Criminal Minds (TV Series)

The Caller (2013)

Thomas Gibson: Aaron Hotchner

Quotes 

• Aaron Hotchner : [picks up his mobile]  What have you got, Garcia?

  Penelope Garcia : I triangulated the phone call that came to the Tafferts' house at 3:03 AM last night, and all I can say is: Whiskey, Tango, Foxtrot!

• Aaron Hotchner : The unsub wanted him to appear peaceful... Remorse?

  David Rossi : Well, that's in stark contrast to the violent imagery of blood on the Tafferts' front door.

  Aaron Hotchner : "I shall see the blood and pass you by."

  David Rossi : Exodus.

  Aaron Hotchner : The 10th plague of Egypt, the death of the firstborn. God commanded Moses to tell the Israelites to put lamb's blood above their door to spare their firstborn.

  David Rossi : The blood on the Tafferts' door could be related, but the unsub's got it backwards.

  Aaron Hotchner : Unless he thinks he spared Andy a fate worse than death.

• Aaron Hotchner : [his cell phone beeps]  Go ahead, Garcia.

  Penelope Garcia : I have got a list of Eastern European women around Memphis area who committed suicide within the last 4 decades. It's a short list. The most relevant name is Olga Milworth, who was from Romania.

  Dr. Spencer Reid : Like Nadia Clayvin was.

  Penelope Garcia : Yeah. She was married to an American named Charles Milworth, and 19 years ago she tried to kill herself and her son. Get this, her son survived.

  Aaron Hotchner : What's his name?

  Penelope Garcia : His name's Daniel Milworth, and he was incarcerated in Arizona for 11 years in a Psychiatric hospital for the criminally insane because he kidnapped and tortured a prostitute.

• Jennifer Jareau : No signs of forced entry or a struggle, according to the initial police report.

  Penelope Garcia : Mom and dad put him to bed at ten. Woke up this morning, he was gone.

  Alex Blake : Any visitors or workers to the house recently?

  Penelope Garcia : No, but the parents say in the last two weeks, they've received five phone calls from what sounds like a little boy prank calling them.

  Aaron Hotchner : They complained to authorities, but police determined that no laws had been broken.

  Penelope Garcia : Mm-hmm. The little boy says "I'm gonna get you", according to police reports. There's a lot of crazy people talking in the background; it sounds like it's coming from an asylum or prison.

  Derek Morgan : Well, I'd say the calls might coincidental, except the boy called again right after the parents found Andy missing, and he had a different message this time; "Did you see what I did?".

  Jennifer Jareau : So he's taunting them. Maybe this is about revenge.

  Alex Blake : "I'm gonna get you" is typically a threat, but in the case of children, it can also be a phrase used during play.

  Dr. Spencer Reid : You know, this sounds similar to a cold case from fifteen years ago. Frankie Clayvin of Memphis.

  David Rossi : I remember that. Gideon handled it. It obviously pre-dates all of you.

  Dr. Spencer Reid : Frankie Clayvin was nine years old at the time. He never made it home from school one day, was found dead in the woods thirty-six hours later five miles from his house.

• Jennifer Jareau : Phone calls before an abduction/murder? It's a rare signature.

  Derek Morgan : But if it is the same unsub, a dormancy period of fifteen years is highly unusual. Maybe we're looking at a copycat.

  David Rossi : If I'm not mistaken, Frankie Clayvin was killed within two hours of his abduction.

  Aaron Hotchner : Which means we're wasting time. Let's go.
