Gideon: Albert Einstein said, "Whoever sets himself up as judge in the field of truth and knowledge is shipwrecked by the laughter of the Gods."

Garcia: "We have a C.I.A. escort, ok? It's weird, a little scary." she hums, stepping off the elevator with Watson, Reid, and JJ
JJ: "What do you suppose this is all about?"
Reid: "Call me cynical, but considering it's 2 a.m., I doubt it's good news."
Watson: "You are a genius." she hums, shaking her head with a scoff as they head into the meeting room
Hotch: "The C.I.A.'s counterterrorism unit is engaged in a mission to save one of its informants. They suspect one of their agents is a mole. Until the identity of that mole is discovered, they've locked down the unit."
Gideon: "This gives us the opportunity to profile the unsub up close. Go ahead."
Man: "Let's start the video feed."
Hotch: "John Summers was the C.I.A.'s best field agent in the middle east. 3 nights ago he was found in his home in Washington. He'd been tortured and murdered."
Gideon: "The C.I.A. made it look like suicide."
Reid: "Mm, how'd you like to have that job?"
Morgan: "Guys, look at the wound patterns. They come from two distinct angles. Different heights. One's right-handed and one's left-handed. Looks to me like he was tortured by more than 2 people."
Elle: "Hotch, what was Summers working on?"
Hotch: "Aaliyah Nadir, had been beaten and sexually assaulted at the hands of her husband, Hassan Nadir. That's how Summers flipped her and got her to work for the C.I.A."
JJ: "What's the husband's story?"
Hotch: "He's a diplomat for the Saudi government, but he's a fund-raiser for major terrorist organizations."
Gideon: "Aaliyah gave Summers intelligence on terrorist organizations the C.I.A. had never been able to penetrate. Organizations Hassan, her husband, funneled money to."
Watson: "And Hassan realized he had a leak?"
Hotch: "Yes, but he didn't know who. For Aaliyah's protection, Summers never revealed her identity to the C.I.A. until about 8 weeks ago. The C.I.A. arranged papers for her, and Summers brought her and her children to the U.S. about a month ago."
Gideon: "Only Summers knew where he hid her."
JJ: "What did Hassan think happened to his family?"
Hotch: "Car accident. Bodies too disfigured to identify. Only the C.I.A. knew it was staged until Hassan arrived in Washington last week under diplomatic cover."
Reid: "Only someone in this unit could have given Hassan information about his family."
Watson: "And now he's here looking for her. Why us?"
Gideon: "Over the years, I've conducted psychological evaluations on every field agent in that unit."
Garcia: "You worked for the C.I.A.?"
Gideon: "Not officially."
Hotch: "The train's running. And if we stop this mission, even for a second, Aaliyah and her children are as good as dead."

Gideon: "Don't remove your firearm."
Hotch: "U.S. soil. Federal building."
