Kate Hoffer : What is wrong with you?
Sue Walsh : You still don't get it, do you?
Kate Hoffer : I trusted you.
Sue Walsh : And I trusted you.
Kate Hoffer : What are you talking about?
Sue Walsh : When I moved into your perfect little house, your perfect little street, everybody told me that I lucked out., that I got myself a good family. Well, I had a good family. I didn't want yours.
Kate Hoffer : What happened to your family wasn't fair, but why would you take that out on Gabby?
Sue Walsh : At first I thought that it wasn't only me that he touched.
Kate Hoffer : What are you talking about? Where is Gabby?
Sue Walsh : Gabby's gone. Now, you know how I used to feel.
Kate Hoffer : What?
Sue Walsh : Like there's no air left.
Kate Hoffer : Where?
Sue Walsh : For a really long time, I thought that's just how things worked in your family. 'Cause your dad liked me to sit on his lap, till it got more than that. I used to stay up late at night to see if he opened your door, too. But he didn't. Just mine. He always did say that I was his special little girl.
Kate Hoffer : That's not true. My dad never touched you.
Sue Walsh : He used to put me on the floor 'cause it was quieter. When he was done, I'd put the lightbug on and I'd go under the bed. That's where I sleep, but not you. You got all the good memories.
Kate Hoffer : You're... you're insane.
Sue Walsh : Maybe I am. What does that make you? You left your kid for five days. All I know is that I will never let mine out of my sight. She'll be here in the summertime.
Rodney Baderson : Oh, my God.
Alex Blake : She mixed her past and present tenses, which shows unconscious deception.

Agent Tia Canning : Disrupted adoptions?
Dr. Spencer Reid : That's what the people involved are calling it. They're also referring to it as re-homing. And it's been happening underground for some time now.
Alex Blake : Until now, it's mainly been overwhelmed adoptive parents of problem children from overseas.
Dr. Spencer Reid : Good people go on site looking for guidance or services, but bad people offer to take problem kids off their hands as a last resort.
Agent Tia Canning : So they just give them away to some random couple?
Jennifer Jareau : Calling them couples is a bit generous. The article talks about these people who pose as families, but really they're just freaks looking for access to kids.
Alex Blake : And no one's keeping track of them.
Agent Tia Canning : Why isn't this illegal?
Aaron Hotchner : Well, 'cause it's a relatively new practice, and unsurprisingly, no legislation's been written yet.
