Aaron Hotchner: Brian Matloff, this is the FBI! We have a warrant for your arrest!
----------
Derek Morgan: Clear!
Agent 1: Clear!
Agent 2: Clear!
----------
Derek Morgan: He's going to the roof!
----------
Derek Morgan: You got nowhere to go, man… Matloff! Hang on, man! I'm coming over there.
Aaron Hotchner: Morgan, don't do it!
Derek Morgan: No!
----------
Sergeant: He's still alive.
Ted Jarvis: Not for long. Not after that.
----------
Spencer Reid: It's remarkable. Something like this makes you question everything you thought you knew.
Penelope Garcia: Yeah. It's like the monolith in 2001.
Spencer Reid: So there was actually a time when something like this was socially acceptable?
Penelope Garcia: Oh... You're young… The eighties left a lot of people confused. This is, uh, especially sad, though.
Emily Prentiss: All right, very funny, you guys. Very funny. What did you do to it?
Penelope Garcia: Do?
Emily Prentiss: Well, you obviously altered it in photoshop or something. That hair?
Penelope Garcia: Oh, no, pussycat. That's all you. Garfield high, class of '89.
Emily Prentiss: You really didn't change anything?
Penelope Garcia: I hacked it, as is. You're seriously trying to tell me you don't remember rocking that look?
Spencer Reid: Perhaps your lack of recognition stems from a dissociative fugue suffered in adolescence, say at a Siouxsie and the banshees concert.
Emily Prentiss: It's so weird. It's like some other life. What was that about?
Aaron Hotchner: Brian Matloff.
Penelope Garcia: Who?
Spencer Reid: Uh, aka the blue ridge strangler.
Penelope Garcia: Oh, right. That was, like, 4 years ago.
Emily Prentiss: 3 victims in the blue ridge parkway.
Spencer Reid: Allegedly. He was never convicted. He slipped into a coma before he could be tried.
Aaron Hotchner: Looks like they're finally gonna get their chance. He just woke up.
----------
Cece Hillenbrand: I don't care. If his name's on the file, pull it. I gotta go.
Aaron Hotchner: How are you, Cece?
Cece Hillenbrand: Good. Quite a turn, huh?
Aaron Hotchner: Yeah.
Cece Hillenbrand: Thanks for coming down.
Aaron Hotchner: So what's your plan?
Cece Hillenbrand: Plan? Try him and fry him. Ms. Hillenbrand?
Nurse: You can come back now.
Cece Hillenbrand: Okay. The indictment is still alive and i want you on board to testify.
Aaron Hotchner: Sure, whatever I can do. But 4 years is a long time.
Cece Hillenbrand: Meaning what?
Aaron Hotchner: The indictment may be intact, but the case won't be. People move on, retire, evidence degrades.
Cece Hillenbrand: Right. I forgot you used to be a prosecutor.
Aaron Hotchner: And I got burned more than once when time dangech the fabric of a case.
Cece Hillenbrand: Well, time hasn't changed the facts. He killed 3 people, maybe more.
----------
Cece Hillenbrand: Who knows? Maybe rip van winkle's ready to come clean.
Doctor: If you're talking about Mr. Matloff, I’m afraid that's not likely. The patient has focal retrograde amnesia.
Cece Hillenbrand: What? You're telling me he doesn't remember the murders?
Doctor: He can't even remember his name.
----------
Aaron Hotchner: "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.
----------
David Rossi: A had he type, brunette, young. They were jogging?
Aaron Hotchner: Alone, early in the morning.
David Rossi: Easy prey.
Cece Hillenbrand: Well, that's about the worst news i could have gotten. Marvin Leopold, our only key witness, died 2 years ago.
Aaron Hotchner: He O.D.?
Cece Hillenbrand: How'd you know?
Aaron Hotchner: I remember he had a heroin problem.
David Rossi: Your best witness was a junkie?
Cece Hillenbrand: It was solid. He put Matloff at the park with Darci Corbett, victim number 3. The warrant and the indictment were made largely on the witness. Everything else is circumstantial.
David Rossi: I could name a dozen killers we got convicted with less.
Cece Hillenbrand: Well, you're not the one arguing a rail-Thin case in front of the 23rd circuit.
Aaron Hotchner: The rocket docket.
Cece Hillenbrand: Gives me half the time to prepare.
Aaron Hotchner: I can help you prep.
David Rossi: And I'll go over the case with our team. The local detective retired. There may be lines of investigation that fell off.
Cece Hillenbrand: I appreciate it.
Aaron Hotchner: We're not just doing it for you. We're doing it for them.
----------
Aaron Hotchner: Detective.
Ted Jarvis: Wish I could say it was good to see you again.
Aaron Hotchner: This is our, uh, newest agent Dr. Spencer Reid.
Ted Jarvis: Ted Jarvis. A little young, aren't you?
Spencer Reid: No offense. None taken. In fact, neural processing speeds reach their maximum at around age 15, so when it comes to being affected by crime scenes and other graphic visual input, we're all really the same age.
Aaron Hotchner: Reid. Tell me what you see.
Spencer Reid: Ligature marks seem to match that of the previous 2 victims. He uses a belt. It's his signature. Tan line on the wrist means her watch is missing. He takes trophies.
Derek Morgan: They're always buried facedown.
Spencer Reid: It's a sign of remorse. He can't bear looking them in the face.
Derek Morgan: So he knows them personally?
Spencer Reid: You don't have to know somebody to regret killing them. No, he picks these women because he can.
Aaron Hotchner: He's opportunistic. These victims happened to be in the wrong place at the right time.
Ted Jarvis: Bogey coming in.
Derek Morgan: The father?
Ted Jarvis: Don't suppose you guys want to Rochambeau for the privilege?
Spencer Reid: I'll go.
Ted Jarvis: Go get them, tiger.
----------
Mr. Corbett: It's her, isn't it? It's my Darci.
Spencer Reid: It might be, sir, but if it is, you don't want to see her. This isn't a memory that you want.
----------
Derek Morgan: After the raid on Matloff's apartment, we discovered he had another area of interest: Native American mythology. We realized our profile wasn't complete.
Spencer Reid: There's a native American believe that says burying a body facedown traps the soul and prevents it from haunting the killer.
Emily Prentiss: That's why he buried them like this?
Spencer Reid: That was the theory.
Emily Prentiss: 3 women in shallow graves. I don't see any progression. There's no learning curve.
Jennifer Jareau: Do you think there could have been more, earlier victims when he was honing his skills?
Derek Morgan: We considered it a possibility. It turned out Matloff worked in Blue Ridge parkway for the forest service. He had free reign over the entire park.
Jennifer Jareau: It says here he was raised polish catholic. Any idea what led him to identify with native American culture?
Derek Morgan: We didn't get that far.
Spencer Reid: Another thing we never got was any physical evidee at his apartment tying him to the crimes.
Emily Prentiss: What about the jewellery he took, the souvenirs?
Derek Morgan: No trace.
Jennifer Jareau: So what did he do with him?
Aaron Hotchner: Well, if we didn't need the answer to that before, we do now. It turns out our star witness has been dead for 2 years.
Derek Morgan: He was the only one who could put Matloff at the scene.
Spencer Reid: There might be another way.
----------
Cece Hillenbrand: We'd like to request that the defendant Undergo the process of brain fingerprinting. This procedure will show if the memories of the crimes are present in the mind of the defendant, regardless of whether or not he chooses to recall them.
Lester Serling: Your honor, where do I begin? The science on this type of testing is unproven, to say the least.
Cece Hillenbrand: In the state of Iowa vs. Terry Harrington, the results were ruled admissible as scientific evidence as defined in congress ruling 702 and in Daubert v. Merrell.
Lester Serling: This is a hail Mary, your honor. They have no evidence and they know it. And beyond that, my client is in a very fragile mental state. I can't in good conscience let them go poking around in his brain.
Judge: What about that? Is it safe?
Aaron Hotchner: The test is non-invasive and completely safe. They'll simply be looking at images on a computer screen while an EEG monitors his brain activity.
Lester Serling: Subject him to graphic imagery to prompt some kind of reaction, which they can then point to as evidence of guilt? It's perverse. I object to even…
Brian Matloff: I want to do it.
Lester Serling: Just one moment, your honor.
Brian Matloff: Your honor... Every day I waken to this, uh... Nightmare of not knowing who or... What I am, and if this test can really help me remember, then whatever the consequences, I- I want to do it. I have to.
----------
Mr. Corbett: Dr. Reid.
Spencer Reid: Mr. Corbett. I didn't see you in there. How have you been?
Mr. Corbett: Oh... Not bad, considering. Um... You aren't not buying this amnesia thing, are you?
Spencer Reid: I'm trying to figure that out.
Mr. Corbett: It's probably something the lawyer thought up. It won't work, will it?
Spencer Reid: We have a pretty strong case.
Mr. Corbett: Good. That's good. You look different. Your hair.
Spencer Reid: It's been 4 years.
Mr. Corbett: Right. I forget. Sometimes I feel like Darci's just... Ah-It messes with time, this thing. You know? You lose time.
Spencer Reid: Yeah. I know.
Mr. Corbett: You always hear about closure, you know? And you never really know what that means. Maybe now I can... Get on with things, you know?
Spencer Reid: How's Mrs. Corbett doing? Is, uh, she here?
Mr. Corbett: Oh, no, no, no. She's, uh... We split up. It... Was hard to... It was my fault, really.
Spencer Reid: I'm sure it was just, you know... It happens.
Mr. Corbett: Yeah. It's okay. Everything's gonna be ok now.
----------
Brian Matloff: You're with the FBI, right?
Aaron Hotchner: You don't remember me? We met during the investigation.
Brian Matloff: So... You don't have any doubts, then, about me, who and what I am?
Aaron Hotchner: No, I don't.
Tech: We're ready here.
----------
Aaron Hotchner: Yeah, JJ. I'm in with Matloff.
Jennifer Jareau: I'm at the hospital. I may have something interesting.
Aaron Hotchner: What have you got?
Jennifer Jareau: Matloff had a visitor that came about once every 6 months while he was here.
Aaron Hotchner: Somebody we know?
Jennifer Jareau: It's not a name I recognize from the case file. The name on the visitor log is Nina Moore.
Aaron Hotchner: Track her down. I gotta go.
Jennifer Jareau: I'm on it.
----------
Tech: He tested no mermers across the board, on each variable image.
Cece Hillenbrand: Mermers?
Tech: It's an acronym. Memory and encoding related multi-faceted…
Cece Hillenbrand: Is it good or bad?
Tech: Depends on how you look at it.
Aaron Hotchner: It means he showed no familiarity with the images. Either he really doesn't remember…
Cece Hillenbrand: Or we got the wrong guy.
----------
Aaron Hotchner: The brain fingerprinting may have just killed any chance we have of putting Matloff away.
David Rossi: The D.A. isn't required to enter it into evidence.
Aaron Hotchner: No, but he can get it on discovery and you can bet he's gonna use it.
David Rossi: And that's why I distrust all technology.
Derek Morgan: So how'd he get over? I thought nobody could beat this test.
Spencer Reid: The damage to his parietal lobe must have been more extensive than previously thought. The brain injury could have literally deleted his memories.
David Rossi: Oh, he did the murders, and we'll prove it. What he remembers doesn't matter.
Emily Prentiss: Doesn't it? I mean, if those experiences are gone forever, doesn't that sort of make him, I don't know, like...
Spencer Reid: Different person?
Derek Morgan: No, not at all.
Spencer Reid: It's interesting…
David Rossi: Not to me.
Spencer Reid: It goes to core arguments about the nature of identity. There's a western philosophical concept, causal dependence, that says that a psychological connection to the past plays a key role in defining who we are.
Derek Morgan: Reid, what are you saying, that this guy shouldn't be tried?
Spencer Reid: I'm not saying that.
Emily Prentiss: But one could make the argument that in his current condition he's no longer a danger to society.
David Rossi: Not until he gets his memory back.
Derek Morgan: But it's not just about this guy being a danger. It's about making sure somebody pays for what happened to those girls.
Aaron Hotchner: Well, it's not up to us to decide to what extent he should be punished. That's for the courts. Where are we with Matloff's mystery visitor?
Jennifer Jareau: Prentiss and I contacted every recorded Nina Moore within 500 miles of the hospital. 71 in total, no takers.
Aaron Hotchner: Matloff's a textbook loner. No meaningful relationships, no family, no girlfriends but anyone who would visit a coma patient-
Derek Morgan: A triple murderer coma patient.
Aaron Hotchner: We're talking about somebody who feels connected to him.
Jennifer Jareau: Maybe connected enough to know the truth.
David Rossi: The truth could be she's just a fan, every serial killer's got them.
Aaron Hotchner: Let's go back to the hospital and interview the staff. We need to build a profile and help locate this woman.
----------
Lidia: You all right in there? You were screaming.
Brian Matloff: It was just a dream… I guess I'm... Anxious with the trial... Starting tomorrow.
Lidia: You passed that brain test thing, right? That's good.
Brian Matloff: Suppose I could get... Something to... Write with and a piece of paper? Doctor said it'd be good for...
Lidia: I'll see what I can do.
Brian Matloff: Hey, what's that smell?
Lidia: Um... It's popcorn.
Brian Matloff: Popcorn?
Lidia: Bill made some on his break.
Brian Matloff: Do I like popcorn?
----------
Cece Hillenbrand: Ladies and gentlemen, you are here to bring justice to the families of 3 beautiful young women whose lives were cut short by a cold and calculating killer. Darci Corbett, Celeste Ferami, April Sotherford, 3 women out for a run or a jog in the park when they were approached by an employee of the forestry service. An employee who used his authority to lure these women into a secluded area where he could safely perform the act of murder.
Lester Serling: Was it the work of a serial killer? Perhaps. But the theory that my client is the responsible party is just that… A theory.
Cece Hillenbrand: He strangled them slowly, inflicting maximum suffering and terror, and in the process, turned the blue ride parkway into his own private killing fields.
Lester Serling: No eyewitness, no fingerprints, no DNA, no murder weapon. Not one shred of hard evidence. The only way that they can tie my client to these crimes is through the pseudo-science called profiling.
Cece Hillenbrand: At the close of evidence, you will know that Brian Matloff is the man who committed these crimes, whatever he remembers it or not.
----------
Cece Hillenbrand: So, through this process of image analysis, you concluded that all 3 murders were perpetrated by one man.
Aaron Hotchner: Yes, that's correct.
Cece Hillenbrand: And you believe that man is Brian Matloff?
Aaron Hotchner: Yes, I do.
Cece Hillenbrand: Can you tell us how you came to that conclusion?
Aaron Hotchner: Along with agents Reid and Morgan, we began to analyse the behaviour of the unknown subject as manifested before, during, and after the commission of the murders. Our goal was to generate a suspect pool, a list of names which we'd eventually narrow down to one person.
----------
Aaron Hotchner: He hunts 200,000 acres like it's his own backyard. He attacks high-risk victims, young, strong female joggers, but in low-risk locations.
Derek Morgan: Like David Carpenter, the trailside killer. Are there other parallels?
Spencer Reid: This guy's different. Carpenter used a blitz attack. This unsub insinuates himself, disarms the victims.
Derek Morgan: Maybe he uses a con, playing the injured hiker, lost dog?
Aaron Hotchner: Too many variables. She could run for help or call 911 on her cell phone before he gains control.
Derek Morgan: Control.
Spencer Reid: He's in a position of authority.
Derek Morgan: But not law enforcement. A cop would know better than to bury a body in 2 feet of dirt.
Aaron Hotchner: The forest service would give him access to service roads.
----------
Aaron Hotchner: This deduction revealed to us how the killer gained satisfaction from his crimes. By burying the victims in the park, he was able to revisit the scene and relive his acts over and over.
Cece Hillenbrand: So, I imagine there are a lot of people who work for the forest service.
----------
Spencer Reid: 1,718 employees.
Aaron Hotchner: He won't be a new employee. He's cautious, he's organized. He leaves behind no trace evidence.
Derek Morgan: He's bordering on paranoid. He's the kind of guy who needs to know exactly what the cops know. He's probably inserted himself into the investigation already. Hey, what's that new tech girl's name?
Spencer Reid: Uh... Gomez, I think.
Derek Morgan: Excuse me, Gomez. Hey, baby girl.
Penelope Garcia: Baby girl?
Derek Morgan: Forgive me. I just didn't know the real…
Penelope Garcia: I've been called worse… What can I do for you?
----------
Cece Hillenbrand: And what did technical analyst Garcia do at that time?
Aaron Hotchner: We asked her to check names of forestry employees against a list of witnesses interviewed by the Roanoke police.
Cece Hillenbrand: And were you able to find a common denominator?
Aaron Hotchner: Yes, one. Brian Matloff.
----------
David Rossi: Of course it went well. I taught him everything he knows about giving testimony. How'd the jury react? Good… Okay. Give me a call after the defense has had a go at him. Reid says thing are good at the trial. How did it go at the hospital?
Jennifer Jareau: Our interviews filled in some blanks about the woman who visited Matloff. Uh, late 40s to mid-50s, with quiet, almost nervous demeanour.
Emily Prentiss: On her first visit, she didn't even make it into the room. She just stood in the doorway and watched for a few minutes and then left.
David Rossi: And on later visits, she'd what, sit with him, talk to him?
Emily Prentiss: Read to him. On more than one occasion, she asked the nurses about his condition, and they said she appeared "concerned with his pain."
David Rossi: That sounds almost maternal.
Jennifer Jareau: We thought so, too, but his parents effectively disowned him after the indictment.
Emily Prentiss: So we called his mother to make sure, got to talking, and guess what. She's not his mother.
Jennifer Jareau: And his father's not his father.
David Rossi: Matloff was adopted?
Emily Prentiss: This visitor could be his birth mother. She's the right age. They may have had a relationship that no one knew about.
David Rossi: What other physical description did you get?
Jennifer Jareau: Uh, brunette, brown eyes, dark complexion. One nurse thought Hispanic, another one said Mediterranean.
David Rossi: What about native American?
Emily Prentiss: That would explain his interest in the culture.
David Rossi: He's trying to get in touch with his roots.
----------
Lester Serling: Now, my client ran from the police, a behaviour that you called a strong indicator of his guilt.
Aaron Hotchner: Yes, that's correct.
Lester Serling: Were you aware that he had an outstanding warrant at the time of his arrest?
Aaron Hotchner: Yes. I believe it was for an automobile accident, a hit and run.
Lester Serling: So isn't it possible that Mr. Matloff fled not because he was guilty of murder, but because of this other warrant?
Aaron Hotchner: There were 8 law enforcement officers in bulletproof vests. I doubt any reasonable person would assume…
Lester Serling: A yes or no answer will do.
Aaron Hotchner: Yes, it's possible.
----------
Penelope Garcia: Right. 54, native American. Ma'am, I have all that. What I really need now is identifiable information… Yes, I know what a closed adoption means. Do you know what a court order means?
Jennifer Jareau: We don't have time for court orders.
Penelope Garcia: You know what, ma'am? I am done being nice. If you look to your cursor, you'll notice it's moving on its own. That's me hacking your secure network. Now I got her file, now I got her social, and now, 'cause you're grumpy, I'm gonna send your boss these Jamaican vacation photos. Check you out… No tan lines. Nina Genesee, married in 1978, changed her name to Moore, current address Madison Heights, Virginia.
Jennifer Jareau: Madison Heights. No, I called this woman. She said she wasn't the one. Said she'd never even been to Roanoke.
Penelope Garcia: Why would she lie?
Jennifer Jareau: And why hasn't she tried to see him since he woke up?
----------
Lester Serling: So, you've stated that it was your profile of the killer that led you and the police to my client's door that night.
Aaron Hotchner: Behavioural analysis was a factor in our investigation, yes.
Lester Serling: And was behavioural analysis also a factor in the Olympic Park bombings case in Atlanta?
Aaron Hotchner: Yes, it was.
Lester Serling: And was that suspect you identified, Richard Jewell, ever convicted of the bombings?
Cece Hillenbrand: Objection. Relevance.
Lester Serling: Goes to the credibility of the witness and his field.
Judge: I'll allow it.
Aaron Hotchner: No, he was not convicted.
Lester Serling: Because he was innocent. Your profile led you to the wrong man.
Aaron Hotchner: Jewell was not the perpetrator, but if you look at the real Olympic Park bomber, Eric Rudolph, you'll see that our profile was dead on.
Lester Serling: Well, how about if we look at the Baton Rouge killer? Your unit said that was white and living in the city. He was black and from the suburbs. You said that Dennis Rader, the BTK Killer, was divorced and impotent. He turned out to be married with 2 kids.
Cece Hillenbrand: Objection, your honor. He's giving a sermon.
Judge: Do you have a question in there somewhere, counselor?
Lester Serling: Having been wrong on those cases, isn't it possible that you were wrong about Brian Matloff?
Aaron Hotchner: No.
Lester Serling: The fact is, behavioral analysis is really just intellectual guesswork. You probably couldn't tell me the color of my socks with any greater accuracy than a carnival psychic.
Cece Hillenbrand: Objection.
Lester Serling: Withdrawn.
Aaron Hotchner: Charcoal Gray.
Lester Serling: Well, look at that. He got one right.
Aaron Hotchner: You match them to the color of your suit to appear taller. You also wear lifts and you've had the soles of your shoes replaced. One might think you're frugal, but in fact, you're having financial difficulties. You wear a fake Rolex because you pawned your real one to pay your debts. My guess is to a bookie.
Lester Serling: I took this case pro bono. I am one of the most successful criminal attorneys in the state.
Aaron Hotchner: Your vice is horses. Your blackberry's been buzzing on the table every 20 minutes, which happens to be the average time between posts from colonial downs. You're getting race results. And every time you do, it affects your mood in court, and you're not having a very good day. That's because you pick horses the same way you practice law… By always taking the long shot.
Lester Serling: Well, you spin a very good yarn, agent, but as usual, you've proven nothing.
Aaron Hotchner: If I'm not mistaken, the results from the fifth race should be coming through any minute… Why don't you tell us if your luck has changed?
Lester Serling: Your honor, this is…
Judge: What do you want me to do? Either show us your blackberry or cut him loose, counselor.
Lester Serling: Nothing further.
Judge: Wise decision. Court will be adjourned until 9 a.m. tomorrow.
----------
Spencer Reid: Mr. Corbett. Hey, uh, I just wanted to make sure you knew that cross-examination wasn't as bad as it sounded.
Mr. Corbett: I'm not worried.
Spencer Reid: Oh. Good.
Mr. Corbett: I have a better understanding of things now.
Spencer Reid: Understanding?
Mr. Corbett: After Darci died, I started to see a therapist. Had a lot of guilt, you know. Thought that I should have been there for her, saved her somehow, I don't know. This guy, this shrink, he always brought it back to control. He said I had to accept the fact that there were always gonna be things in life I couldn't control.
Spencer Reid: I think that's wise.
Mr. Corbett: I realize I have no say over what goes on in that courtroom… See you later, Spencer.
----------
David Rossi: Nina Moore?
Nina Moore: Yes.
David Rossi: We're with the FBI.
Nina Moore: Come in.
----------
David Rossi: Why didn't you come forward?
Nina Moore: I was protecting my family.
Jennifer Jareau: They don't know?
Nina Moore: I was a kid myself. You give away a child... I know it sounds cold, but you just want to forget about it, believe it never happened. So that's how I lived.
David Rossi: But you maintained a relationship with Brian.
Nina Moore: Maintained? No. I only saw him once before the accident.
Jennifer Jareau: You never got the sense that maybe he was...
Nina Moore: A murderer? Not in the slightest. I think was probably… Well-I mean, from what I understand in the news, we met before it started.
David Rossi: And when was that meeting?
Nina Moore: 5 years ago. He just called me out of the blue. The records were supposed to be sealed. I think he hired someone to find me.
David Rossi: And what did you talk about?
Nina Moore: He was interested in my family, my kids. He just wanted to... Call every once in a while, maybe meet around the holidays. But I couldn't. I could barely bring myself to look at him. I just...
David Rossi: You rejected him.
Nina Moore: Whatever he became, I can't help but feel it... It's my fault.
Jennifer Jareau: You can't blame yourself for what he did.
David Rossi: Why did you visit him at the hospital?
Nina Moore: Because it was safe, I suppose. I could be there for him and no one had to know. And because when I would read to him and listen to his breathing... It felt right.
Mr. Moore: Hey, whose car is that out there? The-Oh. Hello. Who's this?
Nina Moore: Excuse me.
Jennifer Jareau: That's a lot to explain.
David Rossi: She rejected him. That was the stressor.
Jennifer Jareau: She's just lucky he took no for an answer. It could have been a lot worse if he pressed the issue.
David Rossi: Maybe he did.
----------
David Rossi: Mrs. Moore. Did he ever send you anything? Any gifts?
----------
Nina Moore: I wanted to throw them away, but... I couldn't.
----------
Victim: Please. Please.
----------
Brian Matloff: Oh.
Lidia: You okay?
Brian Matloff: Yeah. It's just, uh... I didn't sleep last night.
Lidia: I'm not supposed to do this, but, um... I brought something… You want to know if you like popcorn, right? So, uh... You remember?
Brian Matloff: I think I'm starting to.
----------
Spencer Reid: Think about what this would do. Think about your daughter.
Mr. Corbett: I am thinking about her.
Spencer Reid: If she knew what you were about to do, and depending on your belief system, maybe she does, do you think she'd want this? Give me the gun. You want him to suffer, but he'll be dead. He won't feel anything, you'll be in prison, and you will regret it, believe me.
Mr. Corbett: I'm already in prison… How did you know?
Spencer Reid: Your affect, your behavior. You were too calm yesterday, and you called me by my first name.
Mr. Corbett: If you're so good at predicting things, how come you couldn't stop him before he took my Darci?
Spencer Reid: Look, I shouldn't say anything, but... There's some new evidence.
Mr. Corbett: What evidence?
----------
Nina Moore: My name is Nina Moore.
Cece Hillenbrand: And what is your relationship to the defendant?
Nina Moore: I'm his birth mother. His biological mother. I gave him up for adoption when he was a baby.
Cece Hillenbrand: And that was how long ago?
Nina Moore: 37 years.
Cece Hillenbrand: So you didn't have a relationship with him?
Nina Moore: No. I never saw him until 2003.
Cece Hillenbrand: He tracked you down?
Nina Moore: Yes. We met at a café and talked for a bit, and then he left.
Cece Hillenbrand: And what did you talk about?
Nina Moore: He said he wanted to be a part of my life. I told him it was impossible.
Cece Hillenbrand: You felt that he was being... Unrealistic, irrational even?
Nina Moore: No, not at all. He was just a little lost. He wanted to belong to something. Turning him away was one of the hardest things I've ever had to do. A person can't live two lives. I'm sorry, Brian. I'm so sorry.
Cece Hillenbrand: Mrs. Moore, did the defendant make any subsequent attempts to communicate with you?
Nina Moore: A few months after that, I got something in the mail. There was no note or anything, just a postmark from Roanoke, and I knew that's where he lived.
Cece Hillenbrand: And what were the contents of the envelope?
Nina Moore: It was a necklace… 2 months after that I got another… And then a watch. I thought he was trying to... I- I don't know, just persuade me with gifts. I thought they were estate jewelry.
Cece Hillenbrand: Your honor, I'd like to enter into evidence people's exhibit "f" through "h." Are these the items that you received in the mail?
Nina Moore: Yes.
Cece Hillenbrand: And the watch in this bag- Do you see it in this photograph?
Nina Moore: Yes, that's it.
Cece Hillenbrand: Let the record reflect the witness has identified the watch worn in this photograph by murder victim Darci Corbett… I have nothing further.
Judge: Court is adjourned until 9 a.m. tomorrow, back for cross.
----------
Lidia: Rough day in there, huh?
----------
Aaron Hotchner: Cece, I need to talk to you.
Cece Hillenbrand: Hey. Listen, I don't want to jinx this, but something tells me I'm going to be buying your team a round of drinks when this is over.
Aaron Hotchner: I think he's getting his memory back.
----------
Lidia: I'll get you undone so you can change… You okay?
Brian Matloff: A lot on my mind.
----------
Aaron Hotchner: He was crying in there, when his mother was on the stand and you don't have that kind of reaction unless you're connected.
----------
Brian Matloff: You been watching the trial?
Lidia: Most of it, yeah.
Brian Matloff: Today when my mother talked about having to choose one life... Do you believe that's true? Don't you think you'd have to choose?
Lidia: Maybe you're right, but...
Brian Matloff: The fact is it doesn't really matter anymore.
----------
Cece Hillenbrand: Doesn't it? I mean, don't you want to know who you're putting away?
Aaron Hotchner: Heading over there now.
Security guard: Stand back, people.
Cece Hillenbrand: What's going on?
----------
Aaron Hotchner: Excuse me. Are you okay? What happened?
Lidia: He has my gun.
----------
Officer: She's a law clerk. Matloff stuck a gun in her face, pulled her out of her car, late model Nissan.
Aaron Hotchner: And you put out an APB?
Officer: Statewide. We'll block every road out of town.
Aaron Hotchner: Don't forget service roads. He knows them all.
Officer: You know this guy, right? Any idea where he might be headed?
Spencer Reid: All depends on who he is.
Aaron Hotchner: Hey. Hey! Did you know?
Lester Serling: Know what?
Aaron Hotchner: You talked to Matloff every day. Did you know that his memory was coming back?
Lester Serling: I don't have any idea what you're talking about.
Spencer Reid: He can't help us. Matloff is a paranoid personality. Even if he was aware he wouldn't have told anyone.
Aaron Hotchner: Get over to the jail and into his cell. Just look for anything, any clue that might tell us where he's headed.
----------
Aaron Hotchner: Assuming his memory is coming back, where's he headed?
Derek Morgan: Simple answer's his birth mother. His victims were brunettes. Typology suggests that he was projecting rage at her.
Aaron Hotchner: That's not an option. She's with us, protected.
David Rossi: If he doesn't have a specific target, he'll either run or go on a spree.
Emily Prentiss: Did we do this? The brain test? Reintroducing all those memories? Is it possible that it could have acted as a cognitive rehabilitation?
David Rossi: This guy is who he is. That's got nothing to do with us.
----------
Spencer Reid: Hotch, I think I know where he's going.
----------
Spencer Reid: Any sign of him?
Aaron Hotchner: He's got about a half-hour head start on us.
Spencer Reid: There's a waterfall near the site where we found Darci Corbett's body.
Officer: Yeah, that's Linville falls.
Aaron Hotchner: That's where we need to go.
Officer: Figured this guy would have headed straight out of town. Why'd he come back here?
Aaron Hotchner: He's looking for something.
Officer: For what?
Aaron Hotchner: Himself.
----------
Aaron Hotchner: That's him. Glasses… It's him. He's got a girl with him and she's not moving.
Officer: All right, let's move in.
Spencer Reid: No, wait. If we rush him, he might try to kill her and himself.
Officer: How do you want to do this?
Aaron Hotchner: I want to go in there myself. Get your shooters high and wide.
Spencer Reid: Think he's gonna shoot his way out?
Aaron Hotchner: Well, I don't want to be the only gun in there if he does.
----------
Victim: Please.
Aaron Hotchner: Brian. I want you to show me your hands. Hands, Brian!
Brian Matloff: Stop! Stop there, please.
Aaron Hotchner: Who is she?
Brian Matloff: She was my first… The minute my feet hit the ground, I knew right where to find her… I killed them.
Aaron Hotchner: You remember.
Brian Matloff: Everything… Every moment. Every... Tiny detail. I remember. But... It's still not real. It's like... The memories belong to someone else.
Aaron Hotchner: Well, maybe in a way they do. But you still have to pay for what's been done.
Brian Matloff: If I'm gonna be put to death, I might as well die right here.
Aaron Hotchner: Brian. The court may show you mercy, but you have to earn it. If you believe you're a different person, then prove it and do the right thing.
----------
Cece Hillenbrand: It's over. Matloff's pleading out.
Aaron Hotchner: Congratulations.
Cece Hillenbrand: I couldn't have done it without you. First round's on me.
Aaron Hotchner: No, we're gonna take a rain check. We got a long drive.
Cece Hillenbrand: Sure. Another time… Lock up when you leave.
Aaron Hotchner: We will.
Spencer Reid: Darci Corbett's father brought a gun to the courthouse today.
Aaron Hotchner: You're kidding. You think he was serious about using it?
Spencer Reid: I think so, yeah. He was looking for closure.
Aaron Hotchner: You think he'll get some now?
Spencer Reid: I don't really think so. I mean, people's emotional lives aren't linear like that. To say that a killer's conviction, one single event can just suddenly bring peace to a man, I don't-I just don't think it's possible.
Aaron Hotchner: Well, I guess he has to try. I mean, when it comes right down to it, what choice does he have?
----------
Mr. Corbett: Agent Reid.
Spencer Reid: Sorry, I, uh, i know it's late, but, um, I wanted to give you the news before it hit the paper. Matloff's changing his plea to guilty. Everyone agreed to life without parole.
Mr. Corbett: You didn't have to come here.
Spencer Reid: I also came to return this. I had them release it from evidence.
Mr. Corbett: It belonged to Darci's grandmother. They were very close.
Spencer Reid: I couldn't help but notice the inscription on the back. "Glory in a flower"? I'm not familiar.
Mr. Corbett: Poetry was something they shared. It's words Worth. "What though the radiance that was once so bright be now forever taken from my sight... Though nothing can... Bring back... " Thanks.
----------
Spencer Reid: "Though nothing can bring back the hour of splendour in the grass, of glory in the flower, we will grieve not, rather find strength in what remains behind."
