Quotes 

• Derek Morgan : [Irritatedly]  Come on, guys. Gentle lights, shadowy figures? Those are the lights in the emergency room and the doctors hovering over the patients, we all know that. No one actually sees the afterlife.

  Dr. Spencer Reid : I did.

  [Everyone in the room turns to look at him] 

  Dr. Spencer Reid : Before Tobias Hankel resuscitated me, I had that exact experience, and I wasn't in an emergency room. I was in a shed.

  Derek Morgan : [More gently]  Reid, you never told me that.

• Dr. Spencer Reid : I'm a man of science. I didn't know how to deal with it. There's no quantifiable proof that God exists, and yet, in that moment I was faced with something that I couldn't explain. I still can't.

  Aaron 'Hotch' Hotchner : What if this UnSub has had a similar experience and this is his way of looking for answers?

  David Rossi : If that's the case, why kill Jake Shepherd? Why not just talk to him?

  Emily Prentiss : He wanted to see if he had the same experience as before.

  Jennifer Jareau : Once isn't enough?

  Emily Prentiss : Not if Jake didn't see the same thing the UnSub did. He wants to know if the experience can change. I can relate to that. Reid felt a warmth and saw a light. When I coded in the ambulance, all I felt was cold and darkness. And I would like to think that there's a different future waiting for me.

  Dr. Spencer Reid : You actually died?

  Derek Morgan : All right, but resuscitation is hit or miss. He can't guarantee that he can actually bring anyone back, let alone that anyone will remember what happened in their moment of so-called death.

  David Rossi : Reid, what's the best way to make sure his victims had an experience?

  Dr. Spencer Reid : Keep them dead longer.

• Jennifer Jareau : Now, that I noticed.

  Derek Morgan : Is something going on?

  Emily Prentiss : How did it go the other night?

  Derek Morgan : What happened the other night?

  Dr. Spencer Reid : You okay?

  David Rossi : Well, why wouldn't I be?

  Jennifer Jareau : You seem distracted.

  David Rossi : I'm considering a purchase.

  Derek Morgan : Come on, now, Rossi, you know we're not buying that. What's really going on?

  David Rossi : Look, it was a late night with Ringo and not enough coffee. I mean, the guy's a world-class drummer, but don't think I didn't wipe the floor with him in Rock Band.

  Jennifer Jareau : All right, what do you think?

  Emily Prentiss : He could be telling the truth. I only played him to the easy level.

  Dr. Spencer Reid : I can't tell.

  David Rossi : And you never will.

  Aaron 'Hotch' Hotchner : Let's get started.
