Quotes 

• Jennifer Jareau : [watching Jack and Henry with Reid]  I had a hard time putting both boys down last night.

  Aaron Hotchner : They couldn't sleep?

  Jennifer Jareau : Other way around. I didn't want to leave them. How are things on your end?

  Aaron Hotchner : You know, fortunately, Jack doesn't remember a lot about Haley's death. He knows the story, but he was young.

  Jennifer Jareau : That's a good thing.

  Aaron Hotchner : That's a very good thing. But he's not gonna forget seeing me at gunpoint. I just don't want this job to take anything else away from him.

  Jennifer Jareau : Well, maybe it gives him something, too. You're his hero. Not a pretend hero, a real hero.

  Aaron Hotchner : Well, he's growing up. He's not gonna feel that way for too much longer.

  Jennifer Jareau : Nah, you can worry about that later. Just be his dad. Enjoy that.

• Jennifer Jareau : If you really wanted the BAU to suffer, you wouldn't have warned us. You'd only warn us if there was something in it for you.

  Antonia Slade : Oh, you really are smart.

  Jennifer Jareau : So it got me thinking. You're in here for life; what could you possibly gain?

  [opening a folder] 

  Jennifer Jareau : Your son was born when you were only fourteen. Which would make him... forty-three now. Your family was ashamed, so he was raised away from you. But you never lost touch with him.

  Antonia Slade : Have you always lived on the sappy side, or did that come out when you became a mother?

  Jennifer Jareau : The only reason you warned Agent Hotchner about this storm is because your son has something to do with it. And now you need our help.

  Antonia Slade : Not as much as you need mind.

  Jennifer Jareau : Your son framed a federal agent and manipulated Special Weapons and Tactics operatives to do it. So here's the thing about SWAT: they don't like being manipulated. So now your son is on a "shoot first, ask questions later" list.

  Antonia Slade : I want him taken into custody, alive.

  Jennifer Jareau : Of course you do. What mother wouldn't? Truth is, I can't really promise you what will happen if he gets caught.

  Antonia Slade : You won't let him get killed. I know you. You took an oath; you're too goody two shoes to break it.

  Jennifer Jareau : Yeah, yesterday... yesterday, I wouldn't have. But that was before your son had armed men point guns in the same room as my son.

• 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.

• Dr. Spencer Reid : We're looking at a case of counterfeit deviance. If Asher is autistic, he has trouble reading social clues.

  Dr. Tara Lewis : Yeah, but in this case, we're dealing with somebody high-functioning.

  Dr. Spencer Reid : What used to be labeled Asperger syndrome.

  Dr. Tara Lewis : And that's where the counterfeit deviance comes in.

  Dr. Spencer Reid : Documented examples include high-functioning autistics who collect child porn to pretend to plan a school shooting. They know that there's power in those images and those actions, but for them, there's no paraphilia behind it. They don't derive pleasure from it. What I don't see is someone who's interested in explosives. We need to rule out...

  Jennifer Jareau : That someone's pulling his strings just like he's been pulling ours.

• Jennifer Jareau : [bringing Jack and Henry to the BAU after Hotch's arrest]  It's bad.

  Dr. Tara Lewis : How much did they see?

  Jennifer Jareau : All of it. Which is why I figured this is the safest place to bring them.

• [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.

• Dr. Spencer Reid : [after hearing the 911 call recording]  It's subtle but it inflections changes. It sounds like the words are spliced together

  Jennifer Jareau : Let's look up all BAU press conferences led by Hotch

  Penelope Garcia : Right, maybe this unsub Frankensteined his voice
