Criminal Minds (2005–…): Season 10, Episode 23 - The Hunt - full transcript

When Kate's niece and her best friend Markayla are kidnapped, the BAU suspects an online predator engaged in sex trafficking who poses as a teenage boy.

Previously on
“Criminal Minds”...

My sister and brother-in-law
died in 9-11.

They had a baby girl, Meg.

She's 13 and
the light of my life.

I love you, sweet girl.

OMG, he messaged us back.

Bobby's so hot.

He's asking
for a picture.

His mom is gonna pick us up
and he's gonna meet us at the concert.

Hi. You must be Meg
and Markayla.

I'm Paige, Bobby's mom.



Hop in.

You both look great.

Um, Ms. Miller?

I thought the concert
was downtown.

We're meeting Bobby
there, right?

Um, Ms. Miller,
can you stop for a minute?

I think I left something
at the library.

What's going on?

I don't know.

What are you doing?
Let us out!

Aah!
Aah! Markayla!

Oh, my God, Meg!
Let go of me!

Oh!

No! Let go of me!



Help us!

Help!
Ohh...

Although
the observable universe

is continually expanding, there's
really no way of knowing

if the whole thing
is gonna ultimately collapse

into one gargantuan
black hole.

Wow, there's actually something
our little genius doesn't know.

I will tell you
one thing for sure.

My universe
is expanding

and it is pretty
frickin' stormy.

Gotta love nausea
and vertigo.

Which is why
I got you these.

You're the best.

What's up?

I'm not sure. It's Meg.

Have a panic code,
“pepper,” and...

I just got a text
from her saying “pepp.”

Maybe it's just
an accident?

Hey, this is Meg.
Please leave a message.

Damn it.
Straight to voicemail.

Meg still acting out?

Hello.

Hi. Caroline, this is Kate.

Can I talk to Meg?

She's not here.

Markayla told me she was
gonna be working on her...

Science project
at my house.

Dear lord,
what are those two up to?

I don't know, but they
could be in trouble.

Can you just
conference in Markayla?

Uh, sure.

This is Markayla.
You know the drill.

It's going straight
to voicemail. What's going on?

Ok, stay put. I'm gonna have
agents there ASAP.

Agents?

Kate? Kate.

Welcome to the dark forest.

Enter at your own risk.

I'm gonna need you
to track Meg

and her best friend's
cell phones.

Yeah, sure. What's up?

I'm not sure, but I just
sent you the numbers.

Ok, ok. Uh...

It looks like they were
both outside the library,

pinging local towers
up until...

Then the GPS cuts out
a couple blocks away.

Ok, that's weird. We're gonna have to
contact their friends,

check texts, surveillance...

You got it.
You got it.

Reid just filled me in.

Are you sure they didn't
just sneak out?

Meg wouldn't do that.
She knew to only use that code

if her life was in danger.

All right, I'll mobilize
the C.A.R.D. team.

Kate--

Look, I already know
what you're gonna say,

that I'm way too far along
to go out on this case.

You should be at home with Chris
in case you get a call.

That is my kid out there.
I'm not going anywhere. I've got this.

Albert Einstein.

Because of our work,
I created very strict rules for Meg.

That stress code,
it was given for a reason.

Canning, I just sent you
the GPS coordinates

of their last known
position.

Set up neighborhood
canvasses and roadblocks.

On it.
It's not good.

I just got a shot
of the girls, uh,

from a video feed
across the street from the library.

Oh, my God.

Baby girl, capture
that plate right there.

I already did. Searching.

And look at
the time stamp.

I got Meg's text
two minutes later.

Ok, plates are stolen
and I've got no shot of the driver.

Issue the AMBER Alert
with the girls' pictures

and the description
of the van.

Anything in the girls'
email accounts?

This is really
discombobulated.

I've got no text data
or calls

from the cell phone company
servers for either of the girls.

Ok, so whoever took them planned
this and got rid of their texts.

We're still up
in the air about M.O.

Most likely scenario, she was lured
via social networking.

I'll have Facebook
push the AMBER Alert.

All right, JJ, you and Dave
go to the Davises'

and check out Markayla's computer.
You two talk to friends.

And Garcia and I will
come to your house, Kate.

...24 X-ray...

A stranger's van?
That's crazy. Why would Meg to that?

Remember that date she had
with her classmates at the mall?

Yeah, but she was stood up
by Bobby and Tyler.

What if it wasn't real?

Wait,
what do you mean?

Garcia, can you check
Meg and Markayla's class list

for boys named
Bobby and Tyler?

Yeah.

There's no Robert, Bob,
or a Ty either.

See? It was a setup.

So someone's been
stalking our kid?

Your being there
that night saved them.

This can't be happening.

Help the agents with
the missing flyers

and I'm gonna
go through her things.

Yeah, yeah.

Garcia, can you see

if Meg has been emailing
any boys.

Anything missing?

Yeah, something's wrong.

What's Markayla's
relationship with Meg like?

Best friends.
Inseparable.

Do you think someone
kidnapped them?

We don't know yet.

Rossi.

Hey, did Markayla
take her good clothes with her?

Yeah, and some of
her mom's makeup, too.

Meg took her favorite
Jean jacket and boots.

These girls were definitely planning
on meeting boys,

just maybe not the ones
that they thought.

What have you got?

Uh, it's a ghost town.

The hard drives
are wiped clean.

There's no instant messenger
or Skype history.

There's not even
a user name.

Dave, can you turn on Markayla's
computer so Garcia can scan it.

Powering up now.

Ok, I got it.

Zilch on Markayla's, too.
These perps are thoroughly thorough.

Aaron, they took
the two girls at once.

This must be
an abduction team.

How are they?

Resting.

Has he called?

Not yet.

That doesn't
have to stop us

from getting started.

Chris.

What is it?

I need you
to go to the mall

and buy another Jean jacket.

Why?

We're going to use it
for the missing flyers

to show what Meg
was last seen in.

You really think
that'll make a difference?

Yes. We use it
to reconstruct the--

the victim...

Kate. Kate! Kate!

I got you. I got you.

You need to lay down.

Come on.

Sam, did Meg or Markayla
ever mention

talking to anyone new
online?

I'm not sure.

Sam, their lives may be
in great danger.

What do you know?

Markayla met
this really cute guy.

He like her Instagram
pictures.

And when was this?

A few months ago.

She and Meg wouldn't
stop talking about him.

They emailed him
every day.

You know his name?

Bobby, I think.
But I don't know his last name.

Meg kept telling
Markayla to slow down,

but Markayla was
head over heels.

They both were.

You ever seen a picture
of Bobby?

They sent it to me.
I erased my phone.

But I may have saved it
to the cloud.

She's ok. The doctors want
her on bed rest for now.

Kate, you have to be
very careful.

I need to find Meg.

You're no good to anyone
if you pass out.

Garcia will set up
video conferencing.

What? What is it?

Morgan confirmed
that the boy

that Meg and Markayla
went to meet was named Bobby.

Do they have his number?

No, just a picture.

What's wrong?

Do you know that kid?

No. But I know
who took them.

Markayla.

Markayla!
Markayla.

Are you ok?

Where are we?

No idea.

Oh, my God.

What are they gonna
do to us?

I don't know.

They must have been
pretending to be Bobby.

Why would they do that?

Maybe they want to sell us?

Don't say that.

Help! Somebody--

Shh. That's not
gonna work.

We gotta make a plan.

Go ahead, Kate.

After we closed
the Riverside torso case,

I couldn't let it go,
so I revisited the crime scenes

and starting asking
questions.

Aaron, you looked
at that case, too,

and the evidence
indicated

the torso killer
was working alone.

Kate's working
a different tangent.

I also kept tabs
on missing women.

There was a female jogger
in Modesto, Eileen Banks,

categorized
as voluntary missing,

but oddly killed in a car accident
a few weeks later

all the way in Maryland.
She was never autopsied.

How is that
related to this?

She had been flirting
on line with a young new boyfriend

before she ran off,

but it was the same Bobby
in that picture from Sam.

It must have been the same group
that took the girls.

If this is related to that case,
then these abductors are mobile.

We'll get an emergency warrant,
we'll exhume the jogger's body

and do an autopsy.

I'll expedite it
with judge Lynch.

They were taken
because of me.

I was getting close.

You were doing
your job, Kate.

The unsub knew that grabbing
an FBI agent's daughter

would bring a firestorm
down upon him.

He's an extreme
risk-taker.

Ok, I got the 411
on this Bobby photo.

It originated 6 years ago.
Guy's name is Sven Sorensen,

from Sweden.

He's now 25.
He still lives in Europe.

They used the picture
to lure the girls.

Whoever did this
is most likely not a pedophile,

but rather a preferential
adult offender

and long-term
child abductor.

But he targeted the girls.

Yeah, because
I was targeting him.

I don't know, Meg.
I don't know.

If we don't, we're not
getting out of here alive.

I can't.
You have to.

Shut up!
Time to go.

Why are you doing this
to us?

You don't have to hurt us.

Please, we'll be good.

Shut up.

Let's go.

No--let go of me!
Meg! Meg!

Not only did they wipe
the girls' devices clean,

they went after Kate because she
was digging into missing persons cases.

Because Kate
was onto something.

Yeah, this isn't some loner

who wants to keep girls
in a dungeon. This feels like trafficking.

That's the worst-case scenario.

Well, if it is trafficking,
the upside is

we've got a better chance
of finding the girls alive.

Yeah, but if they
don't comply,

they'll be beaten
into submission

or killed
if they try to escape.

It went better than expected.

You know, you've never
let me down, Paige.

You'll always be my
most prized possession.

Show me.

Get up.

Sit up.

They're perfect.

And no visible bruising.

You're learning.

I know what I'm doing.

Let's go.

Get rid of the van,

meet us back at home
in about two hours.

Uhh!

Markayla, run!

Kyle!

You watch that one.

Uhh!

Kyle!

Over here!

Where the hell is she?

You let her get away?

It's dark. She's fast.

You idiot.

You've always been
a moron.

Don't talk to me like that.
I've warned you--

Help me! Help me, please!
Let me in!

Get away from my house.

I've a gun.
I'll shoot!

Help me! Help me, please!

Oh, God, honey,
what happened?

She's frightened
and in shock,

but doctors say
she'll be fine.

Markayla.

Mom!

He killed him.

He killed him
right in front of me.

It's ok, Markayla.
You're ok now.

But we need to know, who were
you meeting at the library?

It was supposed
to be Bobby.

We were talking to him
for a few months online.

He seemed so cool.

He said he had tickets
to the 4for1 concert tonight,

but he got stuck
at work,

so his mom picked us up
instead.

And she was driving
the van?

Yes. And she seemed
nice, too,

until we started
asking about Bobby.

And what did she do?

She locked the doors.

Suddenly this guy
popped up from the back

and stabbed us
in the neck.

Can you describe
either of them?

They were white
with brown hair.

The creepy guy they gave us to
had a wide face.

They're perfect.

I'll get a sketch artist.

We had a plan.

What was the plan?

Meg said Kate taught her
what to do.

If they try to hurt us,
we buy time.

We role play,
get into their heads.

When they move us,
I'll distract them.

It's our best opportunity
for you to run and get help.

That's right. Kidnappers
are most vulnerable at transfer points.

Did the older man say anything
about where he was taking you?

No, he just said
he had plans for us.

And then I ran. And that's when he
shot the younger guy

for losing me.
Look, I didn't want to leave Meg,

but she said you guys
would never stop looking for her.

That's what she said.

That's what she said.

Ok.

Did you get all that, Kate?

I told Meg everything.

I told her about sadists and that
the only way to undermine them

was to not show fear.

You taught her well, Kate.

She can get through this.

Meg Callahan
has been abducted

by a sophisticated
sex trafficking ring.

It's a mobile operation.

That's why it's gone
undetected for so long.

A broker
leads the ring

with a male accomplice
and a female accomplice.

They find victims
and tailor their abduction plan

to each of their
vulnerabilities.

And then the victims
are sold, most likely online

to buyers who've been
vetted by their team.

If it's trafficking,

couldn't the girl be on a ship
to Saudi Arabia by now?

Well, we're hoping
they lay low

until the searchers
are called off.

A male accomplice
was shot dead by the broker,

suggesting infighting
and tension.

This could give us
an opening.

We'll continue
going door to door.

Someone out there knows
the leader of this ring.

Don't be fooled
by his facade.

He is a master
manipulator.

And his female accomplice
is possibly a compliant victim,

who trauma bonded with the unsub
after years in captivity.

The group's sophistication
level suggests they're experienced,

so we can expect them
to employ forensic countermeasures

to hide and change
the appearance of the victims

before he sells them off.

How does she look?

Great.

Have you heard from Kyle?

He hasn't been
answering his phone.

I told him to get rid
of the body.

The body?
You killed Markayla?

Oh, my God,
why would you kill her?!

Quiet.

As you all know,
Meg is part of this family.

We do not rest until
she's home safely.

Thank you.

The FBI has confirmed
that one of the girls taken

is in fact related
to a local BAU agent.

The agent, we're hearing,
is a renowned profiler

who used to be with the
Bureau's sex crimes unit.

As the nationwide search
intensifies,

communities are asking
how could this happen here?

It's been over 3 years
since a double abduction

has occurred in the area.

There have been
no ransom calls at all.

We've got flyers all the way up
to Massachusetts Av.

I just got off the phone
with Garcia.

She's checked every
sex trafficking website and nothing.

This is all my fault.
I promised Liz

that I would protect Meg
and look what happened.

Don't do that.
Don't do that.

She never even told me
that she liked a boy.

Kate, she's 13.

You ok?

My stomach.

Hey. Listen.

Your body might be done
right now, but your mind's sharp.

Use it.
Meg is depending on you.

A lot of assumptions were made
with this victim, Eileen Banks.

Badly burned, smashed car.

That's why they didn't
autopsy her.

Correct.

Turns out, she had
multiple penetrating lacerations

to her chest and neck.

They appear to be
antemortem.

Maybe one of the traffickers
killed her and then staged the accident.

That seems pretty elaborate.

The wounds weren't
inflicted all at once.

She was stabbed
over the course of several days.

Sadistic traffickers.

Or worse, the unsub
wasn't trafficking at all.

What are you thinking?

Garcia should re-evaluate
every voluntary missing person case

followed by accidental
or sudden death.

This might be worse
than we thought.

Ok, here's my news flash.

In the tri-state area,
there have been

half a dozen questionable
missing persons cases.

Try the whole country.

All right, uh,

California to Maine,

there have been 50
in the last 7 years.

That can't all be
this unsub's group, can it?

My thoughts,
exactamundo, good sir.

Ok, uh, there were two
accidental deaths

that happened at the same time
but 2,500 miles apart.

If they're trafficking girls,
why would they kill them?

All with different
M.O.s, too.

Car accident, fire,
shooting, drowning.

And this isn't just one group.
They're different killers.

So there must be
a serial abductor

and the torso killer
was just one of his customers.

What the hell kind of
trafficking is this?

This isn't sex slavery.
They're selling victims to serial killers.

That's it.

Stand up straight.

Don't cry.

It makes your face
look puffy.

Help me.

Look at me.

Yeah, that's it.

Beautiful.

♪ Through my hand ♪

♪ welcome to freedom ♪

♪ where life is a scam ♪

The operation's
actually simple.

The killers get to live
out their fantasies,

and in exchange for
supplying the victims,

the brokers make them agree
to a disposal method.

This way he and his team
are insulated from the investigation.

Just like in the torso case,
the behavior and forensics of the kills

will only lead us
to the customer

who actually did the killing,
not the broker.

He's smart enough
to protect his network

by encrypting all communication
with his customers.

So if we can capture
a killer while he's online,

then Garcia can hack
his system and lead us right to Meg.

Just say the word.

Garcia, the accident
that killed the jogger in Modesto,

Eileen Banks, who hit her?

Uh, Marcus Townsen
hit the car over the embankment.

He was admitted for minor injuries
and then released.

What's his background?

Uh, searching.

Holy heck, his license, registration,
and insurance are all bogus.

Well, if it was a car crash,
they would have checked

his blood alcohol
level at the hospital.

Garcia, run the DNA
of that blood sample through CODIS.

Ok, he's on a sex
offender registry.

His real name
is Miles Hendrick.

He started off stalking
a neighbor's kid

and got busted in the
elementary school bathroom.

Now he's graduated
to this. Where does he live now?

Largo, Maryland.
Let's go.

I liked your
profile picture.

Yeah.

You look good in purple.

Look, I know most men
are turned off by women with kids.

I'm not like that.

I had a mom
who had 3 jobs

and a dad who left
before I could talk.

Women with children
are not pariahs.

FBI!

Show me your hands!
You're under arrest.

For what?

The torture and murder
of Eileen Banks.

You have the right
to remain silent.

They just arrested
Miles Hendrick.

They've got his computer.
We need you to break in.

What's his IP address?
Morgan just sent it to your email.

Cool, I got it. Ok,
I am in his hard drive.

His browser history
is triple encrypted. He's on Tor.

Ok, this is like trying
to penetrate a ceramic-infused

titanium wall with a butter knife.
It's not happening.

We need to break miles
before Meg's sold off.

Do you have the rest
of the payment?

She's pretty.

You'll get rid of her
the same as the others?

I'm a creature of habit.

Next time you should
give me a discount.

I'm turning into
quite a good customer.

No.

No! No.

Let go of me!

Help!
Shh.

Help!

Help!

I don't know
what you're talking about.

Miles, you bought
this girl off a website,

you killed her, and then you made it
look like a car accident.

I didn't do anything.

If you don't give us
your login and password

so we can break
this auction site,

you're going down
for all 50 murders.

You can't do that.

Try us.
The entire country's

gonna want somebody
to pay for these crimes,

and your perverted ass
is perfect.

C-l-e-v-e-r

b-o-y-s.

And the passcode is...

The passcode's 6969.

How original.

Look, I only ever ordered
that one girl the one time.

It was a mistake.

I got Miles' password.

All right,
find the website.

On it, and...

Sweet mother gross.

It's like Tinder
for sociopaths.

They're selling women
all over the country.

Do you see Meg anywhere?

Wait, wait, wait.
Go back.

That's her.
He dyed her hair.

She has been sold.

Can you tell to whom?

Um...No, 'cause the firewall's
worse than the other one

and I'm upset
and I need help focusing.

What about the IP address?
That should lead us back to the broker.

Yes, yes, very good, sir.
Uh...There it is.

His name's Alex Zorgen.
He's in Oakton, Virginia,

and he's on his computer
right now.

FBI!

Aah!

I am not playin' around!

Neither are we.
Put the gun down.

Get out or I will kill her.

We're not gonna tell you
again, Alex.

Drop your weapons
or I will shoot.

That's not happening.
This is over, Alex.

Enough! That's enough!

You are too late.
She is gone.

You tell Kate
Megan's long gone!

Get up.

I didn't know FBI chicks
could be so hot.

We have an electronic
trail that proves

that Miles Hendrick bought
Eileen Banks from you.

Where's Kate?

I want to talk to Kate.

I'd be much more willing
to talk to Kate.

And as soon as we get through
the firewalls of the other buyers,

we'll have you for
those kills, too.

Where is she, Alex?

It's not too late
to stop.

Who did you sell Meg to?

I don't know.
You're lying, Paige.

We already found 3 girls
hidden in your basement.

Add that to the rest of the murders,
you're gonna be in prison

till the day you die.

Why are you protecting him?

'Cause you know he is over there right
now selling you out,

making it seem like
this was all your idea.

That's what psychopaths
do, Paige. They play people.

All right, let us help you out
and tell us where Meg is.

She's long gone.

She could be in Dubai by now
getting chopped up in a blender.

Or in Kansas, laying in
one of my sick clients' barns

saying “there's no place
like home.”

None of that's true.

You know what's great
about the Internet?

It's therapy for sick minds.

Before, you thought
you were alone.

But now, one click and you
realize you've got family.

Come on, fellas,
where's my favorite agent?

She afraid to see me?

It's all about the hunt
for you, isn't it, Alex?

But you don't have
the balls needed to kill,

so you palm that off
on others.

They teach you that
in FBI school?

We know exactly
who and what you are.

You're a sexually
diverse thrill-seeker,

always looking for
a new way to get off.

Ooh.

And you took Meg
to get back at Kate.

You thought
we'd blame their killers

and we'd never know
you existed.

But you didn't
know that your site was vulnerable

during the auctions,
did you?

How dumb is that?

Are you dumb, Alex?

I took her because I knew
I couldn't get Kate.

Do you have any idea
how much a female Fed would go for?

Well, Garcia
found something.

Turns out Paige's
real name was Donna Mangold.

She was abducted
22 years ago.

So we were right.
She's trauma bonded.

We just need
to break that bond.

Hey, Kate, so we just found out
the female partner

was abducted by Alex,
but she's not talking.

Does she know that Alex
killed her partner?

No. But we should use that.
They could have been close.

So what bond is stronger
than all of this?

Mother and child.

Exactly. You're gonna have to build
a rapport with Paige and then use it.

That's my little girl
out there.

Every second she's with
this sick freak, she's just buying time.

We're gonna find her,
Kate.

Please don't hold back.

What happened?

They got a lead.
A real lead.

I know what you're
going through, Paige.

You're scared.
You feel hopeless.

You don't even know
who to trust.

Alex took you
a very long time ago.

He did horrible,
horrible things to you.

He raped you, tortured you.

Then all of a sudden,
he'd be nice.

Shut up,
you don't know him.

Your life was literally
dependent on him.

So you eventually did
whatever he asked you to do.

Cleaned, cooked,
helped with his abductions.

In your mind,
your past life was lost.

But you had the one person
you loved most with you.

No...

Kyle.

We checked hospital
and dental records

and couldn't find any info.
Kyle was your son.

He was our son.

How could a father
kill his own child?

How could he--
how could he do that to a mother?

I don't understand.

Parents that kill
their children are monsters.

Now, you were under duress
when you helped him.

But my friend's daughter
is gonna die

if you don't help us
right now.

Who bought Meg, Paige?

Where is she?

He's one of Alex's
best clients.

He does...
unspeakable things.

And then he spreads
the body parts in the Potomac.

Where does he live?

I don't know.

But you can reach him
online.

You know, when I was little,
I hated my dolls.

That's when I started
breaking them.

I'd break their legs off,

their arms,

save their heads for last.

♪ I like the way you talk ♪

♪ I like the way you walk ♪

No one understood
why I did it.

♪ Suzie Q ♪

But I liked it.

I liked the feeling.

You understand, don't you?

This is what I'm planning.

I don't want you
to do it fast.

Shh.

That's how I did it
when I used to cut myself.

Shut up!

I'm not gonna
tell you again.

♪ Say that you'll be true ♪

How many dolls were there
before me?

Stop!

♪ Oh, Suzie Q ♪

Am I your first doll?

Keep quiet.
You're ruining it.

I want you to do it slow.

No! No!

They're gonna get you!

You little bitch.

♪ I love you ♪

No!

You can't break me!

Aah!

Help! Somebody! Help!

Help!

Help!

♪ I like the way you walk,
I like the way you talk ♪

Help!

Get me down!
Get me down!

Get me down.

I got you.
I got you.

You're ok.

Ok.
I did what Kate said.

Are you ok?
Ok, ok.

Ok.
I did what Kate said.

Michael Rigby.

Kevin Hawkins.

Oh, God, Meg.

I'm so sorry.

I should have known.

Shh. It's not your fault.

It's not your fault.

Thank you.

Not you, too.

Am I getting
another godson?

Possibly.

Maybe a goddaughter.

Mm...

Hey.

Hey. Am I interrupting
something?

No, not at all. I'm just finishing
some paperwork. Come on in.

I was in the neighborhood.

How are you feeling?

Oh, better.
The doctor assures me

that we're both
gonna be fine.

Good. And how's Meg
holding up?

She's doing pretty good.
We found a great therapist,

so we'll go
when she's ready.

Good.

Look, I wanted
to apologize.

You told me to let
the torso case go,

and I should have
listened.

Well, we both
had a feeling.

Not the point.

Well, in the end
you were right.

And think of all the girls
who were saved.

Yeah. A website
for serial killers.

Who knew?

You know, a few weeks
before my sister died,

we went to Virginia Beach
for her birthday,

just the two of us,

and we were laying there
and I asked her what she was thinking.

And she said, you know, Kate,

if anything ever
happens to me or Joe,

just promise me
that you'll take care of my little girl.

And, I mean, of course
I said I would.

You know? Nothing was
going to happen to her.

She was 24.

And...just like that,
it did.

You're a great mom.

Yeah, I took a year
off when I got Meg,

and it was...

The best year
of my life.

And so,

I think I want to do that
for this one, too.

You'll always
have a place here.

Thank you.

Let me know
if you need anything.

Some we're proud of.
