Criminal Minds: Beyond Borders (TV Series)

Type A (2017)

Russell Wong: Inspector Jin Taan

Quotes 

• Inspector Jin Taan : The murders of Lynn Zhou and Yian Chen are a tragic stain on the fabric of Taipei.

  Jack Garrett : Inspector Jin, I'd like to apologize for the horror and dishonor caused by a suspect the FBI believes may be an infamous American killer.

• Inspector Jin Taan : I understand you had a friend back in New York who was also a victim.

  [distracted again, Clara doesn't reply] 

  Inspector Jin Taan : Agent Seger? You okay?

  Clara Seger : You know, I, um, I try to remain impartial during investigations so my personal feelings don't blur my judgment, but sometimes that is hard to do.

• Clara Seger : As in New York, all of the victims here are not only physically similar, but they're also professional women with careers and families. So was Yian Chen looking for love just like the other two?

  Inspector Jin Taan : Our society is a difficult place for divorced women with children to live in. You know, housing, jobs; these women are too often ostracized.

  Clara Seger : Listen, there is a big difference between being ostracized and getting killed. I mean, what made Yian so different? We get her computer, we're gonna get some answers.

• Clara Seger : Our unsub's gonna want a secluded spot away from prying eyes.

  Jack Garrett : He'll also want a quick path of egress from his table.

  Inspector Jin Taan : I understand, but I already have three of my plainclothes officers inside, and they have his driver's license.

  Jack Garrett : That's not a good idea.

• Mae Jarvis : Professional woman, slender build, dark hair. Just the unsub's type.

  Matt Simmons : Yeah. Looks like the unsub found the closest woman to his victim type and improvised from there. He cut her hair.

  Mae Jarvis : Yep. Looks like a blitz attack. He certainly didn't take the time to charm her.

  Matt Simmons : No. This kill was done out of necessity, but he did take the time to place the purple orchid in her lap. Is there any way we can trace its origin?

  Inspector Jin Taan : In Taiwan, breeding orchids is a mass production business.

  Mae Jarvis : Well, given the blood, I would say that the stab wound is definitely the C.O.D.

  Inspector Jin Taan : The key aspect for this unsub throughout his kill history has been the ritual displaying of the body, is it not?

  Matt Simmons : Yeah. His compulsion to kill comes secondary to his need to display his victims, but he didn't take the time to deliver the full message here by properly displaying it.

  Inspector Jin Taan : Yet he hastily chopped the victim's hair because he didn't want to vary from his physical type?

  Mae Jarvis : Maybe it's not a physical type. Maybe it's a specific woman. And the question is who?

• Jack Garrett : Thanks for all your assistance.

  Inspector Jin Taan : It is I who should thank you and your wonderful team, Jack.

  Mae Jarvis : Pleasure was all ours.

  Inspector Jin Taan : You know, I actually spent time at the FBI National Academy. It was the singular honor of my career. I can never repay the FBI for the prestige it's brought me.

  Matt Simmons : Well, it goes both ways. The FBI benefits immensely from working with officers of your caliber.

  Inspector Jin Taan : May I ask a favor?

  Jack Garrett : Of course.

  Inspector Jin Taan : Should you return to Taipei, would it be possible to bring one of those delightful chicken parmesean sandwiches from that little Italian deli by the back gate to Quantico?

  [the IRT team snickers] 

  Jack Garrett : You can count on it. Uh, I only hope it's under better circumstances than this trip.
