Quotes 

• Luke Alvez : Pyros like to watch, right?

  Dr. Spencer Reid : Yeah, they do. It's an inextricable component of the compulsion.

  Luke Alvez : Look. Look at the position of these cots. The kids could see each other while this was happening.

  Dr. Spencer Reid : Psychological torture. And the unsub probably watched, as well until at a certain point the fire took over and he had to go.

  Jennifer Jareau : But he needs both kids to make it work. He took Hannah Robertson four days before Max Wasserman. That means he held her someplace and kept her alive.

  Luke Alvez : Yeah. As soon as he got Max, he couldn't wait any longer.

  Jennifer Jareau : He planned everything. He probably stalked them until he found the perfect place to set his fire.

  Dr. Spencer Reid : That would explain the two year dormancy period. Who he burns is just as important as the fire itself.

  Luke Alvez : I hate to think what he did to her while he held her here.

• Dr. Spencer Reid : He used the same type of lock and chain to restrain the victims in San Diego.

  Jennifer Jareau : He also used cots like this. The wood, too; it's like a funeral pyre.

  Luke Alvez : The guys goes from runaways to good kids from good neighborhoods. That's a lot more work and a lot more risk for him.

  Jennifer Jareau : So what was so special about these two? Why'd he want 'em so bad?

  Dr. Spencer Reid : He may be discovering what his true victim selection criterion is.

  Jennifer Jareau : Well, the runaways were probably just a practice run; easy targets, no one reports them missing.

  Dr. Spencer Reid : But the boy/girl pattern he's established suggests that there might be some kind of fantasy he's trying to perfect.

  Jennifer Jareau : So what's the fantasy, then? Is he righting some kind of wrong? Getting revenge, maybe?

  Dr. Spencer Reid : If he has kids of his own, it might have something to do with them.

  Jennifer Jareau : I can't imagine what would drive a parent to do something like this.

  Luke Alvez : Hey.

  Jennifer Jareau : Hey.

  Luke Alvez : You all right?

  Jennifer Jareau : Yeah. Yeah.

  Luke Alvez : You sure?

  Jennifer Jareau : [indicating her bandaged wrist]  Oh, you know this... this hurts like hell, but yeah. Yeah, I'm good.

  Luke Alvez : You need anything?

  Jennifer Jareau : No. I'm okay.

  Luke Alvez : Water? Tea? I saw some microwave popcorn back there.

  Jennifer Jareau : Really, I'm... I'm fine.

  Luke Alvez : You don't look fine. You know, I've seen you look fine. That's not it. I know I'm the new guy and everything, but, uh, I'm here if you need me.

  Jennifer Jareau : Listen, I just... I just need my own bed. That's all.

  Luke Alvez : All right. If you want to talk, I'm around.

  Jennifer Jareau : [he stands to leave]  Hey, Luke. Um... thank you. You know, for what you did.

  Luke Alvez : You don't need to thank me. We're a team.
