Criminal Minds: Beyond Borders

Jack: Over 68 million Americans

leave the safety of our borders every year.

If danger strikes,

the FBI's international response team

is called into action.

I can't believe we're doing this!

Hell, yeah, we are! This is crazy!

Dude, you'll be fine. Just keep running.

Remember, you fall, don't try and get up.

Curl into a fetal position, protect your head.

You do not want to be eye level with those horns.

They're singing for protection,

asking the saints to keep us safe.

How cool is that? All right, all right.

It's 2 minutes till 8:00. Lew here.

With Clint and Kev,

getting set to test ourselves

against the mighty Toros bravos of Pamplona!

That we just found out run at 35 miles per hour.

Kev thinks we should have gone to Vegas.

But Clint here wanted to celebrate his 40th

by cheating death itself.

Come on, you love it! Mwah!

This is it! The bulls are loose!

If we get split up, let's regroup behind that cafe

we had breakfast at, okay? Behind the cafe!

Hell, yeah!

Whoo! What a rush!

Ugh!

Clara: Ronaldo is the best player in the world right now.

I don't know. Messi's a genius,

and he's adorable.

Athletes should not be described as adorable.

Oh, well, I don't remember you being bothered

when somebody called you something similar

in the "men of the FBI" calendar.

That was for charity.

W-wait a minute, when was this?

That was last year. Jack was Mr. July.

No. One word... fireworks.

No.

Duty calls.

Let's get everyone up to speed, Monty.

Kaixo. Okay, two days ago,

Clint Smith, a lawyer from Seattle,

went missing in Pamplona.

He had traveled to Spain to take part

in the running of the bulls and disappeared

shortly after his first bull run.

His friends, Americans Lew Donovan

and Kevin Garcia reported him missing

when he failed to return after the race that morning.

Then yesterday, Clint Smith's ears,

and only his ears, were found severed

in Vasconia Plaza inside the old city.

Why ears? Could be symbolic.

Maybe our unsub wants to be heard.

Or maybe it's a scare tactic.

Terrorist groups have been known to cut off ears, noses,

and lips just to make a statement,

you know, incite fear. What about the rest of his body?

It hasn't been found.

Monty ran the M.O. Through Interpol and got a hit.

Okay, this time last year,

the ears of three Australian citizens

were found scattered across Pamplona.

All three had traveled to Spain

to take part in the running of the bulls.

Six months later, their partial remains

were found scattered outside of the city limits.

U.S. embassy wants us on the ground immediately.

Is there any connection between the Australian victims?

None that local P.D. Can tell.

They were taken every couple of days

in different locations and times,

and their ears were left at three distinct landmarks.

Didn't don Quixote have his ear cut off by a basque traveler?

He was wounded after his battle

with the famous windmills of la Mancha.

I saw the movie.

This says the ears were left at famous basque landmarks.

Pamplona is part of the kingdom of Navarre,

land of the basques.

Given the history, maybe our unsub

so, we need to determine whether these attacks are part

of a larger political agenda,

or the work of a disturbed individual.

Well, either way, if the pattern holds,

the unsub will strike again, soon.

And with more Americans in Pamplona than ever before,

it's our job to stop him before he does.

Don't!

Mae: "Too much sanity may be madness,

and the maddest of all, to see life as it is

and not as it should be"... Miguel De Cervantes.

There's something like a million people

that descend on Pamplona during this week.

They run the bulls every day.

They have parades and bullfighting, fireworks.

Hemingway described it as a "furious energy."

An expression of the ephemeral.

Life and the death and the fleeting moments in between.

Benjamin esposito. You must be agent Garrett.

That's right. Welcome to Pamplona.

Thank you. This is my team.

Agent Seger. Agent Simmons.

And Jarvis. Hi.

Thanks for your cooperation.

I was the lead detective on the case last year,

and I have been dreading this day ever since.

I knew a criminal this twisted would strike again.

They usually do, but if we can build a profile

in conjunction with the physical evidence,

we have a good shot at catching him.

As you can imagine, an event like this is a huge boost

to the local economy.

Because of this, my superiors

have asked to keep low profiles

so as not to cause any alarm.

Por favor.

So, what can you tell us about

your initial investigation?

Well, the three sets of ears belonging

to the Australian citizens

didn't leave us much to go on.

Witnesses proved unreliable.

The case went cold.

This way.

And you found remains for each of the Australians?

Yes. The bodies were dismembered

and found washed up in a ditch off the highway.

The ears of both the first Australian victim

and American Clint Smith were dumped here

in the same spot in this courtyard, yeah?

Here, Vasconia Plaza.

That's home to an important basque memorial.

Yes, basque nationalists

have a history of trying to co-op the fiesta.

We have seen large-scale demonstrations, intimidation,

and on some occasions, violence.

Much like the U.K. And the Irish republican army,

you've been dealing with these issues for decades.

Last year, there were whispers

that these attacks were part of a larger basque agenda,

but no one is taking credit.

Simmons, let's take advantage of the extensive media coverage

and review the festival footage.

We need to find Clint's last known location.

I'll talk to Clint's friends, Lew and Kevin.

Great. Mae, take a look at the forensic evidence.

The ears. Got it.

Detective, we need to surveil the two previous disposal sites.

It's likely the attacker or attackers will revisit.

We've got officers monitoring the grounds.

I'd like to view the memorial

where Clint Smith's ears were found.

I can take you there.

¿mijo?

The ears were found right here.

Were your men able to dust for prints?

Well, the festival brings a lot of additional foot traffic,

so we've had trouble pulling anything conclusive.

The day the ears were found,

there was a lot of people everywhere.

The crowds were buying a sense of anonymity

that would allow the unsub to move around freely.

There was a riot in '78 that took place in this Plaza.

A basque man was struck by the authorities,

violence erupted.

They had to cancel the fiesta that year.

This memorial is a call for peace.

So, our killer knows his history.

Maybe he feels his statements are falling on deaf ears.

If this is about politics, why attack Turistas?

Maybe he blames them. For what?

Distracting from the true meaning of San Fermã­n.

At its heart, the festival

is a religious celebration, correct?

Yes. It is a way for us to honor and give thanks

to the patron son of Pamplona, San Fermã­n.

Who found the ears?

Father Consolmango. Two days ago.

I am father Consolmango.

Father.

Detective esposito said that you're the one

who found the remains.

A strange thing, this removal of the ears.

You have a pretty good view of the memorial.

What can you recall about the moments leading up

to your discovery?

It was morning.

I went outside and spotted them in the...

In the Plaza.

Have you seen anything or anyone suspicious

in the last few days?

I have heard of many bad deeds

done in these eight days.

But I have not witnessed anything myself.

Detective esposito and I are trying to stop a killer

and save the life of an innocent man.
