I gave up on him. A year ago, I gave up on looking for him – there were so many other kids.

Katie, I'm sure you did what you could.

Do you ever ask yourself how you make a decision like that? How you come to the conclusion that it's time to move on to the next kid? I mean, how do you give yourself that kind of permission? What's happened to that boy in the year I stopped looking for him?

All right, guys, listen up, we might have something. 12 men were interviewed. Eight are back in prison, one is dead, one lives in California, and two have last-known addresses within 10 minutes of us: a Patrick Forest and a Michael Earlson.

Patrick Forest isn't smart enough to put this all together.

What about Michael Earlson?

Definitely.

You don't have to tell me that.

I don't want you to wake up some day in some random city and realize that you don't know your own son.

"Man is least himself when he talks in his own person. Give him a mask, and he will tell you the truth." Oscar Wilde

[reading the headline] Stripping Bandit. That's terrible. That makes it sound like the bandit's doing the stripping.

What would you call him?

Pervert.

Scumbag.

I'd call him an ass.

Hey, focus, please.

"The basis of shame is not some personal mistake of ours, but that this humiliation is seen by everyone." Milan Kundera

Helen Keller once said, "Although the world is full of suffering, it is also full of overcoming it."

You tend to forget, don't you?

What?

All the different moods on the plane. I think the mindset's different when the victims are still alive.

I thought maybe... you might want to talk.

Don't go all profiler on me.

Elle, you got shot in your own home, and then came back to the BAU like nothing even happened. Thinking you might want to talk isn't profiling, it's Psych 101.

Oh, one last favor. Look up the words "sexy" and "brilliant" in that computer of yours, and tell me what you come up with.
