Ashes and Dust

Danny: "You promised. You said you'd be there." he says as he follows Naomi into the living room
Naomi: "I know. I'm sorry but I can't exactly help that my job is unpredictable. Besides it's not like it's something we can't reschedule later."
Danny: "We were supposed to have dinner with my family."
Naomi: "And your family knows the type of job I have. They'll understand."
Danny: "Are you serious?"
Naomi: "You realize you're making a big deal out of potentially nothing. It could be a small case."
Danny: "None of your cases are small."
Naomi: "Fine if it's so important then we can go this weekend."
Danny: "I have work."
Naomi: "Then next week."
Danny: "It was supposed to be this week." he says making her sigh out as her phone dings
Naomi: "I have to go. Can we argue about this later."
Danny: "You're walking out. Thought we said not to do that when one of us is upset."
Naomi: "I'm not walking out. I'm going to work. We'll talk later." she says walking out the apartment

Hotch: "The torture of a bad conscience is the hell of a living soul." John calvin.

JJ: "Two fires, two families in three weeks. The first family, the Jarvis', all died. Last night, the Cutlers. Only one survivor, Charlotte Cutler, she's in critical condition with burns to over 60% of her body."
Emily: "Well, it's no accident. It's the same M.O. No fuses, kerosene, multiple points of origin, families targeted at home while they slept."
Hotch: "The bay area has a serial arsonist."
Reid: "Statistically,94% of all serial arsonists are male, 75% are white, and few if any, are ever caught."
Emily: "Few? You don't have a percentage?"
Reid: "About 16%, and those 16% set 30-plus fires before they were ever apprehended. I'm trying to be more conversational."
Emily: "Oh. It's not working." she says making Morgan chuckle a little
Watson: "Most serial arsonists don't intend to inflict harm. Injuries or death, those are accidental. It's not about violence."
Hotch: "For this one it is."
Gideon: "It's also about power. Seeing the destructive force of their fires. Watching the chaos, for them, fire's just a substitute for sexual release."
Garcia: "Oh,great, so if these guys don't get laid, they start fires?"
Gideon: "Or in this case, burn entire families to death."
Emily: "No statistic?" she asks as Reid shakes his head no
Gideon: "Nope. They don't have statistics on this guy. One of a kind."
Garcia: "Thank god."
Reid: "Three weeks ago, this serial arsonist escalated into a serial killer whose weapon is fire. Why?"
Hotch: "Major event. Possibly the breakup of his primary sexual outlet. The separation, the loss."
Gideon: "All right what about the victims?"
JJ: "SFPD can't connect the Jarvis' and the Cutlers, but witnesses put an unidentified late model gold Sedan near both fires."
Hotch: "Run the car. Garcia, run the victims through the system, if there's any connection we need to find it."
Garcia: "Yes, sir."
Hotch: "Reid we need victimology. I'll go see Charlotte Cutler."
Gideon: "You took the burn ward last time."
Hotch: "It's all right. I got it."

Watson: "I'm sorry. You know you act like this is something new to you. You're acting like a child right now." she says on the phone with Danny when he suddenly hangs up making her sigh in annoyance before grabbing her bag
Reid: "Everything alright?"
Watson: "It's Danny" she says as they walk towards the elevator "He's been all twitchy for the past two weeks and he wanted us to drive up to his parents house today for a family dinner."
Reid: "Do you know why?"
Watson: "No idea. Everytime I tried asking he would change the subject."
Reid: "You want to ask Hotch if you can stay here?"
Watson: "No. He knows what kind of job I have. Hell he's been with me for three years. You would think he would know that I can't just drop everything because he wants to do something."
