Hotch: "So the music's not added like a regular soundtrack. It's in the background, so if you turn it down, you also turn down the voices." he says as they sit in the meeting room watching a video of a woman being tortured

Morgan: "Can we get Garcia to separate the audio tracks?"

Hotch: "She's working on it now."

Morgan: "The sooner we hear how he talks to the victim, the sooner we'll know what kind of man we're dealing with."

Gideon: "Tell us about Laura Clemensen."

JJ: "20 years old. Sophomore at Jacksonville University in Florida. Assumed to be the fifth in a series of rapes and murders over the past two years. Some women were abducted in parking lots, others while they were running."

Hotch: "And when was she reported missing?"

JJ: "Technically she wasn't. Roommate thought she was visiting family. Family thought she was at school."

Hotch: "Close to her family?"

JJ: "Very. She had dinner with them on sunday."

Hotch: "That was 5 days ago, and nobody's seen her until now."

Watson: "She wasn't killed on the tape. And given forensics, other victims were tortured for weeks before they were killed, so I think we should operate as if she's still alive."

Elle: "Not for long, if the bastard gets his way."

Morgan: "Okay, I don't get it. This is the fifth abduction and now the second DVD. Why'd they wait to call us in?"

JJ: "The last victim's family received this DVD two months ago. Jacksonville P.D. thought maybe they'd get some more clues instead of just raise more questions."

Gideon: "Turn that down, please." he says as JJ pauses the video

Reid: "There seems to be a natural escalation to the murders. It began as brutal attacks against the victims, and now it's psychological attacks to the families."

Hotch: "So if the thrill of the kill isn't enough to satisfy his sadistic needs, he needs to spread panic, and he thrives on that."

Reid: "Sadistic killers are typically strangers to their victims. It's easier for the offender to torture and kill someone that they don't know."

Gideon: "Offenders. Man on the tape isn't doing this just for himself. He's playing to an audience, not her family. Someone watching who can appreciate what he's doing, admire his sadistic skills." he says playing the video once again

Reid: "It is a characteristic of partners to record their crimes so they can relive the fantasy later."

Elle: "How can we be sure?" she asks as they look at the footage a little more closely

Watson: "Right there. The camera moves."

Gideon: "One guy tortures while the other records it. Master and servant."
