Lucky Strikes (2017)

A.J. Cook: Jennifer Jareau

Quotes 

• Penelope Garcia : [hugging JJ]  Come here. You magical, brilliant unicorn. How did you know? How did you know that the Morgan/Garcia cocktail is exactly what the doctor ordered?

  Jennifer Jareau : Well, I couldn't stand to see you like this, and I knew that only one person could put that smile back on your baby girl face.

• Dr. Tara Lewis : [Garcia leaves a briefing]  Was it something I said?

  Emily Prentiss : No. That's not you. Um... we were working Ferell's case when she was shot.

  Luke Alvez : Garcia was shot?

  Jennifer Jareau : Ten years ago. Happened right in front of her apartment building.

  Matt Simmons : Was it a random act of violence?

  Jennifer Jareau : No. He lured her into dating him before she IDed him. Turns out he was a dirty cop named Colby Baylor and she was getting close to exposing him.

  Luke Alvez : So he shot her. Where is he now?

  Jennifer Jareau : He's dead.

  Luke Alvez : Good.

  Emily Prentiss : Let's just give her a few minutes.

• Jennifer Jareau : Oh, great. I was just coming for you. So, I have the handwritten notes...

  [seeing Garcia's expression] 

  Jennifer Jareau : Hey. Um, you know, we can call in someone else to work this case.

  Penelope Garcia : No, there's no reason to do that. Why...

  [realizing] 

  Penelope Garcia : You stayed behind 'cause of me, didn't you?

  Jennifer Jareau : Emily and I were worried.

• David Rossi : Any lead on the manipulator killer theory?

  Jennifer Jareau : Well, I found a bunch of references to Satan in Ferell's writing, and I'm sending a video from the archive to your monitor now.

  Floyd Feylinn Ferell : [on the video file]  I'm not smart, but I have a smart friend who tells me things.

  Derek Morgan : What's your smart friend's name?

  Floyd Feylinn Ferell : He says you know his name.

  Jennifer Jareau : So it's possible he did have a partner.

  David Rossi : Just enough in the interview to make it seem plausible, but no definitive proof either way.

• Penelope Garcia : We got a call from Bridgewater, Florida PD. The body of Rebecca Strong was found last night in a rest stop women's room with and without things.

  Luke Alvez : Whoa.

  Penelope Garcia : Yeah. And then it gets worse.

  Jennifer Jareau : All the tell-tale signs are here.

  David Rossi : Pentagram, legs and fingers gone.

  Emily Prentiss : There's even one neat aspect. Her earrings and jewelry are laid out equidistant on the floor.

  David Rossi : Sure as hell looks like him.

  Matt Simmons : Looks like who?

  Jennifer Jareau : Floyd Feylinn Ferell.

  Dr. Spencer Reid : A psychotic cannibal who'd been killing under the radar for years.

  Emily Prentiss : He killed ten prostitutes, then moved up to low-risk victims.

  Jennifer Jareau : He kept slipping through the cracks and avoiding justice, so people referred to him as "Lucky".

  David Rossi : The worst of it was he owned a barbecue joint. And he fed one of the victims to the search party.

• Penelope Garcia : I guess I thought, I don't know, I thought I'd gotten over it by now.

  Jennifer Jareau : We were working this case when you got shot. It was the biggest physical trauma you've ever had. It's only natural that dredging up one would trigger memories of the other.

  Penelope Garcia : Okay. But, like, I put it in a box. I let it go.

  Jennifer Jareau : Really? You know it doesn't work that way, right?

  Penelope Garcia : You know what? It's been ten years, so, enough time for the wounds to heal. And although no amount of kitten videos is gonna make this better, let's get to work. What do you got?

• David Rossi : Anything on that victim who got away in 2007?

  Penelope Garcia : No. Uh, but... with what happened to Sheryl Timmons, anybody who knew how to take care of themselves would have receded into the vapors like she did, so...

  David Rossi : Okay. Well, she may be good at hiding, but she's no match for you. Let us know when you find her.

  Penelope Garcia : [irritably]  Okay, I'll let you know when I find her, because there's just me and I'm supposed to get all of the answers for all of you all the time, and it's not... it's not fair. It's...

  [calming down upon seeing JJ, she then stands up] 

  Penelope Garcia : I...

  [flustered, she leaves] 

  David Rossi : I guess I should have seen that coming.

  Jennifer Jareau : She's not doing well.

  David Rossi : I was just trying to encourage her.

  Jennifer Jareau : And you know, don't worry about Penelope, okay? I'll take care of her. We'll let you know when we find Sheryl Timmons.

• Penelope Garcia : Okay, I found an isolated warehouse on Shelby Lane midway between the search site where Sheryl was taken and Ferell's house.

  Matt Simmons : Any freight lines nearby?

  Jennifer Jareau : One runs right alongside it.

  Luke Alvez : Sheryl confirmed Ferell's story.

  Emily Prentiss : Is it possible we were actually wrong about him from the start?

• Penelope Garcia : I come bearing something totally irrelevant, Marcus Manning's M.E. report.

  Jennifer Jareau : Thanks, Penelope. There has to be something in all of these files that proves Floyd committed those murders.

  Penelope Garcia : If he did do it, he hid it so well.

  Jennifer Jareau : Yeah, he did. Turns out he was a hell of a lot smarter than we thought, and there's no way that this was all just dumb luck.

  Penelope Garcia : Wait a minute. The M.E. says that there were five of Rebecca's fingers in Marcus' stomach.

  Jennifer Jareau : Yeah. And it's gross.

  Penelope Garcia : Rebecca was missing all of her fingers.

  [realization dawns on JJ] 

  Penelope Garcia : Rossi is testifying at the state hospital board right now. Call Prentiss.
