Hotch: "Hope everyone had a restful weekend." he says as they all sit around the meeting table, passing out folders
Elle: "That sounds ominous."
JJ: "Harringtonville, Tennessee, population 5,000. 64 years since they've had a homicide. They've had 2 in the past 48 hours."
Hotch: "First victim, 57-year-old widower and grandfather Paul Thompson. Ambushed in his yard, 18 stab wounds to his chest and his neck. No forced entry into the house and the only item taken was a shotgun."
JJ: "Last night, Annie Stuart, 39, was also ambushed and it appears bludgeoned to death in her home with Thompson's stolen shotgun. In this case, the unsub apparently stole CDs DVDs, and a little jewelry." she says as they put the victims pictures on the screen
Morgan: "This is a little extreme for a burglary."
Elle: "That's an understatement."
Hotch: "As you can see, Annie's throat was eviscerated."
Reid: "Yet the first victim wasn't eviscerated and the unsub seems to have used a different weapon at each crime scene."
Hotch: "2 different M.O.s."
Watson: "2 different killers?"
Gideon: "Or one very psychotic individual." he says as they turn to see him in the doorway with crutches
Hotch: "What happened to you?" Gideon: "I got a list of things I want to try before it's too late."
Elle: "And orthopedic surgery's one of them?"
Gideon: "No, skydiving. Apparently it's all about the landing." he says making everyone chuckle a little
Hotch: "How long on the crutches?"
Gideon: "Just a couple days."
Watson: "So you can't go out in the field?"
Hotch: "Not on crutches, no."
Gideon: "Don't worry. I'll find a way to be helpful here. Got a blitz attack. No effort to remove the body, clean up evidence." he says looking at the folder on the table
Hotch: "With organized killers, we see a pattern we're able to predict their behavior but with psychotic killers, they're guided by a given delusion."
Morgan: "Ok, until we understand the nature of the delusion we can't predict his next move."
Hotch: "That's nearly impossible to do."
Reid: "Actually, I think we might have a clue. These rings at that crime scene might be some kind of signature?" he says looking at a picture with three red rings
Gideon: "I can work this angle. I'll see if there's any significance to the patterns."
Hotch: "Psychotic killers are normally not that difficult to catch because they don't try to hide."
