers,

how come they don't know
where Summers put Aaliyah?

You couldn't follow Summers
through a desert. He was that good.

So they followed you.

So Summers must have known
they'd be filming him.

They always are. Smile.

Garcia, let's review the tape again.

He sure likes boats.

He refers to compartmentalizing
his life like the hull of a ship.

Yeah, and then he talks about a box.

And putting something inside the box
as an insurance policy.

He was telling Gideon
how to find Aaliyah.

Summers' cover in Saudi
was for a shipping company.

Okay, um, what about a shipping container?

- That's a box. That's a big box.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.

The only shipping port near
Summers' apartment in Baltimore,

it's north up the I-95 from Langley.

Garcia, I love you.

Garcia?

- What happened?
- Someone just hacked into this feed.

I think we just found out
where Aaliyah is.

But so did someone else.

Stand over there.

I can have a chopper on the roof
fueled and ready in two minutes.

Yeah, but there are
thousands of containers at that port.

What makes you so sure
Aaliyah's in one of those containers?

Why don't we send in a SWAT team?
Split them up.

Have them search in grids.

Why? Because Hassan has diplomatic
immunity, this mission can't exist.

It's not Gina.

Morgan, take Gina with you.

Wait, this is my command.
These are my people.

We have jurisdiction here, and
there's nothing you can do to stop us.

This is my career on the line here.

You always trusted me, right?
Trust me now.

Come with us.

This is crazy. Bruno.

Go. Go, go, go.

Use the thermal imaging.
Search every container for body heat.

You can walk us in
and direct us when we get there.

Green, Adams, Duncan, come with me.

Jason, you better be certain about this.

I am.

Well, so convince me.

We see it all the time in suspects
who've killed their loved ones.

They try to immediately shift the focus
away from themselves.

There's often an emotional detachment

in the way the statement was constructed.

Kruger betrayed his wife, betrayed Olivia.

After all that betrayal,
his country was easy.

Excuse me, sorry.

Gideon.

You were right.

Right, but too late.

Hassan has beaten us to it.

Don't hurt them. It was me.

- Hurt them?
- It was all my fault!

- Don't hurt my babies.
- Hurt them? I buried them!

I buried you!

Look at this. You see?

You betrayed me.

You took my children away from me.
Why?

Do what you want to me!

Gina and Morgan
will arrive in three minutes.

They're somewhere
on the east side of this port.

You guys, take that area over there.
Morgan, let's go.

Don't make me do this.

What did you tell them?

Can't you people see what's going on?

All this was part of their plan and
now Hassan is going to kill Aaliyah.

This is our one and only offer.

Consider it carefully before you respond.

What do you say?

Look, if this is some kind of a trick,
I'm not buying it.

You're going to have to do
better than that. I am not the mole.

This is crazy, Gina.
We're just running in circles.

Reid,

come on, man, help us out here.
Give me something.

A hundred meters southwest
of your current location.

Let's go. Let's go back.
Come on, let's go back.

Look, we can't arrest him. This is still
a CIA matter. You do know that?

How are you explaining this
to the Saudi government?

Explain what?
This isn't happening.

Let's just get
Aaliyah and her children back alive.

We'll worry about Hassan's life after.

- Morgan?
- Yeah, talk to me.

They're right in front of you.

Make the arrest, Morgan.
It's FBI jurisdiction.

You're in charge.

Okay. Wait a minute. Wait a minute.
I think we found something.

Easy, easy, easy, easy does it.

FBI!

Let the lady go and put the gun down.
I said, put down the gun!

Diplomatic immunity, my friend.

Uh-uh.
You got it wrong, my friend.

This container
hasn't passed through customs.

Officially, we're not on US soil.
Summers was a smart man.

That he was.

Drop the gun.

Morgan.

Morgan, what's going on?

You still certain
that Gina isn't the mole?

Morgan.

Morgan, what's going on?

Gideon, we got a situation here.

Gina, don't do this.
Gina, don't do this.

I don't take orders from you.
Bruno, what do you want me to do?

- Cover their eyes. Cover their eyes.
- Please, please stop this.

Bruno?

You know what to do.

- Say it.
- It's not your call.

I told you from the start,
this was strictly in-house.

This is not your call.

- Gina, what are you waiting for?
- An order.

Finish him.

- Finish him.
- Gina, don't do this.

You're going to cut the visual feed,
right, Bruno?

Of course.

Cut it, now. Cut it!

I want to thank you, Jason,
for your help.

Why?

Why'd you turn
against everything you believe in?

What are you talking about?

When someone asks you how you feel
about losing one of your colleagues,

the only human answer is,
"I feel guilty," isn't it?

But as you so brilliantly deduced,
Kruger Spence is the guilty one.

Ridiculous.

Absurd.

The only thing that's absurd
is your arrogance

to believe you could get away with this.

Unfortunately, with Hassan now dead,
you have no proof.

You're going to be all right.

Sorry about that.
I had to find out if I was right.

How'd you know it was Bruno?

Because Agent Gideon believed in me,

and there isn't a reason in the world
to kill a man

who knows as much as Hassan does.

Except one.

The same one that made
Bruno and Hassan kill Summers.

Self-preservation.

- Looks like Gideon was right.
- Yes, it does.

Actually, Hassan is alive and well.

He's en route.
That's all the proof we'll need.

You are a fool if you think they're going
to put me in prison with all that I know.

- Why'd you have to kill Olivia?
- Economics.

Olivia was looking into your financial
records when you snapped her neck.

So she knew your dirty little secret.

Which one? I have so many.

You were looking to cash out using Hassan.

Mmm-hmm.

$20 million from Hassan
will go a very long way

to helping occupy my mind
on a beach somewhere.

The only beach you'll see is on a
postcard I send you from my vacation.

Let me have your gun.

You know, I think the consequences
of what you're doing to me, my friend,

are going to be
a lot harder to live with than you think.

All right, we'll see you guys later,
all right?

We should do this again sometime.
Okay?

Jerks.

Come on, come on. Quick. Quick.
I know you're in here.

What are you doing?

I'm looking for
Prince William's phone number.

The CIA is bound to have it.

Oh, Garcia, come on.

Yup. Here it is.

- No way.
- Yes, way. Get me a pen.

- I need a pen. Give me a pen.
- What? No, Garcia, no.

- I need this pen. I need a pen!
- Penelope...
