"All changes, even the most longed for, have their melancholy; for what we leave behind us is a part of ourselves; we must die to one life before we can enter another." Anatole France
[looking at a piece of paper] It's remarkable. Something like this makes you question everything you thought you knew.
Yeah. It's like the Monolith in 2001.
So there was actually a time when something like this was socially acceptable?
Oh... you're young. [takes the paper from Reid] The eighties left a lot of people confused.
[a photo of Prentiss from high school is revealed]
This is, uh, especially sad, though.
All right, very funny, you guys. Very funny. [snatches the paper from Garcia] What'd you do to it?
Do?
You obviously altered it in Photoshop or something. [shows the photo to Garcia] That hair?
Oh, no, Pussycat. That - that's all you. Garfield High, Class of '89.
[looking at the photo again] You really didn't change anything?
I hacked it, as is. You're seriously trying to tell me you don't remember rocking that look?
Perhaps your lack of recognition stems from a dissociative fugue suffered in adolescence. Say, at a Siouxsie and the Banshees concert?
[Garcia laughs]
[Hotch is on the stand being questioned by the defense attorney, Lester Serling]
LSLester Serling
Fact is, behavioral analysis is really just intellectual guesswork. You probably couldn't tell me the color of my socks with any greater accuracy than a carnival psychic.
CHCece Hillenbrand
[standing] Objection.
LSLester Serling
Withdrawn.
[Not expecting an answer, Serling turns away from Hotch to head back to his seat]
Charcoal gray.
[Serling, surprised that Hotch provided an answer, turns around and lifts his pants to reveal his socks, at which he points]
LSLester Serling
[sarcastically] Well look at that. He got one right.
You match them to the color of your suit to appear taller. You also wear lifts, and you've had the soles of your shoes replaced. One might think you're frugal, but in fact you're having financial difficulties. You wear a fake Rolex because you pawned the real one to pay your debts, my guess is to a bookie.
LSLester Serling
I took this case pro bono. I am one of the most successful criminal attorneys in the state.
Your vice is horses. Your BlackBerry's been buzzing on the table every twenty minutes, which happens to be the average time between posts from Colonial Downs. You're getting race results, and every time you do it affects your mood in court, and you're not having a very good day. That's because you pick horses the same way you practice law: by always taking the long shot.
LSLester Serling
Well, you spin a very good yarn, agent, but as usual you've proven nothing.
[looking at his watch] If I'm not mistaken, the results from the fifth race should be coming through any minute.
[Serling's BlackBerry on the table starts to buzz]
Why don't you tell us if your luck has changed?
LSLester Serling
Your Honor, this is...
JJudge
What do you want me to do? Either show us your BlackBerry or cut him loose, counselor.
[Serling ponders the question for a second]
LSLester Serling
Nothing further.
JJudge
Wise decision.
[On the phone] Right! 54, native American. Ma'am, I have all that. Look...
[JJ enters]
All I really need now is identifying information.
[Garcia shakes no to JJ]
Yes, I... I know what a closed adoption means. Do you know what a court order means?
[Whispers] We don't have time for a court order
You know what ma'am? I am done being nice! If you look to your cursor, you'll notice it's moving on its own. That's me hacking your secure network. Now I got her file, now I got her social and now, cause you're grumpy, I'm gonna send your boss these Jamaican vacation photos. Check you out, no tan lines!
CMr. Corbett
Agent Reid?
Sorry, I know it's late, but, um, I wanted to give you the news before it hit the paper. Matloff's changing his plea to guilty. Everyone agreed to life without parole.
CMr. Corbett
You didn't have to come here.
I also came to return this. [hands Mr. Corbett his daughter's watch] I had them release it from evidence.
CMr. Corbett
It belonged to Darci's grandmother. They're very close.
I couldn't help but notice the inscription on the back. "Glory in the flower"? I'm not familiar.
CMr. Corbett
Poetry was something they shared. It's Wordsworth. "What though the radiance that was once so bright, be now forever taken from my sight. Though nothing can... bring back..." [sighs wearily] Thanks. [closes the door]
[continues to recite the poem in voiceover as he walks back to the car] "Though nothing can bring back the hour of splendor in the grass, of glory in the flower, we will grieve not, rather find strength in what remains behind."
Voltaire said, "The man visited by ecstasies and visions, who takes dreams for realities, is an enthusiast. The man who supports his madness with murder is a fanatic."
[while entering the plane] How come I only get to travel with you guys only like every two years?
Trust me mama, it can get old.
Oh, right, like the way spa treatments in five star hotels can get old.
Remember the time we got on-board and they hadn't chilled the Cristal?
Oh, I almost quit the BAU that day!
Hey, you know what? You guys can joke all you like, 'cause I am never leaving this plane!
I'd like to get a map of the borough. I want to a comprehensive geographical profile of the area in order to ascertain the unsub's mental map before it's clouded by our own linkage blindness.
BDetective Brustin
[Looking at Reid] I see you brought your own computer.
[about telling off SSA Joyner] I know, I was out of line.
You get too emotionally involved sometimes. I know the feeling.
I just felt like Hotch was taking her side.
There are no sides here.
I know.
The word is, they have an eye on you if SSA Joyner gets canned. People talk. But if she were to get fired, it would be because we didn't solve this case.
Rossi, I hope you're not saying you think I want her to fail.
Of course not. But I've never seen you push a superior like that before. So would you take the job?
I don't know. It might be nice to finally be the one making the calls.
And dealing with the politics of running a field office? That doesn't seem like you.
BAU wears people out, man. Look at Gideon. That man was the best, and in the end, he simply ran away. I mean, Hotch hasn't even thought about cracking a smile in over a year. That man has to take a personal day just so he can have a conversation with his own kid. What about you? How many times you been married?
I get it. But I'll make you a deal. If I think you're losing it, I'll pull you out myself. But right now, I see someone who wants to get back on the job. Or is there another reason why you haven't even touched that beer?
Who in the hell thinks they can get away with murder in the middle of the day in New York City?
Someone patient, who waits for the one who gets separated from the flock.
[pantomimes holding a gun to Rossi's head] Bang.
Is that the spot?
BDetective Brustin
Yeah, thereabouts.
Are we boring you? Look, I know you don't like SSA Joyner. Fine, I get it. But we're here to do a job.
BDetective Brustin
Have any of your people ever been cops?
Chicago.
BDetective Brustin
Then you'll understand. I take it real personal if something like this happens in my city. I was a beat cop during the Son of Sam. This is worse. He's not just going after one type; he's going after everybody. And I need everybody working on this case taking it personally.
You have that.
BDetective Brustin
We'll see.
