“Unfinished Business” quotes from Criminal Minds

JJ

[while discussing evidence against Morgan] This is all just coincidence.

A hell of a lot of coincidences.

Gideon

We're dealing with a desperate detective here. Three dead boys and no evidence at all. So he applies the profile directly to someone he already suspected. It's easy to get tunnel vision that way.

Reid

"One begins to twist facts to suit theories, instead of theories to suit facts." It's one of Sherlock Holmes' favorite quotes.

Gideon

We need to figure out who really killed these boys before they decide to charge Morgan.

Prentiss

What do you want us to do?

Gideon

The last victim was someone Morgan was seen with. Conveniently, Morgan was already a suspect in the other two.

Prentiss

Someone set him up?

Gideon

We should consider Morgan a victim. Prentiss, you and Reid talk to his family, learn about him, especially around the time of the first murder.

Hotchner

We can't have people on this team who have secrets.

Gideon

Come on, Hotch. We all have secrets. Would you want us profiling you?

Morgan

You trying to say something to me right now.

Gideon

Only if you're hiding something. You need to trust us. Trust us enough to tell us about it.

Morgan

Gideon, it's not about trust. It's about having a little privacy. I got the right to keep something to myself. Look at us, man. We practically live together already.

[about molesting Morgan as a child] Derek, I never hurt you. You could have said no.

I pulled you out of the gutter.

Morgan

I pulled myself out of the gutter! All the way to the FBI! I DID THAT!

Are you saying I had nothing to do with making you who you are?

Morgan

No, Carl. Actually, I'm saying that you have everything to do with making me who I am. Because of you, I'm somebody who gets to spend the rest of this life making sure that guys like you go down.

Gideon

Aristotle said, "Evil brings men together."

Frank

[to Morgan] Beauty can cover a multitude of sins, but underneath we all look exactly the same.

Gideon

[opening a bag with a head inside] Who is this?

Frank

I believe the correct question would be "Who was this?"

You are a crazy son of a bitch.

Frank

We are all sons of bitches.

Reid

To get away with murder, you simply don't tell anyone.

Prentiss

The only people he told were the people he killed. And then he took from them what he needed: cash, credit cards...

Reid

I'm going to call Garcia and see if anything Catherine Hale owned was used after her death. [dials phone]

Prentiss

[to herself] And then he moved on to his next victim.

Frank

My hope is that one day you'll feel the way I do too.

Gideon

If I ever find myself feeling the way you do, I'll kill myself.

Frank

Call me first. I'd love to pick your brains.

911, what's your emergency?

Tobias

[whispering] I'm at 1527 Chestnut Drive.

I know where you're calling from, sir. What's your emergency?

Tobias

Th-They are too greedy. They have too much.

Too much what?

Tobias

Stuff, p-possessions, things they don't need.

Are you calling because these people have too much stuff, sir?

Tobias

No, I'm calling because Raphael... [as Raphael] That's enough. [as himself] I don't want to! [as Raphael] He's calling because Raphael is going to kill the sinners that live here.

I'm sorry, did you say somebody is killing someone? [no response] Sir? Hello? Hello? [a scream is heard in the background]

Prentiss

[watching Morgan dance between two women] Hey, Morgan, be careful. The one in the back could take your wallet!

Morgan

That's all right. I'll be a broke, happy man!

Gideon

Condemned murderer Perry Smith said of his victims, the Clutter family, "I didn't have anything against them, and they never did anything wrong to me, the way other people have all my life. Maybe they're just the ones who have to pay for it."

Reid

Referring to oneself in the third person is not uncommon for an unsub. Ted Bundy gave thoroughly detailed accounts of his murders, but he never actually admitted doing any of them, he'd just say, "the killer."
