Quotes 

• Emily Prentiss : [On the recording of a 911-call]  Were you able to run a digital trace?

  Penelope Garcia : Yes and no: would you believe it came from the Ukrainian city of Sloviansk?

• David Rossi : [Staring at a coded message found in the victim]  This looks an awful lot like the cryptograms the Zodiac killer sent

  Dr. Spencer Reid : The Zodiac's four coded messages surely display the same blocking of text symbols and there are 20 lines with 30 symbols on each line, but with the Zodiac used symbols from 7 different sources, this unsub appears to be using letters from 4 pure alphabets: Latin, Greek, Cyrillic and Korean

  Penelope Garcia : Ok, the first thing I can tell you, is that Kyle Reeves did not write that, because he's recent in detainment juvi last week

  Emily Prentiss : So, Spence, how long will it take to crack?

  Penelope Garcia : [raises her hand]  Ow, ow! With my help, consider I cracked. I'm crazy for cryptology. If I may it's a homophobic cipher, it's a classic Caesar cypher

  Dr. Spencer Reid : Yeah, when one letter, one code text can be transposed in one letter of coded text. Here one letter, one code can be replaced by a coded letter from each four pure alphabets

  Penelope Garcia : Honey, they can hear how confusing that is

  Dr. Spencer Reid : I didn't tell them that key number we're gonna need to get the actual shift value

  Penelope Garcia : [nods]  Yeah

  Emily Prentiss : [Looks complete puzzled to Rossi]  Maybe we'll just leave you two to this

  Penelope Garcia : No, no, no, we got thus! It's all in the frequency analysis

  Dr. Spencer Reid : Exactly! Let's start with the most common letter in the English language: E

  Penelope Garcia : Are you flirting with me? 'cause E happens to be my favorite vowel. Ok, if the hypothesis of that is trivial that could mean that our transcendental shift value equals 3... and... if that's true, then our decryption looks like... this!
