Emily Prentiss : So Hotch is even more intense now that Gideon's gone.
Dr. Spencer Reid : Yeah, I've noticed.
Emily Prentiss : Do you think that's gonna change?
Dr. Spencer Reid : I certainly think we'll find out.
Emily Prentiss : What about you? You okay?
Dr. Spencer Reid : Oh, I'm- I'm great.
Emily Prentiss : Do you want to talk about it?
Dr. Spencer Reid : What's there to talk about, really?
Emily Prentiss : Gideon.
Dr. Spencer Reid : Oh, no. He, uh- he left a letter explaining everything. Just like my dad did when he abandoned me and my mom.
Emily Prentiss : He addressed it to you.
Dr. Spencer Reid : Yeah, yeah. You know, Gideon stood toe to toe with some of the... the sickest people on this planet. I think that took a lot of courage, right?
Emily Prentiss : Yeah.
Dr. Spencer Reid : So, why'd he do this? It's addressed to me, but I'm- I'm not- I'm not the only one that he abandoned.
Emily Prentiss : But why is it addressed to you? I think you need to read that letter again.
Dr. Spencer Reid : I have an eidetic memory, Emily.
Emily Prentiss : Ah, yeah, I know, and an IQ of 187, but what do you remember about your father?
Dr. Spencer Reid : What do you mean?
Emily Prentiss : Well, he gave you ten years before he left, and yet you've erased all those memories. And it's too painful, I get it. But then Gideon leaves. I think you need to read that letter again, and ask yourself why, of all the people he walked away from, did he only explain himself to one person: you.

[Reid, Morgan, and Hotchner arrive at a victim's apartment building]
Dr. Spencer Reid : Wittman's place is on the 4th floor.
[the elevator opens, then Morgan and Reid get into the relatively small car]
Dr. Spencer Reid : Can you get in there?
Aaron Hotchner : [Looks into the small elevator car] I'll... meet you guys up there.
[He walks to the right and starts climbing upstairs]
Dr. Spencer Reid : [the elevator climbs slowly, then suddenly stops. Morgan jumps up a little to try and get it to move again] . Don't do that.
Derek Morgan : [continuing to jump] Why isn't it moving?
Dr. Spencer Reid : I don't know.
[Morgan starts pressing control buttons randomly]
Dr. Spencer Reid : . Don't... stop it... don't...
Derek Morgan : What? What's the problem?
[presses buttons more]
Dr. Spencer Reid : Don't do that!
Derek Morgan : Why not?
Dr. Spencer Reid : Because there are 6 elevator-related deaths per year, not to mention 10,000 injuries that require hospitalization. Chill out.
Derek Morgan : That sounds like pretty good odds to me. Are you scared, Reid?
Dr. Spencer Reid : I'm not scared. I don't want to be in an elevator with you, to be honest.
Derek Morgan : [teasing Reid by pushing buttons again] How about I push that? What if I push... .
[elevator lurches and falls a bit]
Derek Morgan : Whoa. Whoa. OK.
Dr. Spencer Reid : Um.. hit the... hit the... yeah.
[Morgan hits the red alarm button, sounding a bell]
Dr. Spencer Reid : [Hotch arrives on 4th floor, casually looks in the direction of the elevator, then walks away]
Dr. Spencer Reid : Push it! It might've...
Derek Morgan : Push, pull, push, pull, I'm doing it! Nothing's happening!
Dr. Spencer Reid : [panicked] Pry... pry... pry the door open! Just...
Derek Morgan : [Morgan tries to open the door by hand] It's stuck, man.
[elevator creaks, and falls a little more]
Derek Morgan : No, no, no, no. Not today. No, not today.
Dr. Spencer Reid : [high pitched] . Hotch?
Derek Morgan : [yelling] Hotch!
Derek Morgan : [Hotch walks casually back to the elevator, just as Morgan manages to open the door and falls out] . Hallelujah.
Aaron Hotchner : Was that the alarm? You guys OK?
Dr. Spencer Reid : [slowly emerging from the elevator] . I'll get back to you on that.
