Criminal Minds (TV Series)

Dorado Falls (2011)

Thomas Gibson: Aaron Hotchner

Quotes 

• Derek Morgan : He said his parents had been replaced.

  Emily Prentiss : He just sounds delusional.

  Dr. Spencer Reid : You know, he might have Capgras syndrome. It's a delusional disorder in which one believes that their friends and loved ones have been replaced by imposters.

  Derek Morgan : Sort of like Invasion of the Body Snatchers.

  Dr. Spencer Reid : It typically involves only one sense, such as sight. Basically, the neural connection between the visual cortex and the emotional center of the brain becomes severed, so that looking at a loved one doesn't elicit the same emotional response one would expect.

  Aaron Hotchner : So, you think they're an imposter.

  Dr. Spencer Reid : And the interesting thing is that the auditory connection remains intact, so that if they were to hear a loved one speak and not see them, they'd think that they were real.

• Aaron Hotchner : Garcia, it's an empty lot with a cell phone repeater. Give me a rundown on the buildings in the area and the years that they were built.

  Penelope Garcia : All over it like cat hair on a sofa. BTW, I can usually locate a cell phone within 3 meters, but sometimes there are circumstances beyond my control, like physical barriers blocking a signal, not being in the satellite's direct line of sight, which bounces the signal to a repeater.

  Aaron Hotchner : Garcia, tell me you've got something.

  Penelope Garcia : Sorry. Yes, I have something.

• Jennifer Jareau : So, Garcia discovered part of Dolan's military records were encrypted. I just got the complete file from the Pentagon; he wasn't a clerk, he was a Navy SEAL.

  David Rossi : Well, let me guess: Adam Werner was, too.

  Jennifer Jareau : Yeah, Werner was the SEAL team leader, Dolan was his number two. Their unit was part of JSOC; they were involved in over twenty highly classified missions.

  David Rossi : Which missions were in 2000?

  Jennifer Jareau : Uh... only one, Operation Dorado Falls.

  David Rossi : See what you can find out about it.

  Jennifer Jareau : Will do.

  Aaron Hotchner : That changes the profile.

  David Rossi : Definitely.

  Jennifer Jareau : How so?

  David Rossi : Navy SEALs are screened carefully for vulnerability to PTSD; they're resistant to it.

  Jennifer Jareau : Okay, so why would a trained Navy SEAL kill his commanding officer and his own parents?

  Aaron Hotchner : I don't know, but it's gonna be a lot harder to find him.

  David Rossi : Very few people on this planet are capable of stopping him.

• David Rossi : One thing that's been bothering me is the first victim, Adam Werner, was given the Navy Cross in 2000.

  Aaron Hotchner : We weren't at war.

  David Rossi : Exactly. You have to show extreme sacrifice, risk life and limb to win the second highest medal of valor. So what did he do during peacetime to deserve it?
