Quotes 

• Dr. Spencer Reid : Where's Hotch being held?

  David Rossi : I don't know yet. I have calls out.

  Dr. Tara Lewis : Metro SWAT took him in?

  David Rossi : Yeah, but it has to be bigger than that.

  Dr. Spencer Reid : JJ's on her way here right now. She couldn't explain everything on the phone because she's with the kids.

  Penelope Garcia : Okay, maybe Hotch was SWATted. That's an extreme prank that gamers pull on their opponents, where they fake a 911 on them. It's recently escalated among celebrities.

  David Rossi : If it was a prank, they wouldn't have arrested him.

  Dr. Spencer Reid : Unless they didn't know. If someone called 911 and said that Hotch is a threat, SWAT has to respond. Which means somewhere, there's a record of that call.

• Dr. Spencer Reid : With these three press conferences, we can prove to the Inspector General's office that Hotch's 911 call was spliced together.

  David Rossi : That's a good start, but they're not gonna listen to anything we have to say until we give them a viable suspect.

  Jennifer Jareau : Yeah, especially with explosives in play. They planted enough on Hotch to make it look like he was ready to blow up a city block.

  David Rossi : Okay, back to basics. Someone's framing Hotch. Who'd want to?

  Dr. Spencer Reid : He's put away a lot of people. We've seen the lengths that Chazz Montolo went to against Morgan for revenge. We shouldn't underestimate anything.

• Dr. Spencer Reid : [in a suspect's home]  We should secure the house, but we're not gonna find anything else here. Best hope is to get him talking, but that could be tough.

  David Rossi : Why?

  Dr. Spencer Reid : Well, he displays both collecting behavior and unique dysgraphia traits in his handwriting. I'm pretty sure he's autistic.

• Dr. Spencer Reid : We're looking at a case of counterfeit deviance. If Asher is autistic, he has trouble reading social clues.

  Dr. Tara Lewis : Yeah, but in this case, we're dealing with somebody high-functioning.

  Dr. Spencer Reid : What used to be labeled Asperger syndrome.

  Dr. Tara Lewis : And that's where the counterfeit deviance comes in.

  Dr. Spencer Reid : Documented examples include high-functioning autistics who collect child porn to pretend to plan a school shooting. They know that there's power in those images and those actions, but for them, there's no paraphilia behind it. They don't derive pleasure from it. What I don't see is someone who's interested in explosives. We need to rule out...

  Jennifer Jareau : That someone's pulling his strings just like he's been pulling ours.

• Penelope Garcia : If we're talking about vacations, guess where I'm going.

  Dr. Spencer Reid : Hmm. To visit Emily?

  Penelope Garcia : Yes. How did you know that?

  Dr. Spencer Reid : Because nothing else would make you this excited.

• [last lines] 

  Dr. Tara Lewis : What is it now?

  Aaron Hotchner : Three more prison breaks in three different states, all organized by Rawdon's partners from his last bombing attempt.

  Penelope Garcia : The local field office got a head start because of what we did. They stopped the bomb threat, but...

  David Rossi : Who didn't they catch?

  Aaron Hotchner : All have serial killer wings just like VA Max.

  Dr. Tara Lewis : Let me guess; they were released first to cause maximum chaos and occupy law enforcement.

  Penelope Garcia : A lot of them were killed or recaptured, but not all of them.

  Jennifer Jareau : How many got away?

  Penelope Garcia : As of right now, thirteen serial killers, one of which is Peter Lewis.

  Dr. Spencer Reid : Mr. Scratch. That's why he testified against you. He was part of their plan all along.

  Aaron Hotchner : So we have to catch him again, along with twelve other murderers.

• Dr. Spencer Reid : [after hearing the 911 call recording]  It's subtle but it inflections changes. It sounds like the words are spliced together

  Jennifer Jareau : Let's look up all BAU press conferences led by Hotch

  Penelope Garcia : Right, maybe this unsub Frankensteined his voice

• Asher Douglas : I'm going to jail, aren't I?

  Dr. Spencer Reid : Not if you cooperate

  Asher Douglas : All right. I did it. All of it
