Beverly Katz : I found antler velvet in two of the wounds, like she was gored. I was looking for velvet in the other wounds, but I was interrupted.
Brian Zeller : Hold on, excuse me. Look, deer and elk pin their prey, okay? They put all their weight into their antlers, try and suffocate a victim. That's how they would kill, like a fox or a coyote.
Jack Crawford : All right, Elise Nichols was strangled, suffocated, her ribs are broken.
Special Agent Will Graham : Antler velvet is rich in nutrients. It actually promotes healing. He may have put it there on purpose.
Jack Crawford : You think he was trying to heal her?
Special Agent Will Graham : He wanted to undo as much as he could, given that he'd already killed her.
Jack Crawford : He put her back where he found her.
Special Agent Will Graham : Whatever he did to the others, he couldn't do it to her.
Jack Crawford : Is this is golden ticket?
Special Agent Will Graham : No. This is an apology.

Jack Crawford : Stag head was reported stolen last night, about a mile from here.
Special Agent Will Graham : Just the head?
Jack Crawford : Minneapolis Homicide's already made a statement. They're calling him the Minnesota Shrike.
Special Agent Will Graham : Like the bird?
Jimmy Price : Shrike's a perching bird. Impales mice and lizards on thorny branches and barbed wire. Rips their organs right out of their bodies, puts them in a little birdy pantry, and eats them later.
Jack Crawford : Can't tell whether it's sloppy or shrewd.
Special Agent Will Graham : He wanted her found this way. It's... it's petulant. I almost feel like he's mocking her. Or... he's mocking us.
Jack Crawford : Where did all his love go?
Special Agent Will Graham : Whoever tucked Elise Nichols into bed didn't paint this picture.
Brian Zeller : He took her lungs. I'm pretty sure she was alive when he cut 'em out.
