Quotes 

• Emily Prentiss : Clara. Hey.

  Clara Seger : Emily. What brings you to the seventh floor?

  Emily Prentiss : Lisa Sojourn.

  Clara Seger : Oh, I haven't heard that name in years. Poor girl had her whole life ahead of her before that monster took it. I still can't believe he hasn't been caught.

  Emily Prentiss : Well, I just might have found him.

• Emily Prentiss : Communication addressed to the BAU came across my desk this morning. It was sent by Inspector Jin Taan of the Taipei Ministry of Criminal Investigations. In the last twelve days, he's had two unusual murders, which may be linked to one of the cases in the BAU's Zero Files.

  Russ Montgomery : Our victims, Lynn Zhou and Yian Chen, were posed in the same specific display - office building, knife through the heart, flower in the lap.

  Matt Simmons : Then why the purple orchid? Is this homage to...

  Emily Prentiss : The Vinegar Hill Slayer. The BAU hunted him in 2001. He killed four women in the Vinegar Hill section of Brooklyn, New York. All four of his victims were publicly displayed, knife in the heart, flower in the lap.

  Clara Seger : Precisely the same way these women in Taipei were.

  Emily Prentiss : At the time of the New York murders, I was working as an intern at the U.N.

  Clara Seger : As was I.

  Russ Montgomery : Oh, I didn't realize you guys went back that far.

  Clara Seger : Indeed we do. In fact, we knew one of the Vinegar Hill victims. She was a translator for the U.N. Her name was Lisa Sojourn.

  Emily Prentiss : Lisa, Clara, and I, some other girls, would go out after work and drink, dance, meet boys.

  Clara Seger : All that stopped after Lisa's death.

  Emily Prentiss : The preliminary investigation didn't lead to more substantive action. It was reclassified as a Zero File because the BAU's efforts were interrupted by the September 11th attacks.

  Matt Simmons : Right, when the FBI's top priority became terrorism.

• Jack Garrett : Sixteen years is an awfully long period of dormancy.

  Mae Jarvis : Could it be a copycat?

  Emily Prentiss : It's possible, but the purple orchid was a detail that was never made public.

  Jack Garrett : Did the BAU establish an operating theory at the time?

  Emily Prentiss : It was incomplete, but the profile indicated a male, late teens to early 20s, native to New York, sophisticated but with significant anger issues toward women.

  Jack Garrett : Ordinarily, we go to help American victims of crime overseas, but in this case, it looks like we may be looking at an American killing abroad.

  Matt Simmons : From four kills in six months to two murders in two weeks, that means the killings are accelerating.

  Jack Garrett : So we need to stop this unsub before he kills again.

• Emily Prentiss : Clara, I don't know about this.

  Clara Seger : It's happy hour somewhere, and I think we should have a toast.

  Emily Prentiss : So you finally got the Vinegar Hill Slayer.

  Clara Seger : Indeed we did.

  Emily Prentiss : I should be happier about that than I am.

  Clara Seger : Well, I know it doesn't bring Lisa back, or the others, but at least we know he can't hurt anybody else again, right?

  Emily Prentiss : I know, and I really appreciate you and the IRT going and doing this.

  Clara Seger : We did it for Lisa and all the others.

  Emily Prentiss : To Lisa Sojourn, may you finally rest in peace.

  Clara Seger : [they clink wine glasses]  Amen.

  [tapping her phone, Clara plays "Set It Off" by Brooklyn Funk Essentials and stands up] 

  Clara Seger : Oh, it's time to juke.

  Emily Prentiss : Really? Here?

  Clara Seger : Oh, yeah. This is happening right now.

  Emily Prentiss : No.

  Clara Seger : You're gonna have to stand up. If we're gonna send Lisa off, we're gonna do it right.

  Emily Prentiss : What if Jack or Rossi sees us?

  Clara Seger : [pulling Prentiss to her feet]  Have you seen Jack dance? He's fabulous.
