Current BAU Team

FBI BAU Supervisory Special Agent/Unit Chief Aaron "Hotch" Hotchner

Played by Thomas Gibson, Hotchner used to be a prosecutor, and was formerly assigned to the FBI Field Office in Seattle. His attempts to balance his family life and his job successfully had been an ongoing theme on the show. Shortly after he and his wife, Haley, were divorced, his family was threatened by The Reaper. Haley is eventually killed and Hotchner takes a leave of absence, likely to make up on lost time with his son, Jack. Hotch later returns to the team to help catch a criminal who has escaped from custody.

FBI BAU Supervisory Special Agent/Temporary Unit Chief Derek Morgan

Played by Shemar Moore, Morgan is a confident, assertive, and often hot-tempered character, the son of an African-American father and Caucasian mother. He went to Northwestern University on a football scholarship, holds a black belt in Judo, runs FBI self-defense classes, and served in a bomb squad unit and as a Chicago police officer. Former unit chief Aaron Hotchner promotes him to unit chief in Hotchner's place, a promotion Morgan sees as only temporary until the "The Reaper" is captured. He returned the unit chief position to Hotchner after "The Reaper" is killed.

FBI BAU Supervisory Special Agent David Rossi

Played by Joe Mantegna, Rossi, a "founding father" of the BAU, was in early retirement until his voluntary return to the BAU in 2007. He had retired in order to write books and go on lecture tours, but returned to settle some unfinished business which wasn't immediately specified but later revealed.

FBI BAU Supervisory Special Agent Dr. Spencer Reid

Played by Matthew Gray Gubler, Doctor Reid is a genius who graduated from a Las Vegas public high school at age 12. He is almost always introduced as Dr. Reid, even as the others are introduced as S.S.A. 'blank'. This was explained by S.S.A. Gideon in the first (pilot) episode that the reason why he gets called that by the other members of the team is to deflect comments about his age. It has been revealed that he holds Doctorates in Mathematics, Chemistry, and Engineering, BAs in Psychology and Sociology, and is working on a BA in Philosophy. After being kidnapped by an unsub in Revelations, he is drugged with the narcotic painkiller Dilaudid and becomes addicted, but later cleans up after going to a series of addiction support meetings specifically for members of law enforcement. He is godfather to Jareau's son, Henry.

FBI BAU Supervisory Special Agent Jennifer "JJ" Jareau

Played by AJ Cook, Jareau acts as the team's liaison with the media and local police agencies. She is dating William LaMontagne, a New Orleans Police Officer. The two have a son together, Henry. Her older sister committed suicide when she was 11.

FBI BAU Supervisory Special Agent Emily Prentiss

Played by Paget Brewster, Prentiss is the daughter of an ambassador. After Agent Elle Greenaway left the BAU, Prentiss showed up with papers stating she was the newest member of the BAU. At first it is implied that she pulled some strings through family ties to get her placement on the team. However, it is later revealed that FBI Section Chief Director Erin Strauss placed her there to have leverage on a team member in order to later undermine Hotchner. She refused to do so, deciding to resign rather than help Strauss undermine Hotch. She decides to stay with the BAU, but refuses to help Strauss get rid of Hotch. She is a self professed nerd and is also well spoken in some foreign languages. In the episode "Demonology", Prentiss's good friend from her childhood was killed. She later explains to Agent Rossi that she had gotten pregnant and her dead friend had brought her to get an abortion and the friend was the one who helped her out.

FBI Technical Analyst Penelope Garcia

Played by Kirsten Vangsness, Garcia is the team's computer technician at BAU Headquarters in Quantico, VA. She is flamboyant, fun-loving, and provides the rest of the team with comic relief. She lost both her parents at a young age and then lived off the grid as a computer hacker. Garcia brought the attention of the FBI upon herself after illegally accessing some of their equipment. She had little choice but to join the ranks of the bureau to avoid a jail sentence. She is god mother to Jareau's son, Henry. Garcia also got shot while on a date.

Former BAU Members

FBI BAU Supervisory Special Agent Jason Gideon

Played by Mandy Patinkin, Gideon was the BAU's best profiler and former Unit Chief (was Unit Chief prior to the series, but replaced by Hotchner before the series began). Prior to the series timeline he was said to have had a nervous breakdown (or "major depressive episode") after sending six agents into a Boston warehouse with a bomb in it. All six were killed and he was heavily criticized for his decision. It can be inferred that this was the reason Hotchner remained the Unit Chief of the BAU instead of Gideon retaking his old position. Gideon is also skilled at chess, having continually beaten Dr. Reid throughout the series.

Gideon also provided classified behavior analysis service for the CIA, and it is unknown how deep his assignments penetrated into the government. While it is an unofficial rule that the team not profile each other, Gideon was often seen counseling his agents and helping them through their problems. After a series of emotional cases, and the murder of his friend Sarah in Gideon's own house by fugitive serial killer "Frank", Gideon began to feel burned out. The last straw was Hotch's two-week suspension, for which Gideon felt responsible. He retreated to his cabin (the one place where his job couldn't find him) and left a letter for Dr. Reid, who he knew would be the one to come looking for him. When Reid arrived at the cabin, it was empty except for the letter and Gideon's badge and firearm. Gideon was last seen remarking to a Nevada diner waitress that he didn't know where he was going or how he would know when he got there, leaving the diner and subsequently driving off in his vehicle.

FBI BAU Supervisory Special Agent Elle Greenaway

Played by Lola Glaudini, Elle was formerly assigned to the FBI Field Office in Seattle, Washington, and assigned to the BAU as an expert in sexual offense crimes. Her father was a New York City Police Officer who was killed in the line of duty. She is half Cuban and speaks Spanish. Elle suffered extreme emotional trauma after she was shot by a psychotic UNSUB, who proceeded to stick his hand in her wound and write on the wall using her blood. She returned to the BAU rather quickly after the incident, against the advice of the rest of the team. Not long after, she staked out and shot a suspected serial rapist in cold blood because of his crimes against women (and, probably, her part in accidentally ensuring his freedom). Her ability as a profiler was questioned by Hotchner and Gideon because of this, even though the local police force deemed it self-defense. She turned in her badge and her gun to Hotchner, declaring that it wasn't "an admission of guilt."

FBI BAU Supervisory Special Agent Jordan Todd

Played by Meta Golding, Jordan was JJ's handpicked replacement to serve as the BAU's Media Director during JJ's maternity leave, from late 2008 through early 2009. Jordan had formerly served in the FBI Counterterrorism Division, but had only followed JJ for one day of shadowing when JJ went into labor (4x07, "Memoriam"). Thus, Jordan started somewhat abruptly into a job that she found more stressful than it appeared. Jordan seemed to get along well with most of the team, even flirting platonically with Derek Morgan. She was especially close with David Rossi, who was seen to counsel her while they were on cases. However, Jordan clashed several times with Unit Chief Aaron Hotchner. The first was after she lied to the mother of a victim in order to gain information to be used in the team's victimology (4x09, "52 Pickup").

Later, she was overwhelmed by her emotions during the Los Angeles Freeway Killer case. Feeling responsible for the death of another victim after a press conference she gave, she was visibly angry and emotional near television cameras, leading Hotch to tell her, "Tell me right now, can you do this job, or can't you?" Jordan did manage to get things under control, though the cumulative effect of that case and the files she had to look through every day seemed to be catching up with her. At the end of 4x13, "Bloodlines", she told Hotch that JJ would be waiting for them at the BAU by the time they returned. Though she had liked working with the team, she was glad to be going back to Counterterrorism. She advised Hotch that "a family takes on the character of its leader" and told him to make sure that JJ knew she wasn't taken for granted.

Other characters

Haley Brooks Hotchner

Played by Meredith Monroe, she was the high school sweetheart, and then wife, of Aaron Hotchner. According to 1x22 ("The Fisher King, Part 1"), Hotch spotted her in the hallways and was instantly smitten. Since she was in the school musical production, he joined as well, playing "the worst Fourth Pirate ever." Together they have a son named Jack, born in late 2005. Their marital issues were a running theme early on, specifically Haley's feelings that Hotch devoted more time to the job and the team than he did to his family. It all came to head in the first episodes of Season 3, and by the end of episode 3x02 ("In Name and Blood," also entitled "In Birth and Death"), Haley moved herself and Jack out of the house. At the end of episode 3x03 ("Scared to Death") Hotch mentioned to Morgan that he wasn't sure if Haley was coming back. Hotch was served with divorce papers as he was leaving the office for the day, at the end of episode 3x11 ("Birthright"); at Haley's request, and without retaining a lawyer, he signed them three episodes later (3x14, "Damaged").

Until 5x01, she and Jack were apparently still living in the house she and Hotch had shared. After being mentioned, but not seen, for nearly two seasons, Haley appeared in 5x01 ("Faceless, Nameless"). George Foyet, the Boston Reaper, stabbed Hotch, and stole Haley's address from Hotch's address book. Though she and Jack were soon found unharmed, they were taken into protective custody, intentionally leaving Hotch unaware of their new location. This left Hotch devastated, knowing that he would only be able to see Haley and Jack again once the Reaper was caught. In episode 5-09 "100", Haley is lured to her old home by George Foyet, who has led her to believe that the agent addressed to protect her is dead as well as Hotch. Once in the house with Foyet, he has her call Hotch and she realizes the peril she is in. Hotch tells her to be brave and show Foyet no fear as they tearfully say their goodbyes to each other. Foyet then shoots Haley to death while Hotch and the team listens over the phone.

Diana Reid

Played by Jane Lynch, she is Dr. Spencer Reid's mother. She first appeared in 1x22 ("The Fisher King, Part 1"), when it is discovered that she is connected to the serial killer Randall Garner, the man who shot SSA Elle Greenaway. Garner was institutionalized at the same mental hospital as Diana and it was her telling him about Reid that leads Garner to target the team. Like her son, Diana has a genius IQ. She was once a university literature professor, but is no longer, since her diagnosis of schizophrenia. She currently resides at the Las Vegas-based Bennington Sanitarium where Spencer committed her when he was eighteen. Her husband, William Reid, left her when Spencer was a child in part due to her schizophrenia.

Much of Diana and Spencer's time while he was growing up was spent with her reading to him. Spencer writes her a letter every single day. In episode 4x07 ("Memoriam"), while Reid is investigating the cold case of a murdered boy, it is discovered that Diana was involved. Reid had believed that his father was the boy's murderer, but it was revealed that Diana had figured out that the boy was murdered by a pedophile after the man had also approached Reid when he was four. Diana then informed the father of the murdered boy who in turn killed the pedophile. Diana had entered the house after the murder and suffered a psychotic episode, causing the family to move because she was under the belief that Reid's life was in danger (forgetting that the pedophile was dead), and causing such family stress that father left his wife and son.

FBI Section Chief Director Erin Strauss

Played by Jayne Atkinson, she is the BAU's direct superior. Her job lies in administration, and she had no actual field experience before accompanying the team to Milwaukee in 3x02 ("In Name and Blood"). She was under the impression that Hotch's team was disorganized, and posed a threat to the BAU. (It was also suspected by Hotch that she saw him as a threat to her own advancement within the FBI.) After placing Emily Prentiss on the team in early season 2, she attempted to enlist Emily's aid in spying on the team. Emily refused, instead briefly resigning. Strauss then used his and Gideon's handling of the Flagstaff, Arizona case as pretext to suspend Hotch for two weeks from the BAU, with a pending investigation on his methods. After seeing first-hand what the team's job is like (while catching Milwaukee serial killer Joe Smith), Strauss eventually backed off on her attempts at reorganizing the team and removing Hotch from the BAU. She instead made it clear that none of the team members would ever be promoted to any higher positions within the FBI.

However, the fact that a season later, Morgan was being looked at to head the New York field office makes her power to back up her claim questionable. Because of Hotch's questionable actions since being stabbed by George Foyet (aka the Boston Reaper) in 5x01 ("Faceless, Nameless"), Strauss is forcing Hotch to step down as Unit Chief, be reassigned or possibly be fired. Hotch decides to step down and promote Morgan, as this internal promotion will at least keep the team together. Morgan agrees, but says he will only serve in that role until George Foyet is apprehended (episode 5x05, "Cradle to Grave"). Strauss heads the investigation in the 100th episode involving the incident with Hotch and George Foyet. The team is hostile to her (Morgan, most notably) and though she seems to have it out for Hotch, shows genuine compassion for him at the end of his testimony and clears him of any suspicion.

Detective William LaMontagne Jr.

Played by Josh Stewart, Detective LaMontagne was first seen in 2x18 ("Jones") as a New Orleans detective investigating a serial killer case which had initially belonged to his father. Detective William LaMontange Sr. was a detective and had made a breakthrough in the case right before being killed in Hurricane Katrina. The unsub was believed to have suffered the same fate, but when evidence to the contrary arose, Detective LaMontagne took over the case using the work his father had done and a single clue carved on the wall by his father, just before he had died. Detective LaMontagne Jr. called in the BAU to assist him, and they were ultimately successful in capturing the unsub. LaMontagne Jr. spent much of his time on the case choosing to work closely with Agent Jareau.

In 3x17 ("In Heat"), it was revealed that they had been involved for over a year, and in 3x18 ("The Crossing"), JJ called Will to tell him she was pregnant with his child. In the season three finale ("Lo-Fi") Will showed up in New York City while the BAU was on a case, reiterating an off-screen proposal of marriage, and further telling JJ that he would be willing to give up his shield, move to Virginia, and raise their baby. As of early season 4, Will had moved to Virginia, and is apparently now serving as stay-at-home dad to their son, Henry. JJ has not, as yet, canonically accepted the marriage proposal, but they did exchange rings with insets of Henry's birthstone, citrine. He is seen briefly in the 100th episode getting medicine for Henry with JJ.

FBI Technical Analyst Kevin Lynch

Played by Nicholas Brendon, Kevin first appeared in 3x09 ("Penelope") in which he was required to search Garcia's computer to learn who shot her. Kevin sent the team live video alerting that the unsub was in the BAU headquarters. He was intensely impressed by Penelope's computer skills, and the feeling was mutual. At the end of the episode Garcia was introduced to Kevin, and the two have been romantically involved ever since. Though Garcia was briefly worried about violating FBI rules against fraternization after being "caught in the act" in her house by Rossi in 3x14 ("Damaged"), her worries did not bear fruit. Kevin visits the BAU often to spend time with Garcia, and seems to have been accepted whole-heartedly by the rest of the team.

In episode 4x23 ("Roadkill"), he told Garcia that he had applied for a better-paying job with the NSA, and asked whether she would be willing to move with him if he got it. Garcia struggled with this decision, eventually telling Kevin that the BAU was her home and she did not feel she could leave. Kevin then told her that the NSA position had just been withdrawn, due to a breach in security. Penelope let it slip that "you wouldn't have been happy in Karachi anyway," suggesting that she had hacked into the NSA mainframe to learn about the job. However, Kevin did not seem to be disturbed by her actions, and the relationship is, to all appearances, still going strong. He is seen briefly in the 100th episode and helps Penelope search for Foyet.

Blackwolf: Twenty-one feet.

Reid: What?

Blackwolf: Ask Agent Hotchner there, he's the real gun-hand.

Hotchner: Why do you say that?

Blackwolf: Like running.

Hotchner: Why do you say I carry two guns?

Callahan: Exactly. Why be separated from the work?

---

Reid: Hotch is married; Morgan's... you know... Morgan.

---

Reid: Elle, he's dead. You're-- you're right here. You won.

Elle: [holds up glass] Then here's to winning.

---

Morgan: I'd like to make a request.

Garcia: With that sultry voice? You name it.

---

Reid: I thought maybe... you might want to talk.

Elle: Don't go all profiler on me.

Reid: Elle, you got shot in your own home, and then came back to the BAU like nothing even happened. Thinking you might want to talk isn't profiling, it's Psych 101.

---

Gideon: Helen Keller once said "Although the world is full of suffering, it is full also of the overcoming of it."

The Boogeyman [2.6]

Reid: Garcia, I'm sitting in the dark alone, thanks.

Garcia: While you're waiting for a potential murderer to come home? Kind of dangerous. Kind of sexy.

---

Garcia: Reid, seriously, people that go inside that house never come out. Spoooky.

Reid: Garcia, could you at least pretend not to enjoy that rumor so much since I have actually entered that house?

---

Morgan: The only thing I was afraid of was the dark.

Reid: Some of us still are.

---

JJ: The woods were the only thing I was afraid of when I was a kid.

Morgan: Seriously? I thought you grew up in a small town.

JJ: Yeah... surrounded by woods.

---

Reid: Did you guys hear that Elle was cleared?

Morgan: Self-defense.

Reid: So it was a good shoot?

JJ: Well, she hit what she was aiming for.

Reid: That's not what I meant.

JJ: I know.

---

Gideon: Why'd you hurt those kids?

Jeffrey: Because I wanted to.

---

Morgan: [about Elle] She almost died. I'd be drinking, too.

---

Morgan: [while in Finnegan's house looking at hunting trophies] When this is all said and done, I'd like to hang his head on my wall.

---

Morgan: [after Morgan and Reid learn the story JJ told them wasn't true] JJ, that was pretty good. Just know that paybacks are a bitch.

JJ: I'm shakin'.

---

Morgan: Yeah Reid, why are you still afraid of the dark?

Reid: Because of the inherent absence of light!

---

Gideon: Unopened bowls of creamed spinach thrown into the trash, each one wrapped with duct tape.

Reid: One with each tray.

Morgan: So we're looking for a guy who really, really, hates spinach.

Reid: Who doesn't?

---

Elle: I really wanted to be a part of the team.

Hotchner: You were.

Elle: But when I needed the team, I was all alone. I was alone in the one place that I have the right to feel safe, and that's my home.

---

Elle: You know, when I first joined the team, I couldn't figure out why you never, ever smile. Now I think I'm actually gonna miss that.

Hotchner: [after Elle has walked away] I'm gonna miss you too.

---

Hotchner: Plato wrote "We can easily forgive a child who is afraid of the dark; the real tragedy of life is when men are afraid of the light."

North Mammon [2.7]

JJ: Legendary basketball coach John Wooden said: "It's not so important who starts the game, but who finishes it."

---

Chief Yates: Listen, these people...they're my friends. They're my neighbors, good people. I don't want anybody assuming that they're involved.

Hotchner: We just got here. We're not assuming anything.

---

Hotchner: I thought everybody wanted to become a profiler.

JJ: Sorry.

---

Garcia: He who seeks the "Queen of All Knowledge," speak and be recognized.

Reid: Garcia, we're sending you some cigarettes.

Garcia: Why not a flesh-eating virus? It'll be faster and far less painful.

---

Reid: We need some butts rushed to the lab for DNA analysis.

Garcia: Reid... I love it when you say 'butts.'

---

JJ: "The ultimate choice for a man, in as much as he is driven to transcend himself, is to create or to destroy, to love or to hate." Erich Fromm

Empty Planet [2.8]

Gideon: Robespierre wrote "Crime butchers innocence to secure a prize, and innocence struggles with all its might against the attempts of crime."

---

Garcia: Je suis toujours ici pour toi, mon cher.

Morgan: Drives me crazy when you talk that "voulez coucher" stuff to me. [teasing] Stop it.

---

Gideon:(to Morgan) Ever talked to someone who wants to continually show you he's smarter than you?

Morgan:(motions to Reid) Every day.

---

JJ: [while playing gin] Oh I'm beating you, genius.

Reid: Genius Doctor Reid let you win.

---

Ursula Kent: [reading the bomber's manifesto] Aside from the sections of my novel that were blatantly plagiarized, I didn't recognize anything. It's just page after page of the ravings of a lunatic.

---

Morgan: Hey dollface, ready to work some magic for me?

Garcia: Challenge me, you beautiful behavioral analyst.

---

Reid: [Referring to the bomber's phone call warning of an attack "where it all began"] So Seattle's "where it all began."

Morgan: We just need to figure out what "it" is, and off the top of my head I can think of grunge music and overpriced coffee.

---

Dr. Cooke: A cognitive scientist at MIT once said, "Coincidences seem to be the source for some of our greatest irrationalities."

Reid: Our minds see coincidences and seek out-

Gideon: I understood him.

---

Reid: I need to stop by a bookstore and pick up a copy of Empty Planet. I'd like to reread it before we talk to the author... I haven't read it since I was six.

Morgan: Six? I was still riding my Big Wheeler at six years old.

Reid: Do you mind? It will only take ten minutes.

Gideon: To buy it or to read it?

Reid: Uh... both, actually.

---

Garcia:...A guy went crazy on a bunch of computers at a science lab, screaming, "We will soon be the slaves and the machines will be the masters."

Garcia: [Looking around at her many computers] Yikes. That would totally suck for me. [Whisper] I'm surrounded in here.

Morgan: Come on, what are you worried about? You've got me to protect you.

Garcia: Hah! Now that gets my blood up.

Hotchner: Elbert Hubbard once wrote "If men could only know each other, they would never either idolize or hate."

Gideon: Dale Turner mused "Some of the best lessons are learned from past mistakes. The error of the past is the wisdom of the future."

---

Reid: Yet the words 'holy' and 'war' never appear together in the Qu'ran.

---

Gideon: We receive comfort from our prayers.

Jind Allah: We?

Gideon: Human beings. [pause] I say something wrong?

Jind Allah: You placed us on the same level.

Gideon: Aren't we?

Jind Allah: Well, here, I am thought of as less than human.

Gideon: And in your jihad, I am.

---

Jind Allah: Who is your worst enemy, Agent Gideon?

Gideon: It's not a who, it's a what. Ignorance.

---

Agent Bingaman: Two weeks ago, word got out that one of the other detainees was spilling secrets. Jind Allah managed to have a three-minute conversation with him in the shower line. That night, the other detainee committed suicide.

---

Garcia: Dream on, JJ. No one wants the other kids peeing in their sandbox.

---

Gideon: Ralph Waldo Emerson said "In order to learn the important lessons in life, one must, each day, surmount a fear."

Sex, Birth, Death [2.11]

Reid: T.S. Eliot wrote "Between the idea and the reality, between the motion and the act, falls the shadow."

---

Gideon: This last victim definitely had a message. You don't dump a body across from the Capitol Building by accident.

---

Reid: I know what it's like to be afraid of your own mind.

---

Reid: There's nothing in the juvenile records.

Garcia: Okay, so think like a high school student.

Reid: I was 12 and hadn't gone though puberty yet when I was in high school.

Garcia: Okay, reset. I'll think like a high school student, you think like a profiler.

---

Reid: You're not him. Who we are is constantly evolving. I'm a lot older than you and I'm changing. This job changes me... you changed me.

---

Reid: [Regarding saving Nathan's life] How many people's lives did I risk in the future?

Gideon: Profiles can be wrong.

Reid: What if it's not? What if next time he kills somebody?

Gideon: Then you catch him.

---

Reid: T.S. Eliot wrote "Between the desire and the spasm, between the potency and the existence, between the essence and the descent, falls the shadow. This is the way the world ends."

Profiler Profiled [2.12]

Morgan: All secrets are deep. All secrets become dark. That's in the nature of secrets — writer Cory Doctorow.

---

JJ: Nothing's happening.

Reid: Shhh watch [the rocket launches, JJ and Garcia scream, and it hits Emily in the head]

Emily: Ooh ow, what was that?

Reid: Oh, I am so sorry Emily!

Garcia: Don't you recognize a rocket when you see one?

Reid: I was merely demonstrating a physics law. I didn't mean to..

Emily: Oh show me!

Reid: Turn around.

Emily: Turn around?

JJ: Yeah, he's not gonna show you how it's done.

Reid: A magician never reveals his secrets.

Emily: I thought you said this was physics?

Reid: Physics...magic !

Garcia:Trust me, it will do you no good to argue with him.

---

Hotchner: Physics magic?

Reid: Yes, sir.

Hotchner: Reid, we talked about this.

Reid: I'm sorry, sir.

Hotchner: [smiling] You're really starting to get some distance on these things.

Emily:So he does have a sense of humor?

---

Hotchner: We can't have people on this team who have secrets.

Gideon: oh come on, Hotch, we all have secrets. Would you want us profiling you?

---

Reid: "One begins to twist facts to suit theories, instead of theories to suit facts." It's one of Sherlock Holmes' favorite quotes.

---

Det. Gordinski: Did you get any sleep?

Morgan: You know I didn't.

Det. Gordinski: I slept like a baby myself. Didn't want to get out of bed.

Morgan: Really? So that wasn't your donut-eatin' ass on the other side of the glass all night then?

---

JJ: [to Garcia, regarding Morgan's sealed criminal record] Unseal it.

Garcia: [in a somewhat desperate voice] But its a SEALED file.

JJ: Garcia, helping him.

Garcia: Right. HELPING him. HELPING him...

---

Morgan:[to Det. Gordinski] The FBI invented these tricks you simple bastard!!

---

Carl Buford: [to Morgan] I never hurt you. You could have said no.

---

Morgan: I KNEW I should've told somebody about you when I was a kid! God, I was so afraid of you. I was afraid of the cops, what people would say. I was afraid of losing everything I was gaining.

---

Morgan: One kid steps up and breaks the dam, just one, and then another one, and another one, because they're not afraid of you anymore.

---

Morgan: I'm the KIND that has to spend the rest of this life making sure guys like YOU go down!

---

Morgan: The only body I'd seen before that was my father, and I was 10.

---

Morgan: I felt responsible for him, I mean I was the one who found him, right?

---

Morgan: And you feel like you have to do everything you can for him because hes the closest thing you have to a father.

---

Morgan: [looking outside the oneway mirror] I can wait as long as you guys can!

No Way Out [2.13]

Gideon: Aristotle said, "Evil brings men together."

---

Hotchner: [introducing the team to the sheriff] Aaron Hotchner. This is Derek Morgan and the guy who sometimes forgets his manners is Jason Gideon.

---

Garcia: What are you doing?

JJ: I'm mapping out where all the victims were found, starting with Gideon's first case file.

[JJ jabs a pushpin to the map]

Garcia: Ow! Stabby!

---

Frank: [to Derek] If I had your looks, do you know how much easier my life would be?

---

Frank: Jason... from Greek mythology... to heal. Gideon... a hero from the Old Testament who led the Israelites against the Midianites. Your parents had great ambitions for you. I'm Frank… Germanic… third century. Derived from the name of a type of spear. I wonder what aspirations my parents had for me.

---

Mark Davis: But that man... he also killed the school bus driver.

Sheriff Georgia Davis: How? We had the whole town shut down. There was no way out.

---

Frank: [to Gideon and Morgan] But you know what's an even more interesting question? What the psychopath's got in the bag, Jason.

---

Frank: [to Morgan] Beauty can cover a multitude of sins, but underneath we all look exactly the same.

---

Frank: Do you think me insane?

Gideon: Do not play me. You know exactly what you are. A psychopathic sexual sadist. You get off on the brutal torture of others.

Morgan: And you knew the moment we arrived in this town, you had no way out.

---

Prentiss: All of these killings… the work of just one man?

Gideon: Most prolific serial killer ever.

---

Frank: My hope is that one day you'll feel the way I do too.

Gideon: If I ever find myself feeling the way you do, I'll kill myself.

Frank: Call me first. I'd love to pick your brains.

---

Prentiss: These wind chimes are made of bone. I think it's human rib bones.

---

Sheriff Georgia Davis: [discussing Jane's story of captivity] What about the fact that she could see herself?

Gideon: A mirrored ceiling.

Sheriff Georgia Davis: So his victims could see themselves being dismembered. … Every time I think it can't get any worse, it does.

---

Gideon: [to Frank] I thought I'd seen the very worst of what humanity had to offer, 'til you.

---

Reid: A psycho with a whistle. That's not too weird.

---

Garcia: [looking at photos of convicts with prison tattoos] Oh, this is SO not a way to a girl's heart!

---

Gideon: Did you kill the children, too?

Frank: You've been profiling me for a long time, Jason. You know that I don't kill kids. It does nothing for me.

The Big Game [2.14]

Gideon: Condemned murderer Perry Smith said of his victims, the Clutter family "I didn't have anything against them and they never did anything wrong to me, the way other people have all my life. Maybe they're just the ones who have to pay for it."

---

Prentiss: [watching Morgan dance between two women] Hey, Morgan, be careful. The one in the back could steal your wallet!

Morgan: That's all right; I'll be a broke, happy man!

---

Reid: Referring to oneself in the third person is common for an unsub. Ted Bundy gave detailed accounts of the murders, but he never admitted doing them, he'd just say, "the killer."

---

Tobias: This is a warning, not a show. What's wrong with you people?

---

Morgan: The unsubs are right about one thing. The world is pretty screwed up.

---

Reid: You seem unhappy.

Gideon: I am unhappy. I'm tired of people using religion... to justify the terrible things they do.

---

Reid: You can't scream with your throat cut.

---

Reid: May we come in?

Tobias: I´m sorry. I don´t let anyone in the house.

Reid: Actually, I really have to, you know, go.

JJ: You do?

Reid: Yeah, for thirty minutes.

JJ: Why didn´t you say something in the car?

Revelations [2.15]

Hotchner: There is not a righteous man on earth who does what is right and never sins. Ecclesiastes 7:20

---

Reid: If you tell me where we are, I can tell my friends, and they'll save us.

Tobias: We can't be saved.

---

JJ: [about Reid being kidnapped] I keep thinking the one thing we need to crack this case is, well, Reid.

---

Hotchner: Think of this house as a witness. If it could talk, what would it tell us?

Garcia: My guess is, it would tell us to get the hell out.

---

Tobias: They're gone.

Reid: Who are they?

Tobias: It's just me now.

Reid: Who, who are you?

Tobias: I'm Raphael.

---

Reid: You don't have to do this.

Tobias:[as Raphael] I'm just an instrument of God.

---

Morgan: [Regarding Hankle brutally torturing Reid] I'm gonna put this guy's head on a stick.

---

Reid: The Lord spake unto Moses saying 'speak unto all of the congregation of The Children of the Lord and say unto them, you shall be holy for I the Lord your God am holy.'

Tobias: You know Leviticus?

Reid: Every word of the Bible. I can recite it.

Tobias: The Devil knows how to read too.

Reid: I'm not a Devil. I'm not a Devil, I'm a man, my name is Spencer Reid. I have a mother and I have a father just like you and they taught me the Bible. Let me, let me just recite the Bible.

Tobias: It's time to confess, Spencer Reid [whips Reid's foot repeatedly]

---

Hotchner: [desperately] We're not getting any closer.

Gideon: Reid's brilliant. He'll figure out a way to survive.

Hotchner: You know I always take advantage of Reid for his brain, but I never actually teach him how to deal with things emotionally.

Gideon: You lead by example.

Hotchner: What kind of example is that?

Gideon: [softly] He'll make it.

---

Tobias: [after Reid shot him, regarding his second personality] You killed him.

Reid: [sorrowfully] Tobias.

Tobias: I get to see my mom again.

Reid: I'm sorry.

---

Hotch: [gently] Reid, you alright?

Reid: [while hugging Hotch] I knew you'd understand. [Reid turns and hugs JJ]

JJ: I am so sorry.

Reid: It's alright, it wasn't your fault.

Fear and Loathing [2.16]

Gideon: "From the deepest desires often come the deadliest hate." Socrates

---

Mayor Hughes: What do you think is gonna happen if I go to the press and tell them the killer is black?

Morgan: Hey, the best way to stop all this is to find the killer. We just gave you a way to do that.

Mayor Hughes: By telling everybody to look for an anonymous black man? They're gonna say that's racial profiling.

Gideon: It's not racial profiling. Racial profiling is targeting suspects because of their race. We gave you a complete profile which, includes race.

Mayor Hughes: Look, the point is I-I've never even heard of a black serial killer and neither will the African-Americans in this community already upset by what's been happening here.

Hotchner: You can believe in black serial killers or not but the fact is, they do exist and it's only a matter of time before he kills another girl.

---

Morgan: [to Reid] You all right?

[Reid doesn’t move.]

Morgan: Reid.

Reid: Hmm?

Morgan: I said, are you all right?

Reid: I'm fine. [glances behind him] Thanks for broadcasting it.

Morgan: Hey, talk to me. Whatever you say to me in confidence is between us, you know that right?

Reid: I don't have anything to tell you.

Morgan: Reid, listen to me. What you went through out there nobody expects you to re- [Reid interrupts]

Reid: I can still do my job alright? I'm not gonna freak out.

Morgan: You think I don't know that?

Reid: Its the crime scene photos.

Morgan: Crime scene photos?

Reid: The dead girls in the leaves.

Morgan: Reid, we've seen worse.

Reid: I know, I know we've seen worse but for the first time I know, I look at them and, I look at them and I know what they were thinking what they were feeling like right before...

Morgan: [Morgan nods] It's called empathy... and that's a good thing.

Reid: [Reid appears troubled] It's not, I mean it's got me all messed it. I don't know how to focus. I can't do my job as well. [Reid pauses] So, what do I do?

Morgan: You use it. Let it make you a better profiler, a better person.

Reid: [Reid seems relieved] Better person.

Reid: “The life of the dead is placed in the memory of the living." Cicero

Distress [2.17]

Gideon: "Our life is made by the death of others." Leonardo da Vinci

---

Garcia: Are you lonely in the Lone Star state? And are you wearing chaps?

Morgan: Only in your dreams, Garcia

Garcia: Oh, not necessarily. I have Photoshop.

---

Morgan: Garcia, I had better never find any Photoshopped pictures of me on your computer.

Garcia: Oh trust me my vision, you will never FIND them.

---

JJ: How do we find a man who's trapped inside his head?

---

Hotchner: "If there must be trouble, let it be in my day, that my child may have peace." Thomas Paine

---

Hotchner: He's reliving the worst moment of his life, he's got to be terrified.

Reid: Yeah.

---

Hotchner: [construction work in the background] What's that?

JJ: [with mouth full] One of the detectives' wives made us cookies.

Emily: Wow, homemade cookies!?

JJ: Yeah I guess that's what they mean by 'southern hospitality'.

Reid: What are you saying?

Emily: 'Southern Hospitality'.

Reid: [runs over to window and shuts it] How can anyone hear with all this work going on?

Jones [2.18]

Gideon: Robert Kennedy once said "Tragedy is a tool for the living to gain wisdom, not a guide by which to live."

---

Garcia: What was the thing that Jack the Ripper took from one of his victims, besides, well, you know, her life?

Emily: Oh, uh...

Garcia: Mmm. Tick, tock, tick, tock.

Emily: I don't know.

Garcia: A kidney. How horrifyingly fantastic is that?

Emily: Mmhmm, and are you going anywhere with this?

Garcia: Just that I found an unsolved murder that happened four months ago in Galveston, Texas, with the same MO - the victim missing that very organ. I amaze myself.

Emily: Yeah, me too. Great work.

---

Ethan: My music makes me happy. It doesn't take a profiler to see that you're not.

Reid: It's not easy. And it's not - I ... don't think you'd believe some of the things that I've seen.

Ethan: John Coltrane. He was a genius too. Died of cancer. But most people think it was the booze and the heroin that did him in.

Reid: What are you trying to say?

Ethan: You look like hell.

Reid: I'm fine...

Ethan: Come on man, I'm a jazz musician in New Orleans, I know what it looks like when someone's not well. It's maybe the one time I can tell you something you don't already know. [points at Reid's drink] It may make you forget, but it won't make it go away. And if I can tell... You're surrounded by some of the best minds in the world. If you think they don't notice, well... For a genius, that's just dumb.

---

JJ: You're the best ever.

Garcia: Awww... And you're the most perceptive!

---

Reid: I missed that plane on purpose.

Gideon: I know.

Reid: I'm struggling.

Gideon: Well... anybody who's been through what you've been through recently... would.

Reid: This is all I was groomed for. I never even ... I never even considered another option.

Gideon: Now you're questioning whether or not you're strong enough to be here?

Reid: Yeah.

Gideon: I have been playing at this job in one way or another for almost 30 years. I've felt lost. I've felt great. I have felt scared, sick, and insane. I don't know, I guess the day this job stops gnawing at your soul... and your hands, your hands stop feeling cold, maybe that's the time to leave.

Reid: I guess I just needed to figure out if I could step away from this job.

Gideon: And?

Reid: I'll never miss another plane again.

Ashes to Dust [2.19]

Hotchner: "The torture of a bad conscience is the hell of a living soul," John Calvin.

---

Garcia: Brace yourselves. I'm going to teach you the meaning of L.U.S.T.

Gideon: Did she say lust?

Garcia: I cross-referenced every known fact on the victims and I just found a website that links both Dennis Cutler and Mathew Jarvis' companies on a list of businesses guilty of L.U.S.T.

Hotchner: I'm missing something.

Garcia: Leaking Underground Storage Tanks.

---

Gideon: When he arrives, bring the fake bodies right past us nice and slow. I want him to get a good look.

Lt. Vega: Remind me never to play poker with you guys.

---

Det. Castro: A genius you said?

JJ: Yeah, uh, his coordination drops off when he’s thinking.

---

Prentiss: All those people, no booze or music. That's either a very lame going away party, or an EDF meeting.

---

Hotchner: I catch killers. I save lives. I'm a hero until my key hits my front door and then I'm just the father and the husband who's never there.

Gideon: Yeah I got that one.

Hotchner: Here's the thing. When I'm home, I'm in this silent panic because I know that I have to be as good as I can, as fast as I can because any minute the phone is gonna ring and my time is up.

---

Hotchner: Gandhi said "Live as if you were to die tomorrow, learn as if you were to live forever."

Arseny Lysowsky: [to Gideon and Reid] Would you like something to eat? This borscht is exquisite, it is my mother’s old country recipe.

Reid: Didn’t you forsake all your relatives when you swore the Thieves' Code?

Arseny Lysowsky: I didn’t forsake her recipes.

---

Ambassador Elizabeth Prentiss: How are you enjoying your assignment to the BAU?

Prentiss: Well, enjoying is an odd description.

Ambassador Elizabeth Prentiss: Is it?

Prentiss: We deal with some pretty horrible things.

Ambassador Elizabeth Prentiss: I thought that was where you wanted to be.

Prentiss: It is.

Ambassador Elizabeth Prentiss: Then you do enjoy it.

---

Anton Gorban: I mind my own business.

Gideon: You've been watching us since we got here.

---

Garcia: [regarding Lysowsky] He served 23 years in four remote prisons at Perm, that is a remote region of the Northern Ural Mountains, for those of you playing the home game.

---

Morgan: How could I have not seen this?

Reid: How could any of us, man?

---

Reid: They didn't wait?

Gideon: They cut off his ear. They increased the ransom and left a note.

Reid: How much money do they think they have?

---

SSA Josh Kramer: [to Gideon regarding the lack of statement from the victims] Cause we're dealing with criminals.

Reid: Obviously.

SSA Josh Kramer: Not just the kidnappers, genius.

JJ: Really? No way!

Garcia: That's exciting! What's it like at Quan-ti-co?

---

JJ: Must be tough keeping all those secrets.

Brad: It’s a skill, like anything else. Carpenters are good at building stuff, measuring. The FBI’s good at keeping secrets and kicking criminal ass.

---

Prentiss: Can we see it?

Brad: See what?

Prentiss: Your badge.

Garcia: Please?

Brad: I'm sorry, that's classified.

Prentiss: [she holds up her badge] Tell me Brad, does it look anything like this?

JJ: [hold up hers] Or this?

Garcia: [holds up hers] Or maybe, this?

[Brad hurries away]

Morgan: Ya think?

Emily: Yeah, you make the people around you feel good.

---

Hotchner: You have Chaplin on film?

Gideon: My great-granddad was an accountant at one of the first movie studios.

Hotchner: He was in California?

Gideon: No no no, Chicago. Essanay Studios closed, 1920. Back then four out of five movies made in the U.S. were made in Chicago. They closed down, they let my grandpa take, ehh, a couple of extra prints home.

Hotchner: [amused] They let him?

Gideon: [laughing] Well, that’s the family story... we’re sticking to it.

---

Reid: You see, the word "coincidence" implies more...

Morgan: Hey! Hey, kid. We do not need a vocabulary lesson right now.

Reid: Right. Sorry.

Morgan: What did you guys get?

Hotch: Well, Reid got propositions from every prostitute we talked to, but we didn't find anybody who thinks they've seen the unsub.

Reid: Crystal clear!

---

Erin Strauss: I believe you're no longer effective in your post.

Hotchner: Modern furniture...strategically placed magazines, the framed diplomas, the art in the wall...they're all in conflict with your family photos. You have three children but you favor the middle one, your son.

Erin Strauss: What do you think you're doing?

Hotchner: Of course, you love all your children but not like your son

Erin Strauss:That's enough!

Hotchner: The bonsai you obsessively nurture is to compensate for feelings of failure as a mother...

Erin Strauss:Agent Hotchner I said that's enough!! My position is not in question here. As your superior, I am questioning your ability to lead your team...

Hotchner: My team? Let me tell you about my team: Agent Morgan fought to protect his identity from the very people who could save him. Why? Because trust has to be earned, and there are very few people he truly trusts. Reid's intellect is a shield which protects him from his emotions, and at the moment his shield is under repair. Prentiss over-compensates because she doesn't yet feel she's a part of the team; she needn't worry. Everyday Agent Jareau fields dozens of requests for our team, and every night she goes home hoping she has made the right choices. Garcia fills her office with figurines and color, to remind herself to smile as the horror fills her screens... And Agent Gideon in many ways is damned by his profound knowledge of others, which is why he shares so little of himself, yet he pours his heart into every case we handle. I stand by my actions, and I stand by my team, and if you think that you can find a better person for the job, then good luck.

---

Hotch: Frank.

Frank: Agent Hotchner. We haven't had the pleasure of a formal meeting.

Season 3

Doubt [3.1]

Gideon: Spree killings in a confined area are a race. He's racing to kill as many as he can; we're racing to stop him.

---

Gideon: How long can you hold that lawyer off?

Hotch: Are you kidding? I was a prosecutor; I can hold him off for days.

---

Prentiss: (about Nathan Tubbs) I'll sleep when he confesses.

JJ: We all will.

---

Morgan: I know how bad cops wanna believe they got the right guy. I've been on both sides of that.

---

Section Chief Strauss: You’re suspended for two weeks without pay pending an investigation of your conduct. And, Agent Hotchner, if it was solely up to me? You would never get these credentials back.

Hotch: Always a pleasure.

In Birth and Death [3.2]

Morgan: What if we don’t want a new Unit Chief?

Hotchner: Well maybe the next one won’t be such a drill sergeant.

Morgan: Look, man, are you a pain in my ass? Yes, sir! But wantin' to hang out with you, and needin' you to lead this team are two very different things.

---

Section Chief Erin Strauss: None of you will ever move up the chain of command, you know that.

Hotchner: Why would I ever want to leave the BAU?

---

Morgan: Garcia, baby girl, please tell me something I want to hear.

Garcia: You are a statuesque god of sculpted chocolate thunder.

Morgan: How about something I don't already know?

Garcia: (after an intentional pause) I have a sweet tooth.

---

Garcia: [answering phone] Talk dirty to me.

Section Chief Erin Strauss: This is Section Chief Erin Strauss.

Garcia: [horrified and red-faced] Ma'am, I think it goes without saying that I was expecting it to be someone else.

Garcia: [answering phone later] FBI Technical Analyst Penelope Garcia speaking.

---

Haley Hotchner: Aaron, stop! Don’t make me the monster here. I feel sick about these women, but when this case is over there will be another one, and another one, and another one. It is never going to stop.

Hotchner: This is who I am.

Haley Hotchner: No. This is what you do.

Hotchner: I’m trying to do the right thing – here and there – and I would really appreciate a little support.

Haley Hotchner: Oh, that’s right, because you always need to be the hero.

Hotchner: Don’t give me that.

Haley Hotchner: No, obviously a happy life isn’t enough for you.

---

Hotchner: George Washington said, "Let your heart feel for the affliction and distress of everyone."

---

Gideon: I guess I’m just looking for it again – for the belief I had back in college, the belief I had when I first met Sarah and it all seemed so right. The belief in happy endings.

Scared to Death [3.3]

Hotchner: The Taoist philosopher Lao-tze once wrote, "he who controls others may be powerful, but he who has mastered himself is mightier still."

Prentiss: You got stuck in an elevator?

Morgan: I freaked?

Reid: That’s not important.

---

Dr. Stan Howard: (to Hotchner) I think your greatest fear is that you can't save everyone. It is worse than I thought.

---

Prentiss: These guys are killing the Cleavers.

Reid: Strange.

Hotch: The pattern?

Reid: No, the Cleavers. Of all the names for a 1950s idyllic TV family. I mean it’s rife with violent implication. Kind of makes you wonder how the writers really felt about suburbia, huh?

Hotch: Focus, please!

---

Morgan: Hey girl you're on speaker. Behave.

Garcia: Or what, you'll spank me?

Seven Seconds [3.5]

Hotchner: Dostoyevsky once said, “Nothing is easier than denouncing the evildoer. Nothing more difficult than understanding him.”

---

Morgan: [examining camera surveillance footage' Well, can't you get a better angle?

Garcia: Sugar, I'm not London here; I can only work with what they have. And, believe me when I tell you, the 1980s just called. They want their security system back.

---

Officer: Thing is, there's still a man out there who hasn't been caught.

Hotch: I know. And there always will be. But today we made a difference.

---

Hotchner: G.K. Chesterton wrote: "Fairy tales do not tell children that dragons exist. Children already know that dragons exist. Fairy tales tell children that dragons can be killed."

Rossi: She's different.

Hotchner: You have no idea.

---

Rossi: Is this the technical analyst girl?

Identity [3.7]

Rossi: "An earthly kingdom cannot exist without inequality of persons. Some must be free, some serfs, some rulers, some subjects." Martin Luther.

---

Emily: (teasing Reid about coloring in a map) You know I could have gotten you a coloring book at the airport.

Reid: I'm creating a topographical map weighing down and geocoding all key locations looking for algorithms.

Emily: (nods, confused) Yeah, thats exactly what I thought you were doing.

---

Garcia: [reviewing Goehring's records] He also appears in a federal database for - get this - aggressive militia groups.

JJ: Aggressive militia groups. Is there any other type?

Garcia: Uh hmm. That's your federal government at work. We specialize in redundancy.

---

Trailer Park Manager: What the hell do you want? Can't you read?

Reid: I'm not a salesman. I'm with the FBI.

Trailer Park Manager: FBI? You're not serious! You look like a pipe cleaner with eyes. I could snap you like a twig.

Rossi: But then... [steps into frame and flashes credentials] ...he isn't alone.

---

Reid: A popular theory among leading astrophysicists estimate that the hyper-matter reactor would need about 10 to the 32nd joules of energy to destroy a planet the size of Earth. Now, Lucas said it took 19 years to build the first Death Star, right, but if you look at the new essential chronology there’s a test bed prototype for a super laser that’s been… Where you going?

Morgan: Taking back the last five minutes of my life.

Lucky [3.8]

Morgan: “Fantasy abandoned by reason produces impossible monsters.” - Francisco Goya

Stranger: James. James Baylor. My friends call me Colby.

García: Penelope. García. My friends call me Wonderful.

---

Morgan: [to García] Good morning, princess.

García: Good morning.

Morgan: Hold your brakes. [Motion to García to aproach him] Everyday I say 'Good Morning'. Everyday you say 'I'll show you a 'Good Morning' hot stuff' Everyday. Not today?.

García: I hate profilers. You know that?

Morgan: Spit it out.

García: Well, I met a guy...

Morgan: You did what? Where?

García: Coffee Shop. Smoking hot. I fixed his computer and then he asked for my number.

Morgan: And you just...?

García: Gave it to him. Can you believe that? A complete stranger. Did I mention he was smoking hot?

Morgan: Uh, yeah, yeah. I think you did.

---

Morgan: My mother took us to church every Sunday until I moved out. This whole devil thing doesn't spook me at all.

Reid: Maybe that's because you never truly bought the God part either.

Morgan: No offense kid but you don't know what I believe.

Reid: Well, I mean, logic dictates that if you believe in the one you have to reconcile the existence of the other.

Hotchner: People's reactions to Satan is what gives it appeal to these offenders. It has power and it would be a mistake to underestimate it.

---

Emily: Hey, whats going on with you and Morgan?

Garcia: I told him about this guy I met at the coffee shop...

Emily: Oh.

Emily: When a woman tells a man about her feelings, she doesn't want him to fix her, she wants him to shut up and listen.

Penelope [3.9]

Garcia: William Shakespeare wrote, "Love all, trust a few, do wrong to none."

---

JJ: She's in surgery, there's no word.

Reid: This is crazy.

---

Emily: Where's Morgan?

JJ: He's not answering his cell.

Reid: I'll call him again.

---

JJ: [Morgan walks in] She's been in surgery a couple hours.

Morgan: I was in church; my phone was off.

Reid: There's nothing you could have been doing here.

---

Hotch: [considering if the killer shot Garcia just to steal her purse.] Why does he risk coming into an enclosed courtyard?

Rossi: World's boldest purse-snatching?

---

Morgan: [Referring to Garcia] I asked her to go out last night but she was pissed at me; she blew me off.

Reid: So you ended up at church?

Morgan: Yeah, what does it mean? On one hand if she had gone out with me she would have never got shot. On the other hand, what are the odds the first time I pray in 20 years she's on the table?

---

Garcia: [To Reid and Morgan] When I was in the ambulance I could hear the song "Heroes" playing in my head. I kept flashing in and out of consciousness and I remember thinking, "Wait. Is David Bowie really God?"

---

Garcia: Have fun getting out the wormhole.

---

Garcia: Go. Be free, my love.

Morgan: Hey, I'm not going anywhere.

Garcia: Oh, I'm fine. I got my goon squad parked out front.

Morgan: Goon squad or not goon squad, that couch right there is going to be my best friend until we catch this guy. Now leave it alone.

Garcia: Okay... But if you're thinking of trying to take advantage of me, let me call my doctor so you can revive me afterwards. [They both laugh]

Morgan: Hey, Silly Girl.

Garcia: Hmm?

Morgan: I love you, you know that, right?

Garcia: I love you, too.

---

Emily: [To Garcia] Oh, don't worry about your reenstatement papers: he'll sign them as soon as his hands stop shaking.

---

Morgan: [Handing Garcia a gun] Take this and stay put.

Garcia: No no no, I don't believe in guns!

Morgan: Well trust me they're very real. Now take it.

True Night [3.10]

Garcia: Honey, I know you love me, but the prospect of you whirling around here trying to fix this is actually more frightening than getting shot.

---

Reid: "Superman is, after all, an alien life form. He is simply the acceptable face of invading realities." Author Clive Barker.

---

Reid: You should have listened to me.

Morgan: It wouldn't have saved that much time, Reid. Let it go.

Reid: The interchange between to 405 and 101 freeways is consistently rated the worst interchange in the entire world.

Morgan: Why do you know that?

Reid: It's in the government report.

Morgan: So what?

Reid: So, you work for the government. You don't read the reports?

Morgan: On traffic patterns in a city twenty-five hundred miles away from where I live?

Reid: Twenty-two hundred and ninety-five miles.

Morgan: Do not make me smack you in front of all these people.

---

Reid: Sometimes for an artist, the only difference between insanity and genius is success.

---

Morgan: [on the phone with Garcia] Just leave it alone until I get there. Hey, hey, hardhead. Don't make me spank you when I get back.

Reid: Don't listen to him Garcia, he's all talk. [Morgan smacks Reid's head] Ow! JJ, he just hit me!

JJ: [not looking up] Boys, behave or I will ground you both.

---

Garcia: Do you know who Frank Miller is?

Morgan: Frank Miller... Sounds familiar. Un-sub?

Garcia: [laughs] No, graphic novelist. 300? Sin City?

Morgan: Oh, right, right, right. Cool movies.

Garcia: He said something once and it makes me think of you. "The noir hero is a knight in blood caked armor. He's dirty and he does his best to deny the fact that he's a hero the whole time."

Birthright [3.11]

Hotch: The American poet Anne Sexton once wrote "It doesn't matter who my father was; it matters who I remember he was."

---

Hotch: You ok?

JJ: You stop caring, you're jaded. If you care too much, it'll ruin you.

Hotch: Just know that you did everything you could. Sometimes we get it right with a little luck and most of the times we don't. That's the job. It's never perfect. It's still better to care.

JJ: You really believe that?

Hotch: I believe it's never perfect.

---

JJ: Wordsworth wrote, "A simple child. That lightly draws its breath. And feels its life in every limb. What should it know of death?"

---

Mr Vaughan: Um... Can I help you?

Reid: Um... hey... um... I was just, uh, checking to see if Lindsey had contacted anyone- P-predators tend to do that.

Reid: Yeah, um, statistically, uh, forty three percent of predators-

Mr Vaughan: Lindsey doesn't like computers.

Reid: Oh. (pause) Cool.

Garcia: There is really no acceptable excuse for violence, but for you I am making an exception. [opens the front door] Oh my God, Agent Rossi!

---

Garcia: I might be in big trouble.

JJ: (looking at her files, sarcastically) Come on in.

Garcia: I can't believe he showed up at my apartment.

JJ: It's not like I'm doing anything here...

Garcia: We just had a seminar on fraternization last week!

JJ: I really have a lot of work to do, Garcia...

Garcia: So you don't want to hear how Agent Rossi showed up at my door in the middle of the night while I was enjoying a post-coital shower with fellow FBI technical analyst Kevin Lynch?

JJ: (head snaps up) Sit.

---

Kevin: Agent Rossi we need to talk....about Penelope......man-to-man.

Rossi: Man-to-man?

Morgan: What about Penelope?

JJ: [in a sing-song voice] Garcia and Kevin sitting in a tree... [walks away]

Morgan: Get out of here... you serious? [walks away]

Prentiss: Just when I thought that nothing scandalous was ever going to happen around here.

Reid: What? What does that mean?

Prentiss: Didn't you hear JJ?

Reid: The song meant something? No. No, I missed it!

Prentiss: It... it... it... You know what? Never mind.

Reid: I only have ten months.

John: I know.

Reid: It's your most prized possession.

John: It is.

Reid: You're just giving it to me?

John: No... In a couple a months, when you get your year, you can give it back to me.

Reid: I really don't understand.

John: You will.

---

Reid: Sorry I'm late.

Rossi: I hope she was worth it.

Morgan: I hope it was a she.

---

Garcia: (drinking coffee) The kid's tech savvy, sir. But fret not. I am tech savvier. Is that a word? That sounds like a word. If it is a word, I'm it.

Morgan: [cutting in] This guy's a sick dude.

---

Garcia: [via phone to team] Prints belong to Deacon Rogers, Odessa, Texas. He's had a couple of minor arrests - one for marijuana possession, one for lewd behavior, which I'm guessing is code for "gay" in Texas.

Hotch: "All changes, even the most longed for, have their melancholy; for what we leave behind us is a part of ourselves; we must die to one life before we can enter another." - Anatole France

---

Reid: It's remarkable. Something like this makes you question everything you thought you knew.

Garcia: Yeah. Like the monolith in 2001.

Reid: So there was actually a time when something like this was socially acceptable?

Garcia: Oh, you're young. The eighties left a lot of people confused. This is especially sad, though.

---

Det. Jarvis: You're a little young, aren't you? No offense.

Reid: None taken. In fact neuroprocessing speeds reach their maximum at around age 15, so when it comes to being affected by crime scenes and other graphic visual input we are all really the same age.

---

Garcia: If you look to your cursor, you'll notice that it's moving on its own. That's me hacking your secure network. Now I've got her file, now I've got her social, and because you're grumpy, I'm going to send your boss those Jamaican vacation photos. Check you out, no tan lines.

---

Mr. Corbett: ... Poetry was something they shared. It's Wordsworth. "What though the radiance that was once so bright be now forever taken from thy sight, though nothing can bring back..."

Lo-Fi [3.20]

JJ: [Nodding] Of course.

---

Rossi: We think we might have a serious problem.

Hotchner: What is it?

Rossi: We have multiple unsubs. They're disciplined, they're using counter-surveillance. They know the FBI movements, there's a hierarchy. What does that usually equal?

Hotchner: Terrorism.

Mayhem [4.1]

Hotch: Never think that war, no matter how necessary, nor how justified, is not a crime. - Ernest Hemingway

Hotch: My opinion doesn't matter. The job's yours if you want it.

Hotch: My life matters to me, and I have and always will entrust you with it. Would you do the same for me?

---

Morgan: There's something I really want you to know, Garcia.

Garcia: Save it! Just get out!

Morgan: No, no, no, I'm not quite there yet.

Garcia: Morgan...

Morgan: Just listen to me.

Garcia: Morgan, please.

Morgan: You know what you are, Garcia?

Garcia: Morgan!

Garcia: Derek? [looks like she's close to crying]

Morgan: Garcia? [Garcia sighs with relief] I'll tell you what you are to me. You're my God-given solace. Woman, you promise me one thing: whatever happens, don't you ever stop talking to me...

Garcia: I can't right now 'cause I'm mad at you.

Morgan: I can wait.

Reid: No, no... I'm talking evil twin, eviler twin... just think...

JJ: No. Why, does it freak you out?

Reid: Very much so.

---

Rossi: What if he's already inside a house?

Hotch: Then we'll find more bodies in the morning.

---

Prentiss: So is there anything you want to tell us?

Morgan: Nope.

Prentiss: Your forehead's sweating.

Morgan: No, it's not.

Prentiss: Oh and he's avoiding eye contact!

Reid: His blink rate just sped up.

Morgan: Y'know what you guys, I don't feel like that burger after all.

Prentiss: You can't run from us!

Morgan: Oh, watch me!

---

Reid: [after telling about the studies he's undergone] I'm also completing an additional BA in Philosophy. Which reminds me that I have a joke.

Reid: How many existentialists does it take to screw in a light bulb?

Rossi: [whispers] Don't.

Reid:: Two. One to change the light bulb, and one to observe how it symbolizes an incandescent beacon of subjectivity in another world of cosmic nothingness.

Reid: [awkwardly] An existentialist...

Rossi: [interrupts] Okay, before he does his quantum physics knock-knock joke [the group laughs] do we have any other questions about opportunities in the FBI?

---

Rossi: You do know that we actually want them to join the Bureau?

Reid: What? Yeah.

Rossi: We want these kids to think it's a cool place to work.

Reid: I understand that...

Rossi: [referring to Reid's existentialist joke] Existentialism?

Reid: Existentialism is known as...

Female Student: Hey? Reid.

Reid: [absent-mindedly] Hi. [continues speaking to Rossi]] That was a funny joke, what do you mean?

Rossi: Yeah, to Sigmund Freud.

Reid: I tell them they shouldn't send me here and they keep sending me here, I don't know why.

Rossi: Because you're young.

Reid: "Young" or "Jung"?

Prof Rothchild: [butts in] Dr Reid, wouldn't they sit in the dark and hope that the bulb decided to light again?

Reid: Excuse me?

Prof Rothchild: An existentialist would never change the bulb, he would allow the darkness to exist.

Reid: [realizes] Yeah, that's pretty good.

---

Prof Rothchild: (upon being told that Reid has more important things to do than interview him) You have something more important than me?

---

Austin: [smiling flirtatiously] And if I don't see him?

Reid: Excuse me?

Austin: Can I still call you?

Reid: [squeakily] Yeah. Yeah, you can call me.

Eighty-nine murders at the pig farm, the deaths of Mason and Lucas Turner make 91 lives snuffed out. Kelly Shane will go home and try to recover, to reconnect with her family but she'll never be a child again. William Hightower, who gave his leg for his country, gave the rest of himself to avenge his sister's murder. That makes 93 lives forever altered, not counting family and friends in a small town in Sarnia, Ontario, who thought monsters didn't exist until they learned that they spent their lives with one. And what about my team? How many more times will they be able to look into the abyss? How many more times before they won't ever recover the pieces of themselves that this job takes? Like I said, sometimes there are no words. Sometimes, the day just... ends."

"The Slave of Duty" [5.10]

Hotchner: W. S. Gilbert wrote, "It's love that makes the world go round." And if that's true, then the world spun a little faster with Haley in it. Haley was my best friend since we were in high school. We certainty had our struggles but, if there's one thing we agreed on unconditionally, it was our love and commitment to our son Jack. Haley's love for Jack was joyous and fierce. That fierceness is why she isn't here today. A mother's love is an unrivaled force of nature and we can all learn much from the way Haley lived her life. Haley's death causes each of us to stop and take stock of our lives, to measure who we are and what we've become. I don't have all those answers for myself, but I know who Haley was. She was the woman who died protecting the child we brought into this world together, and I will make sure that Jack grows up knowing who his mother was and how she loved and protected him, and how much I loved her. If Haley were with us today she would ask us not to mourn her death, but to celebrate her life. She would tell us... she would tell us to love our families unconditionally and to hold them close because in the end they are all that matter. I met Haley at the tryouts of our high school's production of the 'Pirates of Penzance'. I found our copy of the play and I was looking through it the other night, and I came upon a passage that seemed appropriate for this moment. "Oh dry the glistening tear, that dews that marshal cheek, thy loving children hear, in them thy comfort seek, with sympathetic care, their arms around thee creep, for oh they cannot bear, to see their father weep."

---

Hotchner:"Where we love is home, home that our feet may leave, but not our hearts." Oliver Wendell Holmes

---

Prentiss: Fantasy's over. Is that what you did to them? You hit them to shut them to up and then forced them to play along with your sick delusion?

Joe: I love them.

Prentiss: You're finally gonna meet your soul mate Joe, in prison. Only you're not gonna be able to push them around the way you did those women. And when he comes over you in the middle of the night, when you're least expecting it you do me a favor, play along.

---

Rossi: I had a feeling I'd find you here. Have you told her yet?

Hotchner: Told her what?

Rossi: That you're coming back to the team, that fighting the bad guys is who you are.

Hotchner: I don't have to tell her, she already knows.

---

Hotchner: "What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us." Ralph Waldo Emerson

"The Uncanny Valley" [5.12]

Eric: We missed you out here.

Reid: Oh thank you. Thanks, I uh, I had to take a little break.

Eric: How come?

Reid: Used to play with a co-worker friend of mine, he's probably the best mind I ever went up against. One day he just, decided that he didn't want to play anymore.

Eric: So you gave up too?

Reid: Just the opposite. I attempted to play through every permutation of moves on a chess board.

Eric: That's an infinite number of games.

Reid: It's not infinite. It's just, it's exponentially large.

Eric: You couldn't have played through them all.

Reid: There's an average of forty moves per chess game and I'll tell you something. The more I play, the more I realize that every single match, every single chess game is really just a simple variation on the exact same theme, you know? Aggressive openings, patient mid-game, inevitable checkmate, and I realized when my friend quit he was tired of repeating the exact same patterns and expecting a different outcome.

Eric: So you have a life time of chess strategy in your head and you're just sitting on it?

Reid: I still use it, I just uh, I apply it differently. I have to go, it's good seeing you.

---

Reid: Mildred Lisette Norman wrote, "Anything you cannot relinquish when it has outlived its usefulness, possesses you. And in this materialistic age, a great many of us are possessed by our possessions."

---

Reid: They didn't care about race or hair color, it's men that do.

Garcia: [on webcam] Damn straight, men do.

Morgan: Well hello Red. Look at you. Guys. [moves laptop for better view of Garcia's new red hair]

Prentiss: Wow.

JJ: Wow.
