Criminal Minds: Beyond Borders (2016–2017): Season 2, Episode 1 - Criminal Minds: Beyond Borders - full transcript
Unit Chief Jack Garrett and his International Response Team are called to Tanzania when a 23-member church group disappears.
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.
♪♪
Remember how to say "cheese"?
Jibini!
One more time.
Jibini!
Okay, everybody
on the train now.
This way, ma'am.
So we're done working
at the village?
Yeah.
You gonna miss
all the friends you made?
Yeah. They've never been
on a train before.
Well, this one's gonna
take all night,
so you better get
some sleep.
What about the treat?
Everybody's talking about it.
It's called a retreat.
It means we're done working,
and the rest of our trip is
all about relaxing.
Sound good?
Sure, but can there also
be a real treat?
Let me see what I got in here.
Ooh, looks like someone's been
eating all the fruit snacks.
Let me help you with this.
-Thank you.
-You're welcome.
I saw you push a button,
and the whistle blew.
Would you like to do it
next time?
-Can I?
-Of course. Come.
-Thank you, Gervas.
-You're welcome.
-Elijah, Jacob.
-Hey.
Congratulations on uniting
another community, man.
Couldn't have
done it without you.
No, thanks, Tumo, but it...
it's your spirit
that gives the others
the confidence to follow.
You are too kind.
And let us know how the water
filtration system works, yeah?
I will.
Well, that's our sign.
Hey, until next time.
Elijah, Jacob,
"God is not unjust.
"He will not forget your work
and the love you have shown him
as you helped his people
and continue to help them."
It's one of
my favorite verses.
Amen, my brother.
Amen.
Raising children requires
patience, kindness,
compassion, responsibility.
The list goes on.
When we practice this,
our kids absorb it.
Leading by example
is the finest and hardest lesson
in raising good people.
Giving oneself
to a greater purpose
is a fine model.
We are blessed to have
many members of our congregation
who shoulder an enormous
responsibility to keep us safe.
And they've passed that on.
All right, who's up for
my famous pancakes?
Me!
Me, too.
Ryan?
Don't kill me.
I have to work.
Oh, come on.
On an empty stomach?
You getting on a plane
or are you going to the office?
The office.
Well, you can swing by,
and you can have the first batch
and be at your desk by noon.
You sure?
I've seen you on the griddle,
Dad. It takes you a while.
What is it
you're always saying?
"You can't rush perfection."
Uh, well, that's true,
but you gotta come by anyway.
Your mom and I don't
see you enough.
Done.
Ryan, you wanna race
to the car?
Oh, you are on,
little brother.
Ready? Set.
- Go!
- Go, R.J.!
Have you thought about
R.J.'s request?
You know I wouldn't give this
my blessing
if I hadn't done the research.
It's a great group
and a safe trip.
He's still awfully young,
and the Dominican Republic
is too far away.
How about the other camp?
He loves that place.
When he was little, he did.
He's 14.
He wants to volunteer
and make a difference.
He grew up watching you
do it.
When's the last time we had
a Sunday at the park?
You know that's a cue
for my phone to ring.
I know. I debated whether
I should say it out loud.
It's a miracle.
Put that down.
Well, we should make
the best of it, huh?
Hey! Who wants to play
hide-and-seek?
- Me, me, me, me!
- Yeah?
Hide-and-seek. Ready?
Go!
To good friends
and Sunday brunch.
We haven't done this
in a while.
Thanks for making this
happen, Monty.
Just meant I had to wake up
at zero dark thirty
for Grandma's Sunday mass,
but I am happy to sacrifice
the sleep
if it means I can see
all my ladies in one day.
Aw.
So does that mean you have room
for any other ladies
in your life?
Um...depends.
Come on. Spill it, Seger.
Okay, I just met
this very sweet girl
who moved into my neighborhood.
I think I may have finally found
someone worthy of you.
Oh. Well, let's make this
a win-win then...
'cause I met this guy
at this comic book convention.
He would be great for you.
Just meet him.
Wow.
Huh.
"Huh" isn't "no."
We're making some progress.
You mean just, like,
for coffee or something.
-Yeah. Yeah, that works.
-This is good.
- My heart's singin'.
- It's just coffee.
Yeah, well, it sounds like
the beginning
of a new chapter to me.
Yeah, well, I think it is.
Cheers!
The train for Shinyanga will be
leaving in 10 minutes.
Good morning.
We've arrived at Arusha.
Hello?
Anybody here?
We've got 23 missing Americans
in Tanzania.
They're members of the Brunswick
Mission Church in Texas.
They spent a week
volunteering in villages
before they disappeared.
They were last seen en route
to a rural retreat.
Uh, the conductor
had eyes on them
about 2:30 in the morning,
their time.
Well, that was 12 hours ago.
A lot can happen
between now and then.
Have the local police
searched the area
where the train stopped?
That's the thing.
They didn't stop.
Well, you're... you're saying
23 people vanished
from a moving train?
-How the hell does that happen?
Yes, but all the employees
insisted
there was no stops,
no commotion.
-Then what's their explanation?
-The Rapture.
Like... "plucked from the Earth
and taken to Heaven" Rapture?
The one and only.
Yeah, well, we have to assume
that it wasn't a miracle
that took these people.
How does an UNSUB take
23 people?
Well, we can't figure out
the how unless we know the who.
Who has the skills
to pull this off?
It'd have to be
an organized group
who's done
this kind of thing before.
And I bet
they're heavily armed.
Well, criminal gangs and rebels
have surged into Tanzania
to escape their own unrest.
I mean,
travelers are easy prey.
And once the Americans left
the capital of Dar es Salaam,
the rest of the trip is rural.
Monty, any luck on getting us
the passenger manifest?
No, because most tickets
were purchased in cash.
However, I am trying
to figure out
how many more passengers
there were on the train
by going through the background
in social media posts.
The Americans posted these
on their way to the retreat,
before the cellphone service
went out.
Do all the missing have active
social media accounts?
No. About half of them. Why?
Because their loved ones
are gonna be expecting
an update soon.
Yeah, we should get ahead
of this, reach out
to their families.
Monty, we need to control
what gets out,
so it's best they come to you.
That's a lot of people.
Maybe the B.A.U. can help.
It's important that they do not
alert the press.
Yeah, if there's a story,
organized UNSUBs like this
will follow, and they'll be
two steps ahead of us.
Both governments have agreed
to wait 24 hours
before releasing
a media statement.
Clock starts when you land.
Well, a day doesn't give us
much time to find 'em.
Well, let's hit the ground
running.
Local police have started
a search,
but the area is so vast, they
need us to help narrow it down.
These people were out
to help others.
I'm not about to let them
get punished for it.
♪♪
♪♪
A Tanzanian proverb says,
"Little by little,
a little becomes a lot."
-Inspector Polino.
-Unit Chief Garrett.
This is my team... agents
Simmons, Seger, and Jarvis.
Agents, please come this way.
We saw no forced entry,
and it looks like
the belongings of the Americans
are still on board.
We need to speak
with the employees
who discovered this.
I hope you get more out of them
than I did.
Are they cooperating?
Yes, just insistent
on their beliefs.
But I believe
there's someone responsible.
Does this look like the work
of any militias
or rebels around here?
There are legends out there...
men who go beyond
just stealing what they can
and leaving tourists stranded,
ones who want to punish.
Can you lead us to these men?
They are who they are
because we cannot catch them.
They attack and move on. They
are the most dangerous ones.
I understand that,
but right now,
they're our best lead,
so we need to track 'em down.
Clara and Mae,
you start on victimology
from what's left of the train.
Simmons, you should look
at routes
and talk to the conductor
who found the empty car.
Inspector, I'd like to talk
to the search party.
They are gathering here soon.
I also have officers
searching the route,
but they are overwhelmed.
The train traveled overnight,
no stations between.
Where do we begin?
Well, give us an hour.
We'll have a starting point.
Okay, right this way.
Yes, you can send me
more photos.
Digital files are fine.
Excuse me.
23 people
missing from a train?
-How does that even happen?
-I don't know, but it did.
And now
it's everyone's nightmare.
Those families must be a mess.
I mean, at least they're
all in that room
so they can get updates
all the time, but...
there's only 10 of them.
Where's the rest
of the family members?
Not all the families have
obvious next of kin.
That's what makes it tricky.
Well, did you check
the next-of-kin database?
-What about NamUs?
-Yes, but there's not much info.
I mean, the missing are
a low-key group.
So they kind of fly under
the radar, so it makes sense.
But because we have to keep
this super-contained,
so I can only really share
what I say and to who.
I've been checking social media
for close relatives,
but it seems the only people
who are keeping track of them
were their siblings
and parents.
Okay. That's a kick-ass start.
Would I be toe-stepping
if I offered to help?
I could dig into
the database dungeon.
I could search for
family members that aren't here.
I could stay with the ones
that are here.
I would love it
if you could do both.
I would also love it
if we could clone ourselves.
Right?
We need, like, 10 of us.
I would offer up my team,
but they're in Nebraska.
It's fine. If you can just
stay here with them,
then I can go search
for relatives I can trust.
Great. I-I will make tea,
because that always helps.
So the youngest is Nicholas...
7 years old.
son to single mom Rebecca.
That's brave to bring him
all this way.
Well, yeah, but they were
traveling with their church,
so it's essentially
an extended family.
That's weird.
What?
If this has anything to do
with money,
it's strange that the UNSUBs
didn't take
any of the valuables.
This attack was quick
and efficient.
They prioritized.
Maybe they were holding out
for something more, you know,
like ransom.
Yeah.
Also
a forensic countermeasure.
There's no reason for us
to track the GPS,
since all their phones
are right here.
And like the inspector said,
there's no sign of forced entry.
The only thing is this door.
Looks like it was jammed
from the inside.
Maybe the UNSUBs were
on board.
Yeah, but jumping would have
caused a lot of injuries.
Unless this is an inside job.
Yeah, this would make
a lot more sense
if one of the employees
was in on it.
Yes, Gervas.
And I speak English.
Thank you for helping us.
So were you the last one
to see the Americans?
I did rounds at 2:30.
Everything was fine.
And you arrived here at...
at 6:30 this morning.
That's right.
So somewhere in the span
of that four hours,
the 23 Americans disappeared.
Do you know how that happened?
I think it was the Rapture.
They were delivered
to Heaven.
You think they were
the chosen ones?
-I do.
-But you were not.
It's okay. I have
many responsibilities here.
You have children?
Yes. Do you?
Yeah.
Yeah, and I keep thinking about
what those parents
are going through
back in the United States.
They need answers.
They should be happy.
Their loved ones are with God.
You cannot prove that.
Listen...
I can't do my job
unless I look at all sides.
The thing is, I do believe
they were chosen,
just not in the same way
you believe in.
And whoever took them
was watching
and waiting for them
to be vulnerable.
I think they're organized,
I think they're patient,
and I also think they needed
help from the inside
to pull this off.
Now you're saying
the train never stopped.
-That's correct.
-Well, forgive me for asking,
but if someone were
to threaten your family,
would you do whatever it took
to protect them?
Of course.
Would you stop a train so they
could kidnap 23 Americans?
Listen, I swear on my children's
lives that did not happen.
Do you understand
what I'm saying to you?
Look, if I'm lying, my children
will be damned to hell.
Look, I had nothing to do
with this.
I swear to you, I did not
do anything. Please...
Okay, okay, okay.
All right.
I believe you. I need your help.
You've worked this train
for years.
-Yes.
-All right.
So there's 400 miles between
when you last saw them
and when you arrived here
in Arusha.
Can you show me any terrain
where you may have slowed down,
even a little bit?
Yeah, I can do that.
First of all,
I want to thank you all
for volunteering your time.
We believe we're dealing with
a specialized abduction,
requiring many offenders.
They're confident, organized,
and have the means
to hold 23 people hostage.
They likely have access
to encampments,
vehicles, and weapons.
We're narrowing down
a starting point for the search
and can begin to canvass
as soon as we confirm.
-Thank you.
-Asante tena.
Guys, we got a possible
point of attack.
Let's go.
♪♪
So the train slowed down here
to get over this trellis.
This could have been
the snatch-and-grab point,
but it's doubtful
they kept them here.
There's not much around.
They were definitely exposed.
And look over there. They must
have come down that hill.
The footprints...
they were all scattered.
It would have been chaos,
but they gained control.
Which way did they go?
Guys, I got something here.
It looks like
one of the leaders...
Jacob Ross.
♪♪
They've got eyes on us,
up on the ridge.
What do you know about
those rebels?
The flag is a Somali rebellion
that's wreaked havoc
all over the continent.
They are at odds with everyone.
If the Americans are
held hostage inside that camp,
I'll lead the negotiation.
I'm not calling in
armed forces.
Their presence could inflame
the situation.
Yeah, but we do have one thing
on our side.
In Somali culture, there's
something called...
...which roughly translates
to "fighting while seated."
Those at odds can be civil
unless they're
on the battlefield.
Okay, then. Simmons, Polino,
and I will approach.
Clara, you and Mae lead
the search party.
We found one body.
There may be more.
We are here for a
peaceful resolution.
Who's your leader?
We were litter mates.
Sit.
My name is Jack Garrett.
This is Matt Simmons,
and that's Inspector Polino.
Last night, 23 Americans were
taken off a train,
and one was killed
a quarter-mile from here.
I think you may know
who did it.
There are only 12 of us here.
Why would I take more men
than I could control?
It only takes one gun
to control a group.
I see plenty of those
around here.
I have paid for my weapons.
-By robbing innocent people.
-Those are your words, not mine.
So you found
just one dead American
at the bottom of my hill?
-Yes.
I thought after 9/11, you people
were taught to fight back.
Or are the rest
of the missing Americans
just a bunch of cowards?
Keep moving!
Hold on.
Go.
What did you find out up there?
Do they have the Americans?
Well, it wasn't those guys.
I mean, they're horrible,
but they haven't got the space
to hide anyone up there.
And they're not organized enough
for a mass abduction.
-What have you got?
-Looks like Jacob Ross suffered
multiple contusions
from multiple sources.
Put up a hell of a fight. He has
defensive wounds all over.
The C.O.D. is still
undetermined,
since I can't properly examine
the corpse out here,
but right now, I'd say
it's a tie between
the blunt force trauma
to his skull
or the stab wounds
in his abdomen.
Overkill, anyone?
The UNSUBs may have taken
the whole group,
but I think that the target
of their rage was Jacob.
Well, he and a handful
of others
have volunteered
in Tanzania before.
Maybe they made enemies.
-We should look into
their previous trips, see if
there's any other conflicts.
Well, they are organized enough
to plan
forensic countermeasures,
like dumping Jacob's body
near the Somali rebel camp.
Well, the overkill tells us
there's a personal connection,
and they want them
to be punished.
Killing Jacob is proof that
they mean what they say.
We should also look
for secure locations
where they could keep 22 people.
Yeah. Problem is,
if they have vehicles,
they could be long gone by now.
Where's Jacob?
When we got off the train,
I saw a bad man take
Elijah and Jacob away.
Did he hurt them?
- Yeah.
- Are they gonna hurt us, too?
Elijah's gonna be okay.
We all will.
Aren't you afraid, too, John?
Of course,
but I also have faith.
Since discovering Jacob's body,
I did some digging
and found his wife Sarah.
She filed for divorce
about a year ago,
but Jacob never signed
the papers.
And that's when I started
doing some digging
and found
something interesting.
Jacob doesn't have
any personal banking,
but he has opened
all of the mission's accounts.
He's overseen hundreds of
thousands of dollars in goods,
which have been shipped
to Tanzanian projects.
Jacob is the only American
associated with the goodwill.
That could be why
he was targeted.
Who's his contact
in Tanzania?
Tumo Makani,
the minister
of several villages.
Now, Tumo's receipts for goods
don't really match up
with Jacob's waybills.
I think Tumo was stealing.
He's the man between Jacob
and Elijah in this photo.
Keep your friends close...
Tumo's got compounds and his
own volunteers all over,
but there is a spot
about 50 miles from
your current location.
-Send us the coordinates.
-Done.
He's got a personal connection
to the victim
and the means and motive
to pull this off.
Let's go.
Tumo.
♪♪
FBI! Freeze!
Tumo, stop!
Uhh! Aah!
Get up! Get up! Up!
What do you know?!
Where are they?!
Tumo, where are the Americans?
They are long gone by now.
♪♪
Where are they taking us?
What are they saying?
He said, "saa nyingine."
I think it means "another hour."
Another hour?
Until what?
Until somebody else gets hurt?
Until they kill us all?
What happened to Jacob Ross?
I last left him on the train.
Jacob's dead, and the Americans
are missing.
Someone took them off.
Where were you and your men
at 2 in the morning?
On our way here.
It took all night.
Why'd you run?
Because we took advantage
of the kindness.
We stole from the shipments.
But that's it.
He doesn't leave until we get
some answers. Jack Garrett.
Tumo said that he stole
from Jacob,
but this isn't even
a fraction of the supplies
that Jacob sent to Tanzania.
Maybe he's hiding the rest
at another compound.
Or maybe he's just lying.
What's wrong?
Tanzanians want to send in
special ops,
which could compromise
everything.
The minute they deploy,
the media's gonna be
all over it.
- How much time do we have?
- Until midnight.
So it's been a year
since you last saw Jacob?
A little over that,
actually.
And you two
are not divorced?
Jacob wouldn't betray
his promise to God.
And that's when you moved in
with your sister.
Yes.
Look, I know Jacob was
really involved with
the Brunswick Mission Church.
-Yeah.
And it seems like
him and Elijah Ward
organized the trips
to Tanzania.
Mm-hmm. Jacob would follow
Elijah anywhere.
Look, do you have something
I need to sign
or identify Jacob's body?
'Cause I really have to go.
I just need you to answer
a few more of my questions.
Come with me.
When we looked at the things
left behind on the train,
women were the only ones
who had personal items.
The men traveled light.
-That sounds stereotypical.
-Except it gets weirder.
Monty said that he's only
been able to get ahold
of the missing women's
families
because they all had
social media accounts.
And none of the men had any
social media presence at all.
Zilch.
Go ahead, Monty.
So Jacob's estranged wife
is here,
and she got really anxious
when I mentioned the church
and, more specifically,
Elijah Ward.
She said that Jacob would
follow Elijah anywhere
and actually referred to him
as a "loyal subject."
Interesting choice of words.
So they're not the partners
that we thought they were.
Elijah's the leader.
And Jacob was killed by
somebody he knows.
Let's focus on Elijah.
Come, come. Let's go.
This way. Move.
My brothers,
come this way...
The path has been cleared.
Elijah started
this devout group,
initiated Jacob
as his right hand,
and then 11 more men joined
over the next few years.
Elijah and his 12 disciples.
And then he slowly recruited
nine more women,
including Rebecca Moore,
who brought along her son.
According to their loved ones,
all these women
struggled with abuse
and were searching for help.
Which would make them
easier to manipulate.
I think these women were taken
against their will.
They were far from home,
which gives Elijah the ultimate
power and control over them.
They'd be too afraid
to revolt.
We were looking
in the wrong direction.
The UNSUB's on the inside.
-This is a radical cult,
and Elijah is
their charismatic leader.
He groomed these women
to trust him.
He used their faith
against them.
We can't let him
get away with this.
So...where would Elijah
take them?
John.
What's wrong?
What's going on?
Did you know this was happening?
We couldn't tell everyone.
The mission could have been
compromised.
What...mission?
To start over... here,
all of us.
You can go now, John.
What is it, Rebecca?
You...tricked us.
No.
I tested you.
How many times have I told you
to stop victimizing yourself?
Now you believe, as I do,
that we all have to go through
hell before we get to Heaven.
You... you told me
that you would do anything
to get away from your hell.
Your bruises may have healed
on the outside,
but inside, you are still broken
and still bleeding.
You need me
to help you to be strong
for this young man
that you are raising.
You... you'd do anything
for him, right?
I would never hurt you,
like his father did.
Don't you have faith,
Rebecca?
Yes. Of course I do.
You have to stop letting
fear guide you.
What kind of a lesson is that
for Nicholas?
It's beautiful here, son.
You'll see.
Our initial profile
was correct.
This is
a mission-oriented group,
but Elijah is their leader.
And it took years
for him to plan this.
Everything he does,
he does for a reason.
He chose
all of these villages.
Do they have any meaning
to you?
These spiritual leaders
are extremist.
Probably recruited those men
to help set up the commune.
Elijah suffers from
a religious psychopathology
referred to
as a "Moses complex."
He doesn't think he's God,
but believes he speaks for him.
And he believes
he was chosen by God
to lead his people
to the promised land.
We've done it.
Monty just sent this.
"Elijah was born and raised
by a delusional young couple
who believed that he could
speak to God."
And they named him
accordingly.
Elijah was a Hebrew prophet
in both the books of Kings
in the Old Testament.
"His parents were arrested
"for severe abuse
of their other children.
All were taken away, but it was
too late for Elijah."
He was driven to make
his parents' belief
his life's mission.
He wasn't afraid
to kill for it.
Jacob's murder unleashed
a homicidal rage.
And if he's showing signs
of euphoric stress,
it could fuel him to take
more risks and hurt more people.
What were
his siblings's names?
He was the youngest of eight.
Kids were Ezekiel, Isaac, Ruth,
Caleb, Miriam, Rachel,
and Samuel.
Why?
All names
from the Old Testament.
It was drilled into his head.
He planned the train ride
to get them close
to the Olduvai Gorge.
And historians believe that is
the original Garden of Eden.
I know a shortcut.
The journey started
five years ago,
when all of you brothers
and sisters said
that you were lost.
Together, we are found.
Let us bow our heads
and give thanks to our maker,
who has brought us safely
to our new home.
Mama, I don't like this place.
I wanna go home.
I know.
What's the matter?
Are you afraid?
Yes.
Haven't I told you
that fear is for the weak?
Y-yes.
And are you weak, Nicholas?
No.
-Mama!
-Bring him back.
-This needs to end now.
-Nicholas, it's okay.
-Mama, please!
-Hey, Nicholas!
-Elijah!
-Mama!
-Nicholas? Elijah, please.
-Mama!
Elijah, bring him back.
Elijah. Elijah, please.
Elijah, please,
don't hurt him.
Elijah, please/
-Mama! Mama!
-Please, Elijah, don't hurt him!
-Mama, please!
-Elijah, please!
Someone help him!
Elijah, please!
Please! No!
He is delivered
from sin, death, and the Devil.
He has entered our kingdom
here on Earth.
You're home now.
-No need to be afraid anymore.
-Mama!

It's not for you to judge.
I'm not judging.
I'm protecting those

He was brutally murdered.
It's the way he was killed

It was personal.
He showed signs

bloody knuckles,
skin under his fingernails.
Who did that to your face?
Why would I kill Jacob?
He threatened your leadership,
and you punished him for it.
Then you sacrificed Jacob
to lead the investigation away
from your paradise.
You're a false prophet
and a murderer.
How dare you come in here
and spill those lies?
All you men

How much longer

Okay. You're safe now.

See if that's yours.
My blood will be

You will have sinned.
All you ever wanted

Raising children requires
patience, kindness,

Cheers!
The train for Shinyanga will be
leaving in 10 minutes.
Good morning.
We've arrived at Arusha.
Hello?
Anybody here?
We've got 23 missing Americans
in Tanzania.
They're members of the Brunswick
Mission Church in Texas.
They spent a week
volunteering in villages
before they disappeared.
They were last seen en route
to a rural retreat.
Uh, the conductor
had eyes on them
about 2:30 in the morning,
their time.
Well, that was 12 hours ago.
A lot can happen
between now and then.
Have the local police
searched the area
where the train stopped?
That's the thing.
They didn't stop.
Well, you're... you're saying
23 people vanished
from a moving train?
-How the hell does that happen?
Yes, but all the employees
insisted
there was no stops,
no commotion.
-Then what's their explanation?
-The Rapture.
Like... "plucked from the Earth
and taken to Heaven" Rapture?
The one and only.
Yeah, well, we have to assume
that it wasn't a miracle
that took these people.
How does an UNSUB take
23 people?
Well, we can't figure out
the how unless we know the who.
Who has the skills
to pull this off?
It'd have to be
an organized group
who's done
this kind of thing before.
And I bet
they're heavily armed.
Well, criminal gangs and rebels
have surged into Tanzania
to escape their own unrest.
I mean,
travelers are easy prey.
And once the Americans left
the capital of Dar es Salaam,
the rest of the trip is rural.
Monty, any luck on getting us
the passenger manifest?
No, because most tickets
were purchased in cash.
However, I am trying
to figure out
how many more passengers
there were on the train
by going through the background
in social media posts.
The Americans posted these
on their way to the retreat,
before the cellphone service
went out.
Do all the missing have active
social media accounts?
No. About half of them. Why?
Because their loved ones
are gonna be expecting
an update soon.
Yeah, we should get ahead
of this, reach out
to their families.
Monty, we need to control
what gets out,
so it's best they come to you.
That's a lot of people.
Maybe the B.A.U. can help.
It's important that they do not
alert the press.
Yeah, if there's a story,
organized UNSUBs like this
will follow, and they'll be
two steps ahead of us.
Both governments have agreed
to wait 24 hours
before releasing
a media statement.
Clock starts when you land.
Well, a day doesn't give us
much time to find 'em.
Well, let's hit the ground
running.
Local police have started
a search,
but the area is so vast, they
need us to help narrow it down.
These people were out
to help others.
I'm not about to let them
get punished for it.

A Tanzanian proverb says,
"Little by little,
a little becomes a lot."
-Inspector Polino.
-Unit Chief Garrett.
This is my team... agents
Simmons, Seger, and Jarvis.
Agents, please come this way.
We saw no forced entry,
and it looks like
the belongings of the Americans
are still on board.
We need to speak
with the employees
who discovered this.
I hope you get more out of them
than I did.
Are they cooperating?
Yes, just insistent
on their beliefs.
But I believe
there's someone responsible.
Does this look like the work
of any militias
or rebels around here?
There are legends out there...
men who go beyond
just stealing what they can
and leaving tourists stranded,
ones who want to punish.
Can you lead us to these men?
They are who they are
because we cannot catch them.
They attack and move on. They
are the most dangerous ones.
I understand that,
but right now,
they're our best lead,
so we need to track 'em down.
Clara and Mae,
you start on victimology
from what's left of the train.
Simmons, you should look
at routes
and talk to the conductor
who found the empty car.
Inspector, I'd like to talk
to the search party.
They are gathering here soon.
I also have officers
searching the route,
but they are overwhelmed.
The train traveled overnight,
no stations between.
Where do we begin?
Well, give us an hour.
We'll have a starting point.
Okay, right this way.
Yes, you can send me
more photos.
Digital files are fine.
Excuse me.
23 people
missing from a train?
-How does that even happen?
-I don't know, but it did.
And now
it's everyone's nightmare.
Those families must be a mess.
I mean, at least they're
all in that room
so they can get updates
all the time, but...
there's only 10 of them.
Where's the rest
of the family members?
Not all the families have
obvious next of kin.
That's what makes it tricky.
Well, did you check
the next-of-kin database?
-What about NamUs?
-Yes, but there's not much info.
I mean, the missing are
a low-key group.
So they kind of fly under
the radar, so it makes sense.
But because we have to keep
this super-contained,
so I can only really share
what I say and to who.
I've been checking social media
for close relatives,
but it seems the only people
who are keeping track of them
were their siblings
and parents.
Okay. That's a kick-ass start.
Would I be toe-stepping
if I offered to help?
I could dig into
the database dungeon.
I could search for
family members that aren't here.
I could stay with the ones
that are here.
I would love it
if you could do both.
I would also love it
if we could clone ourselves.
Right?
We need, like, 10 of us.
I would offer up my team,
but they're in Nebraska.
It's fine. If you can just
stay here with them,
then I can go search
for relatives I can trust.
Great. I-I will make tea,
because that always helps.
So the youngest is Nicholas...
7 years old.
son to single mom Rebecca.
That's brave to bring him
all this way.
Well, yeah, but they were
traveling with their church,
so it's essentially
an extended family.
That's weird.
What?
If this has anything to do
with money,
it's strange that the UNSUBs
didn't take
any of the valuables.
This attack was quick
and efficient.
They prioritized.
Maybe they were holding out
for something more, you know,
like ransom.
Yeah.
Also
a forensic countermeasure.
There's no reason for us
to track the GPS,
since all their phones
are right here.
And like the inspector said,
there's no sign of forced entry.
The only thing is this door.
Looks like it was jammed
from the inside.
Maybe the UNSUBs were
on board.
Yeah, but jumping would have
caused a lot of injuries.
Unless this is an inside job.
Yeah, this would make
a lot more sense
if one of the employees
was in on it.
Yes, Gervas.
And I speak English.
Thank you for helping us.
So were you the last one
to see the Americans?
I did rounds at 2:30.
Everything was fine.
And you arrived here at...
at 6:30 this morning.
That's right.
So somewhere in the span
of that four hours,
the 23 Americans disappeared.
Do you know how that happened?
I think it was the Rapture.
They were delivered
to Heaven.
You think they were
the chosen ones?
-I do.
-But you were not.
It's okay. I have
many responsibilities here.
You have children?
Yes. Do you?
Yeah.
Yeah, and I keep thinking about
what those parents
are going through
back in the United States.
They need answers.
They should be happy.
Their loved ones are with God.
You cannot prove that.
Listen...
I can't do my job
unless I look at all sides.
The thing is, I do believe
they were chosen,
just not in the same way
you believe in.
And whoever took them
was watching
and waiting for them
to be vulnerable.
I think they're organized,
I think they're patient,
and I also think they needed
help from the inside
to pull this off.
Now you're saying
the train never stopped.
-That's correct.
-Well, forgive me for asking,
but if someone were
to threaten your family,
would you do whatever it took
to protect them?
Of course.
Would you stop a train so they
could kidnap 23 Americans?
Listen, I swear on my children's
lives that did not happen.
Do you understand
what I'm saying to you?
Look, if I'm lying, my children
will be damned to hell.
Look, I had nothing to do
with this.
I swear to you, I did not
do anything. Please...
Okay, okay, okay.
All right.
I believe you. I need your help.
You've worked this train
for years.
-Yes.
-All right.
So there's 400 miles between
when you last saw them
and when you arrived here
in Arusha.
Can you show me any terrain
where you may have slowed down,
even a little bit?
Yeah, I can do that.
First of all,
I want to thank you all
for volunteering your time.
We believe we're dealing with
a specialized abduction,
requiring many offenders.
They're confident, organized,
and have the means
to hold 23 people hostage.
They likely have access
to encampments,
vehicles, and weapons.
We're narrowing down
a starting point for the search
and can begin to canvass
as soon as we confirm.
-Thank you.
-Asante tena.
Guys, we got a possible
point of attack.
Let's go.
♪♪
So the train slowed down here
to get over this trellis.
This could have been
the snatch-and-grab point,
but it's doubtful
they kept them here.
There's not much around.
They were definitely exposed.
And look over there. They must
have come down that hill.
The footprints...
they were all scattered.
It would have been chaos,
but they gained control.
Which way did they go?
Guys, I got something here.
It looks like
one of the leaders...
Jacob Ross.
♪♪
They've got eyes on us,
up on the ridge.
What do you know about
those rebels?
The flag is a Somali rebellion
that's wreaked havoc
all over the continent.
They are at odds with everyone.
If the Americans are
held hostage inside that camp,
I'll lead the negotiation.
I'm not calling in
armed forces.
Their presence could inflame
the situation.
Yeah, but we do have one thing
on our side.
In Somali culture, there's
something called...
...which roughly translates
to "fighting while seated."
Those at odds can be civil
unless they're
on the battlefield.
Okay, then. Simmons, Polino,
and I will approach.
Clara, you and Mae lead
the search party.
We found one body.
There may be more.
We are here for a
peaceful resolution.
Who's your leader?
We were litter mates.
Sit.
My name is Jack Garrett.
This is Matt Simmons,
and that's Inspector Polino.
Last night, 23 Americans were
taken off a train,
and one was killed
a quarter-mile from here.
I think you may know
who did it.
There are only 12 of us here.
Why would I take more men
than I could control?
It only takes one gun
to control a group.
I see plenty of those
around here.
I have paid for my weapons.
-By robbing innocent people.
-Those are your words, not mine.
So you found
just one dead American
at the bottom of my hill?
-Yes.
I thought after 9/11, you people
were taught to fight back.
Or are the rest
of the missing Americans
just a bunch of cowards?
Keep moving!
Hold on.
Go.
What did you find out up there?
Do they have the Americans?
Well, it wasn't those guys.
I mean, they're horrible,
but they haven't got the space
to hide anyone up there.
And they're not organized enough
for a mass abduction.
-What have you got?
-Looks like Jacob Ross suffered
multiple contusions
from multiple sources.
Put up a hell of a fight. He has
defensive wounds all over.
The C.O.D. is still
undetermined,
since I can't properly examine
the corpse out here,
but right now, I'd say
it's a tie between
the blunt force trauma
to his skull
or the stab wounds
in his abdomen.
Overkill, anyone?
The UNSUBs may have taken
the whole group,
but I think that the target
of their rage was Jacob.
Well, he and a handful
of others
have volunteered
in Tanzania before.
Maybe they made enemies.
-We should look into
their previous trips, see if
there's any other conflicts.
Well, they are organized enough
to plan
forensic countermeasures,
like dumping Jacob's body
near the Somali rebel camp.
Well, the overkill tells us
there's a personal connection,
and they want them
to be punished.
Killing Jacob is proof that
they mean what they say.
We should also look
for secure locations
where they could keep 22 people.
Yeah. Problem is,
if they have vehicles,
they could be long gone by now.
Where's Jacob?
When we got off the train,
I saw a bad man take
Elijah and Jacob away.
Did he hurt them?
- Yeah.
- Are they gonna hurt us, too?
Elijah's gonna be okay.
We all will.
Aren't you afraid, too, John?
Of course,
but I also have faith.
Since discovering Jacob's body,
I did some digging
and found his wife Sarah.
She filed for divorce
about a year ago,
but Jacob never signed
the papers.
And that's when I started
doing some digging
and found
something interesting.
Jacob doesn't have
any personal banking,
but he has opened
all of the mission's accounts.
He's overseen hundreds of
thousands of dollars in goods,
which have been shipped
to Tanzanian projects.
Jacob is the only American
associated with the goodwill.
That could be why
he was targeted.
Who's his contact
in Tanzania?
Tumo Makani,
the minister
of several villages.
Now, Tumo's receipts for goods
don't really match up
with Jacob's waybills.
I think Tumo was stealing.
He's the man between Jacob
and Elijah in this photo.
Keep your friends close...
Tumo's got compounds and his
own volunteers all over,
but there is a spot
about 50 miles from
your current location.
-Send us the coordinates.
-Done.
He's got a personal connection
to the victim
and the means and motive
to pull this off.
Let's go.
Tumo.
♪♪
FBI! Freeze!
Tumo, stop!
Uhh! Aah!
Get up! Get up! Up!
What do you know?!
Where are they?!
Tumo, where are the Americans?
They are long gone by now.
♪♪
Where are they taking us?
What are they saying?
He said, "saa nyingine."
I think it means "another hour."
Another hour?
Until what?
Until somebody else gets hurt?
Until they kill us all?
What happened to Jacob Ross?
I last left him on the train.
Jacob's dead, and the Americans
are missing.
Someone took them off.
Where were you and your men
at 2 in the morning?
On our way here.
It took all night.
Why'd you run?
Because we took advantage
of the kindness.
We stole from the shipments.
But that's it.
He doesn't leave until we get
some answers. Jack Garrett.
Tumo said that he stole
from Jacob,
but this isn't even
a fraction of the supplies
that Jacob sent to Tanzania.
Maybe he's hiding the rest
at another compound.
Or maybe he's just lying.
What's wrong?
Tanzanians want to send in
special ops,
which could compromise
everything.
The minute they deploy,
the media's gonna be
all over it.
- How much time do we have?
- Until midnight.
So it's been a year
since you last saw Jacob?
A little over that,
actually.
And you two
are not divorced?
Jacob wouldn't betray
his promise to God.
And that's when you moved in
with your sister.
Yes.
Look, I know Jacob was
really involved with
the Brunswick Mission Church.
-Yeah.
And it seems like
him and Elijah Ward
organized the trips
to Tanzania.
Mm-hmm. Jacob would follow
Elijah anywhere.
Look, do you have something
I need to sign
or identify Jacob's body?
'Cause I really have to go.
I just need you to answer
a few more of my questions.
Come with me.
When we looked at the things
left behind on the train,
women were the only ones
who had personal items.
The men traveled light.
-That sounds stereotypical.
-Except it gets weirder.
Monty said that he's only
been able to get ahold
of the missing women's
families
because they all had
social media accounts.
And none of the men had any
social media presence at all.
Zilch.
Go ahead, Monty.
So Jacob's estranged wife
is here,
and she got really anxious
when I mentioned the church
and, more specifically,
Elijah Ward.
She said that Jacob would
follow Elijah anywhere
and actually referred to him
as a "loyal subject."
Interesting choice of words.
So they're not the partners
that we thought they were.
Elijah's the leader.
And Jacob was killed by
somebody he knows.
Let's focus on Elijah.
Come, come. Let's go.
This way. Move.
My brothers,
come this way...
The path has been cleared.
Elijah started
this devout group,
initiated Jacob
as his right hand,
and then 11 more men joined
over the next few years.
Elijah and his 12 disciples.
And then he slowly recruited
nine more women,
including Rebecca Moore,
who brought along her son.
According to their loved ones,
all these women
struggled with abuse
and were searching for help.
Which would make them
easier to manipulate.
I think these women were taken
against their will.
They were far from home,
which gives Elijah the ultimate
power and control over them.
They'd be too afraid
to revolt.
We were looking
in the wrong direction.
The UNSUB's on the inside.
-This is a radical cult,
and Elijah is
their charismatic leader.
He groomed these women
to trust him.
He used their faith
against them.
We can't let him
get away with this.
So...where would Elijah
take them?
John.
What's wrong?
What's going on?
Did you know this was happening?
We couldn't tell everyone.
The mission could have been
compromised.
What...mission?
To start over... here,
all of us.
You can go now, John.
What is it, Rebecca?
You...tricked us.
No.
I tested you.
How many times have I told you
to stop victimizing yourself?
Now you believe, as I do,
that we all have to go through
hell before we get to Heaven.
You... you told me
that you would do anything
to get away from your hell.
Your bruises may have healed
on the outside,
but inside, you are still broken
and still bleeding.
You need me
to help you to be strong
for this young man
that you are raising.
You... you'd do anything
for him, right?
I would never hurt you,
like his father did.
Don't you have faith,
Rebecca?
Yes. Of course I do.
You have to stop letting
fear guide you.
What kind of a lesson is that
for Nicholas?
It's beautiful here, son.
You'll see.
Our initial profile
was correct.
This is
a mission-oriented group,
but Elijah is their leader.
And it took years
for him to plan this.
Everything he does,
he does for a reason.
He chose
all of these villages.
Do they have any meaning
to you?
These spiritual leaders
are extremist.
Probably recruited those men
to help set up the commune.
Elijah suffers from
a religious psychopathology
referred to
as a "Moses complex."
He doesn't think he's God,
but believes he speaks for him.
And he believes
he was chosen by God
to lead his people
to the promised land.
We've done it.
Monty just sent this.
"Elijah was born and raised
by a delusional young couple
who believed that he could
speak to God."
And they named him
accordingly.
Elijah was a Hebrew prophet
in both the books of Kings
in the Old Testament.
"His parents were arrested
"for severe abuse
of their other children.
All were taken away, but it was
too late for Elijah."
He was driven to make
his parents' belief
his life's mission.
He wasn't afraid
to kill for it.
Jacob's murder unleashed
a homicidal rage.
And if he's showing signs
of euphoric stress,
it could fuel him to take
more risks and hurt more people.
What were
his siblings's names?
He was the youngest of eight.
Kids were Ezekiel, Isaac, Ruth,
Caleb, Miriam, Rachel,
and Samuel.
Why?
All names
from the Old Testament.
It was drilled into his head.
He planned the train ride
to get them close
to the Olduvai Gorge.
And historians believe that is
the original Garden of Eden.
I know a shortcut.
The journey started
five years ago,
when all of you brothers
and sisters said
that you were lost.
Together, we are found.
Let us bow our heads
and give thanks to our maker,
who has brought us safely
to our new home.
Mama, I don't like this place.
I wanna go home.
I know.
What's the matter?
Are you afraid?
Yes.
Haven't I told you
that fear is for the weak?
Y-yes.
And are you weak, Nicholas?
No.
-Mama!
-Bring him back.
-This needs to end now.
-Nicholas, it's okay.
-Mama, please!
-Hey, Nicholas!
-Elijah!
-Mama!
-Nicholas? Elijah, please.
-Mama!
Elijah, bring him back.
Elijah. Elijah, please.
Elijah, please,
don't hurt him.
Elijah, please/
-Mama! Mama!
-Please, Elijah, don't hurt him!
-Mama, please!
-Elijah, please!
Someone help him!
Elijah, please!
Please! No!
He is delivered
from sin, death, and the Devil.
He has entered our kingdom
here on Earth.
You're home now.
-No need to be afraid anymore.
-Mama!
Oh, my God. I am so sorry.
It's my fault. I'm so...
Let us join in the sacraments
of admission and adoption.
Brothers and sisters, join me.

Jack?
They'll be protective
and convinced we're attacking.
We don't want another Waco.
We go as a peaceful negotiation.
- He is delivered from sin...
- Amen.
...death, and the Devil.
He has entered into our kingdom
here on Earth.
Amen.
Who are you?
My name is Jack Garrett.
I'm with the FBI.
-You don't belong here, Jack.
-Neither do these people.
We are on our own path.
It's not for you to judge.
I'm not judging.
I'm protecting those
who didn't choose to be here.
Every choice
that they have made
has brought them
to this very spot.
Maybe that's true,
but if anyone's here
against their will,
that's against the law.
Brethren, do you recognize Jack?
He is the serpent
that wants us to deny our truth!
I'm only advocating
free will.
We both believe in that.
Does anyone want to leave?
No one is in danger here,
but your souls will be
if you run back to the life
that you know,
to darkness,
to demons!
We can start over here.
I have built a safe place
for you.
Remember why we left!
This is our destiny!
Don't let them scare you.
God's work
is to spread the light,
not hide it away
from the world.
Why would you hide
everyone away?
Because the world isn't safe.
And it's my fate
to help others.
I know how you feel.
Sometimes, I...
take a leap of faith.
Other times,
I deal with hard facts,
like in this case.
You tricked the women
to join you here.
No, I'm saving them
from the abuse
that they have suffered.
Have you told anyone
what happened to Jacob Ross?
He was brutally murdered.
It's the way he was killed
that told us the most.
It was personal.
He showed signs
of fighting back...
bloody knuckles,
skin under his fingernails.
Who did that to your face?
Why would I kill Jacob?
He threatened your leadership,
and you punished him for it.
Then you sacrificed Jacob
to lead the investigation away
from your paradise.
You're a false prophet
and a murderer.
How dare you come in here
and spill those lies?
All you men
are trusted disciples.
How much longer
before he kills you?
I'm scared.
It's okay.
Free will, right?
Come on. This way.
Okay. You're safe now.
Come on, come on.
You've ruined everything.
Don't you see?
This was their fate.
See if that's yours.
My blood will be
on your hands.
You will have sinned.
All you ever wanted
was power and control.
You have that now.
Now go ahead. Be a martyr.
Killing yourself
makes you a sinner
in the eyes
of your followers,
and you don't want
to do that.
Elijah, give me the gun.
Let go of the gun.
