- Derek Morgan: So tell me, what does keep young Dr. Reid awake at night? Wait, let me guess. Memorizing some obscure textbook? No, no, no. Working on cold fusion? No, I got it, I got it, I got it. Watching Star Trek and laughing at the physics mistakes.
- Dr. Spencer Reid: Actually, there aren't that many scientific errors in Star Trek. Especially considering how long ago it was made. There are certain improbabilities, but not that many outright errors.
- Derek Morgan: Right.
- Dr. Spencer Reid: Morgan. You knew I didn't want you to tell Hotch about my nightmares.
- Derek Morgan: Reid, that's something they need to know about.
- Dr. Spencer Reid: What do you mean "they"?
- Derek Morgan: Hotch and Gideon.
- Dr. Spencer Reid: You told Gideon, too?
- Derek Morgan: Yeah. And it's okay, kid.
- Dr. Spencer Reid: Well, wh... what if they think I can't do my job? What if... what if they want to pull me off the team?
- Derek Morgan: They won't.
- Dr. Spencer Reid: Oh, yeah? How do you know that?
- Derek Morgan: [frustrated sigh] I just do.
- Dr. Spencer Reid: You had no right, man. I... I confided in you. This is... you know, this is exactly what I get when I trust someone. It gets thrown back in my face.
- Derek Morgan: Mine started six months after I got into the BAU. Yeah. Mine. We were working a strangler case in Montana. Four victims. Me, I was still pretty young at the time, so, you know, I was feeling myself. I was cocky, I was arrogant. The locals, they didn't have anything, so I stepped up. I said 'I can nail down a profile for you just as soon as I get what I need.'
- Dr. Spencer Reid: More victims.
- Derek Morgan: Mm-hmm. She was found the next day. So I went down to the scene to do my thing. And as I was looking over the body, that's when I saw them. Her eyes, Reid. They were wide open. And there was something different about them, it was like they were looking right at *me*. Like she knew. I asked for a victim; well, here she was. That's when they started for me. Night after night, I would fall asleep, and I would see those eyes. They were dead eyes. Accusing eyes. And it got to the point where it was happening even when I wasn't asleep. Reid, everywhere I went, I saw those eyes.
- Dr. Spencer Reid: What'd you do?
- Derek Morgan: Gideon. He knew. I didn't tell him. I was like you, I didn't want anybody to know. He just... he knew. And he sat me down and he... he just kind of talked me through it. I still have the nightmares to this day, just not nearly as often. But when they come back, I know how to handle them better.
- Jason Gideon: Sir Peter Ustinov said, "Unfortunately, a superabundance of dreams is paid for by a growing potential for nightmares."
- [Reid is pouring piles of sugar into his coffee]
- Derek Morgan: Easy there tough guy. Have some coffee with your sugar.
- Dr. Spencer Reid: I need something to wake me up.
- Derek Morgan: Ooh, late night?
- Dr. Spencer Reid: Very.
- Derek Morgan: My man!
- Dr. Spencer Reid: Not that kind of late night!
- [Morgan just saved Reid from a teenaged unsub who had a gun pointed at Reid's head]
- Dr. Spencer Reid: What happened?
- [As he pins the unsub to the ground]
- Derek Morgan: Him bringing us down here was way too much of a coincidence.
- Dr. Spencer Reid: No, I got that. Did you have to tackle us both?
- Derek Morgan: You're welcome Reid.
- Deputy Harris: You guys need anything?
- Dr. Spencer Reid: Coffee would be nice.
- Derek Morgan: He takes about a quart of sugar in it.
- Dr. Spencer Reid: Melted wax?
- Jennifer "JJ" Jareau: Candle wax?
- Dr. Spencer Reid: Candles are used in rituals.
- Jason Gideon: They're also used on birthday cakes.
- Dr. Spencer Reid: Actually, they were originally used to protect the birthday celebrant from demons for the coming year. As a matter of fact, down to the fourth century, Christianity rejected the birthday celebration as a Pagan ritual.
- Sheriff Bridges: What kind of a doctor are you?
- Jason Gideon: Playwright Eugene Ionescu said, "Ideologies separate us. Dreams and anguish bring us together."
- Brandi Dreifort: You're one of the FBI agents, aren't you?
- Jason Gideon: Is there something you want to tell me?
- Brandi Dreifort: Do you think God is vengeful?
- Jason Gideon: I don't know.
- Brandi Dreifort: You don't think He punishes us?
- Jason Gideon: After Hurricane Katrina, I read some essays by religious scholars. One writer said God was punishing America for its immorality; New Orleans was a wicked city, like Sodom and Gomorrah. Another one, a priest from New Orleans, he thought the hurricane was proof of God's love, 'cause the levees didn't break until after the storm was over. If they'd broken sooner, thousands would've died. So... I guess the answer to your question depends on whether or not you think you have something to be punished for.
- [after finding out the local kids found a dead body in the woods and watched it decompose over a long period of time without reporting anything]
- Jason Gideon: This was a human being!
- Jason Gideon: Most of the satanism we've seen is juveniles damaging property, desecrating churches, cemeteries. To my knowledge, there's never been a proven case of a satanic ritual killing in the United States.
- [last lines]
- Jason Gideon: Reid. Deborah Louise Addison. Her husband Tim. Kids are Amber and Keith. Eight and six. 1985, Deborah Louise was walking home from school. She was abducted. She was 13. We profiled the unsub, and we were able to locate her before he harmed her. She writes a letter to the BAU every year. She updates us on her life.
- Dr. Spencer Reid: It's nice, but...
- Jason Gideon: We all have bad dreams. Everyone on the plane. Who wouldn't? We hunt the worst of humanity, we see the depths of depravity, we dream of monsters.
- Dr. Spencer Reid: In my dream, there's a baby in the middle of a circle, and there's, uh, someone on the other side. And I can't get to her before...
- Jason Gideon: Every night, I look at Deborah. Helps me... helps me go to sleep thinking of the victims we've saved. We don't always beat the monsters to the babies, but we do enough to make the job worth it, keep the nightmares bearable.
- Aaron Hotchner: Contrary to popular belief, there has never been a proven case of satanic ritual killing. Never a verified human sacrifice. Having said that, there have been isolated cases of animal sacrifice... and many, many cases of vandalism in the name of Satan.
- Derek Morgan: Now, that doesn't mean that ritual satanism is impossible. And more importantly, for our purposes, there have been cults that killed, just not in ritual fashion.
- Dr. Spencer Reid: The reverend Jim Jones and the Peoples Temple... his followers killed a U.S. Congressman and three people before committing mass suicide, leaving over nine hundred people dead. And, perhaps, the most widely-known of the killer cults: the Manson Family, under the direction of Charles Manson, killed nine people in a four day period in an attempt to initiate a race war.
- Elle Greenaway: Killer cults do exist, and they all have one thing in common: invariably, they're headed by charismatic megalomaniacs.
- Dr. Spencer Reid: You're looking for that leader. He's who will stand out. He'll be memorable to somebody; people who aren't in his group will see him as strange, weird, scary.
- Aaron Hotchner: Since we're dealing with professed satanists, which is often practiced by younger males, we may be looking for teenagers. Heavy metal music is often associated with satanism, and these kids and their leader may reflect that in their look.
- Derek Morgan: Most likely, there'll be sex, drugs, and alcohol. Now, the leader, he'll be older. It's part of his charm.
- Aaron Hotchner: And he is from this area. He's definitely local.
- Elle Greenaway: These woods are too thick and confusing for a visitor to get around in.
- Sheriff Bridges: You think one of our own people is doing this?
- Aaron Hotchner: We're sure of it.
- Jason Gideon: Are there any cults in the area that you know about? Secret groups, people you see you don't know much about, people who stay to themselves mostly.
- Sheriff Bridges: This is a very religious area, church on Sundays, fellowship on Wednesday, bible classes. If there was a secret group I'd probably know about it.
- Dr. Spencer Reid: That's an inherent contradiction.
- Sheriff Bridges: Excuse me?
- Jason Gideon: He means if there was a group being secretive you probably wouldn't know.
- Aaron Hotchner: [Seeing Reid yawn, doesn't look up from his notepad] Tired?
- Dr. Spencer Reid: I'm fine
- Aaron Hotchner: We all get them sometimes
- Dr. Spencer Reid: Get what?
- Aaron Hotchner: Nightmares
- Dr. Spencer Reid: [Glances at Derek] It's not that bad
- Aaron Hotchner: You want to talk about it, you know where I am
- Elle Greenaway: [looking at the search party volunteers] I grew up in Brooklyn. You couldn't get this many people out for anything less than free money.
- Jason Gideon: You have the sign-in sheets?
- Jennifer "JJ" Jareau: Yeah.
- Jason Gideon: Garcia standing by to do background checks on 'em all?
- Jennifer "JJ" Jareau: Yeah. I've got a deputy waiting to take me back to the station. I'm gonna fax her as soon as I get there.
- Jason Gideon: Good. This type of unsub can't resist injecting himself into a show like this. He's here with us.
- Adam Lloyd: You're out of shape, cheerleader
- Cherish Hanson: Oh yeah? Let's see you do three back flips and land in the splits!
- Henry Dent: My name's Henry
- Elle Greenaway: Well, then good for you, Henry. I'm Elle
- Henry Dent: Like the letter? Huh, that's a different kind of name
- Elle Greenaway: Had it all my life
- Henry Dent: Huh, that's funny: your whole life
- Penelope Garcia: One guy owns a bunch of shoe stores up and down the eastern seaboard
- Jennifer "JJ" Jareau: Is he married?
- Penelope Garcia: Yeah, story of my life, Sunshine
- Deputy #2: You want me to get the crime scene folks down here?
- Sheriff Bridges: Yeah
- [Investigates the crime scene further]
- Sheriff Bridges: Wait! Hold on! We're gonna need a whole lot more than the crime scene folks!
