Profiling 101 (2012)

Nate Thomas: Lance

Quotes 

• Emily Prentiss : Fifty-three stab wounds. That's a lot of work. Does anyone want to tell me what they think that means?

  Lance : Hatred?

  Sloan : Frustration.

  Bianca : He's angry.

  Emily Prentiss : You're all correct. It's called overkill. Typically, it means the murder was personal somehow.

  Aaron Hotchner : That or the unsub is psychotic and/or prone to violent outbursts.

  Derek Morgan : The overkill may also show his inexperience. This was probably his first kill, and he was feeling his way through it, working out his M.O.

  Emily Prentiss : But there's a lot about Rachel that tells us about the unsub. She was young, so most likely he was, too.

  Lance : What makes you think that?

  Jennifer Jareau : She lived in a shelter, and had a part-time job, so she was a street kid, but not necessarily the reckless type. She wouldn't just go off with anyone.
