Quotes 

• Jack Garrett : Clara, glad you're still taking my calls.

  Clara Seger : [they hug]  Oh, it's been a while. So let me guess: you have not learned Thai in all your spare time and you want me to translate.

  Jack Garrett : If all I needed was a translator, I could Google it. You've always been way more than that.

• Clara Seger : I don't think I've seen you out of scrubs. How do you like life in the sunshine?

  Mae Jarvis : Well, it beats the freezer. Yeah, turns out staring at dead bodies kind of took its toll.

• Clara Seger : Why do humans always find new ways of hurting one another?

• Jack Garrett : Do you miss it?

  Clara Seger : What, jet lag? Takeout? Dead plants at home?

  Jack Garrett : No, my driving.

  Clara Seger : [laughs]  I haven't done that for a while. So, apart from your excellent driving, do I miss what, exactly?

  Jack Garrett : Saving lives.

• Clara Seger : Our victim's remains tell us a lot about our unknown subject, or unsub.

  Officer Taksin : Yes, that he liked to use a knife.

  Clara Seger : It's more than that. He abducted three people, but he killed the male first.

  Mae Jarvis : And the time of death says that he did it right away.

  Officer Taksin : Why would he do that?

  Mae Jarvis : Most likely to get rid of competition and establish dominance.

  Officer Taksin : Has he killed the girls?

  Clara Seger : It's doubtful he's done that yet. He's a power-assertive offender who gets off on control. He'll wanna prolong that experience. And he's not gonna get rid of them until his psychological needs are met.

  Officer Taksin : How does any of this help us find him?

  Mae Jarvis : Because everything that he does gives us a clue to what makes him tick. He killed Jeff Little, but he carried his body down to the ravine, which contaminated any physical evidence. He's more criminally sophisticated than we thought.

  Clara Seger : He's violent, and hunting at night. Could be a learned behavior, and it also tells us that he doesn't have the social skills to pull off a ruse. You need to search for anyone recently released from prison and ask if anyone fits this behavioral pattern.

• Clara Seger : I've been out of the game too long, Jack. I'm sitting here feeling sorry for a man who killed an innocent kid. And he would have killed more if we hadn't have stopped him.

  Jack Garrett : You don't see it, do you?

  Clara Seger : That I'm soft? Yeah, I see it clearly.

  Jack Garrett : You're not. He was lonely and you connected to him, to the humanity in that moment.

  Clara Seger : Feeling alone? It's a horrible thing.

  Jack Garrett : You're not alone. You have people who love you.

  Clara Seger : I miss him. I miss him so much.

  Jack Garrett : Me, too.

  Clara Seger : So what are the chances that I would run into you just days before my two year Bureau sabbatical runs out?

  Jack Garrett : Well, it sounds like fate to me.

  Clara Seger : [laughs]  Yeah?

  Jack Garrett : You know, there are no hoops to jump through if you wanna come back right now.

• Jack Garrett : Did you hear they downgraded the storm?

  Clara Seger : Yeah? Somebody should tell that to the rain.

• Clara Seger : Life's too long to be alone.
