Quotes 

• Emily Prentiss : We know you didn't do this.

  Dr. Spencer Reid : How did it happen?

  Luke Alvez : She was stabbed, multiple times. It looked personal.

  Mario Casteneda : We got the results of your blood work. There's cocaine and heroin in your system.

  Emily Prentiss : What else?

  Mario Casteneda : He was in possession of cocaine and heroin when he was arrested. I found what I need.

  Emily Prentiss : No, I need a full tox screen panel. We're looking for Scopolamine.

  Mario Casteneda : That'll take longer.

  Emily Prentiss : I don't care. I need it.

  Luke Alvez : You were given a speedball. The opiates block the dopamine. That's why things go from clear to hazy. The combination of the drugs causes a dissociative state and explains the memory loss. Are you coming down now?

  Dr. Spencer Reid : I think so.

• Emily Prentiss : Thanks, Cruz.

  [hanging up, to Rossi] 

  Emily Prentiss : This is bad.

  David Rossi : I know. It doesn't make sense.

  Jennifer Jareau : [seeing them approach]  What's wrong?

  Emily Prentiss : Reid is in jail.

  Penelope Garcia : Jail?

  Emily Prentiss : In Mexico.

  Jennifer Jareau : What the hell is he doing down there?

  Emily Prentiss : I don't know. I didn't talk to him. The call came into Cruz from their lead investigator.

  Luke Alvez : What's he being held for?

  David Rossi : Drug possession. With intent to distribute.

  Luke Alvez : What type of drugs?

  David Rossi : Cocaine and heroin.

  Jennifer Jareau : Oh, my god.

  Penelope Garcia : This can't be happening.

  Emily Prentiss : We need Lewis and Walker here ASAP.

• Dr. Tara Lewis : This has got to be Scratch. He was laying low. Now we know why.

  Luke Alvez : Crossing the border as a fugitive is a huge risk.

  Emily Prentiss : The reward is greater. He's been punishing the team. Now his target is Reid.

  Stephen Walker : Peter Lewis dropped off the map after attacking Tara's family. Maybe he's been hiding in Mexico this whole time.

  Emily Prentiss : We also have to consider this isn't related to him.

  David Rossi : Who else would it be?

  Luke Alvez : Drug cartels. Could have threatened Reid and used him as a mule.

  David Rossi : Agreed. This could simply be a case of bad luck. Reid was in the wrong place at the wrong time.

  Jennifer Jareau : Spence's mom is okay. The home nurse he hired said all is stable.

  Penelope Garcia : Oh, thank the stars.

  Luke Alvez : How long did he tell the nurse he'd be gone?

  Jennifer Jareau : Uh, three days.

  Emily Prentiss : That sounds reasonable. After the Palm Springs case, Reid said he had to get back to Houston to talk to his mom's doctor.

  Dr. Tara Lewis : Well, Houston is only a five hour drive from the border.

• Penelope Garcia : Cruz just sent me the arresting report. Hold, please. Translating now. O... kay. It says here that Reid was involved in a high-speed chase.

  Emily Prentiss : What? He hardly ever drives.

  Penelope Garcia : None of this sounds like him. It says he was wearing jeans, he was really confused. This... according to the arresting officer, he was really high on something.

  Jennifer Jareau : No. No. He wouldn't do that. Not after what happened with Tobias Hankel.

  Luke Alvez : Who's that?

  Emily Prentiss : An offender with D.I.D. who kidnapped and drugged Reid.

  Dr. Tara Lewis : When was this?

  Jennifer Jareau : Ten years ago.

• Dr. Spencer Reid : I can't thank you enough.

  Luke Alvez : Hey, it's all good, man. I'm just glad you sound like yourself again.

  Dr. Spencer Reid : Me, too.

  Emily Prentiss : Okay, so here's the deal that Cruz made. We can stop by the BAU when we land, but then we'll drive you into the district and take you to the federal jail.

  [taking his handcuffs off] 

  Emily Prentiss : Since you are under investigation for murder, these cuffs are going to have to stay on until you are arraigned, but you're not a flight risk up here.

  Dr. Spencer Reid : Thank you. Circulation's a wonderful thing.

  Emily Prentiss : And the moment there's a chance for outside witnesses, these go back on.

  Clara Seger : Have you talked to anyone about the legal team?

  David Rossi : Yeah. Stephen Walker made some calls to the B.A.P. to get the best we can.

  Matt Simmons : The B.A.P.'s a great group. You'll be in good hands.

  David Rossi : Mark my words, kid. This whole thing's been a nightmare, but we're gonna get you out of this.

• Luke Alvez : Hey, Reid. It's good to see you, brother. It's me, Luke.

  Dr. Spencer Reid : Luke. Thank you for coming.

  Luke Alvez : Of course.

  David Rossi : We're gonna get you out of here, kid.

  Emily Prentiss : We need to work out some details with the locals, okay?

  Luke Alvez : Who was your contact down here?

  Dr. Spencer Reid : [showing them the scribble on his arm]  Rosa. Rosa Medina. I think she's a doctor.

  Luke Alvez : [taking a picture of Reid's arm with his phone]  All right. Where did you meet her?

  Dr. Spencer Reid : I don't remember.

  Luke Alvez : If you saw her, would you... would you remember her?

  Dr. Spencer Reid : Yeah. I think so.

  Emily Prentiss : [seeing how spaced out he is]  You're missing time, aren't you?

  Dr. Spencer Reid : It's peeking out. It's coming in flashes.

  Emily Prentiss : And you've been drugged.

  Dr. Spencer Reid : Yeah, but I didn't take it myself.

  Emily Prentiss : No, of course you didn't, Spencer. We're thinking it might be Scratch.

• Luke Alvez : We can't get him out of here, can we?

  David Rossi : I don't know how.

  Luke Alvez : He didn't kill her.

  David Rossi : If all I had to go on was the evidence, I would swear he did. But knowing Reid, hearing the cognitive...

  Emily Prentiss : Yes, he said there was another person in that motel room, but...

  [she plays the recording] 

  Emily Prentiss : Who has the knife? Who is stabbing Rosa?

  Dr. Spencer Reid : I don't know. It's in my hand.

  Emily Prentiss : You're trying to stop the killer.

  [stopping the recording] 

  Emily Prentiss : Right now, this is just more evidence against him.

• Jennifer Jareau : Is he okay?

  Luke Alvez : Yeah. I mean, he's... he's in one piece. I mean, I'm not sure he recognizes us.

  Stephen Walker : That could be the drugs.

  Dr. Tara Lewis : Would a cognitive help?

  Luke Alvez : I really think we're a little far off for that right now. Um... he definitely didn't recognize Scratch's name. But he wrote the name of his local contact, Rosa Medina, on his arm. I just sent the pic to Garcia. He says that she's a doctor.

  Dr. Tara Lewis : So his short-term is coming back, but it's limited. It sounds like his long-term is still a mess.

  Penelope Garcia : Okay, this definitely reads chicken scratch, but it's... oh, there are a lot of Rosa Medinas in Mexico.

  Stephen Walker : Well let's start with women in Houston and Brownsville, and then cross them with Mexican citizens.

  Penelope Garcia : Got it.

• Jennifer Jareau : He told Emily he was gonna talk to his mom's doctor. If that was true, we all assumed it was the doctor from the clinic, but maybe it was this Rosa Medina.

  Dr. Tara Lewis : And she could be being cautious, which is why we haven't been able to find any communication between them.

  Luke Alvez : And why should she be cautious?

  Dr. Tara Lewis : Well, because in 2015, sixty holistic doctors across the United States died mysteriously. And some were accidents, others violent attacks, others were deemed suicide. Conspiracy theorists believe these doctors were targeted fatally by pharmaceutical companies for their belief in holistic practice.

  Stephen Walker : Well, then Rosa Medina might not be her real name.

  Penelope Garcia : You think she might have an alias?

  Stephen Walker : Look, I've seen it plenty of times. If she's afraid of consequences, maybe she used an anagram. How many holistic doctors with connections between Texas and Mexico?

  Penelope Garcia : [typing on her computer]  Uh... Sophia Flores. Ana Sorel. Nadie Ramos. Juliet Hernandez.

  Stephen Walker : [writing on his legal pad]  What's the story with Nadie Ramos?

  Penelope Garcia : Uh... uh, let's see. She specializes in experimental drugs that reverse brain degeneration.

  Stephen Walker : Have you got a photo?

  Penelope Garcia : Yup. Sending it to you guys right now.

• Emily Prentiss : We've got a disorganized crime scene with the offender aware enough to take the murder weapon with them. It doesn't add up.

  Luke Alvez : Unless it was a drug induced kill. The unsub could have freaked out and taken off with the knife.

  David Rossi : Reid told Casteneda he was chasing someone. It could have been the killer.

  Luke Alvez : Yeah. Well, if they took the knife with them, they could have dumped it in the desert. And Reid's got a nasty cut on his hand. It could be from the same blade.

  David Rossi : He didn't do this.

  Luke Alvez : I know. But Scratch is doing one hell of a job making it look like he did.

• David Rossi : How's he doing?

  Emily Prentiss : Well, he's made some breakthroughs, but I'm not sure how helpful they'll be.

  [seeing their anxious expressions] 

  Emily Prentiss : What is it?

  Luke Alvez : They just charged Reid with the murder of Nadie Ramos.

• Luke Alvez : Prints and samples from the crime scene came back to our home lab. They've found proof that backs up your cognitive. There was a third person in that room.

  Emily Prentiss : You're not out of the woods, but I swear we won't lose you.

• Luke Alvez : Damn! She's dead. This isn't good
