- Derek Morgan: Talk to me, mama.
- Penelope Garcia: First off, you are on restriction from my inner Lamborghini.
- Derek Morgan: Garcia...
- Penelope Garcia: I mean it. This high-performance engine may purr like a puma on the prowl, but this time, Derek, you have seriously overheated my engines, and I will require some cool-down laps upon your return, if you know what I mean by that.
- Derek Morgan: Baby girl, you're on speaker.
- Penelope Garcia: I knew that.
- Emily Prentiss: Morgan and I were joking around on the jet, but something is definitely up. Is there anything you want to share?
- David Rossi: It's nothing. Uh... I had breakfast with Carolyn the other morning.
- Emily Prentiss: Carolyn? Oh! Is that wife number four or five?
- David Rossi: Look, let's get our facts straight. I only had three wives. I mean, that's in the realm of reasonable.
- Emily Prentiss: [snickering] Okay, I'm sorry.
- Dr. Spencer Reid: [voiceover] "From childhood's hour, I have not been As others are; I have not seen As others have." ~~ Edgar Allen Poe
- Derek Morgan: Four pair of shoes.
- Dr. Spencer Reid: Why exactly is that relevant?
- Derek Morgan: Come on, Reid, how many women you know only have four pairs of shoes in their closet?
- Dr. Spencer Reid: My experience in and around women's closets isn't exactly extensive enough to really formulate an opinion.
- Derek Morgan: The answer is none. You can take my word for it.
- Derek Morgan: Hey, baby girl, whatever you're doing, drop it.
- Penelope Garcia: Yes, and with pleasure. Let me tell you something, sweetheart. This is a Lamborghini you are talking to. You have to drive me. You can't just leave me parked in the garage collecting dust, or I will wilt.
- Derek Morgan: Well, please forgive my neglect. I need you to rev up that fine-tuned, Italian engine of yours, then.
- Penelope Garcia: Revving.
- Derek Morgan: Our UnSub had personal details about Marlene Smith, so I need you to figure out who might have been in her house recently. Cable guy, plumber, people like that.
- Penelope Garcia: Yeah. I always wonder about plumbers. You know, they peek in your medicine cabinet. You just know it.
- Derek Morgan: Maybe try a phone repairman or a babysitter. Check computers in the house. Maybe she used one of those techie fix-it type dweebs who makes house calls.
- Penelope Garcia: Hey, watch it. Language.
- Derek Morgan: You know, I'm just playing with you, but come on, put a rush on it. Clock's ticking, okay?
- Penelope Garcia: Rush is the only speed a Lamborghini has. Proud techie dweeb over and out.
- David Rossi: A mother who wants to kill herself. What does that say to a child? That you're not worth sticking around for?
- Derek Morgan: Cheerful.
- Dr. Spencer Reid: Depression is a vicious cycle. It frequently manifests itself in the degradation of one's personal living environment, which in turn, fuels the depression, which then worsens the living environment.
- Derek Morgan: I'll take a look around in here. Why don't you check out the kitchen?
- Dr. Spencer Reid: The kitchen.
- Derek Morgan: Is that a problem?
- Dr. Spencer Reid: Frankly, I'm not too anxious to see the perishable food version of this room.
- Dr. Spencer Reid: How about 10 pairs of shoes? I mean, that has to be enough, right? Ten?
- Jennifer 'JJ' Jareau: Spence, it's different with the ladies. We need them to match our belts, our handbags, our skirts, and the fashions change with the seasons.
- Penelope Garcia: Yes. Boys are so boring. Pants, shoes, out the door.
- Emily Prentiss: Although, it's not like men don't have their things. I dated a golfer once. He had 12 putters in his closet. But this conversation is reminding me I need new boots.
- Penelope Garcia: They're having a sale at DeMille's on those tall-shaft kitty heels. You like those. Do you want to go?
- Emily Prentiss: Yeah.
- Derek Morgan: You getting all this, kid?
- Dr. Spencer Reid: No.
- Dr. Spencer Reid: Mrs. Tanner, please don't take this the wrong way, but exactly what drug are you addicted to? You're displaying symptoms of withdrawal.
- Kelsey Tanner: [indignantly] Are you crazy?
- Derek Morgan: Ma'am, we saw two deals go down on the other side of the park when we arrived. You were here to buy, weren't you? That's what had you distracted.
- Kelsey Tanner: I can't believe that you... actually think I...
- Derek Morgan: Your child is missing, Miss Tanner. Every minute, every half-minute, counts. You need to tell us the truth, and you need to tell us now.
- David Rossi: You know, I'm really glad you called me. It would be nice if we saw each other more than once every three or four years.
- Carolyn Baker Rossi: Maybe we can.
- [pause]
- Carolyn Baker Rossi: So, give me the update. Anybody serious in your life?
- David Rossi: Well, there are all those serial killers. They're pretty serious.
- [last lines]
- David Rossi: Hey, what's going on with you?
- Carolyn Baker Rossi: Um... You know, I... I don't know how to say this, except to just say it.
- [pause]
- Carolyn Baker Rossi: Last year, I was diagnosed with ALS, Lou Gehrig's disease.
- David Rossi: Carolyn...
- Carolyn Baker Rossi: Like you always said, nobody lives forever.
- David Rossi: Why didn't you call me earlier? I could have...
- Carolyn Baker Rossi: Please let me finish. Because if I don't get this out now, I don't know that I ever will. I've had this disease for over a year. To live 18 months is a gift. The last few weeks I've started noticing the signs. It won't be long now. I came to ask you when the disease reaches the point, and I'm too weak or too afraid, I want you to help me leave this world on my own terms. When it's time, will you help me end my life?
- Derek Morgan: Yeah, Hotch, the mother's addicted to Oxy. She was out here to buy.
- Aaron Hotchner: All right, let's put her in protective custody.
- Derek Morgan: So we got one mom suicidal, and the other one addicted to drugs. At least we got a pattern developing.
- Aaron Hotchner: And if the unsub holds to pattern, he's gonna circle back and try to kill her.
- Aaron Hotchner: We're looking for a male unsub in his mid- to late twenties. Physically fit enough to subdue Marlene Smith, and carry out a vicious attack and sustained attack.
- David Rossi: We believe he sees himself as a rescuer, taking children away from unfit parents. He may very well have abandonment issues from his own childhood.
- Derek Morgan: The impulsive nature of committing the murder out in the open suggests that he's inexperienced.
- Dr. Spencer Reid: The violence on Marlene Smith went from precision to frenzy, which points to someone with classic psychopathic traits; quick to rage and quick to recover.
- Emily Prentiss: He also appears to have insider knowledge of the families in these cases, so we need to look for someone who was privy to what went on behind those closed doors.
- Dr. Spencer Reid: Emergency personnel were called to the Smith house after both suicide attempts, and once to the Tanner house after the mother overdosed on prescription drugs.
- Jennifer 'JJ' Jareau: That means first responders, Child Service workers, ambulance personnel. Both missing children apparently went without struggle or protest. That makes us think that they had prior contact with the person we're looking for.
- David Rossi: Or they inherently trust who he is by the virtue of his job. The uniform he wears; doctor, mailman, policeman.
- Derek Morgan: So far, the violence has been directed to the offending parent, but we don't know what the unsub's endgame is.
- Emily Prentiss: We have written up a media release on precautions the public needs to take.
- Aaron Hotchner: And we've taken the second mother into protective custody, thus depriving him of his target. This will increase his volatility.
- David Rossi: That's why it's critical we find these kids. If they are alive, he may turn his violence against the children themselves.
- David Rossi: We got all the kids back safe. Think about it, Aaron. How often does that happen?
- Aaron Hotchner: Not often enough.
- Carolyn Baker Rossi: The Cioppino was delicious.
- David Rossi: You gotta love any dish that recommends the wearing of a bib.
- Jennifer 'JJ' Jareau: Mrs. Smith? I'm Agent Jareau. Jennifer. I'm with the FBI.
- Marlene Smith: Did you hear any more about my Bobby?
- Jennifer 'JJ' Jareau: No, ma'am. But our entire team is here, and we are the best at what we do. We're gonna need your help, okay?
- Marlene Smith: Okay.
- Jennifer 'JJ' Jareau: I have a boy of my own. He's almost three. I... can't even imagine what you are going through.
- Marlene Smith: He's so little.
- Jennifer 'JJ' Jareau: I know. Can you tell me what happened the morning you dropped him off?
- Marlene Smith: I was having one of my bad days.
- Jennifer 'JJ' Jareau: And what does one of your bad days look like?
- Marlene Smith: I wanted to hurt myself. I can't control it.
- Jennifer 'JJ' Jareau: Is that why you took him to his grandmother?
- Marlene Smith: Yeah. I have to protect him.
- Jennifer 'JJ' Jareau: And you had done this in the past?
- Marlene Smith: [near tears] Yeah. I just had to get him out of the house. You know? I just had to get him out of the house. That's all I kept thinking about, was just get him out! Get him out!
- Marlene Smith: So when I was feeling better, I-I went to my mother's to pick him up, and... that's when they told me he wasn't there.
- Jennifer 'JJ' Jareau: You didn't call ahead before you dropped him off?
- Marlene Smith: Yeah. She didn't answer.
- Jennifer 'JJ' Jareau: She doesn't have an answering machine?
- Marlene Smith: Yeah, she does, but there wasn't time for that.
- Jennifer 'JJ' Jareau: Please help me understand, Mrs. Smith. It takes ten seconds to leave a message. Look, these... these bad days that you have, I understand. There... there must be times when...
- Marlene Smith: [sobbing, showing JJ the scars on her wrists] Look. Bobby saw me do this before. Twice. I had to get him out of the house! Don't you understand?
- [first lines]
- Bobby Smith: [banging the door] Mom, open the door! Please! Mom, open the door! Please don't, Mom! Please don't!
- [Marlene holds scissors]
- Bobby Smith: Please don't. Please! Open the door! Please! Please don't, Mom!
- [Marlene throws scissors]
- Bobby Smith: Mom? Open the door. Mom! Open it! Mom, please. Mom.
- Marlene Smith: [Marlene and Bobby arrives at grandmother's house] Come on. Come on, Bobby! Let's go.
- Bobby Smith: Let me stay with you.
- Marlene Smith: Don't cry, sweetheart. Come on, please.
- Bobby Smith: I don't want to do this again.
- Marlene Smith: I know, and I'm so, so, so sorry. Everything's gonna be okay. It's okay. Go on.
- [leaves Bobby alone]
- Bobby Smith: [to the wagon driver] What are you doing here?
- David Rossi: I am really sorry. I had to take that.
- Carolyn Baker Rossi: It's okay. Fruit plate? Whatever happened to the usual bacon and eggs, extra grease on the side?
- David Rossi: Well, I've changed. Okay, the cantaloupe is for your benefit. When we were married, you were always warning me about clogged arteries.
- Carolyn Baker Rossi: And you would always say to me...
- David Rossi: Nobody lives forever.
- Bobby Smith: I want to go home now.
- George Kelling: I need to ask you something, Bobby. Your mother, she's unhappy a lot. Would you like it if her pain could stop? 'Cause I can make that happen. Do you want me to help your mom?
- [Bobby gives a slight nod]
- George Kelling: That's good, Bobby. That means you're strong like me. You made the right decision.
- Bobby Smith: Wait, where are you going?
- George Kelling: To help your mom.
- Bobby Smith: [finds the bloodied knife] Where is my mom?
- George Kelling: I took your mom to a place where she'll be happier. That's what you said you wanted.
- Bobby Smith: No.
