Kirsten Vangsness: Penelope Garcia

Quotes 

• Penelope Garcia : Good evening. I am the artist currently known as she who ruins your evening by sharing revolting VICAP hits. Case in point. Two men have been murdered, both attorneys, Shaun Tate, Anthony Nakamura. Shaun Tate was killed two weeks ago in Baltimore. Anthony Nakamura was found murdered earlier today in Rockville.

  Luke Alvez : Now, according to police reports, each victim was declared missing 48 hours prior to his body being found dumped in a downtown alley, each wrapped in a construction tarp.

  Penelope Garcia : Each man was severely beaten, like every bone in their body was smashed. And their hearts were cut out of their chest.

  Emily Prentiss : You said Tate and Nakamura were both lawyers, but they never worked together. Are there any other connections between the two?

  Luke Alvez : Nothing that stands out, no.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.

• Penelope Garcia : Okay, I put the address of Robin Rhodes' mother into your GPS. Sadly, her father died when she was twelve. Her mother is Dr. Elizabeth Rhodes. She's a pretty prominent psychiatrist.

  Dr. Tara Lewis : Dr. Rhodes is the one who filed the missing persons report on Robin.

  Penelope Garcia : Yeah, and she was super-duper critical of the way the investigation was handled. Uh, even going so far as to threaten a civil suit against the Baltimore PD for saying that her daughter's death was just a terrible accident.

  Dr. Tara Lewis : Definitely a grieving mother.

• Emily Prentiss : Penelope, you said you had something on Edward Addison?

  Penelope Garcia : Yeah, I've been backtracking how he's soliciting his female helpers online. Looks like he tried to cover his tracks by bouncing around to different classified ad websites. This is his latest ad. It went live two minutes ago.

  Emily Prentiss : Can you stop someone from answering that ad?

  Penelope Garcia : Done and doner.

  Emily Prentiss : I'm going to assume you can't pinpoint his computer's location.

  Penelope Garcia : Well-assumed, my love.

  Emily Prentiss : But we might finally get the chance to start playing offense. I'm going to coordinate with our undercover tactical team. We are gonna answer this ad ourselves and bait David out into the open.

• 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.

• Emily Prentiss : [after watching a tape]  Penelope, I need...

  Penelope Garcia : I am here to fulfill your needs. I have already enhanced this image. I'm running it through facial recognition software now

  Emily Prentiss : Good! Hopefully this young lady has gotten into some trouble before and we can get her ID
