Criminal Minds (2005–…): Season 12, Episode 6 - Elliott's Pond - full transcript

When three children disappear while riding their bikes on the same path as a similar unsolved disappearance 30 years ago, the BAU team comes in to investigate.

(GIRL GRUNTS)

Like that, okay?

First you want to go under...
Yeah.

CLAYTON, DELAWARE

And then kind of hold it up
so they get back to us.

OLDER BOY: Guys, guys, you should
have been home an hour ago.

00:00:20,375 --> 00:00:23,542
Now Mom's sitting there
with Dad waiting on you.

Did you forget
Dad was coming?

BOY: We don't want to go
to his place this weekend.

Well, we don't get
a say in it.

GIRL: Is Shelley with them?



No, she's not.

You know she's gonna
show up at some point.

GIRL: She says mean things
about Mom.

(SIGHS) I know.

I know.

But it's his weekend.

Maybe we'll go to the movies
like we did last time.

That wasn't so bad.

Come on.

You want to race?

BOY: You're on a bike.
You'll win.

You guys got a head start
if you cut through the corn.

Unless you two are chicken.

(CLUCKING)



GIRL: Come on, let's go!

Last one home's a loser!

Allie!
Where are you?

ALLIE: I'm over here!

Allie!

Allie, where are you?

ALLIE: I'm over here!

Help, he's hurt.

Watch his little leg.

Stop it.
Dude, seriously, stop it.

PRESENT DAY

Come on, man,
I'm trying to tell a story.

And then, that's when
the aliens snatched them.

It wasn't aliens, it was the lunatic
from the asylum.

P.K., I said quit it.

Then the Oxen Hill Maniac
kept the twins chained up for days.

He needed to fatten them up
before he ate them.

I thought their older
brother killed them.

Or that freak
Jimmy Ridley.

Tonight we solve
the mystery.

No backing out?

P.K. AND BONES:
No backing out.

So, uh, no phones, right?

That was the point.
Old school.

No lifelines.

Yeah, but you chickened out
last year.

Bones, what's your story?

I said I was sleeping
at your house.

That's why
the phone's there.

My phone and I
are at P.K.'s.

So we're covered.

As long as we're at my house
for pancakes in the morning.

Okay, P.K., serious question.
Why are you always eating?

'Cause I'm fracking hungry.

Nutter Butter, anyone?

Sure. How long
is this gonna take?

Who cares?
We got all night.

Watch out for snakes.

It's right here.

-ALVEZ: I'm dead serious.
-JJ: There's no way.

The probability of that happening to you
more than once is astounding.

I know. I know.
But I was there, okay,

and I'm telling you,
it was crazy.

Thank God you guys are here.
What do you know?

-Nothing.
-Okay. Rossi got here

crazy early, and then right when
Prentiss came in he pulled her in there.

We need to talk.

Okay, okay.
What's going on?

-It's Hotch.
-Oh, my God. Is he okay?

He's okay. But he has not been away
on special assignment.

That's something we had to say
as a cover for the investigation.

-What investigation?
-Hotch saw Peter Lewis

watching one of Jack's
soccer games.

By the time Hotch reacted,
Lewis had taken off.

The Bureau searched the area,
but he disappeared.

When was this?

Days after Mr. Scratch
resurfaced in Arizona.

One of the victims
was chanting his name when we found her.

She had "Hotch"
carved into her forehead.

It really got to him.

Why didn't he tell us? We could have
focused on finding Mr. Scratch.

He knows we can't
drop everything.

Also, he didn't want
to worry everyone.

So now what? They
have around-the-clock surveillance?

Initially, yes, agents were assigned
to watch Jack 24/7.

But when we were all
in L.A.

on the John David Bates case,
Scratch surfaced again,

this time at Jack's school.

Going after Jack
takes this to a whole new level.

Peter Lewis
is not going to stop.

Which is why Hotch and Jack
have now entered the program.

Witness protection.
Oh, okay, uh, wow.

But now that this
happened,

we can drop everything
and focus on catching Mr. Scratch,

and then Hotch
can come back, right?

He went away believing
that could happen.

But things have changed.

He's now decided
that he can't put himself

and Jack in danger again.

He just sent in
his resignation.

I know this is a lot
to process.

I mean, yeah,
he's a great dad,

and this is
an impossible job,

and we know how much
tragedy he's had.

He's had enough tragedy.
But...

Does this mean we're never going
to be able to talk to him again?

We don't have a choice.
It's not ideal, obviously.

But as his friends,
we have to support his decision.

The only way for Hotch
to guarantee Jack's safety

is if they both
stay off the grid.

ROSSI: And one more thing.

Hotch spoke to the director
as to who should replace him.

Don't worry, it won't be me.

You know I'm allergic
to paperwork.

But Hotch's final request

was that Emily Prentiss
becomes the BAU's new Unit Chief.

Thank the universe
for silver linings.

Okay, I just heard about
all of this myself a few minutes ago.

Congratulations, Emily.

-This'll be good, right?
-You kidding me? This'll be great.

I am really happy for you.

Thank you, guys,

but I haven't exactly
signed on yet.

Everyone knows you have
a lot to consider,

but the brass needs
an answer by tomorrow.

Understood.

I hate to interrupt the bad news/good news
with bad news/bad news,

but we've got three missing
kids in Delaware.

P.K.?

Bones?

-(JOSH GASPS)
-(CLANGING)

(SCREAMING)

ROSSI: "The strength of a family,
like the strength of an army,

"is in its loyalty
to each other."

Mario Puzo.

There's a lot to process
before my first cup.

Thank you.

I can't believe he's been dealing with
this for weeks and we never knew.

That part actually doesn't
surprise me.

He's always kept things
to himself.

I guess it was just his way
of protecting us.

If anyone targeted my boys,
I'd do anything to keep them safe.

I know.

Are you ready to take this
for a test drive?

Sure.

It's a quick flight.
We should get started.

Okay, my brain's a little wonky
from that intel earlier today.

Is that just me?

No? Good. Not good,
but you know.

Anyway, if you all
follow along on your, uh,

what-you-call-it,
your tablets.

Three missing teenage Clayton, Delaware,
boys are Bones Jarvis, Josh Harmon,

and P.K. Riggins.

-Did you say Bones?
-Yeah. Coolest name ever, huh?

Technically, it's William,
but the police chief says

everyone calls him Bones.

-LEWIS: When were they last seen?
-Around 9:00 p.m.

That was over 12 hours ago.
That gives the UnSub a massive head start.

Yeah. And we've got, like,
a barrel of nothing.

The boys took off on their bikes,
but they left their cell phones at home,

so there's no way
to track them.

-Any prior history with these kids?
-No, nothing.

They've never even
been gone overnight.

And apparently they spend
every weekend together

either making
or watching movies.

There's a bit of a haunted history
in Clayton.

Years ago a mental institution burned down
and inmates escaped.

Legend has it those that were never found
moved into abandoned houses.

Garcia, you should locate
some of those properties.

Maybe the boys were looking
for inspiration.

Also check into any history
of criminal activity

focusing on crimes
against children.

Okay. But for the record,
I prefer getting spooked

doing research
on ghost stories.

We all know the stats.

If we don't find these kids within
the next 24 hours,

we could be looking
at body recovery.

We can't
let that happen.

Thanks for coming.

And, please, call me Coop.
Everybody here does.

ROSSI: Tell us
about your town, Coop.

Mmm, good people,
hard-working.

I gotta tell you,
it's a quiet place.

It looks like we're just a few miles from
the old Oxen Hill mental asylum.

Well, you know, that place
burned down in 1956.

Ghosts are long gone.
There's a Walmart there now.

Let me ask you this.
Do you think it's possible

the boys were following the legend
of what happened to all the inmates?

Could be. Parents told me
that the boys were into scary movies.

My officers are taking
statements right now.

Have your officers
ever dealt with

a missing children's
investigation before?

I'm the only one
that's been here long enough.

The last time anything
like this happened was back in 1983.

That's when the Henson
twins went missing.

-How'd that turn out?
-We found some clothes.

There were traces of blood.
Um, we never found the bodies.

How old were they
when they disappeared?

Thirteen.

Is it possible this is the same offender
33 years later?

I thought the same thing.

But all the suspects I had
back in '83 are dead.

Yes, but two children
were abducted back then,

three now, in the same town?

It's too similar
to dismiss.

The question is,
if it is the same offender,

would he be strong enough
to kidnap three young boys?

Maybe he has help.

Or he could have been a young offender
when he struck before

and he's just not
as old as we think.

Where were the Henson twins
last seen?

Off Route 7.
I'll take you there,

but somebody's gotta stay
here with the parents.

They haven't left
since I called you.

Lewis and I
will talk to them.

Have your sons
ever run off before?

No.
They're good kids.

I don't know who would
do this to them.

Where might the boys
have gone?

It had to be some kind
of adventure,

because P.K., he shoved a bunch of
snacks in his bag before he left.

He'd just had a growth spurt,
so I just thought he was hungry.

My first guess was that
he lost track of time

and got into making a movie.

But then after we all talked
and found their cell phones,

we knew that wasn't happening.

Can we see their movies?

Here you go.

That's their latest one.

Gonna be some kind
of alien invasion

when they're done
with the effects.

JOSH: (NARRATING)
Aliens are among us.

Careful.
The aliens are nearby.

Who knows who they are.

They are lurking
in plain sight.

Run!

Who's this guy at the end,
with the blue truck?

Jimmy Ridley.
He's been around forever.

Do you think he has
something to do with it?

We'll look into it.

(LINE RINGS)
GARCIA: Hello.

Garcia, I need you
to run a name for me. Jimmy Ridley.

I have a James Edward Ridley

of Clayton,
actually have three of them,

uh, all from
the same family tree.

Senior and Junior
have passed on,

but the third is still there.
He lives and works on the family farm.

-No priors.
-Okay. Thanks.

So, um, how are you
holding up?

Well, you know
how I am with change.

Yeah. That's why I asked.

(CHUCKLES)

I keep trying to think of the last thing
I said to him,

and I can't remember.

It was probably
something boring,

like "yes, sir."

But I don't know.
I hope it was more clever and kind,

and I keep thinking, is that what we're
supposed to learn from this,

like every time
you get off the phone with someone,

you should say something
clever and connected?

Is that what
I'm supposed to learn?

Because... 'Cause you don't know
if it's the last thing

you're ever going
to be able so say to them.

I don't know.
Maybe.

Well, that's impossible
and exhausting.

And, you know, I'm pretty good
with the salutations and the signing off,

but I cannot think of something
meaningful to say

every time I get off
the phone with someone.

That cannot be
the lesson in this.

I don't think
we're gonna know

what we're supposed
to learn for a while.

That doesn't work
for me, sir. I'm sorry,

but, you know, I cross-check

and I figure it out quickly.
That's my thing.

I know.

It's gonna get better.

Well, I wish it would
hurry up and do that

because this feels
really rotten.

Of course it does.

Because it should.

And right now
you're thinking

it's never gonna
get better

and that this is
your new normal.

But you'll adapt.

We all will.

Trust me, kiddo.

I've been here before.

Thanks.

And I know you could have
found out from the locals

about Jimmy Ridley.
I appreciate you checking up on me.

You bet.

Sir, one more thing.

I love you.

I love you, too, Penelope.

(BREAKS CONNECTION)

Well, the story is
that the twins

were racing
their big brother home.

And they split up
and the twins just vanished.

And, uh, we searched this
whole area until winter.

You know, a blizzard's
the only thing

that could stop the
diehards from looking.

This town can't afford
another heartbreak.

What's goin' on?

There are three missing kids.

We don't want
any trouble.

Looks like you got it
anyhow.

You need a ride home?

No, sir, I do not need
a ride home.

I've been getting
plenty of exercise

since you took away
my license.

What are you guys,
are you FBI or something?

Yeah.

Coop, why didn't you
bring them in before?

Oh, that's right.
Because you were too cocky back then.

Now you're just lazy.

-Go home, Deeley.
-Deeley Henson?

-Yes.
-You were with your siblings that night.

Sure was.

Could we possibly
ask you a few questions?

Nope. I'm done talkin'.

Johnny and Allie
are gone.

Nothing's
gonna change that.

If this case has anything to do with
your brother and sister,

you could really help us.

Sorry, I just
got nothin' left.

That's the downside
of living in a small town.

You know, rumors flew,
people accused Deeley of killing them.

He became an outcast,
dropped out of school,

started drinking
to cover up the guilt.

Surprised
he's still standing.

JJ: This was the boys
last night.

Security camera across from
the cornfield picked it up.

If they were moving
in that direction,

it means they were probably
tracking the Henson twins' disappearance.

It's kind of a local legend.

LEWIS:
Anyone else see them?

ALVEZ: It's hard to say,
but about two minutes later

this pickup truck drove by.

COOP: That's Jimmy Ridley.

He's in a film
the kids were making.

What's his story?

A hermit, mostly.

Has a few run-ins
now and then.

We need to find out what he was doing
on that road last night.

Josh! Get up, come on.

Something flew right at me.
I think it was a ghost.

Shut up. Someone's here.

Listen.

(INDISTINCT SOUNDS)

(KNOCKING ON DOOR)

FBI! Open up!

(DOOR CREAKS)

Small town.

Guys.

(INDISTINCT SOUND)

(INDISTINCT SOUND)

(WHIMPERING)

He's been stalking
these kids.

It shows a lot
of patience.

REID: And intent to do harm.

He has a lot of weapons
at his disposal.

Add extreme isolation to that
and we've got ourselves a time bomb.

Looks like he was raised
in this house.

Yeah. By a hoarder.

There are old photos of
the Henson twins, too.

He could be involved
in the first abduction.

He would have been 15
when the Henson twins disappeared,

the same exact age
as their brother Deeley.

I wonder if the two of them
were friends back then.

You think that brother's
ever gonna talk to us?

I don't know.
Look at this.

Those kids are awful.

Jimmy, what did you do?

I taught them a lesson.

Where are they?

Why do you have pictures
of these kids?

They take pictures of me...

So I started doing it back.

What about the Henson kids?

They used to cut through
our property.

We got them signs up,
but no one cares.

My dad used to take
pictures of everyone who trespassed.

Since Coop don't
do nothin' about it,

we had to prove it
ourselves.

What about the Jarvis
boy's helmet?

Why was that
inside your house?

-He left it there.
-When? When was this?

Last night.

-Was he with his friends?
-Yeah.

No one went inside
your house?

No. No!

Okay.

I'm sorry, Jimmy.
I need you to walk me through this.

Because I want
to help you.

Those boys, they were
on your property,

but no one came inside
your house?

That's right.

I shot off a firecracker.

I scared him so bad,
his hat fell off.

And I kept it.

Did you see what
direction they went in?

No.

All right.

We'll be right back.

You need anything?

I need to get home.

Okay.

He isn't sophisticated
enough to take three kids.

Well, it's been 18 hours
since those boys disappeared.

Where the hell are they?

(INDISTINCT VOICES)

JOSH: It sounds like
they're whispering.

BONES: There's only one guy.
He's talking to himself.

We never should have
left our phones at home.

How was I supposed to know
some freak was gonna grab us?

If we had our phones, we wouldn't be
in this frackin' hobbit hole.

-Why don't you just cuss?
-My parents would kill me.

-Your parents aren't here.
-You guys are missing the whole point.

-Who the hell is that freak?
-I think it was a ghost.

-You said it was all skinny and pale.
-It wasn't a ghost.

I wish we never would have
found this place.

Well, we did, and we gotta
get the hell out of here,

so don't lose it now.

PRENTISS: His house
is a puzzle,

but other than the bicycle helmet,
we couldn't find any sign of the kids.

I think this guy's too simple
to be who we're looking for.

We should take a closer look
at the Henson case.

Who called it in back then?

Their mom did,
but she died a few years ago.

Their older brother Deeley
was with them that night.

Yeah, we met him
on the roadside.

According to Coop,
he lives across town

and he went out of his way
to find us on Route 7.

Sounds like he's trying
to insert himself into our investigation.

Except when we asked him
to talk, he refused.

Maybe it's time
to give it another try.

-You want to take a ride?
-Sure.

If Jimmy Ridley isn't
our UnSub, we're back to one.

Let's go dig up
the Henson files.

I'll buy you a cup
of coffee on the way.

What are you thinking?

A lot of circumstantial
evidence against Jimmy Ridley,

but I wanted
to go over...

I was actually wondering

what you were thinking
about staying.

Oh. Right.

Well, uh,
more pros than cons.

I love this group
and the job, but...

But you've got a life
back in London and a boyfriend.

-Yeah.
-Have you told him yet?

Oh, I haven't had the chance.
We jumped on the jet.

-You should call him.
-I will.

You mean
right this second.

-Yeah.
-(CHUCKLES)

Hey. I hope
I didn't wake you.

Mr. Henson?
Hi, we met earlier.

My name is Dr. Spencer Reid.
This is SSA Luke Alvez.

Ah, pleasure
to meet you, amigos.

(CHUCKLES)

(CANS RATTLE)

How much have you had
to drink today?

A free man in my own house.
Why does that matter?

I'm just thinking now
is not a great time to talk.

I mean, you might not
be yourself.

What do you want to know?

Tell us about 1983.

What the hell
does that matter now?

It might help us figure out
who took those kids last night.

It wasn't me.

The factory's got cameras.
I work graveyard.

We're not saying
you did it.

Well...

You'd be the first.

I mean, everyone in this place
thought I killed Johnny and Allie.

Killed them.

Just 'cause I got
in trouble sometimes.

And then, uh...

My folks, they blamed me
for losing them that night.

Never said I hurt 'em.

But it was my fault
that they were gone.

You know what that does
to a kid?

It does this.

When you rode by us earlier,
we thought maybe you wanted to help.

Let me ask you this. What way did
Allie and Johnny go that night?

They cut through the corn
and past the Ridley farm.

But I found them that night
at Elliott's pond.

And I told Coop that
back then.

They dragged it.

They never found them.

Then it froze over
that winter.

Thank you.

Appreciate your help.

That was the quietest
car ride we've ever had.

I can't stop thinking
about that guy, you know?

I don't know what I
would have done if I was him.

All that guilt.
How do you deal with that?

He obviously never did.

It's going to be dark soon.
There's a lot of area to cover.

We might want to call in
a search party.

Yeah, that's before anybody knew we had to
search the pond yet.

Hey.

Look at this.

This can't be good.

Guys, look.

Are we gonna fit
through it?

No, there's no way.

Shh.

(FOOTSTEPS)

(DOOR CLOSES)

(BANGING)

(SCREAMING)

(INDISTINCT VOICES
IN BACKGROUND)

REID: So if you guys want to go over
to the sort of White Lake area...

Can I help?

I don't know. Uh, are you in any
condition to do that?

I switched to coffee.

At this rate,
I won't sleep for days.

Okay. We found one of
the boys' bags in a hunting trap,

no other signs
of them yet.

Old man Clements
used to have hunting traps out here.

Who's he?

Geezer who got himself
off the grid long time ago.

Survivalist type.

(MAN SCREAMING)
(TRAP SNAPS)

(GROANING) Help me.

(GROANING)

Help me.

-MAN: Get a medic!
-Son of a bitch!

-(GROANING)
-This is fresh bait.

Someone set this recently.

Yeah, look. Somebody
tried to fire

some tranquilizer darts
and missed.

(CLANKING)

This Clements guy
used to hunt out here

and someone's still
using his traps.

I'll patch in Garcia.

-(TELEPHONE RINGING)
-I was feeling forgotten.

Never. What do you have
on a local man

-named Reginald Clements?
-Uh, Reginald Clements.

Uh... He's lived there
all his life.

He, uh, appears to be,

I think the words for it
are "off his rocker."

Lot of bats in the belfry.
B-a-n-a-n-a-s.

I am going to send you
what I find as I find it

so you can follow along
at home.

He's from one of
the founding families,

but this Reginald
has quite the past.

He did time at that mental hospital
that burned down,

but he was there
before the fire.

-JJ: For what?
-Assault with a deadly weapon.

But it was the bodily harm
he did to himself that put him away.

He claimed he needed
protection from aliens.

His delusions ranged from
the world ending to major conspiracies,

causing him to live
entirely off the grid.

And, you know, I'm all for
solar panels and making your own kombucha,

but this guy took it
to the extreme.

And when he was 18,
he got in trouble

for abduction of a minor.

And get this.
His defense was loneliness.

-REID: When was he released?
-Winter of 1982.

So if it was him,
he was out for a year

before the Hensons
disappeared.

It could have been
for a dual purpose.

Survival
and companionship.

-Is Clements dead, Garcia?
-I don't have a death certificate,

but if he's alive,
he'd be 82.

Could he have been strong
enough to hold the boys

and set hunting traps?

Doubtful.
What are you thinking, Luke?

I'm thinking
the next logical step.

He didn't kill the Hensons.
He's had them this whole time.

How would he
maintain control,

especially once they were
strong enough to escape?

He's already
got them isolated,

and their home life
wasn't great.

He believes that
the world is coming to an end.

He could have convinced
them of his own delusions.

So one paranoid survivalist
bred two more.

And if the Henson twins
have taken our three boys,

who knows what they're
gonna do with them.

Go ahead.

Eat.

Don't be afraid.

No one will ever
find us here.

(SIREN WAILING)

Someone with Clements' delusions
would have gone all in.

He could have built
a bomb shelter to hide the Hensons.

And that's where the boys
would be now.

Well, we found those
tranquilizer darts.

They could have been dosed and dragged
back to the house.

They couldn't be too far from where
P.K.'s bag was.

The boys were looking
for adventure.

My gut tells me they'll
keep the UnSubs talking

so they can work on a plan to escape.

That isn't what worries me.
We don't know if the Hensons

would want to hurt them,
but if they've been

isolated and tortured
this whole time,

who knows what they'll do.

Ah, man, we gotta
get out of here.

Do you have a plan?

If we fake sickness
and tell them we need help.

You two can take them.

Get the keys,
get the hell outside and run.

And what? You stay here
and get killed?

I stay here until you guys
get back with help.

Well, I mean, unless
you got a better idea.

No backing out.

BOTH: No backing out.

Please, you gotta help!

There's something wrong
with Josh!

(DOOR OPENING)

He gets seizures.
If you don't help him, he'll die.

(SHOUTS)

(GRUNTING)

Run, Bones!

(GRUNTING)

No!

Why are you trying
to hurt us?

(STUTTERING) I'm not.

I swear, I'm trying
to get help for, for Josh.

Drop the weapon.

Allie.

It's me. Jim Cooper.

You remember?

We need you
to drop the gun.

We need you
to drop the gun.

Go on.

Promise you won't hurt us.

Oh, I promise.

I promise.

It's okay.
It's okay. All right? Okay.

It's all right.

Hey. You guys okay?

-You guys okay?
-Yeah.

Let's go. Let's get you out of here.
Let's go. Come on.

Watch it.

(GASPING, CRYING)

(SOBBING)

(ALLIE SOBBING)

You okay?

Yeah. I'm just glad
we found those kids.

Oh, yeah, me, too.

But, uh, I was talking
about that other thing.

I haven't had a chance to talk
to you guys. What do you think?

I think we've been through
a lot of changes

and we always
figure it out, you know?

Morgan left, and now Hotch,

but if you stay,
it'll be okay.

Well, I talked to Mark.

And?

He's gonna be here
next week for a visit.

Well, that's a good start.

But they need an answer
in the morning, right?

I know.

Here's the truth.
If you don't take the position,

they're gonna bring in some stranger
to be the Unit Chief.

And I don't know how
that'll turn out,

but the learning curve
could be brutal.

It'll probably
stink for us, but...

Look, we're your friends
and we'll support you

no matter what you decide.

I'm gonna stay.

-Oh, thank God!
-Are you serious?

Yes.

I love being here,
and I've really missed you guys.

We have missed you, too.

Honestly, you have
no idea how much.

(LAUGHS)

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

We need to talk.

Surprise!

(LAUGHING) News travels fast.

Oh, good news does.
I'm so happy you're here. We all are.

And I've got some
big shoes to fill.

Well, I'm not worried.
Besides, you'd never let us all down.

(LAUGHS) Oh, great.
No pressure.

Well, let me just say
something to everyone.

I, um...

I've been in and out
of here since 1978,

but I know
this is where I belong.

I've seen a lot of great agents
pass through those doors,

and a lot of them
have moved on.

Now, most of this team
has been together

for over a decade.

But I promise you,
that doesn't happen often.

Now, I've heard the rumblings
about how lucky we are,

and it's true, but the truth is,

it's what happens...

When we're not on a case

that has defined
who we are.

We stand beside
one another,

through good, through bad,

because we're family.

So...

To Aaron and Jack,

I don't know who's luckier,
but it warms my heart

to know that
they'll be together

every day and safe.

Hear, hear.

And to Emily,

our friend
and new Unit Chief.

Welcome home.

Cheers!
Cheers!

Whoo!
