Thomas Gibson: Aaron Hotchner

Quotes 

• Penelope Garcia : Oh, hey, guys. Hey. I just wanted to see what was going on. Hi, hello.

  Emily Prentiss : This better be important, Garcia.

  Penelope Garcia : Oh, it's nothing. It's just that a messenger came by the office today with some papers from escrow!

  Emily Prentiss : No!

  Penelope Garcia : Oh, yes. The house in Dupont Circle. You got it! Woo!

  Aaron Hotchner : Congratulations!

  David Rossi : [sees Prentiss's smile fade]  Six seconds. Fastest case of buyer's remorse ever.

• Aaron Hotchner : [voiceover]  "Sooner murder an infant in its cradle than nurse unacted desires." - William Blake.

• Derek Morgan : What do we got, baby girl?

  Penelope Garcia : Thank you, sir. We have a killing in Enid, Oklahoma, and not the capital punishment one you are thinking of right now. I'm talking about a woman named Cara Smith, who was murdered in her apartment minutes after the execution of Rodney Garrett.

  Aaron Hotchner : A neighbor saw her front door open and discovered the body.

  David Rossi : Look familiar?

  Jennifer 'JJ' Jareau : Young, pretty, short blonde hair.

  David Rossi : And stabbed directly through the heart.

  Dr. Spencer Reid : That's exactly the way Garrett killed his victims.

  Derek Morgan : So are we looking at a copycat?

  Jennifer 'JJ' Jareau : Or someone creating doubt the right person was executed.

  David Rossi : In Garrett's case, there was no doubt. His guilt was the slam dunk of all slam dunks. Prints, DNA, a confession.

  Dr. Spencer Reid : He even led police to where he buried two of his victims.

  Emily Prentiss : Garrett killed twenty-five women before he was caught. If this new unsub is a copycat, body count's just started.

• Emily Prentiss : Hotch, I think I found her.

  Aaron Hotchner : You're on speaker, Prentiss.

  Emily Prentiss : The unsub must have circled back. He dumped her just outside the perimeter of the abduction site.

  Jennifer 'JJ' Jareau : Same M.O.?

  Emily Prentiss : No, she's got stab wounds all over her torso. It's bad., and, Hotch, this time he removed her scalp.

  Jennifer 'JJ' Jareau : Overkill. He must be enraged he wasn't able to carry the murder out as planned.

  David Rossi : So now we might have another problem. If our unsub's blueprint is out the window, this may transition him into a spree killer.

• Emily Prentiss : There was definitely something a little strange about her.

  Aaron Hotchner : It's curious, one woman at the center of two serial killers.

  Jennifer 'JJ' Jareau : Yeah, what are the odds of that?

  Dr. Spencer Reid : Astronomical. By removing from the calculations serial killer groupies...

  Jennifer 'JJ' Jareau : Sorry I asked.

  Derek Morgan : You know, whether she knew it or not, maybe Helen Garrett did give Dylan something. I mean, someone once said that every seed, even malignant ones, they won't grow unless they get water from someplace.

• Aaron Hotchner : He's killed at 6 AM, noon, and 6 PM.

  Dr. Spencer Reid : I don't know about you guys, but I not feeling so good about the stroke of midnight.
