Quotes 

• Dr. Spencer Reid : Where's Hotch being held?

  David Rossi : I don't know yet. I have calls out.

  Dr. Tara Lewis : Metro SWAT took him in?

  David Rossi : Yeah, but it has to be bigger than that.

  Dr. Spencer Reid : JJ's on her way here right now. She couldn't explain everything on the phone because she's with the kids.

  Penelope Garcia : Okay, maybe Hotch was SWATted. That's an extreme prank that gamers pull on their opponents, where they fake a 911 on them. It's recently escalated among celebrities.

  David Rossi : If it was a prank, they wouldn't have arrested him.

  Dr. Spencer Reid : Unless they didn't know. If someone called 911 and said that Hotch is a threat, SWAT has to respond. Which means somewhere, there's a record of that call.

• Dr. Spencer Reid : With these three press conferences, we can prove to the Inspector General's office that Hotch's 911 call was spliced together.

  David Rossi : That's a good start, but they're not gonna listen to anything we have to say until we give them a viable suspect.

  Jennifer Jareau : Yeah, especially with explosives in play. They planted enough on Hotch to make it look like he was ready to blow up a city block.

  David Rossi : Okay, back to basics. Someone's framing Hotch. Who'd want to?

  Dr. Spencer Reid : He's put away a lot of people. We've seen the lengths that Chazz Montolo went to against Morgan for revenge. We shouldn't underestimate anything.

• Hayden Montgomery : [her phone rings]  Oh. Joy wants to FaceTime.

  David Rossi : Well, you should get it.

  Hayden Montgomery : No! She'll recognize your house. I can't lie to her.

  David Rossi : Then don't. Let's just tell her we're just seeing each other again. You're happy, I'm happy. She will be, too.

  Hayden Montgomery : This is a big deal, and I just think that we should... tell her when she comes to visit.

  [her phone chimes, indicating a missed call] 

  Hayden Montgomery : Oh. Good.

  [Rossi's phone rings, and, snickering, he shows her that it's Joy calling] 

  Hayden Montgomery : Oh! Do you think she knows?

  David Rossi : She's a reporter. I think she might have a hunch.

• Dr. Spencer Reid : [in a suspect's home]  We should secure the house, but we're not gonna find anything else here. Best hope is to get him talking, but that could be tough.

  David Rossi : Why?

  Dr. Spencer Reid : Well, he displays both collecting behavior and unique dysgraphia traits in his handwriting. I'm pretty sure he's autistic.

• [first lines] 

  Hayden Montgomery : Ooh, this reminds me of that morning in Budapest.

  David Rossi : As I recall, that particular breakfast lasted all day.

  Hayden Montgomery : Well, we could try that again. Except you'd have to call in sick.

  David Rossi : That's very tempting.

• David Rossi : Don't go.

  Hayden Montgomery : I think I fooled myself into thinking that things would be different. I... I think you did, too.

  David Rossi : It is different.

  Hayden Montgomery : David, the job will always be the same.

  David Rossi : Yes. But I'm different. Do me just one favor. Before you make any decision, meet my team. They're the only family I have outside of you and Joy. I walked away thirty years ago. I'm not walking away this time.

• [last lines] 

  Dr. Tara Lewis : What is it now?

  Aaron Hotchner : Three more prison breaks in three different states, all organized by Rawdon's partners from his last bombing attempt.

  Penelope Garcia : The local field office got a head start because of what we did. They stopped the bomb threat, but...

  David Rossi : Who didn't they catch?

  Aaron Hotchner : All have serial killer wings just like VA Max.

  Dr. Tara Lewis : Let me guess; they were released first to cause maximum chaos and occupy law enforcement.

  Penelope Garcia : A lot of them were killed or recaptured, but not all of them.

  Jennifer Jareau : How many got away?

  Penelope Garcia : As of right now, thirteen serial killers, one of which is Peter Lewis.

  Dr. Spencer Reid : Mr. Scratch. That's why he testified against you. He was part of their plan all along.

  Aaron Hotchner : So we have to catch him again, along with twelve other murderers.

• David Rossi : [Doorbell rings]  And there they are! Thanks, come in. Spence, Tara, this is Hayden Montgomery

  Dr. Tara Lewis : On ma dit que vous avez une diplomatique a Paris, que je trouve très heureusement

  Hayden Montgomery : Vous parlez le Français très bien, madame.

  [to Rossi] 

  Hayden Montgomery : She's my favorite so far
