Connie Galen: Mommy!
----------
Penelope Garcia: There's usually no acceptable excuse for violence, but for you I am making an exception… Oh, my god, agent Rossi.
David Rossi: This can't be everything.
Penelope Garcia: I'm sorry, sir?
David Rossi: This is not everything.
Penelope Garcia: I was taking a show... You're coming in.
David Rossi: This is that Galen file I asked you to put together, that double homicide in Indianapolis?
Penelope Garcia: Uh, no, no, sir, you didn't ask me to put anything together. You ju--
David Rossi: There's more to this case file.
Penelope Garcia: Um... Uh, sir, can this wait till the morning?
David Rossi: And where are my notes, my original crime scene notes?
Penelope Garcia: Again, sir, you didn't ask for the specifics.
David Rossi: You just told me to look up an old case. Do I have to tell you how to look for everything? What kind of a researcher are you?
Penelope Garcia: I'm not a researcher, I'm a technical analyst.
David Rossi: What the hell does that even mean?
Kevin Lynch: You left the middle of my back totally unloofaed… SSA Rossi.
Penelope Garcia: Agent Rossi, I am aware that fraternization between bureau employees is against the rules. However--
David Rossi: It's the 20th anniversary of this crime. 20 years tomorrow 3 children woke up and found their parents murdered. Whoever did it is still out there. It's time they paid for it.
----------
Security guard: Ready?
Connie Galen: Yeah.
Security guard: How'd you do tonight? Tips good?
Connie Galen: You knew. If you have to ask questions I'd rather walk myself to my car.
Security guard: Good luck… Bitch.
Customer: Hey, you dance nice.
Connie Galen: Yeah, I could tell you liked it a whole $2.00 worth.
Customer: Yeah, I would have given you more if I had it. I ran out.
Connie Galen: Well, you should've left.
Customer: Don't I get to look all I want for the cover charge?
Connie Galen: Yeah, cover charges include the parking lot. Looking's over.
Customer: Why are you so pissed off, huh?
Connie Galen: You want to see pissed off?
Customer: Hey, whoa. Come on… I'm just gonna go back in the club, okay? Okay.
Connie Galen: What do you want? Freak.

David Rossi: "Within the core of each of us is the child we once were. This child constitutes the foundation of what we have become, who we are, and what we will be." Neuroscientist Dr. R. Joseph.
----------
Penelope Garcia: I might be in big trouble.
Jennifer Jareau: Come on in.
Penelope Garcia: I can't believe he showed up at my apartment.
Jennifer Jareau: It's not like I'm doing anything here.
Penelope Garcia: We just had a seminar on fraternization last week.
Jennifer Jareau: I really have a lot of work to do, Garcia.
Penelope 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?
Jennifer Jareau: Sit.
----------
Emily Prentiss: What the hell...
----------
Jennifer Jareau: So you were in the shower with Kevin Lynch?
Penelope Garcia: Come on, JJ, I'm being serious. I need your help.
Jennifer Jareau: With what?
Penelope Garcia: Agent Rossi. We're not supposed to date fellow bureau employees.
Jennifer Jareau: From what I hear, Rossi is the reason most of these fraternization rules even exist, okay? He's not gonna tell anyone. Just relax… Wait--What-- What was Rossi doing in your apartment?
Penelope Garcia: Well, that's a good... I'm not supposed to tell anyone.
Jennifer Jareau: Why?
Penelope Garcia: I didn't press the issue. I was all naked and all drippy.
Jennifer Jareau: Right. Doesn't showering with someone always seem like a better idea before you're actually doing it?
Penelope Garcia: Yes, it is a bit of a workout.
Jennifer Jareau: I mean, there comes a point when a girl's just gotta wash her hair alone. You know?
Huh. Well, this is turning into some morning. Mrs. Hotchner… Well, that-- That would make sense because he's in a prison right now. So sometimes cell service can be... Oh, yeah-- Well, if-- Yeah, if I can get ahold of him, I'll... Okay. That is one seriously pissed-off lady. She can't get Hotch on his cell phone.
Penelope Garcia: Why would she call you?
Jennifer Jareau: Because she knows I can do this.
----------
Aaron Hotchner: Yeah, JJ… Um, no, it's-- It's-- It's a personal matter… Yes, thank you. I will take care of it when i get back.
Spencer Reid: Is everything all right?
Aaron Hotchner: Yeah, fine.
Spencer Reid: We can do this interview another time.
Aaron Hotchner: Well, he's scheduled to be executed next week.
Spencer Reid: I can take the lead if you--
Aaron Hotchner: Reid.
Abner Merriman: Agent Hotchner?
Aaron Hotchner: Yes.
Abner Merriman: Ah. You must be Dr. Reid. Abner Merriman, assistant warden. You're here to see our infamous inmate Hardwick.
Spencer Reid: Yeah. He agreed to meet with us as part of our criminal personality research project prior to his execution.
Abner Merriman: I've read some of your studies in police journals. Serial killers are a kind of hobby of mine. Chester's the only one I've ever met in person, though. I bet you've met quite a few.
Aaron Hotchner: Sir, we'd very much like to get started as soon as we can.
Abner Merriman: Oh, of course, of course. Forgive me. Um, we, uh... We don't really have interrogation facilities, but I do have a small room that you can use. You're not armed?
Aaron Hotchner: We secured our weapons before we arrived. It's not our first time in a prison.
Abner Merriman: No, no, I suppose that's true… I have to say, when i heard that he contacted you, I was surprised.
Spencer Reid: Why?
Abner Merriman: Chester Hardwick? He doesn't really talk much. To anyone.
Aaron Hotchner: Well, that usually changes when someone's about to die.
----------
Connie Galen: No...
----------
Connie Galen: Mommy... It's morning.
Georgie Galen: Connie. Connie.
Connie Galen: No!
Georgie Galen: Connie!
----------
Georgie Galen: Connie... Chill. It's the brother. It's Georgie.
Connie Galen: What?
Georgie Galen: You were dreaming again.
Connie Galen: I'm sorry.
Georgie Galen: You never have to apologize to me for the dream.
Connie Galen: What time is it?
Georgie Galen: 9:30.
Connie Galen: You're late for work.
Georgie Galen: Yeah, uh, about that, uh... I sort of punched a guy.
Connie Galen: Did you get fired?
Georgie Galen: Yeah. 53 bucks. You're, like, the worst stripper in the world.
Connie Galen: Well, to get more I gotta show more. And topless is bad enough.
Georgie Galen: Well, why don't you just quit if it bugs you that much?
Connie Galen: 'Cause we gotta eat.
Georgie Galen: Yeah, well, we need some stuff, by the way.
Connie Galen: So go get it… Where's Alicia?
Georgie Galen: Left last night with some dude.
Connie Galen: What dude?
Georgie Galen: I don't know. Some dude in a jeep… Got your yearly gift, I see.
Connie Galen: They left it in my car this time.
Georgie Galen: They left this for me on the porch, too.
Connie Galen: Son of a bitch is never gonna leave us alone.
Georgie Galen: Happy 20th anniversary, right?
Connie Galen: I hate you.
----------
Abner Merriman: The, uh, door will of course be locked from the outside, and this button here, it sounds audibly as well as triggers a flashing light to signal the guards.
Spencer Reid: Thank you.
Abner Merriman: When you're finished. Are these the crime scene photos? Oh.
Spencer Reid: Uh, some of them, yes.
Abner Merriman: God... I knew what he did, of course, but I... You know, never saw... 23 victims like this.
Spencer Reid: Sometimes in these interviews they talk about crimes they were never charged with, so it might even be more.
Abner Merriman: Is it ever less?
Spencer Reid: No.
Aaron Hotchner: Uh, please. Paying attention to these items projects a kind of importance on them. When he comes in, I'd like to give him the opportunity to show us which parts of the crimes he thinks are important.
Abner Merriman: Sorry. Of course. Sorry.
Aaron Hotchner: It's all right.
Guard: Chains left on, right?
Spencer Reid: That's probably a good idea.
Aaron Hotchner: No. It won't be necessary.
Spencer Reid: It won't?
Guard: You sure?
Aaron Hotchner: Mm-Hmm. We're just gonna talk, right, Chester?
----------
Emily Prentiss: Hotch is in Connecticut, right?
Jennifer Jareau: With Reid. They left last night. They're doing a custodial interview. Chester Hardwick.
Emily Prentiss: Oh, damn.
Derek Morgan: He doesn't need anything else on his mind when he's dealing with a guy like Hardwick.
Emily Prentiss: So what do we do?
Derek Morgan: You got any idea what Rossi was working on?
Jennifer Jareau: I--I think Garcia might know. He stopped by her place last night.
Derek Morgan: What?
Emily Prentiss: Why?
Penelope Garcia: I'm not supposed to say… 'Cause... He said he wanted to keep it between us.
Emily Prentiss: He might need our help.
Penelope Garcia: He didn't ask anyone for help.
Emily Prentiss: Penelope... Rossi is a guy who color codes his handwritten notes in his notebooks. Blue pen for evidentiary items, red pen for supposition and theory. The guy is a fussy, anal-retentive neat freak who never leaves anything out of its place. I would say this is a scream for help.
Penelope Garcia: He's in Indianapolis, On a 20-year-old double homicide. He said it's time someone pays for it. And he was upset.
Derek Morgan: Indianapolis?
Penelope Garcia: Yeah. He took a commercial flight this morning, he picked up a bureau SUV half an hour ago.
Jennifer Jareau: Jet's available.
Derek Morgan: Let's go.
----------
Gary Willis: Agent Rossi. Gary Willis, Indianapolis Police Department.
David Rossi: I asked for captain Giles.
Gary Willis: Yeah, he died a year ago.
David Rossi: That's a shame. He was a good cop. Do you have the Galen files?
Gary Willis: Yeah, they're right here.
David Rossi: Do you have anything new?
Gary Willis: If we do, it's not in this file.
David Rossi: You don't know? Well, who's working on this?
Gary Willis: 20 years is a long time cold.
David Rossi: When do you stop looking for a double murderer?
Gary Willis: You know, I didn't know this was an FBI case.
David Rossi: Well, it isn't. Not officially. I was on the original scene the day it happened.
Gary Willis: You probably know more about it than i do, then. At least you had someone to talk to. No one's lived here since that day. There's a housekeeping service that comes in once a week, but otherwise it's empty.
David Rossi: I know. I own it
----------
David Rossi: I bought it at an auction 2 years after the murders.
Gary Willis: Why?
David Rossi: The money went to the grandmother. She raised them after... Well, she died some years later and... They're still living over there at her house.
Gary Willis: That's pretty personally involved. Do you know these people or something?
David Rossi: No. It was the kids, I guess. I... Kind of got attached. Look, I don't mean to be a hard-ass.
Gary Willis: It's no problem. We going in?
David Rossi: No… I've spent years looking in that house. There's nothing there, nothing we missed, no evidence we didn't find.
Gary Willis: Then why are you here?
David Rossi: I was hoping you had something new… I'm sorry to bother you.
Gary Willis: No bother.
David Rossi: Thanks for coming.
----------
Aaron Hotchner: Sit down.
Chester Hardwick: I'd like this window opened… I'll answer any question you have, but only if this window is open.
Aaron Hotchner: Go ahead. Reid.
Spencer Reid: You were born April 4, 1950?
Chester Hardwick: Does my birthdate really matter?
Spencer Reid: It's customary for us to start at the beginning. We want to try to know as much as we can about your childhood.
Chester Hardwick: There's nothing to know. It was average. I lived in a nice house on a quiet street. I ate cereal. I went to school. I watched cartoons.
Aaron Hotchner: I don't have time for this. You didn't live in a nice house on a quiet street. You grew up in a series of projects in east Bridgeport, each one worse than the last. You spent your teenage years peeping into your female neighbors' windows and burglarizing their underwear drawers when you got the chance. And you set 100 small fires for which you spent 2 years in juvenile detention.
Spencer Reid: We've done extensive research, Mr. Hardwick, and we've talked to almost everyone you've ever known... Including your mother.
Chester Hardwick: Good old Jean? I'll bet she was a real treat.
Aaron Hotchner: Good old Jean's down the street in the state hospital.
Spencer Reid: At this point, lying to us isn't really possible or helpful.
Chester Hardwick: Well, then, you're wrong.
Aaron Hotchner: About what?
Chester Hardwick: I started a lot more than 100 fires.
----------
Kevin Lynch: Beautiful.
Penelope Garcia: Oh, my--!
Kevin Lynch: Aah! I'm... S-Sorry. I didn't mean to scare you. I just, uh, I-- You just look so beautiful multitasking.
Penelope Garcia: What are you doing here?
Kevin Lynch: I work here, too.
Penelope Garcia: Yeah, in your own office, 2 floors down.
Kevin Lynch: I can't come over and visit?
Penelope Garcia: Are you insane?!
Kevin Lynch: What's wrong?
Penelope Garcia: Have you forgotten last night?
Kevin Lynch: I will never forget last night.
Penelope Garcia: We were caught fraternizing by one of my bosses.
Kevin Lynch: You know-- Ahem-- It was rude of Rossi to show up at your place after work hours.
Penelope Garcia: Rude? You found him rude?
Kevin Lynch: You know, maybe i should have a talk with him… Straighten him out.
Penelope Garcia: You want to straighten out agent Rossi?
Kevin Lynch: No, what I want is for me to be able to come up here and... And kiss my girlfriend. And-- And if that means i have to talk to him, well, then-- Then that's what I'll do.
Penelope Garcia: Girlfriend? Kevin...
Kevin Lynch: Yes?
Penelope Garcia: If you get, like, within 100 feet of agent Rossi, I will unleash an unrecoverable virus on your personal computer systems that will reduce your electronic world into something between a commodore 64 and a block of government cheese… Call me later.
----------
Derek Morgan: You know, there's not really much to this file, Garcia.
Penelope Garcia: Oh, there's a latent fingerprint that's making a second run through APHIS as we speak. As soon as i get results I'll let you know. And then there's also apparently some crime scene notes. That agent Rossi wrote up that I'm still spelunking for.
Emily Prentiss: So he was on the actual crime scene with the local detectives?
Jennifer Jareau: Could be why it bothers him so much.
Derek Morgan: Well, I highly doubt this was his first scene.
Emily Prentiss: Yeah, but it was a bad one. The weapon was a long-handled ax.
Jennifer Jareau: Yeah, but we've seen worse since he's been back.
Emily Prentiss: There's nothing else cross-referenced, no other crimes tied to this?
Penelope Garcia: No, nothing I can find. I mean, certainly nothing with these signature elements.
Jennifer Jareau: Okay, so it's a double homicide, yes, but a single occurrence with no apparent issue of state lines? Was there a request from the local authorities for the FBI'S help?
Penelope Garcia: I don't think so.
Derek Morgan: So then why is this a B.A.U. case?
Penelope Garcia: I don't think it was.
Derek Morgan: All right, Garcia, I want you to double-check any other unsolved murders in Indiana or the surrounding states near this time. Something this brutal doesn't feel like a one-time thing.
Penelope Garcia: You've got it.
Emily Prentiss: What is it? What is it about this case for him?
----------
Chester Hardwick: What do you want to hear? How papa kicked me and Jean's ass every single day? That the kind of thing you want to hear?
Spencer Reid: If it's true.
Chester Hardwick: Nobody gives a damn about the truth.
----------
Penelope Garcia: Agent Rossi?
David Rossi: Anything come back yet on that print?
Penelope Garcia: No. No matches. Nothing on file. Sorry.
David Rossi: What about my notes?
Penelope Garcia: Those I have. Do you have a PDA? 'Cause I can e-mail them to you.
David Rossi: What's a PDA?
Penelope Garcia: It's a personal digital-- Never mind. Is there a fax number where you're at?
David Rossi: I'm at the palmer hotel. I'll be back there later. I don't have the number.
Penelope Garcia: Okay. I will find it.
David Rossi: Thanks. All right, I'll check back with you in, oh...
Penelope Garcia: And, sir, there's something else that you should know. Agents Prentiss and Morgan found your office in disarray this morning.
David Rossi: So?
Penelope Garcia: Well... They're concerned about you.
David Rossi: Well, tell them not to be.
Penelope Garcia: Yeah, uh, sir, that's the thing, see? I'm sorry--
David Rossi: You told them about this case?
Penelope Garcia: Yeah, I'm... We're all worried about you.
David Rossi: Damn it, I asked you to keep this between us.
Penelope Garcia: I'm sorry, sir. I know, and I... They're going to see you.
David Rossi: They're coming here? I don't need anybody's damn help.
----------
Chester Hardwick: Temperature's dropping. It's that time of year. Warm days, cold nights.
Spencer Reid: It'll be summer soon.
Aaron Hotchner: But not for you.
Chester Hardwick: No... Not for me.
Spencer Reid: Let's, um, let's talk about the specifics of the case. Why did you choose Sheila O'Neal?
Chester Hardwick: You gotta show me a picture. I don't know their names.
Aaron Hotchner: Is that what this is all about, some chance to relive all of this?
Chester Hardwick: I have an excellent memory. I thought you wanted to hear the truth. Truth is, they meant nothing to me… They were toys, a diversion, and from the moment I decided to kill them, they were dead. They begged, they cried, they bargained, and it didn't matter, because they didn't matter. Sometimes I wish I was normal, that I'd had a regular life… But I didn't.
Aaron Hotchner: Why did you ask us here?
Chester Hardwick: I wanted to smell the air.
Aaron Hotchner: What?
Chester Hardwick: They've got me on death watch. 24-Hour-A-Day isolation, And I will be until they take me to the death chamber. So I wanted to smell the air one last time before I die. Thank you for giving me that.
Aaron Hotchner: Let's pack it up.
Spencer Reid: Should we at least--
Aaron Hotchner: No, no… Have a nice trip, Chester. You're going where you belong.
Chester Hardwick: It's 5:17… Evening yard started at 5:00. Guard staff's outside with the population… There won't be anyone to open that door for... At least 13 minutes… And they took?
----------
Chester Hardwick: While you were doing your research, maybe a question or two about security tones would have been a good idea.
Aaron Hotchner: I heard the tones.
Chester Hardwick: So you planned to be locked inside with me, with no guns or weapons.
Aaron Hotchner: I won't need a gun.
Chester Hardwick: There's no way they're gonna execute me next week, not after I kill 2 FBI agents. You saved my life by coming here.
Aaron Hotchner: But unfortunately for you, I'm not a 5-foot-tall, 100-pound girl… All your life you've gone after victims who couldn't fight back. And the rest of the time you spent looking over your shoulder, worried about the knock on the door, scared that somebody like me would be on the other side waiting to put you away. At your core, you're a coward.
Spencer Reid: Chester, do you want to know why you killed those women?
Chester Hardwick: What?
Spencer Reid: Earlier you said you wish that you were different. I can tell you why you killed them, why you are... What you are.
----------
Emily Prentiss: You're buying, I'm drinking.
Derek Morgan: I don't think any of us could afford this place otherwise.
Jennifer Jareau: Yeah, I know I can't.
David Rossi: Go home.
Emily Prentiss: We thought you might need some help.
David Rossi: You're wrong.
Derek Morgan: Come on, now, Rossi. Bounce some theories off us. Fresh eyes can't hurt.
David Rossi: This isn't even a B.A.U. case.
Jennifer Jareau: Maybe not yet, but I can make anything a B.A.U. case if I want to. It's about paperwork and i know the paperwork.
David Rossi: Why do you care?
Emily Prentiss: Because you do.
----------
Chester Hardwick: You can tell me why I did the things I did?
Spencer Reid: I think so. I do… Your mother's bipolar and almost certainly an undifferentiated schizophrenic… Your father suffered severe shell shock in the war, what we now refer to as post-traumatic stress disorder. As far as I can tell, he remained clinically depressed the rest of his life. 53% of all serial killers have some form of mental illness in their family. In your case, both your parents suffered psychological disorders, which they largely took out on... They beat each other as much as they beat you, so violence became a natural expression of love... There's something called the hypothalamic region of the limbic system. It's the most primitive part of the brain. It wants what it wants without conscience and without judgment. It's what makes babies cry when they're hungry, uh, scream when they want affection, become enraged when a toy is taken away. In most children, a healthy relationship with their mother counters the hypothalamus and maps the child's brain into healthy emotional response... Your hypothalamus never learned control. It still operates on that primitive level... Your records indicate that you display the symptoms of satyriasis. You're obsessed with sex. Sex and love are cross-wired with pain. Additionally, your hypothalamus won't allow you to stop seeking the-- the desires that it wants… So you became a sexual sadist... No functioning sexual partner will ever willingly submit to the painful desires that you have. The only way you can serve them is by making a partner compliant, making sure that they do exactly what you want them to do… And you ensure that by killing them… Earlier, you said your victims never had a chance. I think you know deep down... It was you who really never had a chance.
Guard: Everything all right in here?
Aaron Hotchner: Fine. We're done.
Chester Hardwick: Is that true, I never had a chance?
Spencer Reid: I don't know. Maybe.
----------
David Rossi: I was here on a serial rapist in '88. It was pretty short work. The guy wasn't gonna win any I.Q. contests. The day after, we, uh, collared him, a local detective was driving me to the airport, and, uh, he hears a call on the walkie of kids screaming in a house not far from where we were. He asks if I mind taking the job in with him. We were first on the scene… Inside we found...
Derek Morgan: Found this.
David Rossi: The ax had been left behind, but it had been wiped clean. It turns out it belonged to the family. The, uh, oldest daughter, Connie, told me her father... Bought it on Christmas Eve a few months earlier... To cut down the Christmas tree… Now I, uh, always associate the whole thing with Christmas. Never been able to put a tree up myself again.
Jennifer Jareau: So, he-- he never hurt the kids at all?
David Rossi: Not physically.
Derek Morgan: But he would have known that the kids were in the house.
David Rossi: He only hurt the parents and then left.
Emily Prentiss: Okay, so, using a weapon he found at the scene and not eliminating all of the potential witnesses, that makes him disorganized.
Derek Morgan: But he left no evidence, which suggests he's organized.
Jennifer Jareau: There was a fingerprint.
David Rossi: But it was behind the bedroom door. I don't even think he knew it was there. There should have been prints in other places, but they were wiped clean. An open back door, a-- a drinking glass left in the kitchen… And that one good print... Was not a match anywhere… I've been over this a million times. I--I keep thinking, if there was just one more piece, one more thing to go on. The answer was right in front of me.
Emily Prentiss: He might be dead.
David Rossi: I have to be sure.
Derek Morgan: Rossi, if he's dead, you may never really know.
David Rossi: When we arrived on the scene... Before any of the other units got there... I could hear them... Before I even got out of the car… It was a warm morning, and the, uh... The windows were open in the upstairs bedroom… And their voices... Floated out into the street… They were crying and calling for their mommy and daddy… 3 terrified children screaming for their murdered parents… I've seen so much death and pain. But that sound... It's been 20 years and I can still hear them screaming every night... Crying… If I can't tell them for sure that whoever's responsible will never do it again. That screaming might never stop.
----------
Connie Galen: Alicia! Let's go!
Alicia Galen: In a minute.
Connie Galen: Now, leash!
Alicia Galen: God! Guess what-- My sister's a bitch… Call me.
Guy: You didn't give me your number.
Alicia Galen: Why do you have to be like that?
Connie Galen: Where were you for 2 days?
Alicia Galen: It was only one whole day.
Connie Galen: Where were you?
Alicia Galen: I'm 23 years old, Connie.
Connie Galen: You should've called.
Alicia Galen: You're not my mother.
----------
David Rossi: Hi, Connie. I brought the team--
Connie Galen: You need to stop this.
David Rossi: Excuse me?
Connie Galen: We thought that if we didn't call you back the last couple times you would just give up and leave us alone.
David Rossi: Well, I know that it hurts, but I'm only trying to make sure someone pays for your parents' deaths.
Connie Galen: We don't care anymore. It's been 20 years. We need to be able to move past it… Please!
David Rossi: I won't bother you kids again.
Connie Galen: And you'll stop it with the gifts, too?
David Rossi: Gifts?
Connie Galen: What are we supposed to do with a bunch of toys? They remind us of the worst day of our lives.
David Rossi: I never send you any gifts this is it?
----------
David Rossi: That’s it?
Georgie Galen: It's all we could find.
Alicia Galen: We threw a lot of them away.
David Rossi: I wish you would have told me about this.
Connie Galen: We thought you were sending them. First we kind of liked it, and then it just became a bad reminder.
Emily Prentiss: These are incredibly cheap, aren't they?
Derek Morgan: Where would you even buy toys like that?
Jennifer Jareau: Or why?
David Rossi: How did you receive them?
Connie Galen: They were usually left on the front porch at night. Mine was found in my car this time.
David Rossi: So he's following you.
Connie Galen: There was a pickup outside the-- Uh, where I work. I just... I always thought it was you.
David Rossi: What do you remember about the pickup?
Connie Galen: Uh, all I saw was the shape and the headlights.
David Rossi: Morgan, obsessional crimes are your specialty.
Derek Morgan: Well, there's two kinds of obsessional offenders that would send gifts to survivors. Sadists who want to make the families keep reliving the crime, or guilt-laden offenders, desperately trying to find some type of way to apologize.
David Rossi: Sadists usually use something they know will remind the family of the person of the crime. Jewellery, newspaper clippings.
Emily Prentiss: These don't look like the kind of things you would send to inflict pain on someone.
David Rossi: So, guilt-laden.
Emily Prentiss: You know, they actually look like the kind of thing a child would send.
Derek Morgan: Okay. Well, it's rare, but an unsub who feels this much guilt sometimes commits the crime unintentionally. They tend to be developmentally disabled, extremely low I.Q. offenders, and generally, well, they're physically large and they're very strong. Strong enough to hurt somebody accidentally.
Emily Prentiss: Like Lennie in of Mice and Men.
Derek Morgan: Exactly.
David Rossi: He needed help, then. There wasn't a fragment of evidence left at the scene. That's not low I.Q.
Derek Morgan: Well, usually they're assisted by an older relative, and it's almost always a parent. And this parent rationalizes that the unsub would never try to hurt anybody. See, in a lot of ways, this type of unsub... They're sort of... Overgrown children. JJ, when you get Garcia on the phone, tell her we're not looking for other homicides here. Get her to look into a string of less serious offenses in this area-- Parks, playgrounds-- Involving children, but not necessarily children that have been injured or abused.
Jennifer Jareau: Okay.
Derek Morgan: See, an unsub like this, when they seek out children, they want to play with them. They don't really want to hurt them. But it's their size… It frightens people.
Emily Prentiss: This could be that piece you were looking for.
----------
Aaron Hotchner: That was smart to get Hardwick to focus on himself long enough for the guards to come back.
Spencer Reid: I find that I do some of my best work under intense terror.
Aaron Hotchner: I'm sorry.
Spencer Reid: For what?
Aaron Hotchner: I antagonized the situation.
Spencer Reid: No, you didn't.
Aaron Hotchner: Well, I certainly didn't help.
Spencer Reid: Ah... I guess you really didn't help.
Aaron Hotchner: So Haley wants me to sign the divorce papers uncontested so nobody wastes money on lawyers.
Spencer Reid: You don't want to?
Aaron Hotchner: What I want I'm not gonna get.
----------
Penelope Garcia: Okay, crime-fighters, I got the information you were looking for, but it may lead to more questions than answers.
Emily Prentiss: Oh, of course.
Penelope Garcia: There are scads of open petty crimes, as described, in the very area of Indiana in the last 20 years. But here's the rub-- A large portion of them only occur in the last week of March and the first week of April every year. And then it gets weirder, 'cause the same kind of crimes crop up in Springfield, Illinois, for the next 2 weeks, and then Des Moines, Iowa, in the couple of weeks after that.
Derek Morgan: So he's traveling.
Jennifer Jareau: On a specific schedule for years?
Emily Prentiss: Maybe he's a salesman?
Derek Morgan: Who takes a developmentally disabled partner on a sales call?
David Rossi: What about a carnival?
Alicia Galen: Carnival?
Connie Galen: We went to a carnival the day before. It's the last thing we did as a family.
Emily Prentiss: Did anything happen?
Georgie Galen: No.
Connie Galen: No, we had to leave early. There was this clown that... Made me a balloon animal. It didn't even look right. But then he kind of followed me around… He didn't really do anything, but my mom got afraid, so we left.
Georgie Galen: You never told us that.
Connie Galen: I didn't even remember it until now.
David Rossi: Penelope, pull permits. Find out is this carnival is still in business.
Penelope Garcia: The study is ready.
----------
David Rossi: You guys look around. Prentiss, you come with me.
Landon: Jeff! Get more tie-downs over that ferris hauler! I don't want to have to slow down halfway across Illinois because that moron left pieces hanging off again! Idiots!
David Rossi: You look like you're in charge.
----------
Derek Morgan: I can't believe people actually pay good money to play these fixed games.
Jennifer Jareau: Men.
Derek Morgan: Excuse me?
Jennifer Jareau: It's not people. It's men.
Derek Morgan: Is that a fact?
Jennifer Jareau: Only a man would waste $50 trying to win that $3.00 stuffed animal.
----------
Emily Prentiss: You pulling out in a hurry?
Landon: That's the way this business works. Gotta be set up where the money is. Right now that ain't here.
David Rossi: Where you headed to next, Springfield? We'd like to talk to you about one of your clowns.
----------
Derek Morgan: Did you go to carnivals as a kid?
Jennifer Jareau: Oh, yeah, every year.
Derek Morgan: Yeah, me, too. First place I had a drink.
Jennifer Jareau: Clown.
Derek Morgan: Come on.
----------
Landon: Clowns? This ain't a circus. Clowns are for the circus.
Emily Prentiss: You don't have any clowns in your carnival?
David Rossi: How about a guy who makes balloon animals?
Landon: Might.
David Rossi: Might?
Landon: At times.
Emily Prentiss: How long's he been with you?
Landon: What is this?
David Rossi: This guy would have been complained about. Kids are uncomfortable around him. You'd have gotten reports from parents.
Landon: I can't remember every complaint I get, mister.
David Rossi: It's not mister. It's agent Rossi, FBI. Now, do you have a son?
Landon: A son… The guy we want to talk to, he'd have been a big problem for you. You'd have gotten rid of him a long time ago, unless...
Emily Prentiss: It would have been difficult for him to hold down a job for long, much less 20 years.
Landon: 20 years? I really ain't got time for this.
David Rossi: Make time.
Landon: All right… He didn't mean to hurt those people. It was my fault as much as his… I got busy with one of the rides breaking down and he wandered off. He just wanted to see the little girl again. He liked her. He wanted to play… He would never hurt anyone. He went into the father's room by mistake. He come after him with an ax and he hit joey with it. So he got mad, that's all. I mean, that's understandable. I mean, isn't that understandable-- He gets hit with an ax and he gets mad? He was sorry as soon as he did it. He even put them back in bed. He just got angry. And I was too late! I was too late! I couldn't save them… But every year I take him back and I make him remember what he did. I'd even make him pick something from the joints to give them. He never forgets. Never. I make sure of that. Never! Look... He's a good boy.
----------
Jennifer Jareau: FBI!
Joe: Daddy! Daddy!
Derek Morgan: Get your ass out of there right now.
Joe: Daddy! Daddy!
Derek Morgan: Let's go. Let's go. Get down! Stay down!
Joe: Daddy! Daddy! Help me, daddy! Help me!
Landon: Don't fight, Joey!
Derek Morgan: Stay down!
Joe: I need some help. I need some help.
Derek Morgan: Stay down! Don't move!
Landon: Don't you hurt him. He won't fight you.
Joe: Help me!
Derek Morgan: What'd I say? Stop it! Stop it!
Joe: Daddy... Daddy...
Landon: Good boy. He's a really great boy.
Joe: Daddy, help me!
Landon: Don't fight, Joey.
Joe: Daddy!
----------
David Rossi: The title should be delivered in the next few days.
Alicia Galen: You're just giving us a house?
David Rossi: Giving it back. It's been kept clean and maintained. It should sell for a decent price. You'll all get a fresh start.
Connie Galen: You don't have to do this.
David Rossi: I think your parents would have wanted you to have it.
Alicia Galen: Thank you.
Georgie Galen: Thanks, man.
David Rossi: You're welcome… Um... These belonged to your mother. Your grandmother let me hold on to them until... Well... You should have them back now… Well, my team is waiting for me.
Connie Galen: Agent Rossi… I'd like you to have these… Is it okay if I call you sometime... Just to let you know how we're doing?
David Rossi: Anytime, kiddo. Anytime.
----------
Derek Morgan: Pretty boy. How was Connecticut?
Spencer Reid: Ultimately uneventful. Sir, there's somebody waiting to speak to you in your office.
Kevin Lynch: Agent Rossi. We need to talk... About Penelope... Man to man.
David Rossi: Man to man.
Derek Morgan: What about Penelope?
Spencer Reid: I don't know.
Jennifer Jareau: Garcia and Kevin sitting in a tree.
Derek Morgan: Get outta here. Are you serious?
Emily Prentiss: Just when I thought nothing scandalous was ever gonna happen around here.
Spencer Reid: What? What does that mean?
Emily Prentiss: Didn't you hear JJ?
Spencer Reid: The song meant something? No, I missed it.
Emily Prentiss: It--It... You know what? Never mind.
Spencer Reid: What?
