Criminal Minds (TV Series)

Luke (2018)

Joe Mantegna: David Rossi

Quotes 

• Penelope Garcia : Three victims in three days: Rick Salazar, Michael Williams, and John Reynoso. Each was shot in the back of the head with a .40 caliber pistol.

  Emily Prentiss : They lived in different states running south along the eastern seaboard. John, the most recent, was in nearby Bethesda, Maryland.

  David Rossi : Execution style. Could be professional.

• Dr. Spencer Reid : You know, most assassinations are one and dones. Hit men acquire a target, execute them, and then disappear. Killing multiple victims without changing his M.O. exposes him and makes him trackable.

  Jennifer Jareau : The victims were seemingly-average people with normal, middle-class lives. Nothing here says they would be targeted by a hit man.

  Dr. Tara Lewis : Yeah, killing random people's just not what a hit man does.

  Luke Alvez : If they're moving this fast, they must be working off a list.

  Matt Simmons : What if all three victims are key witnesses to a federal crime? That would put them on a list.

  David Rossi : As would witness protection.

  Emily Prentiss : Garcia, start running through the WITSEC database. I'll reach out to them and the U.S. Attorney's office, see if there's any overlap.

• Jennifer Jareau : There aren't many flights out this time of night. I've got one, maybe two possible options.

  David Rossi : Airport's risky, even for him. It's wall-to-wall cameras.

  Jennifer Jareau : Yeah, but he's arrogant enough to think he could beat 'em.

• Dr. Spencer Reid : Garcia compiled a list of buses and trains that pass through or originate in the area at this time of night. We have three good options, and I already have her pulling CCTV footage and passenger manifests.

  Jennifer Jareau : Okay, you know, we need to just step back a second and-and stop thinking about Grant like he's a tourist. We need to start thinking about this like he's, I don't know, trying to smuggle himself out.

  Dr. Spencer Reid : In that case, we should look at commercial trucking routes. It would take time and coordination, but it's a good way out of the country, although it does limit his destination options.

  Jennifer Jareau : Okay, now what about international waters? Once you're out there, all bets are off. You can pretty much go anywhere you want.

  David Rossi : There's smaller marinas off the Potomac, and there's the ports.

  Dr. Spencer Reid : Well, Alexandria's the closest to D.C., but it's small. If Grant really wanted to blend with a crowd, he'd head down to Baltimore. By overall dollar value of cargo, it's the ninth-biggest port in the U.S.

  Jennifer Jareau : Airports, marinas, bus terminals. All right, let's get the rest of the team and get started.
