Criminal Minds (2005–…): Season 11, Episode 16 - Derek - full transcript

Previously
on “Criminal Minds”...

Don't tell me
you got another case.

No, no, no, no, no.
Baby, I'm coming home.

I swear I'm coming home.

Good. Me, too.

No!

What's wrong?!

Uhh!
Derek, are you there?

What's wrong?!

Wake him up.

He is awake.



What's he doing?

He's dissociating himself

from the pain he knows
we're going to inflict.

Outstanding.

Hello hello hello!

Daddy! Daddy!
Daddy's home!

What?
Daddy's home!

Daddy!

Oh, wow, yes!

Yes, yes, daddy is home!

Daddy is home.

Look at you,
my beautiful babies.

My beautiful babies!

Ohh...Mmm mmm!



Mmm mmm!
How are you guys doing today?

Good.

Oh, wow,
what do you got?

Did you make this
all by yourself?

Mm-hmm.
For me?

Oh, it's so good.

It's so good.

You're late.

Daddy's in trouble.

So you know what?
It's time for dinner.

Gotta go wash 'em up.
Go, go, go, go!

You promised.

Baby, it was work.

You promised.

Hey.

Come on, now.
Work is work.

And work makes
all of this work.

Yeah, it works because
I put in a 10-hour shift

and made it home to do
two sets of homework,

give two baths,
and cook for 4.

Woman, do you know
how much I love you?

How much I appreciate
everything that you do?

How much?

This much.

Baby...

What is it?

Daddy's home.

You're late.

Huh?

You promised.

You want to make it work,
make this work.

It works because I put in
a 10-hour shift,

made it home to do
two sets of homework,

give two baths,
and cook for 7.

Word.

You say you'll be home
for dinner, be home for dinner.

She was waiting
on you, Derek.

Keep your word, Derek.
Get home for dinner, Derek.

Where are you?
Where are you, Derek?

I'm trying.

I'm trying.

I'm trying.

Problem is, you're goin'
in the wrong direction.

Can't avoid me forever.

Do I know you?

Come on.

Let's go.

I'm not going anywhere
with you.

We're not going
anywhere bad.

But we are going.

Come on.

Uhh!

His heart rate's
back to baseline.

Start a fire.

Ok.

I get it.

I get it.

You, this.

This is all in my head,
right?

So I can survive
what they're doing to me.

Who are you?

You want a hint?

Daddy?

What did you find?

No sign of him.
But they left this

in his car
at the parking lot.

Could Savannah
tell us anything?

She said she thought
she heard 3 attackers

and that Morgan sounded
drugged before they cut off the call.

Then it's a coordinated, planned attack,
most likely professional.

We did just take down
a network of online hitmen,

but if this is blowback,
why Morgan?

We have to assume
that we're all targeted.

I've put protective
details on each of our families,

but I want Savannah
to stay here.

How is she?

She's being brave.

You know what
the worst part is?

What?

I live with a profiler.

So I know things
I shouldn't.

Like if they--if they
wanted him dead,

he'd already be dead.

Right?

That's right.

Garcia needs us.

You can stay here.

Whatever we find out,
we'll tell you.

I know wherever you are,
you can hear me.

This is white phosphorus.

Fortunately for you,

there's a high ignition point.

So, uh, we have
a few minutes.

It's good
to see you, son.

Don't tell me you're
not happy to see me.

Yes. Of course
I'm happy to see you.

I just can't pretend
that I don't know what this is,

that I'm just a figment
of your imagination?

Yeah, maybe I'm here

because you're gonna die

and I'll make it less scary.

Or maybe I'm here
to help you hang on.

Or maybe I'm a cop
and you're a profiler

and I can help you
understand how you got here.

I don't know how I got here.

I don't recognize those men.

When you start a case,

what's the first thing
you look at?

Victimology.

Who's the victim?

Me.

We start there.

But here's the trick.

You want to make sense
of this.

So you gotta start
at the beginning.

You gotta go way back.

Where do we start?

November 7, 1985.

This is the block
Derek was taken from.

That blue dot is him.

And then at 9:23,
we lose him.

So I checked all the other
cell signals in the area.

They're all legit, aside from one that
I was only able to find

thanks to some technology

no one outside this room
needs to know about.

What is that?

An encrypted signal
most likely

bouncing off a satellite.

I know we're thinking
this would be tied

to our Darknet investigation,
but satellite encryption

is much higher in technology
than most online crime.

That's true, but the hitmen
are still our best lead.

We need to exhaust that
before we move on to other theories.

JJ, you and Garcia will take
an armed agent to Savannah's house

and get her
to pack a bag.

Yes, sir. Absolutely.
But why me?

Because while she gathers
her things,

we're going to see
if they were under surveillance.

Whoever's behind this has been
planning this for weeks, if not months.

We have no time to catch up.
Let's move.

He's gonna be ok.

He's gonna be ok.

He's gonna be ok.

Penelope, he's gonna be ok.

He's gonna be ok,
he's gonna be ok,

he's gonna be ok,
he's gonna be ok...

This isn't the first time
I've done this.

But it will be the most
that I've enjoyed it.

How am I supposed
to do this, Pop?

You know how. You do it
with witnesses all the time.

What do you call that?

Cognitive interview.

That's the one.

Oh, man.

You know how many knuckleheads
I could have put away

if I had your training?

The question is, can you apply that
training to yourself?

Go ahead, Derek.

Do it.

It was November 7th.

I was in the fifth grade
and I started throwing up

in the middle of math class.

Mom was at work,
so you had to pick me up.

You were mad.

You thought I was faking.

Can you blame me?
You faked out of school before.

You take that state
capitals test?

Yeah.

How'd you do?

Got 'em all, I think.

Mm-hmm.

What's the capital
of Nevada?

Carson City.

Oh. So close.

It's Las Vegas.

Nuh-uh.

The judges have spoken.

It is Las Vegas.

It's Carson City.

You want anything
from the store?

Can I have a Gatorade?

One Gatorade coming up.

Dad, stop!

This is 99-60. We got a 212
at Marquette and Racine.

You stay here.
Keep your head down.

Dad!

Dad!

I'll be ok.

I'll be ok.

Dad! No!

I'll be ok.

No...

Only you weren't ok.

Nothing was ok after that.

You had to accept something no one
should have to accept.

Especially at 10 years old.

Which is that dads die.

My death...

Whose fault was it?

The man who pulled
the trigger.

Yeah, him.

But who else?

Who do you blame?

You.

I blame you.

If you want to be angry
at me, then be angry.

I can take it.

I'm not angry.

I never was.

No?

I blamed you
for making me believe.

Believe what?

“If I were to remain
a knight, said Arthur,

“I should pray to God
to let me encounter

“all the evil in the world
in my own person,

“so that if I conquer,
there will be none left.

“And if I were defeated,

I would be the one
to suffer for it.”

It's getting late.
Your mama's gonna kill me.

Oh, but it's just
getting good.

You wait till
Lancelot shows up.

Then it really
gets good.

You're kind of like
a knight, aren't you, Dad?

Eh, never been
on a horse before.

But I have saved
a damsel in distress or two.

Night.

Are you protected by God
like they were?

Come on, now.
Of course I am.

Everyone
with a badge is.

Now go on to sleep.

That's why I told you
to stop the car.

I thought if you helped that lady,
you'd be protected.

I would have done it
anyway.

That's why I wasn't
mad at you back then.

That's also when I had to start figuring
things out for myself.

Like God.

He doesn't stop bullets, Pop.

And he damn sure
doesn't stop bad men.

I have to do that myself.

Fire in the hole!

Aah!

Ohh...

It's burning.

Pop, it's burning!

Son, listen to me.

The man who's doing this
wants to break you.

You hold out.

He'll make a mistake.

Will you stay with me
through this?

Yes.

You promise?

Yes.

His heart rate's
going back down.

That's impossible.

Cut him loose.

Why?

I want him naked.

Wait for this.

Wait for it.

Now.

Hey. So I just talked
to your neighbors.

They didn't see anything,

and I didn't find
anything forensic outside.

So, they weren't peeping
on us through our windows?

Thank God for that, I guess.

That leaves you,
Penelope.

Finishing my diagnostic now.

I think I have something.

Do you have a wireless
router on your DVR?

Uh, I think so.

Ok.

They used it
as their back door.

And then the encrypted
phone call,

this is the hacking version
of that same thing, and--

Oh, man, they were
all up your business.

Was it the same unsubs?

My money says yes,
but what what's weird

is they used an intranet.

What is that?

An intranet is a private
closed system.

They use a portal
to a public page.

Will someone explain why
the CIA would abduct Derek?

Hey, Bob, it's Jennifer.
I need a big favor.

Ohh...

Ohh!

Who are you?

Solomon-comma-

Edgar-Hector-Bravo-
Kilo-3-Alpha-Delta.

Why are you
doing this to me?

Solomon-comma-Edgar-

Hector--

Aah!

Why are you
doing this to me?

You're a job.
An assignment.

They told me
to bring you here and hurt you.

I do as I'm told.

Where's your backup?

No backup. Just--aah!

Just--just cleanup.
Just cleanup.

When are they coming?

12 hours.

Isolation was
the whole point,

so no one
would ever find you.

Look for yourself.

We're stranded.

Aah! Aah!

Good think you know
someone with a Ph.D. in chemistry.

A couple years back
when our troops

encountered white
phosphorus in Iraq,

Reid took it upon himself
to find a cure.

The kid wouldn't shut up
about copper sulfate.

Well, maybe you should
thank him the next time you see him.

Am I ever going
to see him again?

That's up to you.

Just like your boss said,

you don't have enough
for a profile yet.

Why are we back here?

You've been here before,

when you were
15 years old.

If I visited this place when I was 15,
I would remember that.

Because you didn't
visit it,

you built it.

What was going on at 15?

I don't want to talk
about that.

We have to.

The man who
did that to you

was a pillar
in the community.

I met him
before I died.

I was fooled, too.

I was just a kid.

I didn't know what to do.

So I did nothing.

That's not true.

You survived.

You created this space,

the space in your head
the monster couldn't get to.

But that place
never went away.

It was still here for you
when you needed it.

Like now.

Are you ashamed of me?

I should have fought more,
like...

You would have.

No.

I'm not ashamed of you.

I'm proud.

Proud?

How can you be proud?

Because you turned your pain
into your greatest asset.

And I saw it.

You became
the man of the house.

You took care of your sisters
and your mother.

And that's why you're
good at what you do.

My contact at the Agency told me
the guys who took Derek

are freelance contractors
and not on our side.

So they're ex-spooks?

Mostly foreign,
a few domestic.

These guys have figured out
how to piggyback

on existing infrastructure
to hide their tracks.

My contact thinks
it might be this group.

It's hard to sync out
who might be hitching a ride

on their computer traffic.

Fortunately, one of the CIA
versions of me

is trying to crack
their encryption signatures.

What do we know
about them so far?

A 6-man team.

They do dirty work
for the highest bidder.

What kind of dirty work?

From what we can tell,
disappearances.

If you need someone
politically inconvenient to disappear,

these guys
make that happen.

When you're in the field,
what do you rely on?

My training.

Instinct.

And?

My team! The one
I really need isn't here.

Hey there.

All you had to do was ask.

Hold on. Whoops.
Hi.

Let's go.

He was giving me a name
and a serial number.

Military training.

Yeah, but that combination
of letters and numbers

isn't in my database.
My database being your brain.

No rank.
There was no rank.

He doesn't have rank.
Not anymore. He's out.

That's not enough.
I need more. Give me more.

Garcia, can you zoom in
on the tattoo on his forearm?

Yeah.

Morgan's in more trouble
than we thought.

“Who Dares Wins.”

“Who Dares Wins.”

That's the motto
of the British Special Air Service.

Which my system/slash/

your drunken night
hanging out with Scotland Yard

is now filling me in on.

The S.A.S. designed
the first survival course,

which our military used as
the basis for SERE school.

That in turn evolved into...

Enhanced interrogation
techniques.

They're torturers, Pop.

And they're coming back.

Listen...

I'll tell you,
they're all dead.

I need an exfil now.

Just get me out of here.

No, no, now.

No, you listen.

Just get me out of here
regardless.

You son of a bitch.

You got a phone?

He's here.
He's killing me.

Ahh!

Ooh!

I need that phone.

Give me the phone!

Uhh!

No! No, don't do that!

No! No! Don't do that!

I just told you
not to do that!

Aah!

It won't work now.
The phone is useless.

Whatever you swallowed
you can throw back up.

Aah!

Why are you
doing this to me?!

Why are you doing
this to me?

Why?!

Ooh. Ooh.

Ah!

Not like this!

Not--not like this.

Not like what?

You get to decide,
do you?

No.

But I'm not doing this.

I'm not dying in some house
in the middle of nowhere.

Well, you let me know

when you're done
with your temper tantrum.

That's a Dominican, right?

Yeah.

We had a day of the dad
thing at work.

I put that in there
for you.

I got it.

Ohh...

I'm back, Pop.

Good. Think like
a profiler.

Your team will find
this farmhouse.

That's inevitable.

But what will they find

when they walk in the door?

FBI!

Morgan?

Spence.

Anyone want to say
anything?

I do.

I do.

Hotch.

Hotch.

You've kept this team
together, man.

I know that.

I want to thank you.

JJ.

JJ, you're one of
the best people I know.

No, JJ, wait.

Rossi. Kid.

You've inspired me so much.

I never got to tell you that.

Baby girl.

Please stay with me.

No. No, please.

Please, don't leave me.

Stop that right now.

You're letting
your fear take over.

I'm so tired.

You skipped over
the most important part.

When your team comes
through that door,

what are they gonna see?

Me, on the floor...

With a useless phone
in my hand.

Wait.

If I press redial, one of those guys
is gonna answer.

Mm-hmm. Exactly.

You see it now?

Yes, I--I see it.

I--I may have
a line on him.

I just got notification
from Fort Eustis.

That encrypted SAT phone,
it became active again

and we managed to pin down
one side to here.

It is a 20-mile radius
in Virginia.

The other side
was to a contractor

who didn't even bother
not to use his own cell phone.

Arrogant. He thinks
we can't find him.

And he would be wrong.

He being John Bradley,

not s.A.S. As we had
suspected.

Bradley and Mr. Who Dares Wins

tried to become S.A.S,
but they couldn't cut it,

not to mention people
who are S.A.S.

Don't get tattoos saying S.A.S.
Because S.A.S. is covert.

That is the point.

But apparently people who
are dishonorably discharged

from the British Royal
Marines do get that tattoo.

Your last ping has him
in Derek's direction.

He's probably
on his way to him now.

We've got helos
on the roof

standing by
for immediate transport.

Any way we can
narrow down the search?

Yes. Their encryption
algorithms are dust.

If and when that SAT phone
connects, I've got him.

Hello?

Sir, it just went live.

Solomon, is that you, mate?

Ah, it's Agent Morgan,
isn't it?

Is this the cleanup crew?

That's me.

Well, you got a whole
hell of a lot of cleaning up

to do when you get here.

That's funny to you.

Yeah, what's funny is you trying
to keep me on the line.

Even if your team finds you,

all they're gonna find
is a corpse,

because I'm closer.

That's tough talk.

How are you feeling
right now?

Now so good, I bet.

So, yeah, I'll be seeing you,
real soon.

Son. Son?

Wait.

Come on.

What else is there?

How did you get here,
Derek?

They kidnapped me,

from the grocery store.

Uhh!

I was buying food
for dinner.

For who?

Savannah.

Do you love her?

Yes, I--I do.

There's the moment
when you realize you love a woman,

and the moment you realize
you're gonna marry her.

I want to hear about
the second one.

It was the end of last year.

I'd gotten in late
from a case.

It was a bad one.

She found me downstairs.

She didn't have to ask.

We just sat there,
till the sun came up.

No words.

You were getting food
from the store.

Does she cook a lot?

No.

She can't cook worth a damn.

I know dinner's ready
when the smoke alarm goes off.

She knows it, too.

She hates her cooking
almost as much as I hate eating it.

Must have been important, then,
her wanting you home for a meal.

She said she wanted
to tell me something.

Something bad?

No. It...

She said
it was something good.

I just want
to tell you I'm happy.

And maybe I'll show you
how happy when I get home.

Ok. Ok. I like the way
that sounds.

I think it was something
wonderful, pop.

Yeah?

She's pregnant.

What are you gonna do, son?

Are you gonna
make it home for dinner?

Hello, Agent Morgan.

You were an expensive
job, mate.

After what you did here,

I'll finish you for free.

I say,
is that all you got?

Aah!

Pop!

Dad!

Pop!

You said you were gonna
stay with me through this!

Where are you?!

Right here, Son.

Wakey, hmm?

Wake up.

Come on.

It's time to die.

Not yet.

Get medical in here.

Dad...

What is it, Morgan?
What is it?

I'm scared, Pop.

I can't feel anything.

Pop, I'm scared.

Dying is easy.

You know what's hard?

Not being there
for your son.

I want to.

I do.

I want to be there
for my family.

Savannah, mom, my sisters.

All of them, Pop.

But what if I'm not
strong enough?

That's why I walked you
through those moments,

so you could see what
I've seen for 30 years.

You are strong enough.

You've always been
strong enough.

Pop...

I love you, Son.

More than you will
ever know.

Now go be a dad.

Hi.

How long?

3 days.

Thank you.

Savannah.

I'm sorry.

For what?

I was late for dinner.

It's ok.

You made it.

No.

The next time you ask,

I will not be late for you.

Or our son.

How did you know?

I figured it out.

Then I guess I should
probably tell you

that I don't know if it's a boy.
It could be a girl.

Do you know
how much I love you?

How much I appreciate
everything that you do?

Will you marry me?

Yes.

Yes.
