Harry read over the case file of the Seattle Strangler as he made his way over to the FBI Academy. He saw the two agents he had been sent to meet and approached them.
Walsh: Agent Hotchner?
Hotch: Yes, that's me. You must be the loan from Scotland Yard.
Walsh: Harrison Walsh, at your service.
Hotch: This here is SSA Derek Morgan.
Morgan: Didn't know we were getting a Brit.
Walsh: Hopefully it's not going to be much of a bother.
Morgan: Of course not. Nice to meet you, Harrison.
He offered his hand out and Harry shook it.
Walsh: Please, everyone calls me Harry.
Hotch: Now that you're acquainted, we need to head inside. Reid is currently handing over the case details to Gideon.
Walsh: Gideon? As in Jason Gideon? The pioneer of modern behavioural science, that Jason Gideon?
Morgan: Looks like someone's a fan.
Walsh: Who wouldn't be?
Morgan: Just try and keep your cool when you meet him.
They headed inside.

They reached Jason Gideon's office where he was flicking through the case file that Doctor Spencer Reid had given him.
Gideon: I'll look the case file over. I'll get some thoughts to you ASAP.
Hotch: You're gonna be with us in Seattle ASAP.
Derek handed Gideon the picture of the most recent victim.
Morgan: Twenty-three-year-old Heather Woodland.
Hotch: Before she left for lunch she downloaded an e-mail with a time-delayed virus attached. The killer's virus wiped her hard drive and left this on the screen.
He handed Gideon an image of the message from Heather's computer.
Gideon: "For Heaven's sake, catch me before I kill more. I cannot control myself."
Gideon looked at a framed image of the same message left by William Heirens, the Lipstick Killer, in 1945.
Hotch: He never keeps them for more than seven days, which means we have fewer than 36 hours to find her.
Morgan: They want you back in the saddle. You ready?
Reid: Looks like medical leave's over, boss.
Gideon: They're sure they want me?
Hotch: The order came from the Director.
Gideon: Then we better get started.

Gideon: Joseph Conrad said, "The belief in a supernatural source of evil is not necessary. Men alone are quite capable of every wickedness."

The team arrived on the landing strip and walked up to the jet.
Walsh: You're telling me we have a jet?
Morgan: It's a recent thing.
Walsh: Maybe if they had a jet back home, I would've stayed there.
Morgan: I get what you mean. This thing is stylish.

On the flight, everyone was looking at the case file as Reid recapped.
Reid: His first victim was 26-year-old Melissa Kirsch. Stab wounds, strangulation...
