- Penelope Garcia: You are not really looking at my project. You always look at my projects, Derek. What's wrong?
- Derek Morgan: Ah, Baby Girl, I am sorry. I don't know, me and Savannah we had like this amazing night, and cut to four hours later and she throwing me an air kiss and rushing out the door to work, and I got stuck at 2 o'clock in the morning walking her little pup!
- Penelope Garcia: Oh, you got Morganed.
- Derek Morgan: Morganed? What? What are you talking about?
- Penelope Garcia: You are on call, 24/7, and when a case comes in, you drop whatever and whoever you are doing and haul ass back to work.
- Derek Morgan: Well I guess I never thought about it like that.
- Penelope Garcia: And now you have what Oprah calls an aha moment. Think about it: if you would have gotten the call, you would have done exactly the same thing to her because your job comes first and so does hers. And that's why you two work.
- Derek Morgan: [sigh]
- Penelope Garcia: Oh my gosh, she is you in heels.
- Derek Morgan: You're right.
- Penelope Garcia: I am always right. Also you are secretly in love with me.
- Jennifer Jareau: Another missing kid?
- Penelope Garcia: Yeah, this is where it goes from whack to super whack with a side of awful.
- David Rossi: How did Gavin know that there would be a cop in the diner at that exact moment?
- Dr. Spencer Reid: Chicago has over 13,000 police officers, that is roughly 60 per square mile, and there are two precincts in a 4-block radius of the diner. My guess is just a matter of time before a cop would walk in.
- Dr. Spencer Reid: There's something known as the magical age, between 9 and 12, when a child's psyche is more malleable. That could be why the unsub changed his victimology. Like the child soldiers being recruited by the rebels in Sudan, they lack the physical and emotional maturity to resist their captors.
- David Rossi: He realized that the younger that he went, the easier they would be to control.
- Alex Blake: I know that look. The wheels are turning.
- David Rossi: I've seen this before. Muzzle flash burns. We'd occasionally see this on POWs in Vietnam.
- Alex Blake: So someone held a gun to his head and repeatedly fired blanks.
- Dr. Spencer Reid: It's incredibly risky, especially considering the margin of error when holding the barrel of a gun to someone's temporal bone. The discharge alone can cause a skull to shatter.
- David Rossi: Which means not only did this person want to put the fear of god into Gavin, but he knew exactly how to do it without killing him.
- Alex Blake: This poor kid was tortured.
- Dr. Spencer Reid: Or trained. What if whoever did this wanted to make sure if he got caught, he'd never talk?
- Aaron Hotchner: It's possible we're dealing with a terrorist organization with one man at the center. We're basing our profile on his motivation.
- Derek Morgan: We believe these children were abducted by a preferential offender who targets pre-pubescent boys.
- Alex Blake: Our unsub is likely a male in his forties, with some military or law enforcement training.
- Jennifer Jareau: We think he has a secluded location that provides enough privacy to hold his victims captive for several years.
- David Rossi: In that time, he breaks these kids down, rebuilds them to be hardened soldiers.
- Dr. Spencer Reid: We believe they're suffering from an extreme case of Stockholm syndrome. Much like Patty Hearst, who came to view the SLA as her new family and the rest of the world as adversaries, we believe he's attempting to instill this same feeling within his army.
- Derek Morgan: He likely uses military torture techniques to get his victims to see his enemies as their own.
- Dr. Spencer Reid: He puts them through a rigorous and punishing military training regimen in order to prepare them mentally and physically for his war.
- Derek Morgan: And once this happens, the physical threats stop and the reprogramming begins.
- Jennifer Jareau: And now that he has their trust, he maintains this connection by bolstering them with love and affection.
- David Rossi: His connection to them is important. It ensures once they're released, they will not deviate from their orders.
- Alex Blake: His ultimate target has yet to be determined, but it could be as broad as American citizens.
- Dr. Spencer Reid: These attacks have been well orchestrated, methodical, and extremely violent in order to maximize destruction and panic.
- Aaron Hotchner: Which is why we need to get ahead of him in order to prevent more bloodshed. But in order to do that, we need to identify the source of his rage.
- Derek Morgan: [opening quote] Alfred Hitchcock said: "There is no terror in the bang, only in the anticipation of it."
- Jennifer Jareau: What's your name?
- Cameron Patterson: My name is... Cameron Patterson... I'm a soldier, 53699.
- Jennifer Jareau: Is that what he told you to say?
- [Cameron nods]
- Jennifer Jareau: Cameron, you don't have to say that ever again. Okay?
- [Cameron nods again]
- Dr. Spencer Reid: Chicago has one of the largest gang populations, with over 100,000 active members. Last year 61% of all homicides were found to be gang related.
- Wayne Gulino: Everything we've worked for all these years, it's come to this moment.
- [hands a gun to the girl]
- Wayne Gulino: Make me proud.
- [last lines]
- Derek Morgan: How did you know I was going to be home?
- Savannah Hayes: Sit... Penelope sent me a text when you guys left Chicago.
- Derek Morgan: Oh, she did?... And you did all of this for me?
- Savannah Hayes: Yes. And... I made you... this.
- Derek Morgan: Well.
- Savannah Hayes: Which is why takeout will be here in 20 minutes. I hope you like Indian.
- Derek Morgan: Anything is better than whatever that is.
- Savannah Hayes: I know. It's kind of bad... Stop!
- Derek Morgan: How was your day? Did you save some lives?
- Savannah Hayes: Mm. We both did.
- Derek Morgan: Yeah, we did... So, uh, what do you got in mind for the next 20 minutes?
- Officer Ryan Clayburn: I'll never forget the look in that kid's eyes. It was like he was ready to die. They say the worst part about being a cop... is watching innocent people die in front of you... They were right.
