Quotes 

• Matt Simmons : Kristy and I can't take two steps in our house without tripping over the kids' toys.

  Jennifer Jareau : Yeah, tell me about it.

  Dr. Spencer Reid : Guys, I read about a guy in California who only has 79 items to his name, including his underwear.

  Luke Alvez : Hey, I am all for living with only the things you really need.

  Penelope Garcia : Amen. Me, too, right?

  [off JJ's look, she realizes the insult] 

  Penelope Garcia : What?

  Matt Simmons : How many fuzzy pens, unicorn statues, mermaid paperweights does one need at her desk?

  Penelope Garcia : All of them.

• Matt Simmons : I gotta say, Coleman's bunker was pretty impressive.

  Emily Prentiss : Yeah, but not where I want to spend my last day on Earth.

  Matt Simmons : Yeah? Where would you?

  Emily Prentiss : Never thought about it.

  Penelope Garcia : I... I don't want to think about it.

  Dr. Tara Lewis : I would definitely be on a beach.

  Luke Alvez : I think I'd prefer the mountains.

  Matt Simmons : I'd be with my family.

  Jennifer Jareau : Same. Spence?

  Dr. Spencer Reid : Paris with my mom. She liked Paris.

  Dr. Tara Lewis : You know, something tells me Dave has this all planned out.

  David Rossi : Don't you know it. When the end comes, you'll find me at home enjoying a meal of carbonara a la Rossi, and if there's still time, I will adjourn to my patio to partake in a double Jack and a vintage Don Carlos.

  Luke Alvez : That sounds great.

  Emily Prentiss : You mind if we join you?

• Jennifer Jareau : [closing quotation]  "Even if I knew that tomorrow the world would go to pieces, I would still plant my apple tree." - Martin Luther.

• Penelope Garcia : I looked into the disappearance of Chrissy Miller. I found something significant. That same week that Chrissy disappeared, another teen, Kylie Pritchard, also went missing.

  Jennifer Jareau : Eighteen and pregnant. Like Chrissy, the police checked off the "troubled runaway" box.

  Penelope Garcia : Yeah. And this will also whet your mystery whistle. Days after Kylie and Chrissy went missing, Dr. Roberta Childs vanished.

  Emily Prentiss : So if this is the same unsub, he probably started with high-risk victims like runaways, then graduated to high-profile ones.

  Jennifer Jareau : What if Joanna Miller was right and her sister's disappearance is connected to the abduction of the professional women from five years ago?

  Emily Prentiss : Garcia, expand your search for...

  Penelope Garcia : Missing women in Virginia and the metro D.C. area. I can read your voices and your minds.

• Jennifer Jareau : Ooh, what about this one? Sunny, two-bedroom. It's close to work. And it's in your price range.

  Matt Simmons : Garcia, you're moving? You don't like change.

  Penelope Garcia : That's true. Change is my kryptonite. But the apartment is no longer a sanctuary. I have a new neighbor. Window's right here. He enjoys doing naked kung fu. Some things you cannot unsee.

• Jennifer Jareau : The unsub could hold a grudge against accomplished women, especially if he feels inferior.

  Dr. Spencer Reid : You know, the unemployment rate in Virginia is only 3.7%. But if he's out of work, he might resent them for being better educated or making more money.

  Dr. Tara Lewis : And you also need to throw rejection into the mix. I mean, this guy could be a jilted lover or feel frustrated by the type of woman he thinks he can't get.

  Emily Prentiss : Garcia, any luck finding a connection between these women?

  Penelope Garcia : Nothing on social media.

  David Rossi : Were any of the dating or in a relationship?

  Penelope Garcia : Not that I can see. They haven't posted, you know, any typical romantic pics with a boyfriend or girlfriend.

• Luke Alvez : Assuming the women are still alive, the unsub would need a place to hold them. A home, warehouse, abandoned building.

  Dr. Spencer Reid : He could be keeping them in multiple locations, in which case he most likely has a large truck or van.

  Jennifer Jareau : He appears to be a night owl. All of the abductions took place around midnight.

  Matt Simmons : Could do shift work. Maybe that's the time he gets off from his job.

  Emily Prentiss : Matt, Dave, go check out the latest crime scene. Tara, Luke, talk to Allie's co-workers at the restaurant. Captain Skinner from the State Police is on his way in. We will work the case from here.

• Captain Chuck Skinner : Without any bodies turning up over the years, we debated if the three women just decided to up and leave their lives. It happens. But now with that chef gone missing...

  Emily Prentiss : Well, we're happy to help.

  Captain Chuck Skinner : I should warn you the media's been reporting that the BAU's been called in on this. Before I got here, the relative of a woman who went missing years ago came in demanding to talk to you.

  Jennifer Jareau : News stories often bring all kinds of people out of the woodwork.

  Captain Chuck Skinner : This one's different.

  Jennifer Jareau : How so?

  Captain Chuck Skinner : Her name is Joanna Miller, and her sister Chrissy vanished five years ago. Any time there's a missing person case or a woman's body is found, Joanna shows up.

  Emily Prentiss : But you don't think Chrissy's case is related to the recent abductions.

  Captain Chuck Skinner : She was sixteen and in all sorts of trouble; drinking, drugs. Chronic runaway. My heart goes out to the family, but no, I don't.

  Jennifer Jareau : I can talk to her.

  Emily Prentiss : Let's bring her in.

• Penelope Garcia : In the last five years, there have been two dozen missing person cases, mostly runaways, and young females.

  Emily Prentiss : So we have two waves of abductions: teen runaways and accomplished women. Dr. Childs was an obstetrician. What if some of the other runaways were pregnant?

  Jennifer Jareau : Joanna said Chrissy was cleaning up her act before she disappeared. What if she was pregnant, too? Garcia, can you...

  Penelope Garcia : In the flashiest of flashes, yes, I can. Uh... yeah, here's a medical chart from a downtown free clinic. Chrissy was pregnant. Two months, to be exact.

  Jennifer Jareau : Okay, I get the unsub taking teen runaways. He probably figured fewer people would be looking for them. But why go out of his way to abduct pregnant ones?

  Emily Prentiss : And what happened to the babies?

• Jennifer Jareau : Joanna, the last thing I wanna do is give you false hope. There's been some developments. And there may be a connection between Chrissy and the recent missing women.

  Joanna Miller : I don't know whether to be upset or relieved.

  Jennifer Jareau : I understand. And there's something else. Did you know Chrissy was two months pregnant when she disappeared?

  Joanna Miller : What?

  Jennifer Jareau : We think whoever took her also took other pregnant teens and is holding them somewhere.

  Joanna Miller : Oh god. Well, what about the baby? Is it okay? Where are they? How could anyone...

  Jennifer Jareau : We're working to find out now.

• Jennifer Jareau : Do you have any idea who the father could be?

  Joanna Miller : Maybe this neighborhood boy Parker. They were hanging out a lot.

  Jennifer Jareau : Does he still live in the area?

  Joanna Miller : No. He moved down south a week before she went missing.

  Jennifer Jareau : Okay. Did Chrissy keep a journal, a diary, a blog?

  Joanna Miller : No, nothing like that. Tell me, what can I do to help?

  Jennifer Jareau : You can go home. Try to relax, and please, just keep the TV off. I promise I will let you know when I hear something new.

  Joanna Miller : You promise?

  Jennifer Jareau : I promise.

  Joanna Miller : I'll wait for your call. And thank you for believing when no one else would.

• Jennifer Jareau : Since 1947 when a group of atomic scientists created the clock, the minute hand's been reset many times.

  Dr. Spencer Reid : For the last five years, it's been consistently ticking down. It was last set at two and a half minutes to midnight.

  Emily Prentiss : And the closest it ever was was two minutes in 1953 when the U.S. and Russia tested the first H-bomb.

  Jennifer Jareau : We could be looking at a doomsday cult.

  Captain Chuck Skinner : So he's like one of these survivalists who lives in the woods and wears tinfoil hats.

  Luke Alvez : Actually, the idea of preparing for the end is moving from the fringes of society into mainstream culture.

  Matt Simmons : Yeah, they call themselves preppers. They're trying to retain a certain standard of living for themselves and others while riding out the Apocalpyse, be it nuclear or civil unrest.

  David Rossi : The wealthy are jumping on board. They're hoarding cryptocurrency and buying custom survival shelters.

  Matt Simmons : And the super rich are taking it to another level. They're buying private islands, land in New Zealand, their private jets are always gassed up ready to whisk them away at a moment's notice.

  Emily Prentiss : So, the victims are part of the unsub's prep to repopulate a new civilization in a post-apocalyptic world.

  Dr. Tara Lewis : And the clock starting to tick steadily down five years ago was the trigger.

  Matt Simmons : And with it being so close to midnight and us breathing down his neck, he may decide that it's time to cut all ties with the outside world.

  Emily Prentiss : We need to find him before that happens.

• Jennifer Jareau : Joanna, this may sound strange, but did Chrissy ever talk about the end of the world? You know, doomsday?

  Joanna Miller : Yes, but she isn't crazy. She's a little naive, that's all.

  Jennifer Jareau : And what would she say about it?

  Joanna Miller : That the end was coming soon, that we had to get ready.

  Jennifer Jareau : Where would she get that idea from?

  Joanna Miller : I don't know. She'd get high and binge watch some TV show about zombies. She became obsessed with anything to do with Armageddon. Does that have something to do with her disappearance?

  Jennifer Jareau : It might. Uh, could she have met someone that encouraged her to believe the end was near?

  Joanna Miller : She'd play her guitar on the street for money. Maybe she met someone there. Please, if she's alive, why haven't I heard from her?

  Jennifer Jareau : She may be under the sway of whoever has her. Look, based on our experience with deprogramming, it could be hard for her to step back into the life she once had.

• Jennifer Jareau : Hey, Emily, Coleman's not here.

  Emily Prentiss : We've all hit dead ends.

  David Rossi : We know he has a willing partner driving the van. She's one of the early victims who bought into his paranoia. She may be the key.

  Emily Prentiss : Garcia, check for women who communicated with Coleman online. Look for anyone who shared his fervor about the end of days.

  Penelope Garcia : Fervor, female, doomsday. Got it. Oh, looks like there's a lid for every pot. Even the crackpots.

• Penelope Garcia : Coleman had beaucoup prepper ladies who were willing to share more than their canned meat with him.

  David Rossi : Was one as obsessed as Coleman?

  Penelope Garcia : That would be Irene Jacobs. She lives in Culpeper, Virginia. She works as a substance abuse counselor at New Dawn Outreach Center. And... booyah, she drives a black van.

  Jennifer Jareau : Joanna Miller mentioned her sister was seeing a counselor.

  Penelope Garcia : Yeah. Chrissy Miller was one of her patients.

  Jennifer Jareau : Which was how Coleman found out she was pregnant. What about Kylie Pritchard and some of the other missing teens?

  Penelope Garcia : Jinkies. It's like Irene was spoon-feeding Coleman his victims.

  Emily Prentiss : They trusted her and she betrayed them. We need addresses.

• Jennifer Jareau : There's nothing here.

  Dr. Spencer Reid : There's gotta be.

  Jennifer Jareau : Where, Spence? We drove around the entire property. There's nothing here except the ground we're standing on.

  Dr. Spencer Reid : [a thought strikes him]  The ground we're standing on.

  Jennifer Jareau : What?

  Dr. Spencer Reid : In the 1990s, the government closed and abandoned military installations across America, including Virginia. Some of them included underground strategic command centers.

  Jennifer Jareau : A bunker built to withstand a nuclear blast. What if this land Irene Jacobs owns is over one of them?

  Dr. Spencer Reid : Well, the main entrance would most likely be booby-trapped. So we need to try to find the escape hatch.

• Jennifer Jareau : I can't get through.

  Dr. Spencer Reid : The doors are airtight and the glass is bomb-blast resistant. Our bullets would just bounce off.

  Jennifer Jareau : Okay, uh, Garcia told everyone we were heading down here, so... wait, did you say airtight? Are we gonna run out of air?

  Dr. Spencer Reid : No. High carbon dioxide levels are gonna kill us before low oxygen levels do.

  Jennifer Jareau : What about the keypad?

  Dr. Spencer Reid : On a 0 to 9 keypad, assuming a four digit code, there are 10,000 possible combinations. If you figure five seconds to input each combination, that'll take 13.89 hours, and that's not even accounting the finger fatigue.

  Jennifer Jareau : Right. So even if we did try, after too many failed attempts, we would probably be locked in here anyway.

• Penelope Garcia : Oh, my gosh, I was so worried about you guys being in that bunker. It made me very claustrophobic. We need to look for an even bigger apartment for me. Even bigger.

  Jennifer Jareau : Mm, sure. We can look tomorrow.

• Joanna Miller : This is my sister. I miss her every day! I don't if you know what that feels like, but..

  Jennifer Jareau : Actually, I... I do
