"Criminal Minds" Persuasion (TV Episode 2014) - Jeanne Tripplehorn as Alex Blake

Alex Blake : 2 out of 10 again. But this is the third victim that we know about, so it can't be about a hit list.

Dr. Spencer Reid : 2 out of 10 isn't a countdown at all. I think he might be referring to a hobo code.

Alex Blake : From the Great Depression?

Dr. Spencer Reid : Exactly. It means two eyes on ten fingers because thieves are present.
Detective Solana Ramirez : How'd you get him to talk?

Dr. Spencer Reid : Neuro-linguistic programming. I used sensory predicates and key words for tap into his unconscious mind. Marvin Caul must have done the exact same thing.

Detective Solana Ramirez : You've lost me.

Aaron Hotchner : NLP is a way of thinking and communicating based on linguistic modeling.

Alex Blake : For example, key words like know and imagine open someone up to suggestion. It's behind a lot of persuasion and sales techniques.
Alex Blake : That means she was probably a tourist though.

Dr. Spencer Reid : Last year Las Vegas documented 39,727,022 visitors.
Aaron Hotchner : Hold on! Can you rewind that about 5 seconds? Take a look at Renee.

Alex Blake : She's stealing!

Detective Solana Ramirez : She's a strip-miner! I can't believe I missed that. Strip-miners take money or chips left behind or unwatched by careless tourists. They dress to look like tourists themselves so they are not spotted by casino security.
