Quotes
-
Emily Prentiss : So, when did your family move here?
Jimmy Barrett : I don't remember.
Emily Prentiss : Grade school? Middle school?
Jimmy Barrett : Fifth grade.
Emily Prentiss : So you were... ten. That's the year you met Syd.
Jimmy Barrett : How does any of this have to do with that girl?
Aaron Hotchner : [watching in the observation room] He never mentions her by name.
Detective Mathias : Why not?
Aaron Hotchner : He's distancing himself. Depersonalizing the victim.
-
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.
-
Detective Mathias : They haven't left. The mayor personally set them up with a penthouse suite at the Harrison Grand, but they won't go.
Jennifer 'JJ' Jareau : They can't. You're their only source of information. To be even a minute away would add to their torture.
Detective Mathias : I've kept them away from the suspects. Now, I don't get why you want them together.
Aaron Hotchner : Trust me.
-
Detective Mathias : Hit the national news yesterday. A lot of pressure. The mayor would rather have a great white attacking than a homicide.
Aaron Hotchner : Sure. Well, a shark attack makes the mayor a victim. A killer makes him responsible.
Detective Mathias : Once she got into that car, we have no idea what happened.
Aaron Hotchner : Well, the suspects' stories hold up. They've told them dozens of times without variation. There's got to be some truth in them.
-
Detective Mathias : Syd Pearson is a handful. Uh, Jimmy Barrett is dumber than a box full of rocks.
Aaron Hotchner : But they've been friends all their lives.
Detective Mathias : Yeah, go figure.
Aaron Hotchner : There's gotta be a reason.
Detective Mathias : Well, they've only been out of their holding cells to be interrogated or to use the john.
Aaron Hotchner : You've got video?
Detective Mathias : Yeah, we got cameras in both rooms.
Aaron Hotchner : Good. We'll have to rely on nonverbal cues. That'll expose their weaknesses.
-
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 : You guys hear that? Barrett just asked for a polygraph.
Detective Mathias : You're kidding me. Him, too?
-
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.
