How are you enjoying your assignment to the BAU?
Well, enjoying is an odd description.
Is it?
Well, we, um, deal with some pretty horrible things.
I thought that was where you wanted to be.
It is, definitely.
Then you do enjoy it.
[to Gideon and Reid] Would you like something to eat? This borscht is exquisite. It's my mother's old country recipe.
Didn't you forsake all your relatives when you swore the Thieves' Code?
I didn't forsake her recipes.
Natalya was a part of this.
How did I not see this coming?
How could any of us, man? She sought us out. We were so blinded by the fact that she trusted us, we never considered not trusting her.

(Brings beer and Brad from the bar) Ladies, this is Brad! A real FBI agent!
Really?
Really!
No way!
That's exciting! What's it like in Quantico?
It's, eh, quite impressive!
What department are you in?
That's classified.
Oh (winking at Garcia and Prentiss) it must be really tough keeping all those secrets.
It's a skill like anything else. Carpenters are good at building stuff, measuring. FBI is good at keeping secrets and kicking criminal ass!
Well, somebody has to do it! Oh, do you have to carry your gun and badge with you everywhere you go?
Affirmative.
Can we see it?
See what?
Your badge.
Please.
I am sorry, that's...
Classified, of course.
(takes out her badge) Tell me Brad, does it look anything like this?
(takes out her badge) Or, uh, this?
(takes out her badge) Or maybe this?
(Brad walks away)
Broken nose, and bark's embedded in his face; looks like he ran into a tree.
Now how do you miss a huge tree?
Too busy looking behind you.
"One man's wilderness is another man's theme park." Author unknown
Most hunters put animals out of their misery. The men we're looking for - they don't show any mercy.
These guys take pleasure in watching their casualties die a slow death.
British historian James Anthony Froude once said, "Wild animals never kill for sport. Man is the only one to whom the torture and death of his fellow creatures is amusing in itself."
What's this?
It's genius
You have Chaplin on film?
My great-granddad was an accountant at one of the first movie studios
He lived in California?
No, no, no, Chicago. Essanay Studios, closed 1920. Back then, 4 out of 5 movies made in US were made in Chicago. They closed down, they let my grandfather take a... , eh, a couple of extra prints home
They "let" him?
Well, that's a family story, we're sticking to it
"Of all the preposterous assumptions of humanity, nothing exceeds the criticisms made of the habits of the poor by the well-housed, well-warmed, and well-fed." Herman Melville
What was it the Yorkshire Ripper said about his victims?
The women I killed were filth. Bastard prostitutes that were littering the streets; I was just cleaning up the place a bit.
[about the unsub] He's a house cleaner.
Mission-based killer who believes his murders are helping society.
I can't believe he did this.
Well Detective Mcgee is pretty sure that these people are missing, sir.
[Scoffs] No Detective McGee is...
A little obsessive-compulsive?
Oh, you noticed that, huh?
Doesn't mean he can't be a good cop.
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.
Look, I'm sorry he got you to travel all the way here.
Sir, we're happy to help with the problem.
What problem?
Sir, 63 people missing from a localized area is unusual.
Are you kiddin' me? Bums, whores, junkies. Can these people even be missing?
You seem hostile to the idea that these people could be in trouble.
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.
You know, the note her received could be an Unsub reaching out. It's not uncommon.
Or it could be another cop who's pissed off that McGee got an award.
Sir, this type of Unsub is relatively easy to catch. Nobody else has to get hurt.
As far as I know no one has been hurt.
Sir, I have some experience in this field, and I believe that your problem's only going to get worse.
Oh, well, thank you. we'll keep an eye on that. You have a safe trip home.
What if they were cheerleaders?
Excuse me?
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.
Hotch, it's federal.
What?
If we want this case, it's ours. It's federal. This letter came from across the river, from Kansas City, Missouri.
Interstate communication.
Puts it in federal jurisdiction.
[to Captain Wright] Sir, this is now a federal case. I would like to retain Detective McGee as a consultant.
Whoa, whoa. You're not opening any investigations in my jurisdiction.
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.
And why would you do that?
Because that's how we operate.
