All language subtitles for Criminal Minds - 14x05 - The Tall Man.KILLERS

Girl: This is so
stupid. What are we, 12?

Second girl: Ok, we're just
having fun. It's all this is.

Hunting for a ghost in the
woods is not my idea of fun.

It's not fun, it's real.

And we're gonna see him
if it takes all night.

All night? Are you... we left
a perfectly good party for this.

And I'm not freezing my
ass off out here all night.

Well, fine, I'll stay
out here by myself.

Tall Man, Tall Man,

long-haired Tall Man.

Never gonna catch me.
Never gonna catch me.

Never gonna catch me.

Ok. Are we gonna do this or not?

Yeah.

Hey, Ally.

What?

Wait up.

Is the fire out?

It's out.

Did you check?

You were right. I'm on fire.

- That's very funny.
- Put me out, Brent. Put me out.

- Ahh.
- [Screaming]

[Sobbing]

He has them. He has them.

He has my friends.

Woman: Who? Who?

The Tall Man.

Breakfast is served.

Thank you, babe.

Say "thank you," boys.

- Thank you.
- Thank you.

You're welcome.

Any special requests while I'm up?

May I have some ketchup with my eggs?

Can I have lime juice?

Lime juice?

What? On your eggs?

[Cell phone vibrating]

I'll go get some.

Will: Lime juice is good, right?

How's the bacon?

Oop. Oop. We got a spill.

Uh-oh. Henry.

Our next case,

where we're headed to.

East Allegheny. Your hometown, huh?

[Sighs] I swore I would get out of there

and never go back.

I have to go.

Right?

Well, you don't have
to do anything, darling.

But this case, two girls
missing in the woods,

it's gonna bother you if you don't go.

Wait, wait, wait. Where?

Where?

In a park, Dead Man's Conservatory.

Is that important?

Yeah.

I think I know what
they were looking for.

JJ: Last night 3 teenage girls

went searching for the Tall Man.

It's a regional ghost story.

According to the survivor
recovered this morning,

they found him.

Alvez: She looks like
she went through hell.

She say what happened?

That would be Ally MacReady.

And according to her,

the Tall Man held them
and cut them repeatedly.

That is consistent with the legend.

So the Tall Man is your classic
don't-go-into-the-woods dare.

Survive the night, you survive him.

He catches you, he cuts you

until you reveal your deepest secrets.

Let's go back to the
victims for a second.

Did they sneak out or
did their parents know?

They told their parents that
they were going to a party,

and they actually did.

Ok, so then off the bat we have

two theories about the unsub.

One is that he knew
they were planning this.

Which puts him in the
girls' inner circle.

Exactly. Or two, he waited in
the woods opportunistically.

But that strategy only works
if he plays the odds right.

So how far reaching is this ghost story?

Maybe I can answer that.

The story JJ grew up with,

it's gonna viral, and the
Photoshop work is on fleek.

Tall Man is a story. What
happened to these girls is real.

The first 24 hours are
crucial in an abduction case,

and we are not down to 18. Let's move.

Girl: What are you doing?

Nothing.

Don't say "nothing."
My necklace is missing.

You stole it again, didn't you?

How many times do I have
to say stay out of my room?

[Sighs]

Why do you even like this so much?

Because it's yours.

[Sighs]

Then I want you to have it.

Really?

Yeah.

Are you sure?

I'm sure.

Because no matter what happens,

I'll always love you, JJ.

Prentiss: JJ?

Wheels up.

Wheels up.

Good morning, Ally.

My name is Brenda, and I'm your
nurse for the next 12 hours.

The police have asked that I scrape

under your fingernails for evidence.

This won't hurt at all.

You'll barely even notice

[voice distorts]
that I'm doing anything.

Are you ok with that?

[Door creaks]

Girl: He's coming. Ally hide.

Second girl: Someone is coming!

No.

No! No, no, no.

Aah!

[Exhales]

Aah!

Aah!

Get away from me!

Get away from me!

JJ: "The most important
question anyone can ask is

what myth am I living?"

Carl Jung.

I'd like to direct your
attention to two oddities.

Oddity number one is Ally
MacReady's medical exam.

- Give us the headline.
-Despite outward appearances,

Ally had a sum total
of zero wounds on her.

So whose blood is on
your clothes, you ask?

DNA report is not back yet,

but typing and matching
points to the other girls.

She could have escaped
before the unsub got to her.

Holding 3 girls takes a lot of control.

What's oddity number two?

That would be a text exchange

between Bethany and Chelsea.

Bethany says to Chelsea,
"What if we do it in the woods tonight?"

To which Chelsea responds,
" We'd have to do it fast.

Ally can't see us coming."

Vaguely threatening.
Although Ally didn't say

anything like that in her interview.

Two of the girls had some
agenda besides the Tall Man.

We need to see if it played
a part in their disappearance.

Chelsea's dad, Tom,

he dated my sister in high school,

so I can talk to him.

Prentiss: Good. Do that.

We will divide and conquer when we land.

We will investigate this as if
Bethany and Chelsea are still alive,

and we will not sleep
until we find them.

[Indistinct P.A. announcements]

Are you with him?

The Tall Man?

No, Ally, we told you.
We're with the FBI.

We're trying to find
Bethany and Chelsea.

And you can help us by letting us know

what you remember about last night.

Start in the woods.
What do you remember?

Ally: Tall Man, Tall Man.

Chanting.

Tall Man, Tall Man,
long-haired Tall Man.

Never gonna catch me.

Chelsea: Hey, Ally.

- What?
- Wait up.

We, uh, we need to talk.

About what?

About you.

I don't... I don't feel so good.

What... what's happening?

[Growling]

Ally: And then he put us to sleep,

because he can do that.

And when we woke up,

we were in his domain.

No! No! No!

[Distorted voice] Where is it? Tell me.

Ally, run!

Aah!

[Gasps]

What did he mean, "Where is it?"

Where's Chelsea's
deepest, darkest secret.

That's what he always wants,

our secrets.

Did he ask you for your secrets?

No.

He just... he put me back to sleep.

And when I woke up, I was in the woods.

Are you sure you two aren't his minions?

We promise.

But how come you think we are?

Because you look like him.

You don't have faces.

Ally has schizophrenia?

Early onset. And we
confirmed it with her parents.

It's rare in teens, but it can happen.

The telltale symptom
was her face blindness.

Schizophrenics have extreme
visual processing problems,

most obviously in meeting new people

or experiencing new environments.

Alvez: Her parents were trying
to keep her off medication.

That's why the cops and
Garcia didn't flag it.

Besides the parents, who else knew?

Just Bethany and Chelsea. Why?

Lot of holes in her story.

Well, we noticed that, too.

She wasn't bound, but
the other two were.

She could have escaped,

instead she magically
woke up in the forest.

Covered in her friends' blood.

Most schizophrenics are not violent,

but they can be pushed to
violence if they're threatened.

Maybe she did this, but in her mind,

it was the Tall Man.

And that brings us back to Bethany

and Chelsea's texts about Ally,

and if their agenda was upsetting
enough to induce a break.

JJ's with Chelsea's dad now.

Maybe she can find out what
they needed to talk about.

My daughter and her
best friend are missing

and you're asking about their texts?

God, JJ, is that
really what's important?

[Sighs]

I'm sorry.

It's ok.

It's the worst day of my life.

And then Roslyn Jareau's

little sister shows
up to ask me about it.

I usually don't see
people on their best day.

That's why it's important
to look into every lead.

Ok?

So these texts between
Bethany and Chelsea

didn't sound too friendly.

Ally's getting worse...

Singing, talking to herself.

So last night they were going to try

to talk Ally into getting some help.

Why in the woods? I mean, there
are at least a hundred better places

to have that conversation.

I don't know.

I really don't.

What are you doing here?

What do you mean?

I mean, I remember your sister's funeral

like it was yesterday.

I could barely keep it together.

But you... you live in this world now.

I do.

I guess I do live in this world now.

But you know what?

I also get to make a difference in it.

Then tell me I won't
have to bury my daughter.

Bethany: Chelsea.

Yeah?

How bad are you?

Bad.

He's real.

I can't believe he's real,

and this is happening to us.

Stop it. Stop.

The Tall Man is not real.

This is just some
freak who gets his kicks

out of flicking us with a razor.

What does he want?

I don't know.

Oh, my God, he's coming.

He's coming back.

[Whimpers] No.

[Distorted voice] Where is it?

[Sobbing] Stop.

I don't know.

[Phone rings]

Go ahead, Garcia.

Garcia: The police recovered
all 3 girls' phones in the woods.

And you know how teens and myself

spend way too much time on our screens?

Well, the breakdown on the lab report

from the girls' cell phones
suggests a surefire way

to get us all to stop.

Please look at that
report on your tablets.

Fentanyl as in the opioid derivative?

Yeah, trace elements were
found on all 3 screens.

Now, the medical patch it comes
in knocks you out instantaneously.

Wait, hold up. Full stop.

Let's retrace the girls' timeline.

They went to a party,

then somehow the unsub manages

to get his hands on all 3 of
the girls' phones to lace them?

He could have been at the party.

But then he'd have to time that out

with when they went into the woods.

No one's that good.

Factor this in now.

You're a teenage girl.

You keep your cell phone
on you at all times.

Who would you maybe hand it over to?

Your best friend.

Uh-huh.

I'm starting to think Bethany or Chelsea

might be pulling the strings here.

Whoa, slow down.

All 3 girls' phones were drugged,

and Ally had the other
girls' blood on her.

I'm with Rossi. If one of
the girls was staging this,

she would have had to
have knocked herself out

and let herself get cut.

That's one hell of a gaslight.

But not an impossible one,
especially with a partner.

Well, if that's true, I think we're
missing the bigger picture here.

Chelsea and Bethany are best friends.

Why would one recruit a
partner to terrorize the other?

Ok, it has something to do with this.

"Where is it?" That's what Ally heard.

So they're looking for
something they lost,

something they think
the other girl can find.

I think we need to take another
look at their high school,

see what we can find.

I know a guy over there
that could help us.

Great.

Man: Jennifer Jareau.

Is that you?

Well, how are you, Mr. Howard?

I'm good. I'm good.

Listen, you graduated,
you can call me Ethan.

I heard you got promoted.

Can't believe you're not the
guidance counselor anymore.

Oh, I'm still the guidance counselor.

Yeah, I'm also the A.P. English teacher,

and some kids actually
think I'm principal.

So did you get my message?

I did. And I pulled all the kids

that Bethany and Chelsea
were linked in with.

Great.

This way.

There's not much I can tell you.

Bethany and Chelsea,
they loved each other.

They were more like
sisters than friends.

Well, sisters fight.

Did they get on each other's nerves?

They ever have any kind of disagreement?

I mean, this is like totally a rumor,

but Bethany had this secret boyfriend.

She wouldn't tell anyone who he was.

And Chelsea made fun of her for it,

about Bethany keeping it a secret.

And Bethany was like,
"Why can't you understand?"

Roslyn: You don't understand
that we're in love.

He loves me.

Man: Roslyn, you and
Tom are in high school.

You don't know what love is.

You don't get it.

Girl: Do you know that feeling?

Yeah. Yeah, I know that feeling.

Could you tell me more
about this boyfriend?

We might need to talk to him.

All I can tell you,
he gave Bethany a gift.

Jewelry, I think.

Chelsea got her hands on it somehow,

and she made it her mission to
find out who Bethany got it from.

And did she?

She tried.

She never got there.

Ok, so let's roll
with this for a second.

Bethany has a secret boyfriend.

He doesn't want to be exposed,

neither does she.

But then Chelsea gets
her hands on something

neither one wants her to have.

Right.

So the jewelry

has to be the key to all of it.

What motivates them to this extreme?

Prentiss: JJ?

You want to talk about it?

Look, ever since we took
this case, all of these...

[Exhales] Memories are coming back,

and they are not good memories.

You know?

About Roslyn?

Yeah.

Like that morning she
took my father's razor.

I found her.

And I just stood there...

frozen...

for probably 10 minutes.

[Sniffles]

It's like my brain
couldn't, um, comprehend

what I was seeing.

You know, sometimes I think...

I think that's why I took this job,

so I'd always know what to do,

so I would never freeze again.

[Sniffles]

So can you... can you give
me something to do, Emily?

Because I am starting
to freeze up again.

Ok. Um, all right, how about this?

Luke and Tara are going back Ally.

They are going to use
the EMDR technique on her.

It's supposed to be especially
effective with schizophrenics.

Lewis: This process
is called eye movement

desensitization and reconditioning.

And all you have to do is focus
on the movement of the metronome

and the sound of our voices.

[Metronome ticking]

Alvez: Ok, let's go back to the
last thing you remember in his lair.

I don't want to.

Nothing bad is going
to happen to you, Ally.

You're safe. Ok?

[Growls]

Aah!

Where is it?

Ally: He's here.

He's here. He's here.

Lewis: Ally, open your eyes
and focus on the metronome.

[Metronome ticking]

Lewis: Now help us find your friends.

Describe the room.

Ally: There's the door
that he came through.

It's like I'm in a tunnel or something.

There's windows along the walls,

but they're covered in this weird cloth.

Ally, what's on the ceiling?

[Breathing heavily]

Stars.

But they're pink.

I know where they are.

It's a train car. It's abandoned.

We used to have parties there
back when I was in high school.

Somebody put pink
stars up on the ceiling.

Ok, so it's right here
if it hasn't moved.

Prentiss: Ok, you'll lead SWAT.
Tell them to watch their front sight.

There are teenagers in there.

Bethany?

Bethany: Hmm? What?

I don't know if we're gonna
make it out of here alive.

If he kills me, I need
to tell you something.

I lied.

I do know what he wants.

What is it?

Promise you won't get mad at me, ok?

I promise.

You're my best friend,

and we're gonna get
through this together, ok?

Just tell me.

That's why I hid it, because I
just wanted to know who he was.

But he keeps on asking, "Where is it?"

And that's the only
thing I can think of.

That's the only thing.

[Rustling]

Huh.

What are you...

You set this up?

You're with him?

Of course I'm with him.

I love him.

[Gasps]

Chelsea?

Chelsea, hey. Can you hear me?

Medical.

Hypovolemic shock, massive
injury to the stomach.

JJ, this is a highwayman's hitch knot.

It self releases.

Bethany could have escaped
any time she wanted.

Is she awake?

Yeah.

It was Bethany, wasn't it?

Ok, who's the boyfriend?

Do you know where they're headed to?

Where are they going...

What?

This?

[Retches]

Get her into surgery.

JJ.

They had to induce a coma.

And we misjudged.

The boyfriend, we thought
he was a teenager, a peer,

- well, he's older, much older.
- How do you know?

Chelsea saw this around my neck.

The look in her eyes was recognition.

The jewelry the unsub gave Bethany.

Same one.

He gave this to Roslyn
who gave it to me.

God only knows how many other
girls there's been since then.

I have been wearing this around my neck,

his trophy, this whole time.

JJ, we will arrest him.

I know.

But when we do,

I'm gonna need you to
keep me away from him,

because if I get a chance,

I swear to God I will kill him.

This is mislabeled.
Unsub's older, predatory.

Yeah. Let's add it all up.

The unsub gives the girls
he grooms a necklace.

But Chelsea stole Bethany's
to figure out who he is.

And it's the smoking
gun of their affair,

dangerous enough to ruin
his life if discovered.

So he and Bethany come up
with a plan to get it back.

This guy's been at it for a while.

So who's in Bethany's life

who also overlaps with JJ's sister?

Well, there's on obvious suspect.

It's Tom Davis. He's Chelsea's dad,

and he was Roslyn's old boyfriend.

Matt, Luke, bring him in.

He has an alibi. I
want to stress test it.

You think I did this?

My daughter is fighting for
her life in the hospital.

The guy we're looking for has
been doing this for a while.

All the way back to Roslyn.

Jareau?

We dated in the nineties. I was 18.

Simmons: Ok, so how about this,

how about you tell us
again where you were...

You ok with this?

Tom: I was at home by myself.

You can check my cell
phone. It's got GPS on it.

All that means is that
your phone stayed home,

not that you did.

How he responds to my sister's
necklace will tell us everything.

[Door opens]

JJ, thank God. Can you please explain...

We pulled this off of Bethany.

What is it?

[Door opens]

It's not him.

We're holding him anyway.

Fine, but it's not him.

Bethany: It's me. I'm
on the burner phone.

I know where it is.

It's at the school.

Yeah, I'm here now.

I can get it, but...

You promise to take care of me?

You promise?

I, uh,

I had to stab Chelsea.

I think she... I think she's...

Yeah, ok. I'll see you soon.

[Cell phone beeps]

Emily send you in here?

No.

Well, I might have mentioned I was gonna

check up on you.

You know, of all the
profilers I've worked with,

you've grown the most,

from communications liaison
to mother to profiler.

It's been a privilege to watch.

Thank you.

Oh, I'm not done.

Because now you have
to do the hard work.

If this unsub was in Roslyn's life,

he was also in yours.

And you're gonna have to dig
into your memories to find him.

Will you come with me?

Every step of the way.

[Clang]

You're 11. That's a fun age.

Yeah.

What was going on?

My parents weren't doing well.

There was a lot of fighting.

Did that contribute
to Roslyn's depression?

It did.

But she'd always make time for me.

Rossi: Did she ever let
on that she was hurting?

JJ: Yeah. It got really bad
right before she was gone.

It's dinnertime, Mom says.

JJ, not now.

You have to come eat because
you haven't eaten in 3 days.

Get out!

Why are you like this?

Is it Tom?

No.

I broke up with Tom months ago.

Will you just go away, please?

No, that's not right.

Weeks earlier she and
my father were fighting.

Roslyn: You don't understand, Dad.

We're in love. He loves me.

Dad: Roslyn, you don't
know what love is.

You don't get it!

If she had already broken up with Tom,

who was she talking about?

The unsub.

He recognized a girl in pain,

parents divorcing, vulnerable,

so he took advantage of that.

She was already in such a bad place.

And now she's heartbroken.

She thought there was only one way out.

But there's that nagging
question, isn't there?

Why did you give this to me, Roz?

Go back to when she gave it to you.

Go there right now.

Roslyn: I want you to have it.

But you love this necklace.

Are you sure?

I'm sure.

Because no matter what happens,

I'll always love you, JJ.

And besides, this necklace
will help ward off the Tall Man.

That's a stupid, made-up story.

The story's made up, but
some monsters are real.

And if a real monster
ever sees you wearing this,

he'll know not to mess
with Jennifer Jareau...

'Cause she's a total bad ass.

You think I'm a bad ass?

I think you're the baddest of asses.

And that came out wrong.

[Laughs]

She was trying to protect me.

Yes, she was.

Now imagine you're the unsub.

Your victim has just killed herself,

and you see her younger sister

wearing your gift to her.

He'd see it as a beacon.

That's my next victim.

You say that as a profiler.

But what else do you know about
preferential sexual offenders?

They...

They have an age-specific type.

I'd be too young for him.

Roslyn didn't know that,
but she knew the unsub,

and she knew you.

She knew that deep down inside,

you were stronger than her,

and that the unsub would
never come after you

because it would be too risky.

You were too tough.

Now, was that the best plan? No.

But it was the best
that Roslyn could do.

And I think her plan worked.

I think he was terrified of
what she might have told you

and how you would have looked at him.

So who looked at you
like that growing up?

It would have been a brief interaction,

something probably in the immediate

aftermath of her death.

Oh, my God.

[Banging]

[Grunting]

[Lock rattling]

Aah!

[Grunting]

[Muffled screams]

[Breathing heavily]

This is just a horrible mistake, ok?

I didn't do anything wrong.

I mean, you can't just
bring me... does JJ...

Where are you going?

Hey, listen. Listen. I didn't do this.

I searched his car, his
house, and the school.

No sign of Bethany.

Dave, I think he'll
respond to your authority.

I want you to take
the first crack at him.

Actually, I'd like to.

Ok.

[Sighs] JJ.

What in the world is this? Seriously.

Ethan, I am so sorry.

This is ridiculous.

They seem to think I've hurt
those girls or something.

I know. It's just we have
a warrant for your house.

And they've already
pulled your computer.

Is that?

No, she's bluffing.

That's a hell of a bluff.

Guys like him keep souvenirs,

usually on computers.

Did you see what was on it?

I did.

[Sighs] Ok, look.

Um, what Roslyn and I had, it was...

It was different.

All right. I mean, we...

Really loved each other.

I know.

Roz gave this to me

because she wanted me to know
how special you were to her.

You know who else is special?

Bethany.

Look, you don't have
to tell me where she is,

but you got to give me something

so I can buy you a little more time.

She's where I keep all the
kids that are special to me.

I'll be right back.

[Door opens]

You meant it, right?

About Roz?

She loved me?

She's at the school.

This can't be it.

There's nowhere for her to hide in here.

Guys, over here.

What's under here?

That's an electrical breaker room.

The police, they cleared it already.

Well, we need to clear it again.

All right.

I got it.

Go ahead.

Guys.

Come on.

Bethany.

Ok, come on.

Bethany?

Bethany, can you hear me?

Here we go.

Come on. Come on, Bethany.

Uhh! Come on.

Come on.

[Grunts]

Bethany. Come on.

Come on! Uhh!

Come on.

Uhh!

Uhh!

Come on.

Oh. Were you able to buy me more time?

No.

No, I didn't.

You put my sister

in your trophy case

because she was just
another one of your trophies.

No. That's not... that's not true.

I didn't...

Gah!

Roslyn... [handcuffs click]

probably wasn't your first victim.

But Bethany...

She will be your last.

[Grunts]

Come with me.

Heh.

Oh, don't...

Don't move.

Let me take this in.

They wanted to wait up.

They have a present for you.

A present for me?

Mm-hmm.

We heard it through the
grapevine it was a tough case.

You like it?

I love it.

Good.

JJ: "There are times in our lives

when we have to realize

that our past is precisely what it is

and we cannot change it,

but we can change the story
we tell ourselves about it.

And by doing that,

we can change the future."
