Quotes 

• Derek Morgan : Hotch, we can't lose her.

  Aaron Hotchner : Strauss thinks we're all replaceable. I went over her head to try to explain that we're not.

• Derek Morgan : Serial killers are kings of manipulation.

• Penelope Garcia : [watching Hotch's office]  JJ's still in there?

  Emily Prentiss : And Strauss.

  [Reid picks up a bottle of anatacids] 

  Emily Prentiss : Oh, again with the dairy?

  Dr. Spencer Reid : I can't help it. I love dairy.

  Penelope Garcia : It's been like, what, twenty minutes?

  Derek Morgan : Well, ten more minutes, we're in the air.

  Emily Prentiss : I don't think it's about the case.

• Jennifer 'JJ' Jareau : I got this offer from the Pentagon. I turned it down twice. I never told Hotch or Strauss.

  Derek Morgan : And now Strauss wants you to take it.

  [JJ nods] 

  Derek Morgan : Well, of course she does. It'll make her look good if you get promoted.

  Jennifer 'JJ' Jareau : I don't trust her for a second.

  Emily Prentiss : You shouldn't. What does Hotch think?

  Jennifer 'JJ' Jareau : He knows I don't want to go.

  Emily Prentiss : Well, then you won't.

• Derek Morgan : Your statement says that you and Jimmy first met Kate on Friday night. These are Kate's credit card receipts. Her and her friends rented a ski jet from Jimmy Friday morning.

  Syd Pearson : Mm-hmm. He gets a hundred customers a day.

  Derek Morgan : Yeah, but come on, man. I doubt they all look like Kate, now, do they? Hmm? I mean, isn't that really why Jimmy texted you Friday morning? Woke you up and said "Hey, man, you gotta get down here and see this girl." And you liked what you saw, didn't you? You invite her to the club, and maybe that would have been all right, but the problem is, when you and Jimmy get together, it's nothing but trouble.

  Syd Pearson : Mm-hmm.

  Derek Morgan : And when you add a girl to that mix, she didn't stand a chance, did she? Just like Kelly Graybeal.

  Syd Pearson : Who?

  Derek Morgan : Last summer. She filed a complaint, but lucky for you she dropped all the charges.

  Syd Pearson : Look, man, we could do this for another, I don't know, whatever you got left. Or I could make it real simple for you. Give me a polygraph.

  Derek Morgan : After 65 hours of sitting in here, you want a polygraph?

  Syd Pearson : Well, that depends.

  Derek Morgan : On what?

  Syd Pearson : Are you gonna ask me the questions? 'Cause I was really hoping you'd send that pretty one back in here.

• Detective Mathias : So, what if they didn't do it? Then we're back to nothing?

  Aaron Hotchner : One of them knows where Kate is.

  Detective Mathias : How can you be sure?

  Derek Morgan : Because an innocent person doesn't sit quietly for three days. They get angry and defensive.

  Aaron Hotchner : These guys are going out of their way to appear calm and in control. They've got something to hide.

• Derek Morgan : You didn't do anything? You gave me some pretty graphic details.

  Syd Pearson : Oh, don't get me wrong. My DNA is... all over that girl, but, uh, that doesn't mean I killed her. I got pictures.

  Derek Morgan : What?

  Syd Pearson : On my cell. You want to see?

  David Rossi : You're giving us consent?

  Derek Morgan : [calling to a cop in the hall]  Give me this guy's property! Now!

• Derek Morgan : [Rossi is watching news reports of the case]  They've had suspects in custody the whole time, but nothing.

  David Rossi : Can't even charge them with anything unless they find her body.

  Derek Morgan : What are the chances of that?

• Derek Morgan : How long have they been in custody?

  Aaron Hotchner : 60 hours. We have twelve hours to get a confession or find the body.

  Dr. Spencer Reid : Syd Pearson has a lot of money and connections. If we let him go, we may never see him again.

  Emily Prentiss : And Barrett?

  Dr. Spencer Reid : He doesn't have the same resources.

• Penelope Garcia : Do you think these guys did it?

  Aaron Hotchner : The locals do.

  David Rossi : Tried to get them to turn against one another, but that didn't work.

  Dr. Spencer Reid : It seems they have a bond that dates back to childhood.

  Derek Morgan : We only have a thirty-minute flight. That's not enough time to delve into their histories.

  Penelope Garcia : [passing out hard copies]  Bullet points on the missing woman. Second and third pages are all about the suspects.

  Aaron Hotchner : Garcia, we're gonna need phone records, credit card receipts, anything you can find.

  Penelope Garcia : Yes, you'll have them when you get there.

• Jennifer 'JJ' Jareau : Kate Joyce, nineteen years old, was last seen leaving a bar with these two men, Sydney Pearson and James Barrett, both twenty years old. She was reported missing the next morning when she didn't meet her friends. That was almost three days ago.

  David Rossi : Their story is they dropped Kate at the motel, but there were no cameras to confirm that.

  Aaron Hotchner : And Search and Rescue's been all over the island.

  Dr. Spencer Reid : Dragged the inlet and they found absolutely nothing.

  Jennifer 'JJ' Jareau : Both said they had sex with Kate. They're claiming it was consensual.

  Emily Prentiss : There's no way to confirm. There's no body.

  Derek Morgan : I doubt it was consensual.

  David Rossi : We've got to prove they're guilty of more than just being seen with her.

  Derek Morgan : Well, the police weren't able to find any holes in their stories. So we're gonna have to break them down psychologically.

  Aaron Hotchner : Morgan, I want you and Prentiss to lead the interrogation. Dave, you and Reid start at the bar. JJ, Kate Joyce's family is still at the station.

  Jennifer 'JJ' Jareau : Still? For three days?

  Aaron Hotchner : They never went to the hotel. I want you to stay with them.

• Jeff Joyce : [confronting Syd and Jimmy]  Hey, you. What'd you do with Kate?

  Syd Pearson : [the cops in the room separate them]  Calm down, man.

  Jeff Joyce : I will kill you, you understand? You understand me?

  Syd Pearson : Keep them away from me.

  Aaron Hotchner : [watching as they're led out]  Barrett avoided conflict. Pearson was provocative.

  Derek Morgan : The blond one's getting off on this.

  Emily Prentiss : Well, if he knows where Kate is, that's his power.

• Detective Mathias : What the hell was that?

  Aaron Hotchner : Just trying to establish some trust.

  Detective Mathias : Uh-huh. You gonna ask the other one, too?

  Emily Prentiss : No.

  Detective Mathias : And, what, you're not going in there?

  Aaron Hotchner : Not yet.

  Detective Mathias : Hmm. Really? You know, we don't have a whole lot of time here.

  Aaron Hotchner : They've been slammed with the same questions for the last two and a half days. We go in there with that strategy, we'll get nowhere.

  Detective Mathias : I don't get it.

  Derek Morgan : If we go in there now, they have all the power.

  Detective Mathias : So, what, we just, uh, wait?

  Aaron Hotchner : For a while.

• Emily Prentiss : Naughty boys.

  Derek Morgan : Shoplifting, vandalism, burned a house down.

  Emily Prentiss : Abandoned building. Fireworks.

  Derek Morgan : Assault charges were dropped last summer.

  Emily Prentiss : Well, it looks like they bring out the worst in each other.

• Derek Morgan : My name's Derek Morgan. I'm with the FBI's Behavioral Analysis Unit. What'd you do?

  Syd Pearson : [indicating his sprained wrist]  Oh, I had this before Friday night.

  Derek Morgan : That's not what I asked you.

  Syd Pearson : But I know what you're thinking.

  Derek Morgan : I hightly doubt that.

• Derek Morgan : Wow. Division I lacross player. Obviously left-handed.

  Syd Pearson : Broke it in three places.

  Derek Morgan : Ooh. That sucks. I bet you're a force. Too bad you didn't dominate the way they hoped, though. Why not? I mean, what happened? Were you still hung up on the Chapel Hill rejection? I mean, especially after you told everybody that you were gonna go. I mean, damn, that's gotta sting a little bit. What's the deal?

  Syd Pearson : Isn't it all in your little file?

  Derek Morgan : Well, let's see.

  [opening the folder] 

  Derek Morgan : My little file says... you cheated on your SATs and you had your girlfriend take them for you. That's another hard lesson, isn't it? You can't trust anybody to keep their mouth shut. Why haven't you lawyered up?

  Syd Pearson : I haven't done anything wrong.

• Detective Mathias : Serial killers? Uh, there's only one potential victim.

  Aaron Hotchner : Serial killing is a qualitative characteristic. It's not just about numbers.

  Derek Morgan : They've assaulted at least one girl before. It was only a matter of time before they did it again.

  Emily Prentiss : Barrett's a perfect match for Pearson. His family uprooted from the city, forcing him to adapt to his new surroundings. He's eager to fit in and quick to follow.

  Derek Morgan : And Pearson's definitely got the dominant traits. He's loud, he's physical, he's smart, he's charismatic, and he's privileged.

  David Rossi : Sounds like a peach.

  Aaron Hotchner : You should talk to him.

  David Rossi : Love to.

• David Rossi : Sydney Xavier Pearson. A name like that didn't come with manners? A gentleman walks a lady to the door.

  Syd Pearson : Mm, she wasn't much of a lady.

  David Rossi : Watch your mouth.

  Syd Pearson : The girl was horny, man. I mean, she practically begged me for it.

  David Rossi : That's a bunch of bull...

  Derek Morgan : [bursting in with a polygraph result]  The son of a bitch passed. How? How'd you do it?

  David Rossi : Little bastard believes his lies are the truth. Takes a few deep breaths and passes.

  Syd Pearson : Old-timer's kind of dramatic, isn't he? You know, it's actually much simpler than that. You see, uh, I didn't actually do anything to her.
