A.J. Cook: Jennifer Jareau

Quotes 

• Jennifer Jareau : [opening qutoation]  "What is past is prologue." - William Shakespeare.

• Emily Prentiss : Shaun Tate was married with a daughter. He practiced maritime law in Baltimore. Meanwhile, Anthony Nakamura was a criminal defense attorney in Rockville, married and divorced twice but no children.

  Jennifer Jareau : Okay, well, here's some kind of connection. Both men were in the same graduating class in college; Wiltmore University.

  Penelope Garcia : [entering with a laptop in hand]  Ladies, you're gonna want to look at this security footage that I just found. It was taken in the parking lot of Anthony Nakamura's office. It is the night before he was reported as a missing person.

  Jennifer Jareau : [watching the tape]  So it looks like Nakamura's on his way home for the night when this young woman comes up to him in need of some kind of assistance.

  Emily Prentiss : Assistance or solicitation?

  Jennifer Jareau : Okay, but doesn't it look more like she's telling him a sob story? Like she's in need of a ride.

  Penelope Garcia : Yeah, and he's more than willing to be her knight in shining Beemer.

  Emily Prentiss : But the Rockville police said the last person who reported seeing Nakamura alive was his law partner, Geoffrey Flores.

  Penelope Garcia : Uh-huh. This was taken minutes after that.

  Emily Prentiss : Meaning this woman is actually the last person who saw Nakamura alive, and she may very well be the reason he's dead.

• Jennifer Jareau : I knew I had seen something like these crime scenes before. We both have, in Milwaukee eleven years ago. But they were women. Six women.

  Emily Prentiss : [remembering]  I can't believe I forgot.

  Jennifer Jareau : It was a terrible time for us. Gideon was gone, Hotch was suspended, Strauss was trying to tear up the BAU, and... you were leaving.

  Emily Prentiss : Their hearts were cut out, too.

  Jennifer Jareau : Yeah, by Joe Smith, whose wife abandoned him after he was diagnosed with cancer, which triggered his psychotic rage towards all the women in Milwaukee.

  Emily Prentiss : Yeah, I remember when we arrested him, he said he'd never stand trial because the cancer would get him first, but it didn't. He died in prison last year. So you think we're dealing with a copycat here?

  Jennifer Jareau : Worse.

  [handing her a folder] 

  Jennifer Jareau : Dr. Rhodes' client list. So, back then, you told me the Addisons were moving to Baltimore.

  Emily Prentiss : Yeah, after they adopted Joe Smith's son. They renamed him Edward Addison and they...

  [noticing Edward's name] 

  Emily Prentiss : Oh, my god. The Eddie we're looking for is David Smith.

  Jennifer Jareau : The son of a serial killer.

• Penelope Garcia : Ohh, my heart hurts for David.

  Jennifer Jareau : Mm. Fate was awfully cruel to him.

  Penelope Garcia : He was born and-and raised in his formative years by a psychopath. What chance did he really have?

  Jennifer Jareau : The Addisons were good people, but... the damage had already been done.

  Emily Prentiss : I can't help thinking that given different circumstances, I might have changed things for him.

  Penelope Garcia : No. Don't put this on or anywhere near you.

  Emily Prentiss : I know. It's not really about that, though. It's... it's more about remembering what I intended to do and reconciling with what I had to do.

• Jennifer Jareau : So, Rockville PD was able to identify our mystery woman. Her name is Kiara Hale, and she has a rather long rap sheet, mainly arrests for solicitation.

  Emily Prentiss : Is she in custody?

  Jennifer Jareau : No, not yet. Uh, we have a problem. Uh, if you scroll through to her cell phone records, according to them, Hale was in Rockville at the same time Shaun Tate was being abducted and murdered up in Baltimore.

  Emily Prentiss : Okay. So, what if Kiara Hale isn't the only woman playing the damsel in distress ruse here?

  Jennifer Jareau : You mean multiple female unsubs?

  Emily Prentiss : No. Now I'm reconsidering the probability of just one unsub, presumably male, and he's using women like Hale. He's probably paying them to lure his victims.

  Jennifer Jareau : Well, if you are right, these women were witnesses to his crimes. And I'd say there's no way he could take the chance to keep them alive.

  Emily Prentiss : Yeah. He'd have to kill them, too.

  Jennifer Jareau : So why haven't we found the bodies of these women along with the men?

  Emily Prentiss : Maybe they're collateral damage. He can sweep them away, while the men are part of some kind of statement, the focus of his rage and revenge.

• Emily Prentiss : Matt, what do we got?

  Matt Simmons : City disposal crews discovered the body about 90 minutes ago, called it in. Alexandria police, they notified us, and they held the scene. The victim's been identified as Dennis Kirkwood, 47 years old. He ran a financial management company called Turnblade Capital.

  Emily Prentiss : [seeing JJ look around]  JJ, you okay?

  Jennifer Jareau : Yeah. Yeah, it's just odd. I have this overwhelming sense of deja vu.

  Matt Simmons : What, the scene look familiar to you?

  Jennifer Jareau : Look, I have been to way too many scenes like this before, right, so I don't know what it is exactly.

• Emily Prentiss : Who reported Kirkwood missing?

  Matt Simmons : Uh, his wife. 48 hours ago, after he didn't come home from a run.

  Emily Prentiss : He must be holding his victims somewhere he feels protected. So maybe a good part of that 48 hours is the travel time to and from his secure location.

  Matt Simmons : You are probably right, but as far as a geoprofile goes, it's gonna be hard to reconcile the two axioms of serial killer behavior.

  Jennifer Jareau : Never commit a crime close to home and never travel farther than necessary to dispose of your victims.

  Matt Simmons : Exactly. And this guy's crossed state lines, which means he's willing to go the extra mile, which complicates the math.

• Emily Prentiss : CCTV traffic camera captured this image on the afternoon that our last victim, Dennis Kirkwood, went missing. Alexandria PD have identified Kirkwood's passenger here as a Rebecca Marcus. She's also a working girl. She's telling the same story as Hale, except that Eddie told her to deliver Kirkwood to a different address.

  Jennifer Jareau : Fortunately for her, he doesn't seem compelled to kill women.

  Emily Prentiss : Unfortunately for us, our description of this Eddie is just too generic, and Luke found nothing at either apartment.

  David Rossi : You know, Eddie looks too damn young to this good at his M.O.

  Emily Prentiss : Yeah. Everything about this speaks to someone who's had more than enough time to perfect their craft.

  Jennifer Jareau : Okay, so how did our young Eddie accelerate his learning curve?

• Emily Prentiss : Go ahead, Garcia.

  Penelope Garcia : So, I was doing my due dilligence, as I do, on Mr. Dennis Kirkwood, and I have found a bewildering connection between him and the first two victims. If I can direct your attention to the big screen. Three years ago in Baltimore, Mr. Kirkwood was considered a person of interest in the death of Robin Rhodes, who was fished out of the Patapsco River. She was 22 years old and worked as an intern at Kirkwood's company, Turnblade Capital, for a year.

  David Rossi : Were there rumors of an affair?

  Penelope Garcia : Oh, you betcha, although at the time, Kirkwood was engaged to his current wife. I mean, current widow.

  David Rossi : Okay, so how do Tate and Nakamura get connected to all this?

  Penelope Garcia : Well, uh, Kirkwood's alibi the night that Robin Rhodes went missing was that he was at his bachelor party. And although I don't have the entire guest list, I can tell you that two people at that party where Shaun Tate and Anthony Nakamura.

  Jennifer Jareau : And so Kirkwood was never charged?

  Penelope Garcia : Not only was he never charged, but after a two-year-long investigation, Baltimore PD determined that Robin Rhodes' death was - wait for it - just accidental. They say that she went for a jog, slipped off a steep embankment, and hit her head on a rock.

  Emily Prentiss : Garcia, we're gonna need you to get a complete list of all the men who were at Kirkwood's bachelor party.

  Jennifer Jareau : And I will get that for you. Copy.

  Jennifer Jareau : [Garcia hangs up]  Well, if we're looking for a personal trauma to inspire revenge killings, I think we just found it.

  Emily Prentiss : And I think we have what we need right now to deliver the profile.

• Matt Simmons : There's no doubt that Dr. Rhodes' grief is real, so she may want or even encourage someone to exact revenge for her.

  Jennifer Jareau : Yeah, but wanting to do it and actually taking the steps to do it are very different propositions.

  Luke Alvez : Yes, they are. Garcia managed to get ahold of her client list. It's all here in these reports.

  Jennifer Jareau : [recognizing a name]  Addison. Edward Addison.

  Luke Alvez : What about him?

  Jennifer Jareau : I'm... I'm not sure. Give me a second.

• Matt Simmons : So, based on what we know about Robin Rhodes, there was neither a David Smith nor an Edward Addison that was ever part of her life. The only connection they have is through her mother, Dr. Rhodes, who took him in as a client last year.

  David Rossi : Well, she couldn't be paying him to kill off Kirkwood and all his friends.

  Jennifer Jareau : No, David's inherited impulses wouldn't allow him to commit such a purely mercenary act of violence.

  Dr. Tara Lewis : And we know vengeance isn't emotionally transferrable, so why would David be killing these men to satisfy Dr. Rhodes' need for revenge?

  Emily Prentiss : Dr. Rhodes was able to take advantage of the fact that David's internalized love map is in a state of arrested development. Even when I first encountered him, he was susceptible to extreme maternal transference.

  Jennifer Jareau : It's also why he's not inclined to harm his female accomplices.

  Luke Alvez : So David was worried that he shared his dad's violent urges, and he went to Dr. Rhodes for help, but instead of helping him, she manipulated his trust in order to do her own bidding.

  David Rossi : I bet she's telling him that these guys are just like dear old dad, and if he has this urge to kill, the best way of working through it all is to kill them.

• Agent Cheryl Price : Well, he's running late.

  Jennifer Jareau : He knows we're here.

  Emily Prentiss : I expected he would.

  Agent Cheryl Price : [her phone rings]  Hey. What's the deal? You're late.

  David Smith : Please, I need to speak to Emily.

  Agent Cheryl Price : [feigning ignorance]  Emily? Who the hell is Emily?

  David Smith : Stop. I want to speak to Emily.

  Emily Prentiss : It's okay. Stand down.

  [taking the phone] 

  Emily Prentiss : Hello, David.

• David Smith : Emily, I... just never thought I'd hear your voice again.

  Emily Prentiss : But you knew I'd be here.

  David Smith : It's your job, isn't it?

  Emily Prentiss : Yes, it is.

  David Smith : You used to visit me.

  Emily Prentiss : I remember.

  David Smith : And if I got scared, you said you'd be there. But you weren't, remember?

  Emily Prentiss : I have no excuses, David. I'm sorry.

  David Smith : Me, too. But I have to do this.

  Emily Prentiss : No, David, please listen. You don't understand what you're doing.

  David Smith : I do.

  Jennifer Jareau : Matt, Luke, Price and I are on the move. We're covering the south.

  David Smith : These men need to suffer. They need to be punished for what they've done, just like my father.

  Emily Prentiss : You only think that because she told you. She lied, David.

• Jennifer Jareau : By the time we got there, David was gone. He's in the wind.

  Dr. Tara Lewis : Well, Garcia finally has a list compiled of David Kirkwood's party guests. We have federal marshals placing the rest of them into protective custody as we speak.

  Emily Prentiss : Good. Only I'm not so sure those men are on David's mind right now.

  David Rossi : But if he feels betrayed by his idealized maternal figure, he might just decide to kill himself.

  Emily Prentiss : Or devolve to the point where he finally subscribes to his father's psychotic rage toward women.

  David Rossi : Which means you'd be his target.

  Emily Prentiss : [realizing]  No, not me.

  David Smith : [breaking into Dr. Rhodes' home, gun drawn]  You really should answer my calls. You lied to me.

• David Rossi : Baltimore PD confirmed a break-in at Dr. Rhodes' home. She's gone.

  Dr. Tara Lewis : We're on our way there now.

  Luke Alvez : Emily, we've located the Addisons. They're up in Lancaster. They say they haven't seen David in weeks, that he actually moved out of their house over a year ago.

  Jennifer Jareau : That would be right around the time his dad died in prison.

  Emily Prentiss : It definitely triggered him, and he probably wanted to make sure he didn't do anything to hurt his adoptive parents.

  Jennifer Jareau : [her phone buzzes]  Penelope and Matt have something.

• Matt Simmons : So, with that last crime scene and plus a list of addresses for our victims and potential victims...

  Penelope Garcia : We finally have enough data to calculate the probable comfort zone of David's horrible home away from home.

  Jennifer Jareau : Looks like somewhere in Briar Point, Maryland. Probably someplace tied to the Rhodes family.

  Penelope Garcia : Say, something like the old defunct Friedman Medical Depot that's owned by Dr. Rhodes' uncle?

  Emily Prentiss : JJ, let's go.
