Quotes 

• Luke Alvez : I'm glad you came over, man. It's been a while.

  Phil Brooks : Well, you should have called earlier. I would have helped you out with the move.

  Luke Alvez : Oh, most of Lisa's stuff was here already. It was just a last couple things.

  Phil Brooks : Hmm. Classic Luke Alvez. Willing to go at it alone.

  Lisa Douglas : Oh, you should have seen him wrestle the bed frame at my apartment. He kept saying "Don't worry, Lisa. Just stand back."

  Phil Brooks , Lisa Douglas : "I got this."

  Luke Alvez : You two are the worst. Okay, that's exactly why I didn't invite you to help.

• Lisa Douglas : How's the new job?

  Phil Brooks : I'm still thankful to be back at the FBI. I mean, even if it is behind a desk. What about you? I haven't seen you since you moved over to the E.R. How's it going?

  Lisa Douglas : Hmm, leaving the rehab wing was tough, but I love the new challenge.

  Phil Brooks : That's great. And now we turn to the great communicator, Luke Alvez. What's up with the BAU, Luke?

  Luke Alvez : Everything's good.

  Phil Brooks : Well, that's actually more than I expected.

• Phil Brooks : What's new with Penelope? Is she seeing anybody? What's up?

  Luke Alvez : Come on, bro. How many times do I have to tell you, you are no match for Penelope Garcia.

  Phil Brooks : I'm smart. I'm considerate, and stable.

  Lisa Douglas : Mm-hmm. Don't forget employed.

  Phil Brooks : Ah, employed. Man, I'm like the total package, man. Come on.

  Luke Alvez : I don't know, okay? I'm not even sure she's looking. I've been busy at work.

  Phil Brooks : Oh. Anything interesting?

  [Luke avoids answering] 

  Phil Brooks : Come on, man. I'm getting frostbite out here.

  Lisa Douglas : He does the same thing to me when I ask about the cases. I can't even get a middle of the day "how's it going?" text from the guy.

  Luke Alvez : [amused]  The two of you.

• Inspector Manny Silva : You don't get that many shots to a guy like Ramos.

  Luke Alvez : Hey, Manny, our job is arrest him.

  Inspector Manny Silva : The cartel owns most of the justice system. He'll be out in three days. This is our chance.

  Phil Brooks : Come on, we aren't mercenaries.

  Inspector Manny Silva : And he's not human. He murdered over fifty people, and that's the ones that we know about. Men, women, children, innocent. Eduardo Ramos deserves to die.

  Luke Alvez : [firmly]  No. His victims deserve justice. That's what they're gonna get.

• Phil Brooks : I don't know the others, but this guy, Paul McEntee, I recognize him. He was a middleman for the Martinez cartel. He greased the wheels that brought the product into the country.

  Jennifer Jareau : You think he's the CI who gave up Ramos?

  Phil Brooks : We never knew the identity of the CI, but it's possible.

  Luke Alvez : If this is an act of revenge for Ramos, I don't think it matters. Anybody associated with the cartel's guilty in his eyes. All right, not only because they ratted him out, they also abandoned him in prison. So he's gonna kill everyone involved, no matter how far removed from his arrest in Mexico.

• Inspector Manny Silva : Phil Brooks.

  [switching to Spanish] 

  Inspector Manny Silva : How's your better half?

  Phil Brooks : [in Spanish, too]  He's right here next to me.

  Inspector Manny Silva : What can I do for you guys?

  Luke Alvez : We think Eduardo Ramos is back, but he's in the States.

  Inspector Manny Silva : [switching back to English]  No, that's impossible.

  Phil Brooks : It might sound impossible, but we've got four bodies that say so.

  Inspector Manny Silva : No, I mean that's impossible because Eduardo Ramos is dead.

  Luke Alvez : Dead?

  Inspector Manny Silva : Yeah. He stayed off the radar after he got out of prison. We figured he was laying low. Then I got a call that Eduardo Ramos was gunned down in Sinaloa. Two shots behind the head. And listen to this, he had bleach in his stomach.

  Luke Alvez : When did you find out about this?

  Inspector Manny Silva : A few weeks ago. It was impossible to pin down. The very reputation of the sicarios are that they're ghosts. But a friend of mine confirmed it in Sinaloa, and I saw the body myself two days ago.

• Luke Alvez : Sinaloa isn't even part of Martinez cartel territory. Why was Ramos there?

  Inspector Manny Silva : Hard to say. He could have been hiding out or working.

  Phil Brooks : Who do you think did this?

  Inspector Manny Silva : Plenty of people have motive. A rival cartel, his own cartel; hell, victim's families.

• Luke Alvez : Someone's posing as Eduardo Ramos.

  Phil Brooks : Yeah, but who would do that?

  Luke Alvez : Whoever it is killed the most feared sicario in Mexico using his own M.O. against him, then did it four more times without us knowing the difference. This guy's more dangerous than we thought.

• Luke Alvez : So, DNA from the latest crime scene confirms that our unsub is Jeremy Grant. He was a DEA sniper Phil and I worked with in Mexico when we were hunting Eduardo Ramos. We weren't tight, but we knew him a bit. He took orders well. He was good at his job. I lost touch with him after Mexico.

  Phil Brooks : Yeah, so did I.

  Matt Simmons : That's not uncommon after a mission. So, what happened?

  Penelope Garcia : [typing]  Jeremy Grant still works for the DEA. He lives in Mexico with his wife and two daughters. Wow, he was practically Ramos' neighbor. Uh, he's lived in Mexico for over ten years. Both of his daughters were born there.

  [seeing a report pop up] 

  Penelope Garcia : He was just put on mandatory bereavement for... oh, my.

  Emily Prentiss : [looking over her shoulder]  His wife and children were all murdered in the family's home. They were all forced to drink bleach before being shot twice in the back of the head with a .40 caliber pistol. It must be Ramos.

  Phil Brooks : Where was Grant when it happened?

  Penelope Garcia : He was out of the country on assignment. He discovered the bodies.

  Luke Alvez : Somehow, Ramos must have gotten a list of everybody involved with his arrest. And he went after the Grants first because they lived the closest. After that, he likely would have gone after Silva and his men, and then crossed stateside and come after us. But Grant got to him first.

• Dr. Spencer Reid : We profiled Grant as either a hit man or a moral enforcer, but he's actually both. He's a moral enforcer posing as a hit man. It's the perfect cover.

  Emily Prentiss : We need to find everyone associated with the cartel in this immediate area. That's where he's heading next.

  Jennifer Jareau : [entering]  The DEA's just given us three more suspected Martinez cartel contacts in the D.C. area. I just sent you all their info, Garcia.

  Penelope Garcia : On it. Ken Ronson, Steve Bagnis, Kathleen Jensen. I've sent you their home and work addresses.

  Emily Prentiss : Phil, do you recognize any of them?

  Phil Brooks : No.

  Emily Prentiss : Okay, then we have to assume all three are still in play. Let's split up and go.

• Jeremy Grant : Any last words?

  Phil Brooks : [choking on bleach]  Go... to hell.
