    TEASER

    FADE IN:

    EXT. BOAT DECK - AFTERNOON

    SUPER: BLUE HILL, MAINE

    HELEN is standing in front of her son. She puts an orange

    life vest on him, then she fastens the clasps. She is

    listening to MARK speaking. The weather is balmy, and the two

    are standing on the deck of a boat.

    MARK

    We are headed about 5 miles out,

    shouldnt take long at all.

    He is staring blankly ahead as he speaks to the two guests.

    HELEN

    Good, Im so ready to get in the

    water.

    Cameron looks up at his mother.

    CAMERON

    Me too Mom.

    HELEN

    How long have you been a fisherman,

    Mark?

    MARK

    My dad used to take me out on the

    weekends when I was young. Then one

    day he just stopped taking me.

    Ive been out here on my own ever

    since. Seems like the only thing I

    enjoy doing.

    Helen has a sad look on her face, one that shows empathy.

    HELEN

    Im so sorry about that. At least

    you are OK, you know?

    MARK

    Were here.

    He slows the boat down and brings the engine to a stop.

    CAMERON

    Yes, were here.

    Mark get up from his seat. He anchors the boat, then looks at

    Cam.

    MARK

    Whos up for a game of Marco Polo.

    Cameron smiles then looks as at his mother for confirmation.

    She smiles and shakes her head up and down symbolizing a

    yes. Cameron then directs his attention back to Mark.

    CAMERON

    I wanna play.

    MARK

    Get in! What are you waiting for?

    Cameron looks at his mother again.

    HELEN

    Lets go. Jump in!

    MARK (CONT'D)

    4/36

    Cameron gets on the edge of the boat then jumps in the water.

    Helen follows right after.

    EXT. ATLANTIC OCEAN - AFTERNOON

    HELEN

    A little chilly, but just what I

    needed.

    CAMERON

    It feels great. Lets play.

    Helen closes her eyes.

    HELEN

    Marco.

    Cameron swims away just enough for his mother to still hear

    his voice.

    CAMERON

    Polo!

    HELENMarco.

    CUT TO:

    EXT. BOAT DECK - AFTERNOON

    Mark is pacing around frantically. He stops, the looks down

    into the water to see the two guests playing Marco. He then

    turns on some MUSIC, just loud enough to drown out any loudsounds. He strips his clothing leaving on only some blue

    shorts. He turns the MUSIC up a little bit louder then he

    jumps in.

    EXT. ATLANTIC OCEAN - AFTERNOON

    Cameron has strayed away from his mother a little to far.

    CAMERON

    Polo!

    HELEN

    Marco!

    She listens for her sons voice. Then she yells louder.

    HELEN (CONTD)

    Marco!

    She opens her eyes and Mark is swimming towards her. He gets

    closer and does not stop. Helen gets a frantic look on her

    face and begins to SCREAM.

    HELEN (CONTD)

    CAMERONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN! H-

    Mark grabs her. Helen is kicking and punching and her son is

    nowhere in sight. They are both struggling to stay afloat,

    then Mark finally gets his hands around Helens neck. As he

    chokes her he looks deep into her eyes with an evil grin.

    Helen is panicking and trying to grab his hands and move them

    from around her neck. Water is splashing everywhere, and her

    hands are to slippery to grip anything. She looses strength

    then goes under the water.

    FADE OUT.

    ACT ONE

    INT. BEDROOM - MORNING

    DEREK wakes up. He showers, then puts on his clothes. Hegoes into the bathroom to look in the mirror and adjust his

    tie. He speaks to himself in the mirror.

    DEREK

    Looking pretty good today.

    He leaves the bathroom then walks into the living room.

    INT. LIVING ROOM - MORNING

    He takes his phone out of his pocket.

    INSERT - TELEPHONE SCREEN

    Derek scrolls down the call log to the name LACEY. He sends

    her a text message that reads Good Morning Beautiful. She

    replies immediately with Good Morning Handsome. He smiles

    and gives a sigh of relief. He then leaves for work.

    INT. BAU MEETING ROOM - MORNING

    Derek, EMILY, and SPENCER are all sitting around the glass

    table. They each have a folder and they are reviewing the

    information. DAVID is standing, along with PENELOPE beside

    PENELOPE

    (enthusiastically)Morning everyone.

    She looks around the room.

    PENELOPE (CONTD)

    So I guess we will get right into

    it. A woman by the name of Helen

    Holmes, and her son Cameron Holmes

    went missing yesterday. Tina Cane

    called the police and told them she

    was looking for her daughter. I did

    a little research and Mrs. Cane

    happens to be the subjects

    grandmother. She said the last

    thing she could remember her

    daughter saying was that she wanted

    to do something special for her

    Cameron. She hasnt heard from her

    since. Its been about three days

    and that is unusual, she is

    worried.

    SPENCER

    There were no leads on where they

    went?

    PENELOPE

    No leads yet, but Mrs. Cane did say

    she had a conversation with her

    about fishing when she spoke with

    her weeks before.

    DAVID

    All we have so far is two missing

    individuals, a mother and son, and

    a possible fishing trip.

    8/36

    Lets try and connect some

    dots...We have already passed the

    72 hour mark which means we need to

    think smart and fast. We can wrap

    this up, I think we know everythingwe need to know so far.

    FADE OUT.

    FADE IN:

    INT. PRIVATE JET - MORNING

    David, Derek, and Spencer are all seated next to each other.

    JJ and PRENTISS are also beside one another.

    DEREK

    So Spence, how are you feeling

    today, man?

    Spencer turns to Derek and has on a serious face.

    SPENCER

    I need a girlfriend.

    DEREK

    I understand. Its funny you

    mentioned that...Ive been talking

    to this woman and she

    is...uhh..pretty cool.

    SPENCER

    You know... a woman might be theanswer to all your problems.

    DAVID (CONT'D)

    9/36

    DEREK

    (chuckles in a low tone)

    You might be right

    Spence.

    David turns on the laptop screen. Everyone directs their

    attention to the screen.

    DAVID

    Penelope, what do you have for me?

    INSERT - LAPTOP MONITOR

    Penelope is on screen from her office.

    PENELOPE

    The Holmes were found on shore in

    a secluded town called Blue, Hill.

    Its in Maine and they were spotted

    there early this morning. But check

    this, I did a little snooping on

    Helens computer, and I saw Divers

    Dream Fishing Experience in herbrowser.

    SPENCER

    Divers Dream? It sounds symbolic

    for something. Maybe the unsub has

    some experience with diving?

    The jet is preparing for landing.

    CUT TO:

    EXT. ATLANTIC COAST - AFTERNOON

    Two bodies lay in the middle of the sand. They are soaking

    wet and their faces are stuck with an expression of distress.

    8

  • 8/13/2019 Criminal Minds Tv Spec Script

    10/36

    On Helens neck there are bruises that resemble finger

    markings, and her skin is a bluish pale color. The child lay

    right beside his mother, his body is limp and cold. There

    appears to be something in his pocket. Spencer reaches into

    the pocket and finds a piece of bait.

    SPENCER

    The bruises on her neck indicate

    some asphyxiation. She definitely

    didnt drown on her own. The unsub

    has to be a male because you cant

    get bruises like these without

    applying intense pressure.

    DEREK

    What would he want with these two

    victims? We are definitely not

    dealing with a serial killer.

    Theres no correlation.

    SPENCER

    (beat)

    We have to figure out hismotive...and how did the bodies

    even get here? It is possible that

    they washed up onto shore.

    JJ walks up beside Spencer. JJ, Spencer, and Derek are all in

    frame.

    JJ

    We didnt find much on the

    perimeter, its like they just

    washed up here.

    9

  • 8/13/2019 Criminal Minds Tv Spec Script

    11/36

    SPENCER

    That is possible, but this was no

    accident...I remember Penelope

    saying something about Divers

    Dream, it probably has somethingto do with a boat. The only way

    they couldve drowned here is if

    they were out at sea.

    DEREK

    The murder may have happened first,

    then the unsub wanted to dumbthe

    body.

    David comes over.

    DAVID

    Lets go.

    (beat)

    Im sure you all could use a good

    nights rest. Lets head back to

    the jet, then we will regroup

    tomorrow morning.

    FADE OUT.

    INT. BEDROOM - NIGHT

    Derek is at home. He gets undressed, and takes a shower. Once

    he lays in his bed his phone VIBRATES. He answers the phone.

    PHONE CONVERSATION

    DEREK

    Just the person I wanted to hear

    from. How are you doing, sweetie?

    12/36

    LACEY (V.O.)

    Im fine. Kind of tired though. I

    took my third graders to the zoo

    today and they absolutely loved it.

    Those kids have endless amounts ofenergy, they just cant stop

    moving. I enjoyed myself though.

    DEREK

    I admire how passionate you are

    about what you do. Everyone doesnt

    have that luxury. You are blessed

    (beat)

    And beautiful.

    LACEY (V.O.)

    (LAUGHS) Thank you so much , you

    know just the right things to say.

    DEREK

    Let me take you out tomorrow night

    and you know... show you a good

    time.(beat)

    It wont do any harm, plus itll be

    fun I promise.

    LACEY (V.O.)

    Tomorrow night sounds good, but

    thats only if you keep your word.

    I dont want to be disappointed.

    DEREK

    Trust me, you wont be. How does

    eight sound?

    LACEY (V.O.)

    Eight sounds perfect.

    END OF ACT ONE

    ACT TWO

    INT. COASTAL BAR - DAY

    Mark appears clean cut and approachable. He is wearing some

    jeans and a plain shirt. He walks into the bar and the

    waitress greets him.

    WAITRESS

    Hello sir, Welcome to coastal bar.

    You will be seated shortly.

    The waitress goes and wipes of the table designated for Mark.

    She comes back to him, and leads the way to the table.

    WAITRESS (CONTD)

    Right this way.

    When they both arrive at the table Mark sits down, then the

    waitress hands him a menu. He takes the menu.

    MARK

    Im ready to order.

    WAITRESS

    OK, what an I get for you todaysir?

    MARK

    I would just like a Diet Coke, and

    a Wing Platter with fries please.

    12

  • 8/13/2019 Criminal Minds Tv Spec Script

    14/36

    WAITRESS

    Is that all for you today?

    MARK

    For now.

    WAITRESS

    Perfect, your order will be out

    shortly.

    Once the waitress leaves to put the order in, Mark notices a

    a woman entering the bar. She is very attractive with

    beautiful features. Mark watches her as she gets seated at

    the table. Once she is seated, he waits until she puts her

    order in, then walks over to her. He sits across from her at

    her table.

    MARK

    I know this is kind of random, but

    I couldnt help but admire your

    beauty from my table over there.

    The girl looks at him and smiles.

    ROSE

    Thank you... Im Rose, whats your

    name?

    She puts her hand out for a handshake.

    MARK

    Im Mark.

    While the two are talking at the table, the waitress notices

    Mark at the other table so she politely brings them both

    their food.

    13

  • 8/13/2019 Criminal Minds Tv Spec Script

    15/36

    WAITRESS

    Here is your Wing Platter and here

    is your Chopped Chicken Salad.

    MARK & ROSE

    Thank you!

    MARK

    Tell me a little bit about

    yourself. How does a beautiful girl

    like you just end up in Blue Hill.

    Im sure youre not from here. Ive

    never seen you before, plus you

    know this town is pretty small.

    ROSE

    Im just here visiting some family.

    Its pretty boring here though, not

    much to do.

    MARK

    Yeah, it takes some getting used

    to.

    (beat)

    Hey.. You know if youre interested

    I have a boat, and I could take you

    out and teach you a thing or two

    about fishing.

    ROSE

    I dont know Ive never really done

    that before. Im kind of scared

    actually, Im not to fond of fish.

    MARK

    Its not as bad as you think, its

    actually really fun...

    14

    (MORE)

  • 8/13/2019 Criminal Minds Tv Spec Script

    16/36

    plus you did say how bored you have

    been since you been out here.

    ROSE

    Yeah, I guess youre right. Well

    Im not doing anything today, I

    mean I was just going to eat here

    then go back home.

    MARK

    How about we eat here, then you

    just come with me and Ill show you

    a good time. The tab is on me.

    ROSE

    That sounds like a plan.

    The waitress comes and puts the tab on the table while Mark

    and Rose finish up eating.

    DISSOLVE TO:

    EXT. PARK - DAYTIME

    A body lays in the grass. Caution tape surrounds the

    perimeter of the park. The woman appears to be blue and pale.

    The womans stomach is protruding and her toes are curled.

    There are marks on her neck. Spencer, David, and Derek are on

    the crime scene examining the body.

    SPENCER

    This victim has also suffered from

    asphyxiation of some sort. The

    curled toes indicate struggle, and

    the victim is soaking wet.

    15

    MARK (CONT'D)

    (MORE)

  • 8/13/2019 Criminal Minds Tv Spec Script

    17/36

    This murder resembles the murder of

    the mother son, which means were

    dealing with serial killer. The

    unsub must be drowning them.

    DEREK

    Would that be before or after he

    strangles them to death?

    DAVID

    Maybe he does it all at the same

    time. He gets the victims in the

    water then strangles them, then

    they drown.

    SPENCER

    Thats logical, but what triggers

    this behavior?

    DEREK

    Possibly a bad childhood.

    DAVID

    ...Loss in the family

    SPENCER

    ...A Mental Disorder

    Spencer takes a deep breath then thinks for a second.

    SPENCER (CONTD)

    All three victims have been

    asphyxiated, then drowned to death.

    The location of the strangulation

    on all victims is the same, which

    indicates that the unsub suffers

    from Obsessive Compulsive Disorder.

    16

    SPENCER (CONT'D)

    (MORE)

  • 8/13/2019 Criminal Minds Tv Spec Script

    18/36

    This disorder usually stems from a

    childhood experience, normally one

    that is undesirable. This means the

    unsubs problem may very well be

    something he is experiencingpsychologically.

    DAVID

    Alright, well I think we can wrap

    this up. Weve figured out all we

    need to know.

    CUT TO:

    INT. OFFICE - AFTERNOON

    The entire Behavioral Analysis Unit is in the meeting office.

    The topic of discussion is the criminal file. Everyone is

    seated around the glass table, with their folders open.

    PENELOPE

    I did a little research to find out

    who our unsub is. His name is MarkPhillips. Mr. Phillips was placed

    into a mental facility as a child,

    after being tortured in ritual

    baptisms by his parents.

    SPENCER

    That may explain his obsession with

    water... why he drowns the victims.

    PENELOPE

    After being released he became a

    lifeguard at a local recreation

    center.

    17

    SPENCER (CONTD)

    (MORE)

  • 8/13/2019 Criminal Minds Tv Spec Script

    19/36

    He is the owner of Divers Dream (a

    private company that does fishing

    trips for individuals and couples).

    He lives in Blue Hill, Maine and he

    only has a P.O Box, no address.

    DEREK

    We know he doesnt live with his

    parents...

    SPENCER

    Maybe he lives on his boat.

    PRENTISS

    If he lives on his boat, that means

    he has to park it somewhere. We

    have to figure out where he parks

    it, then we can catch him there.

    PENELOPE

    I looked for docks in the area but

    there are none. He either travels

    to a dock in another location, or

    docks illegally.

    JJ

    We have to stop him before he kills

    another victim, but how is he

    choosing his victims?

    PENELOPE

    He isnt. The victims choose

    themselves.

    DAVID

    What do you mean?

    18

    PENELOPE (CONT'D)

  • 8/13/2019 Criminal Minds Tv Spec Script

    20/36

    PENELOPE

    In order to do a private fishing

    trip, you must sign up on the

    website online. Once the person

    books their trip and pays, healready knows who his victims are.

    JJ

    He lours them in from a web page...

    what is the world coming to?

    SPENCER

    Thats pretty clever actually. He

    made choosing his victims easy and

    effortless, which saves him the

    time and trouble of capturing his

    victims, and saves him the risk of

    being witnessed.

    DAVID

    So the question is who is the next

    victim? The answer to that question

    will lead us to finding this guy.(beat)

    He looks in Penelopes direction.

    DAVID (CONTD)

    Penelope keep watch on that

    website. The first person you see

    signing up for the trip, get their

    information and we will go from

    there.

    (beat)

    Everyone is dismissed.

    Derek is getting ready for his date. He is casually dressed,wearing black slacks, a white button up, and black dress

    shoes. He sends Lacey a text that reads Im on my way.

    CUT TO:

    SUPER: LA VIDA BELLA ITALIAN RESTAURANT

    INT. LA VIDA BELLA ITALIAN RESTAURANT - NIGHT

    The camera pans and reveals a beautiful African American

    woman wearing a red dress and red lipstick. Then both Lacey

    and Derek are in view. They are sitting at a table made just

    for a couple. It is small, and fancy with white silk

    tablecloth. The server comes to the table.

    SERVER

    Hello, my name is John. I will be

    your server for today. Here are

    your menus.

    The server hands them the menus. He looks at Lacey.

    relax.. catch up on a couple of

    things, and workout. What about

    The server comes back to the table.

    DEREK

    Yes, Ill have the Veal Marsala.

    The lady would like the Chicken

    Caprese.

    daughter from my ex husband. Her

    name is Ally. I went to USC and got

    my bachelors in English. Ive

    been teaching the 3rd grade for

    about 7 years now.

    myself... Im kind of an adrenaline

    junky.

    Lacey is half way through her glass of wine. Her plate is

    also half eaten. She takes another sip of wine.

    Mountain Climbing? Bungee Jumping?

    Derek is looking at Lacey. His plate is near finished and he

    is done with his glass of wine.

    DEREK

    I did go Sky Diving once with some

    of my friends. I have done some

    Hiking, but no Mountain Climbing

    yet. I dont know about BungeeJumping though.

    LACEY

    Pretty cool... Red wine isnt bad

    at all you know.

    Laceys phone VIBRATES. She looks down at her phone then at

    Derek.

    LACEY (CONTD)

    Im sorry I have to take this.

    DEREK

    Its fine.

    Lacey gets up from the table and walks to the bathroom. Derek

    wraps up the tab with the server while Lacey is in the

    bathroom. She arrives back at the table.

    LACEY

    I have to get back to the house. My

    daughter is not feeling well.

    DEREK

    I hope she feels better. Well I got

    your food to go. We can leave as

    We should definitely do this again,

    DISSOLVE TO:

    INT. BOAT - NOON

    A couple are on the boat. Mark is driving and he is staring

    blankly into the sea straight ahead. Kyle and Ashley are

    sitting on deck.

    MARK

    I will be taking you guys about 5

    miles out. We should find the

    perfect catch there.

    ASHLEY

    What kinds of fish do you normally

    catch out here anyway?

    MARK

    In some areas you can find lobster,

    but thats only during lobster

    season. I caught some Salmon, Cod,

    and trout since Ive been out here.

    The best thing Ive ever reeled in

    was a human.

    Kyle and Ashley look at each other. Their faces show that

    they are both shocked about what Mark said.

    rest of the workstations are located.

    DAVID (CONTD)

    MARK

    Just give mea second while I go get

    this equipment. Dont get to

    excited while Im gone.

    ASHLEY

    Thanks so much baby for bringing me

    out here. The view is beautiful.

    She looks at her husband and smiles.

    KYLE

    You and I both needed this honey.

    Im glad you are enjoying it so far

    though... dont worry about this

    prick though, clearly he has some

    issues.

    Mark is standing behind the couple. They are looking out into

    the ocean. Mark is holding the equipment in his hand.

    MARK

    So you think I have issues?

    KYLE

    Yeah, thats what I said. If you

    werent acting so loony earlier

    maybe I wouldnt have to say that.

    MARK

    (STERN, LOUD, and

    AGGRESSIVELY)

    Dont you talk to me in thatmanner. You dont know shit. Ill

    show you loony.

    Mark drops the equipment. He rushes towards Kyle then pushes

    off the side of the boat into the ocean.

    EXT. HOUSE - AFTERNOON

    The BA Unit arrives to the disclosed address. The house

    appears to be vacant.

    SPENCER

    Are you sure this is the right

    address?

    DAVID

    Yes, Im sure.

    JJ

    He just uses different addresses

    and tells the victims to meet him

    at these locations... But where is

    the car? The victims had to get

    here somehow.

    SPENCER

    He must have taken them out to sea.

    Penelope said the unsub owned a

    company that allows couples to go

    on a private fishing trip. That

    means he is going to take them out

    there to drown them.

    DAVID

    Ill call headquarters and let them

    know the situation.

    and some eyes in the sky.

    SPENCER

    We are not to far from the ocean.

    The breeze is pretty strong over

    here, so there must be a body of

    water around here somewhere.

    DEREK

    Get the GPS, and lets start

    moving. We are running out of time.

    FADE OUT.

    END OF ACT THREE

    INT. BOAT DECK - AFTERNOON

    Mark is still standing on the boat with Ashley. He isfurious, and he is on a rampage. Ashley is looking at him

    while crying as she hears her husband yelling from the water

    below. Kyle is trying to climb up the side of the boat but he

    is not successful.

    KYLE

    (YELLING)

    Somebody help us please!

    MARK

    Nobody can hear you out here

    sweetie. It just us now. Me and you

    are going to get to know each other

    a little better.

    Mark grabs Ashley by the neck. He has his hand around the

    back of her neck and he is holding with extreme force and

    pressure. Ashley is kicking and trying to get out of Marks

    grasp. Kyle is still in the water, once he sees his wife

    dangling over the side of the boat he is enraged and

    panicking.

    KYLE

    (YELLING)

    If you kill my wife, theres hell

    to pay. Im crazy to mother fucker

    just try me.

    MARK

    Your so called husband seems a

    little frightened. Lets get him

    rowled up some more.

    Mark pushes Ashley even more over the side of the boat. Her

    feet are no longer touching the deck and she is kicking and

    scratching to try to protect herself.

    ASHLEY

    Let me go you ass hole. What type

    of twisted lunatic are you?

    Mark is on the verge of pushing Ashley off the boat. He lets

    go and turns around when he hears a voice in a bullhorn.

    EXT. ATLANTIC OCEAN - AFTERNOON

    The BA Unit is on a large sized speed boat. It is pulled

    beside the Divers Dream boat, along with a life raft. The

    authorities get Kyle into the raft and onto the boat. Derek

    is speaking into the bullhorn.

    DEREK

    Mark. Let go of the girl now. You

    are under arrest.

    MARK

    Im not letting her go. She has to

    suffer. No one knows my pain... so

    I make them feel it. I sacrifice

    them in the presence of the lord.

    Authorities get onto the Dream Boat and grab Mark. Two men

    force him to the floor. Ashley is rescued and put onto the

    boat with the team. She is crying hysterically, and Kyle has

    a mad expression on his face.

    KYLE

    I cant believe this shit. This

    idiot tried to kill my wife man..

    my wife!

    (KYLE BREAKS DOWN)

    JJ walks over to Kyle. She sits down next to him.

    JJ

    (REASSURINGLY)

    I know you are angry right now, Ijust want you to know that we are

    here to help you... Do you think

    you could just tell us what

    happened?

    Derek, Spencer, and David are all sitting on the opposite

    side of the of the boat. They have Mark in custody. Ashley

    is sitting beside Prentiss, who is questioning her.

    PRENTISS

    I dont want yo to worry honey.

    This man will be going away for a

    long time. I just want you to tell

    me what happened as best you can.

    She looks at Ashley in her eyes to show that she cares.

    ASHLEY

    (SNIFFLING)

    Everything started out perfect...

    then the guy started acting kind of

    weird. We asked him about fish, and

    he told us he enjoyed reeling in

    humans... At that point my husband

    and I were uneasy but we didnt

    know what to do. We were already

    way out at sea..

    PRENTISS

    What else happened?

    ASHLEY

    Then we stopped... He just got mad

    out of nowhere because my husband

    called him crazy or something.

    Then he just went on a rampage...

    next thing you know my husband is

    swimming around in the damn ocean.
