Criminal Minds: Beyond Borders (2016–2017): Season 1, Episode 1 - Criminal Minds: Beyond Borders - full transcript
Thai royal police officer Taksin is Jack Garrett's FBI International Response Team's only local liaison in Bnagkok to investigate the disappearance of three naive US aid volunteers. They find Jeff Little's backpack with a street thief, soon after his bloodily butchered corpse dumped in a ravine near a poor country host's farm, Jeff's travel companions Sarah and Laura are feared abducted by white slavers. Forensics including a branding suggest correctly it's the work of psychopathic hunter, whom they must track down before he sacrifices the girls.
Jack:
OVER 68 MILLION AMERICANS
LEAVE THE SAFETY
OF OUR BORDERS EVERY YEAR.
IF DANGER STRIKES,
THE FBI'S
INTERNATIONAL RESPONSE TEAM
IS CALLED INTO ACTION.

HOW DID WE END UP
VOLUNTEERING ON THIS FARM?
WE SHOULD'VE
JUST GONE BACKPACKING.
WE SIGNED UP
FOR 3 MORE WEEKS.
THAT'S 3 TOO MANY.
WE'VE ONLY GOT ANOTHER MONTH
BEFORE SCHOOL STARTS.
I JUST DON'T WANNA
WASTE ANY MORE TIME.
YOU WEREN'T LIKE THIS
BEFORE HE GOT HERE.
DON'T DO THAT!
DON'T MAKE THIS
ABOUT JEFF.
WHY NOT?YOU DID.
YOU CANNOT HONESTLY SAY
THAT THIS HELLHOLE
IS BETTER THAN
THE LAST ONE WE WERE ON.
SHH!
HE CAN HEAR YOU.
WHO, BENZ?
HE DOESN'T KNOW
WHAT I'M SAYING.
THAT'S ANOTHER PROBLEM.
I MEAN, NOT A SINGLE WORD
OF ENGLISH?
THERE ARE ONLY
FIVE VOLUNTEERS HERE.
I FEEL BAD FOR HIM.
HE WATCHED ME SHOWER
LAST NIGHT.
UGH.
YOU GIVE HIM A GOOD SHOW?
I'M SERIOUS.
IT ISN'T FUNNY.
IF YOU WERE SO
FREAKED OUT ABOUT IT,
WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME?
YOU TALKING ABOUT
PERV THE FARMER?
REALLY?
YOU TOLD HIM?
I VOTE THAT WE GET
OUTTA HERE.
BANGKOK'S ONLY
AN HOUR DRIVE AWAY.
WE CAN HITCH IT, WE'LL WALK IT.
WON'T BE THAT BAD.
I TOLD MY MOM
WE WERE STAYING HERE
AND I DON'T WANNA FREAK
HER OUT BY LEAVING EARLY.
I ALREADY EMAILED
MY PARENTS ABOUT IT.
THEY WIRED ME MONEY
THIS MORNING, $1,500,
AT A WESTERN UNION
IN BANGKOK.
WE'LL STILL BE IN THAILAND
THE WHOLE TIME,
BUT WE WON'T HAVE TO
STAY HERE. OKAY?
PHAYU --
[ CONTINUES IN THAI ]
PHAYU MEANS "STORM".
REMEMBER,
IT'S TYPHOON SEASON?
WHAT IF ONE'S COMING?
IT IS. AND PLACES
LIKE THIS GET FLOODED.
IT'S A COUPLE DAYS AWAY, BUT,
I'M NOT GONNA STICK AROUND.
YOU SHOULDN'T, EITHER.
SOLD.
SHE HATES ME.
NO.
MAYBE A LITTLE.
DON'T WORRY.
[ LAUGHS ]
DON'T BE MAD.
I KNOW THAT IT WAS
JUST GONNA BE US,
BUT IT'S STILL GONNA BE FUN.
-THAT'S NOT THE POINT.
OKAY. THEN?
HOW DO YOU KNOW
HE'S TAKING US TO BANGKOK?
HE'S LIVED ALL OVER THAILAND
FOR A YEAR ALREADY.
HE KNOWS WHERE HE'S GOING.
GIRLS GET SNATCHED OVERSEAS
BECAUSE THEY'RE
STUPID ENOUGH
TO FOLLOW SOME GUY.
OR STAY ON SOME FARM
WITH A PEEPING TOM?
SORRY, BUT I LIKE
OUR CHANCES OUT HERE.
[ SINISTER MUSIC PLAYS ]
JEFF? [laughs]
WH-WHERE ARE YOU?
WHERE'D YOU GO?
TOLD YOU HE'S A JERK.

"YOU'RE WELCOME"?
GUY RAISED HIS GUN.
WE COULD'VE
TALKED HIM DOWN.
JACK, LAST TIME
I CHECKED,
WORDS DON'T MAKE YOU
BULLETPROOF.
IT WAS A CLEAN SHOT.
YOU WANNA REVIEW IT?
YEAH.
LET'S FORGET
REVIEWING IT.
HOW ABOUT WE GO FOR COFFEE?
SURE.
[ ALERT BEEPS, RINGS ]
OH, LET ME GUESS.

WELL, YOU'RE WELCOME
TO JOIN US OVERSEAS ANYTIME.
WE'D LOVE TO HAVE YOU.
THANKS, BUT I PREFER
THE COMFORTS OF HOME.

AROUND CAR SEATS AND STROLLERS.
WELL, WAIT TILL THEY
START PLAYING SPORTS.
YOU'LL HAVE A WHOLE
BASKETBALL TEAM
SQUEEZED IN THERE.
WITH MURDERS AND ACCIDENTAL
DEATHS AT A RECORD HIGH,
THAILAND IS QUICKLY
BECOMING ONE
OF THE DEADLIEST DESTINATIONS
FOR TOURISTS.
I REMEMBER
THOSE BRITISH BACKPACKERS
WHO WERE MURDERED THERE
LAST SUMMER.
GUESS THAT DIDN'T STOP
OUR VICTIMS FROM VISITING.
WHAT DO WE GOT, JACK?
AMERICAN COLLEGE FRESHMEN
LAURA JOHNSON
AND SARAH HARRIS WENT
OFF THE GRID 2 DAYS AGO
AND THE LATEST MESSAGES
INDICATED THEY WERE
IN HOSTILE SURROUNDINGS.
WE'LL BE TAKING OFF
IN 3 MINUTES.
GOOD MORNING, HANDSOME.
HELLO, LOVELY.
WE GOT THE BASICS.
FILL US IN, MONTY.
OKAY. LAURA AND SARAH'S PARENTS
ARE ON THEIR WAY IN FROM OHIO.
THEY CONFIRMED
THE GIRLS SIGNED UP
FOR A VOLUNTEER
FARMING ORGANIZATION
AND LEFT THE U.S.
RIGHT AFTER GRADUATION.
VOLUNTEERING ON FARMS
IS LIKE
THE MILLENNIALS' VERSION OF
BACKPACKING ACROSS EUROPE.
THESE PROGRAMS HAVE BEEN
AROUND SINCE THE 1970s.
YEAH, BUT THEY HAVEN'T REALLY
CAUGHT UP WITH THE TIMES.
THERE'S NO BACKGROUND CHECKS
FOR HOSTS OR VOLUNTEERS.
NOT EXACTLY
THE SAFEST CHOICE.
THEIR CELL PHONES STOPPED
TRANSMITTING SIGNALS
48 HOURS AGO.
-WHAT TIME?
MIDNIGHT.
-WHERE?
A MILE FROM THE FARM,
HEADING NORTH TOWARD BANGKOK.
I SENT COORDINATES.
THAT'S THE MIDDLE
OF NOWHERE.
AND THE GIRLS
ARE ADVENTUROUS TYPES,
BUT NOT ADVERSE-
RISK TAKERS.
LEAVING THE FARM
AT MIDNIGHT
DOESN'T SOUND LIKE
SOMETHING THEY'D DO.
UNLESS THEY WERE TALKED
INTO LEAVING.
MONTY, WHO'S THE GUY
WHO MET THEM IN THAILAND?
JEFF LITTLE.
NO CELL PHONE, NO CREDIT CARDS.
ACCORDING TO THE GIRLS' PHOTOS,
THEY MET AT THE LATEST FARM.
LAURA SENT A SELFIE
OF HER AND JEFF,
BUT SARAH WASN'T IN THE PHOTO
AND SHE DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING
TO HER MOM ABOUT IT.
TRIANGLE?
NEVER BEEN A FAN OF A GUY
WHO COMES BETWEEN FRIENDS.
Simmons: ANYTHING WE
SHOULD BE WORRIED ABOUT?
YEAH. HE WAS CHARGED
WITH STATUTORY RAPE
AND KICKED OUT OF TULANE
LAST YEAR.
HE WAS 19.
WAY TO BURY THE LEAD,
MONTY.
I'M NOT SURE
HOW SERIOUS IT WAS.
THE ROMEO AND JULIET LAW
HAS DOWNGRADED HIS CONVICTION
FROM A FELONY TO A MISDEMEANOR.
HE'S BEEN LIVIN'
ALL OVER THAILAND EVER SINCE.
WITH NO TRACEABLE FUNDS.
TWO GIRLS OUT OF
THEIR COMFORT ZONE,
A GUY WITH NO MEANS
OF INCOME.
AND THE LURE OF MONEY.
LAURA'S MOM WIRED $1,500.
WHEN IT WASN'T PICKED UP
IN 2 DAYS,
SHE CALLED THE STATE DEPARTMENT.
EVEN ON FOOT,
FROM WHERE THEY WERE,
IT WOULDN'T TAKE 'EM
2 DAYS TO WALK TO BANGKOK.
SOMETHING BAD HAPPENED
ALONG THE WAY.
WHAT DO THE
ROYAL THAI POLICE SAY?
WITHOUT A BODY,
THERE IS NO CRIME.
THE DIRECTOR PERSONALLY
TASKED US TO INVESTIGATE
AND WE'RE NOT GONNA WAIT
FOR A BODY.
[ CHIME ]
GOOD.
LOCAL POLICE SHOULD KNOW THAT
WE'RE ALL ON THE SAME SIDE.
IT'S NOT THEIR JOB TO WORRY
ABOUT MISSING AMERICANS.
IT'S OURS.
[ SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC CLIMBS ]
I'M SO SORRY.
THIS IS ALL MY FAULT.
YOU GOT TO STOP
SAYING THAT.
BUT IT IS.
BENZ NEVER
WATCHED ME SHOWER.
JEFF TOLD ME
TO TELL YOU THAT.
HE KNEW
IT WAS THE ONLY THING
THAT WOULD
MAKE YOU LEAVE.
SO DO YOU THINK
JEFF AND BENZ
ARE WORKING ON THIS
TOGETHER?
PROBABLY.
I DON'T KNOW.
HEY.
HAVE YOU EATEN YET?
IT'S BEEN 2 DAYS.
I CAN'T.
WE NEED OUR STRENGTH
TO GET OUT OF HERE.
I DON'T GET IT.

MAYBE HE WON'T.

MADE THE BEST LIFE CHOICES

THAT HE'S ATTACHED
HIMSELF TO THESE GIRLS.
HE PLAYED FAVORITES,

FOR A REASON.

BEEN GROOMING LAURA

THAT HE DID IT RIGHT AWAY.
