Quotes 

• Dr. Spencer Reid : You had eyes on me while I was in prison, didn't you?

  Cat Adams : Spencie, don't ruin the moment.

  Dr. Spencer Reid : I don't want to, but I'm on the clock. Answer my question. Am I right?

  Cat Adams : Yes, you're right. I wanted to make sure things were just as uncomfortable for you as they were for me.

  Luke Alvez : That's what we missed. The inside man that's been helping them.

  David Rossi : He didn't just work at Cat's prison, he worked at hers and Reid's.

  Emily Prentiss : Garcia, look for any overlap.

  Penelope Garcia : Compiling now. Here's something. Lionel Wilkins. He worked at both Mount Pleasant and and the Millburn Correctional Facility.

  Dr. Tara Lewis : Okay, look, this guy could have gotten her pregnant. But there's no way he could have gotten his hand on Reid's file.

  Stephen Walker : Well, not directly. He could have called in a favor from a friend at the Bureau.

  Luke Alvez : So someone must have wanted to screw us this whole time.

  Emily Prentiss : Someone who's not gonna work for the Bureau much longer.

• Emily Prentiss : I know we're all tired, but we might have a new lead on Mr. Scratch.

  Penelope Garcia : Somebody did a bang-up job of cloning my cell phone to send Morgan a fake text luring him to a non-existent safe house. And whoever that somebody is has mad skills.

  Stephen Walker : The kind of skills Scratch has.

  Luke Alvez : Were you able to trace where the hack came from?

  Penelope Garcia : [to Morgan, insulted]  Do... do you see what I have to put up with?

  Derek Morgan : Alvez, you'll always get a location with this one. You guys are all good to go.

  Emily Prentiss : Obviously, Morgan can't come with us. He's a civilian now.

  Jennifer Jareau : Yeah, we'll miss you out there.

  Derek Morgan : I'd be lying if I said I didn't miss it out there in the field with you guys. I think about it every day. But between my old friends and my new friends, you guys are gonna go out there, you're gonna handle your business, you're gonna make people feel safe, and then you're gonna come home. And that's all that matters.

• Emily Prentiss : Up 'till now, Cat Adams has only worked solo. But this is a partnership. So we need to figure out how these two hit women were able to work together, especially when one of them was in solitary.

  Luke Alvez : And hitmen are driven by profit and self-preservation .They don't take a job unless they know all the angles.

  Dr. Tara Lewis : So, to predict their behavior, we need to ask ourselves a simple question. We know why Cat wanted revenge on Reid. Why does Lindsey?

  David Rossi : Ten years ago, Reid tried to talk Lindsey's father out of one last murder. Cut to last year and she finds out her BFF Cat has been arrested by the federal agent who tried to stop her daddy.

  Luke Alvez : So Lindsey's emotions trumped her professionalism. She could grab and kill Reid's mother without a trace, but instead, she waltzed Diana into his prison because she wanted him and us to know that she was involved.

  Emily Prentiss : But there's risky and there's reckless. It's kind of hard to buy that Lindsey would commit to doing all of this just because Reid kind of sort of got in her way ten years ago. We're missing something.

• Stephen Walker : Well, this casts a big shadow over Lindsey's next move. By exposing their plan to us, she knows there's no happy ending, no future with Cat.

  Luke Alvez : And she's going to take Reid's mother with her. That's the ultimate act of revenge against the guy who took her lover away.

  Emily Prentiss : JJ, what do you have?

  Jennifer Jareau : Will you take me off speaker?

  [Prentiss turns the speakerphone off and leaves; cut to her office, where she drops her cell phone on her desk] 

  Emily Prentiss : Are you kidding me? Are you kidding?

  Jennifer Jareau : Well, here's where it gets tricky. Do we believe her or not? On the one hand, getting pregnant is a power control move straight out of the female psychopath handbook. On the other hand...

  Emily Prentiss : If her story is true, it meant she sent her lesbian lover down to Mexico to get Reid to... ugh.

  Jennifer Jareau : Yeah. Either way, she is pregnant. I just refuse to believe it belongs to Spence.

  Emily Prentiss : It could be the person inside the prison who's been helping her. Getting pregnant serves two purposes: gaslighting Reid and emotional blackmail against that employee.

  Jennifer Jareau : Yeah, but Emily, we don't know who that guy is yet.

  [as JJ talks, Prentiss' phone beeps and she sees the AMBER alert she sent out] 

  Jennifer Jareau : And Alvez and Rossi aren't going to in the time they have left.

  Emily Prentiss : JJ, I gotta call you back.

• Emily Prentiss : Have we dispatched units to the location Scratch tried to lure us to?

  Dr. Tara Lewis : I coordinated it before we left. They're on their way.

  Luke Alvez : SWAT will meet us on site at Scratch's house.

  Emily Prentiss : I know we all want this son of a bitch's head on a platter, but SWAT has to clear every single room before we step foot inside.

  Jennifer Jareau : Well, have they been briefed? This guy's traps have traps.

  David Rossi : The house itself could be a setup.

  Stephen Walker : Or a waste of our time so he can get away.

  Emily Prentiss : Whatever it is, he's gonna try to take us by surprise. We have to be ready for anything.

• Luke Alvez : All right. We got thirty employees that worked on Cat's wing. And these four, they don't have any disciplinary problems.

  David Rossi : So Cat used one, or more likely more than one to coordinate with Lindsey on the outside.

  Luke Alvez : That's the good news.

  David Rossi : Oh, lovely. We need more bad news.

  Luke Alvez : The guard union got wind that I was sniffing around. These twenty-six potential accomplices, they can't be interviewed without submitting all questions through the local 292 and their accompanying attorneys first.

  David Rossi : Okay. Let's do some digging. A couple of these folks are gonna look more guilty than the rest. We'll winnow it down and then deal with the local.
