Quotes 

• Derek Morgan : [voiceover]  Kingman Brewster Jr said: 'There is no lasting hope in violence, only temporary relief from hopelessness.'

• Derek Morgan : [discussing a home invasion]  If this is related to vandalism, four dead is a hell of an escalation.

  Emily Prentiss : So there's the potential for a lot more bodies out there?

  Aaron Hotchner : That's what I'm afraid of.

• Derek Morgan : [voiceover]  William Shakespeare wrote 'These violent delights have violent ends.'

• Dr. Spencer Reid : Each of these crime scene locations are a representation of new wealth and status, but the areas surrounding the crime scenes are still populated by long-time residents who are slowly being pushed out.

  Derek Morgan : That's a lot of disenfranchised people who are all part of the neighborhood makeup. Most likely these unsubs don't stand out because they're probably local themselves.

  Emily Prentiss : I don't know. I'm with Rossi. I mean, anger I get, but this much violence? We're looking at at least three men with an incredible amount of rage. Where do you hide that?

• Derek Morgan : You know what gets me? See, we figured you were down and out, pissed off. But you're out here working. What is so God-awful about your life that you've gotta take it out on the rest of the world?

  J.R. Baker : It was fun, boss.

• Derek Morgan : [First call after their argument]  Hey girl

  Penelope Garcia : [down]  Hey. We're good?

  Derek Morgan : Yeah, we're good

  Penelope Garcia : [smiling again]  What do you need?

• David Rossi : [walking the crime scene]  Victim one gets dropped here.

  Derek Morgan : While number two comes around the corner to see what's happening, and... the unsub attacks him here.

  Emily Prentiss : [indicating the dinner table]  The female victims were probably here when the first attack occurred.

  Derek Morgan : Which means somebody would have to control them pretty quickly.

  Emily Prentiss : How many unsubs are you thinking?

  David Rossi : At least one to move the body inside, another one to take out man number two, and one more to subdue the others.

  Emily Prentiss : Well, vandalism breeds a pack mentality.

  Derek Morgan : If it is the same unsubs, then yeah, we're looking at a group of three, maybe four.

  David Rossi : These aren't kids. They're too efficient. There's control and precision. Juveniles are sloppy.

  Emily Prentiss : He's right. There is nothing tentative about these kills. There's no experimentation. These guys know what they're doing.

  Derek Morgan : I don't know...

  David Rossi : What are you thinking?

  Derek Morgan : I can understand vandalism escalating into violence, but that's usually gradual. An assault, a single murder maybe, but come on, this? This feel fully evolved.
