Capt. Wright quotes from Criminal Minds

Capt. Wright

I can't believe he did this.

Hotchner

Well Detective Mcgee is pretty sure that these people are missing, sir.

Capt. Wright

[Scoffs] No Detective McGee is...

Hotchner

A little obsessive-compulsive?

Capt. Wright

Oh, you noticed that, huh?

Hotchner

Doesn't mean he can't be a good cop.

Capt. Wright

I thought assigning him to keep an eye on Skid Row would be harmless. Well, most of those people only cause trouble for each other.

Capt. Wright

Look, I'm sorry he got you to travel all the way here.

Hotchner

Sir, we're happy to help with the problem.

Capt. Wright

What problem?

Hotchner

Sir, 63 people missing from a localized area is unusual.

Capt. Wright

Are you kiddin' me? Bums, whores, junkies. Can these people even be missing?

Hotchner

You seem hostile to the idea that these people could be in trouble.

Capt. Wright

No, what I'm hostile to is a member my command recruiting the FBI to handle a case that I don't even believe is happening.

Hotchner

You know, the note her received could be an Unsub reaching out. It's not uncommon.

Capt. Wright

Or it could be another cop who's pissed off that McGee got an award.

Hotchner

Sir, this type of Unsub is relatively easy to catch. Nobody else has to get hurt.

Capt. Wright

As far as I know no one has been hurt.

Hotchner

Sir, I have some experience in this field, and I believe that your problem's only going to get worse.

Capt. Wright

Oh, well, thank you. we'll keep an eye on that. You have a safe trip home.

Hotchner

What if they were cheerleaders?

Capt. Wright

Excuse me?

Hotchner

Or teachers, or mothers? How did you put it, "Can bums even be missing?" Well, sir, they can. They can be hurt, they can be scared, and they can be killed.

J.J

Hotch, it's federal.

Hotchner

What?

J.J

If we want this case, it's ours. It's federal. This letter came from across the river, from Kansas City, Missouri.

Hotchner

Interstate communication.

J.J

Puts it in federal jurisdiction.

Hotchner

[to Captain Wright] Sir, this is now a federal case. I would like to retain Detective McGee as a consultant.

Capt. Wright

Whoa, whoa. You're not opening any investigations in my jurisdiction.

Hotchner

I don't wanna fight with you, even though this is a federal case. If we develop any information, I will come to you and your men will make the arrest.

Capt. Wright

And why would you do that?

Hotchner

Because that's how we operate.

Hotchner

We're going to provide a psychological profile of the man we're looking for. It contains some unusual, specific personality traits that someone out there is bound to recognize.

Gideon

Which will make him relatively easy to locate. Long-lasting, negative impression he leaves on anyone he might meet.

Morgan

We have a term for the killing behavior this unsub displays: cleaning house. Fixing what's wrong with the world.

Reid

He's deeply rationalized this behavior, and while he certainly knows the killing is wrong, he truly believes that he's doing the world a great service.

Morgan

Ultimately, this type of unsub becomes a loner. There won't be too many people that can still tolerate him. Now, if he does have a relationship at all, the person will not be his equal. It'll be someone subservient to him.

Reid

He'll be... fastidious, tending toward obsessive-compulsive disorder, and he'll have an overwhelming sense of indignation towards the things that he's judged to be wrong. He wouldn't even consider the reasons why someone might disagree with him.

He sounds like a real jagoff.

Morgan

Exactly. Class "A" scumbag.

Prentiss

Detective McGee started noticing the disappearances a year ago. The Unsub probably had a stressor at this time. The death of a family member, or someone who had some semblance of control over him. Right now, no one has control over him.

Reid

It's probable that he isn't currently working after this many victims and the devolution that it brings, a job just wouldn't leave him time to practice his true calling.

Capt. Wright

Which is...?

Hotchner

A predator. A killing machine. By now, it's become all he thinks about.

Reid

It's odd. If the Unsub were out here, he'd stand out. You know, people would recognize the description.

Prentiss

So where does that leave us?

Capt. Wright

Right where I thought we'd were.

Hotchner

Captain?

Capt. Wright

You said this guy would definitely be memorable. You were adamant. So if no one out here remembers him, according to you, he doesn't exist.

J.J

That's not exactly what we said.

Capt. Wright

It's what you implied.

Hotchner

What do you think happened to them, Captain?

Capt. Wright

I told you, I don't think anything happened to them.

Hotchner

Oh, that's right. You think they all got houses and jobs.
