Quotes 

• Dr. Spencer Reid : You had eyes on me while I was in prison, didn't you?

  Cat Adams : Spencie, don't ruin the moment.

  Dr. Spencer Reid : I don't want to, but I'm on the clock. Answer my question. Am I right?

  Cat Adams : Yes, you're right. I wanted to make sure things were just as uncomfortable for you as they were for me.

  Luke Alvez : That's what we missed. The inside man that's been helping them.

  David Rossi : He didn't just work at Cat's prison, he worked at hers and Reid's.

  Emily Prentiss : Garcia, look for any overlap.

  Penelope Garcia : Compiling now. Here's something. Lionel Wilkins. He worked at both Mount Pleasant and and the Millburn Correctional Facility.

  Dr. Tara Lewis : Okay, look, this guy could have gotten her pregnant. But there's no way he could have gotten his hand on Reid's file.

  Stephen Walker : Well, not directly. He could have called in a favor from a friend at the Bureau.

  Luke Alvez : So someone must have wanted to screw us this whole time.

  Emily Prentiss : Someone who's not gonna work for the Bureau much longer.

• Emily Prentiss : I know we're all tired, but we might have a new lead on Mr. Scratch.

  Penelope Garcia : Somebody did a bang-up job of cloning my cell phone to send Morgan a fake text luring him to a non-existent safe house. And whoever that somebody is has mad skills.

  Stephen Walker : The kind of skills Scratch has.

  Luke Alvez : Were you able to trace where the hack came from?

  Penelope Garcia : [to Morgan, insulted]  Do... do you see what I have to put up with?

  Derek Morgan : Alvez, you'll always get a location with this one. You guys are all good to go.

  Emily Prentiss : Obviously, Morgan can't come with us. He's a civilian now.

  Jennifer Jareau : Yeah, we'll miss you out there.

  Derek Morgan : I'd be lying if I said I didn't miss it out there in the field with you guys. I think about it every day. But between my old friends and my new friends, you guys are gonna go out there, you're gonna handle your business, you're gonna make people feel safe, and then you're gonna come home. And that's all that matters.

• Stephen Walker : Look, Mr. Fords, we appreciate that our kind isn't welcome around here.

  John Fords : Hey, I don't judge folks by the color of their skin.

  Stephen Walker : Well, I was thinking more us being federal agents. The last thing you want is your customers to see you ratting them out to us.

  Dr. Tara Lewis : Something did bother you about this woman. Like how she was so petite and yet so experienced around a hand cannon like a .50 caliber Desert Eagle. Or the fact that she used multiple identies when she was buying ammunition for it.

  John Fords : Second. That's the amendment that guarantees my customers' right to bear arms. Fifth. That's the amendment where my customers' right to privacy is established. Griswold v Connecticut, I believe.

  Dr. Tara Lewis : This woman works for the drug cartels. We need to find her before she kills another victim.

  John Fords : [skeptical laugh]  Cartels. Her. Jesus wept. That's one hell of a story.

  Stephen Walker : Tell us another one, then.

  John Fords : The reason why that little miss has multiple IDs is because she's been harassed by bigots her entire life. And now her and her fiancé fell in love.

  Dr. Tara Lewis : Her fiancé? She was engaged?

  John Fords : And just as I don't judge race, I don't judge folks for who they love, either. Now get the hell out of my store, 'cause unless there's a Supreme Court case I haven't heard of, Obergefell v. Hodges is still the law of the land.

• Stephen Walker : We have something, but, uh... it's out there.

  Emily Prentiss : I'll take "out there".

  Stephen Walker : The gun store owner was more of a libertarian than you would think. He talked about how he never judged his customers or who they love.

  David Rossi : That's... weird.

  Stephen Walker : Yeah, not as weird as when he mentioned Obergefell.

  Emily Prentiss : The Supreme Court decision that legalized gay marriage.

  Stephen Walker : You said we were missing something in the relationship between these two women. What if it's this?

  Dr. Tara Lewis : The risks that Lindsey's taking, the bond she has with Cat, it's not professional. It's romantic.

• Stephen Walker : Well, this casts a big shadow over Lindsey's next move. By exposing their plan to us, she knows there's no happy ending, no future with Cat.

  Luke Alvez : And she's going to take Reid's mother with her. That's the ultimate act of revenge against the guy who took her lover away.

  Emily Prentiss : JJ, what do you have?

  Jennifer Jareau : Will you take me off speaker?

  [Prentiss turns the speakerphone off and leaves; cut to her office, where she drops her cell phone on her desk] 

  Emily Prentiss : Are you kidding me? Are you kidding?

  Jennifer Jareau : Well, here's where it gets tricky. Do we believe her or not? On the one hand, getting pregnant is a power control move straight out of the female psychopath handbook. On the other hand...

  Emily Prentiss : If her story is true, it meant she sent her lesbian lover down to Mexico to get Reid to... ugh.

  Jennifer Jareau : Yeah. Either way, she is pregnant. I just refuse to believe it belongs to Spence.

  Emily Prentiss : It could be the person inside the prison who's been helping her. Getting pregnant serves two purposes: gaslighting Reid and emotional blackmail against that employee.

  Jennifer Jareau : Yeah, but Emily, we don't know who that guy is yet.

  [as JJ talks, Prentiss' phone beeps and she sees the AMBER alert she sent out] 

  Jennifer Jareau : And Alvez and Rossi aren't going to in the time they have left.

  Emily Prentiss : JJ, I gotta call you back.

• Emily Prentiss : What have you got?

  Dr. Tara Lewis : We looked for overlap with all of Lindsey's known aliases and we found one. She made multiple purchases using multiple IDs at the same location.

  Stephen Walker : Fords Gun Shop.

  Dr. Tara Lewis : And wouldn't you know it, he has the largest selection of hollow point ammunition in the Tri-State area.

  Emily Prentiss : Go, quickly. We are on Cat's clock now. We only have three and a half hours left.

• Emily Prentiss : Have we dispatched units to the location Scratch tried to lure us to?

  Dr. Tara Lewis : I coordinated it before we left. They're on their way.

  Luke Alvez : SWAT will meet us on site at Scratch's house.

  Emily Prentiss : I know we all want this son of a bitch's head on a platter, but SWAT has to clear every single room before we step foot inside.

  Jennifer Jareau : Well, have they been briefed? This guy's traps have traps.

  David Rossi : The house itself could be a setup.

  Stephen Walker : Or a waste of our time so he can get away.

  Emily Prentiss : Whatever it is, he's gonna try to take us by surprise. We have to be ready for anything.
