Bodhi Elfman: Peter Lewis

Quotes 

• Peter Lewis : Well, hello, Emily.

  Emily Prentiss : Son of a bitch.

  Peter Lewis : It's nice to meet you, too, finally.

  Emily Prentiss : Did you grab all of us, huh? Are we all here? Luke! JJ!

  Peter Lewis : No. It's just you. Your team is fine, by the way. Excuse me. I take that back. The truck I drove into your team did kill SSA Stephen Walker; whiplash. Tragic. Leaves behind a wife and two children, I believe.

  Emily Prentiss : [crying]  No.

  Peter Lewis : That's good. Get it all out.

  Emily Prentiss : I will make sure you fry for this.

  Peter Lewis : Will you? Well, maybe you shook take a look at yourself first.

  [he pulls back the sheet, revealing her legs in braces with long pins poked into the epidermis] 

  Peter Lewis : Because from where I'm standing, you won't be doing much of anything for the rest of your life.

• Dr. Tara Lewis : Scratch took Emily. I saw him.

  Luke Alvez : Yeah. We know. We're looking for him.

  Dr. Tara Lewis : He dosed her.

  David Rossi : In the SUV while she was knocked out?

  Dr. Tara Lewis : Yeah.

  [flashback, with Tara narrating in voiceover] 

  Dr. Tara Lewis : He brought his gas with him.

  Peter Lewis : Your legs are broken. Your right arm is broken. You're in severe traction, and you're paralyzed. You feel unimaginable agony all over your body unless I give you high doses of painkiller.

  Jennifer Jareau : [the scene returns to the hospital]  She would wake in a delusion he'd have total control over.

  Luke Alvez : He thinks she knows where Hotch is, so he's trying to trick her. She's one of the smartest people we know. She'd see through it.

  Jennifer Jareau : So Scratch would go even farther.

  Luke Alvez : Sometimes interrogators even simulate death. Man, he could make it feel like the real thing.

  Jennifer Jareau : No. That wouldn't work. Remember, Rossi, when Prentiss told us about when she died, for real died, how for her, it was just dark and cold?

  David Rossi : That's right. If he made her experience some out-of-body vision, she'd know it was a lie.

• Emily Prentiss : I've read your case file. I've read about how your father was killed when you were thirteen, and earlier, you said something about crossing a line when it came to stalking a child. I realized Hotch's son Jack, he's thirteen now, too.

  Peter Lewis : I'm not a pedophile. I'm insulted by your inference.

  Emily Prentiss : No. Your interest in Jack is clinical. You want to see what it will be like if he grows up without his father like you did. That's what I've been focusing on. After you kill Hotch, you'll never leave Jack alone. Am I right?

  Peter Lewis : You are.

  Emily Prentiss : Then let me tell you something, Peter. I've died before protecting a child. That was a child I barely knew. But Jack? I love Jack. I've watched Jack grow up. I will not betray him or his father, so it doesn't matter what you do to me. I will not break.

  Peter Lewis : Let me test that resolve.

  [picking up a scalpel, he advances on her eye, but she remains unflinching] 

  Peter Lewis : [lowering the scalpel]  You make an interesting point. I need a plan "B".

• Peter Lewis : There is a certain dearly departed team member of yours that I would like to discuss with you.

  Emily Prentiss : Stephen.

  Peter Lewis : No, not Stephen. This one isn't dead, at least not yet. This agent and I had a little tête-à-tête, and I crossed a line I shouldn't have. I really couldn't help myself, and I started to stalk his son, and do you know what he did, that coward? He went into witness protection. And he has been very difficult to find ever since, so that's what I want to know. I want you tell me where he is, because I know you know.

  Emily Prentiss : [crying]  No. Oh, stop. No.

  Peter Lewis : Yes, Emily. Where is Aaron Hotchner?

• Peter Lewis : Taking a little mindfulness break? Trying to control your breathing? That's smart. It'll keep you sane. And I need you sane.

• Emily Prentiss : Look, I'm only alive because you want something. So what do you want?

  Peter Lewis : Information that only you have.

  Emily Prentiss : What are you waiting for, then? Dose me with your drugs, the ones that make me see whatever delusion you suggest, and I'll tell you what you want.

  Peter Lewis : Hmm. I would love nothing more than that. Unfortunately, in your current physical condition, the sevoflourine and scopolamine would send you into a stroke.

  Emily Prentiss : I guess we're at a stalemate, then.

  Peter Lewis : No. I still have drugs that can make you talk, just different drugs. This is morphine. This is what's making your life very livable right now. Without this, your body will be on fire, and then you really will tell me everything I want. No delusion necessary.

• Peter Lewis : If would've known that putting you at death's door would get you to talk, I would've started with that. Now, are you ready to tell me where Hotch and Jack are?

  [Prentiss nods] 

  Peter Lewis : Good. Go ahead.

• Peter Lewis : I'm not a pedophile. I'm insulted by your inference.
