Hotch: "You aren't sure whether anyone is in fact missing." he says as JJ calls everybody into the meeting room to discuss a potential case Detective: "No, I-I am sure. I just can't seem to convince anyone else of it." Hotch: "There's been no official investigation?" Detective: "No." JJ: "63 people can't be coincidence, right?" Morgan: "Reid, any stats on the percentages of, um...well, I don't really know how to phrase the question." Reid: "Homeless who go missing? The very nature of homelessness suggests a lifestyle of fluidity, yet honestly, they're not as transient as you would think. They generally stay in small, well-defined areas based on familiarity and what services are nearby." Detective: "So-so you're saying they don't just disappear." Reid: "Not normally, but I mean, that doesn't preclude the possibility." Garcia: "Names, addresses, descriptions. Do-do you have any information that might help us find them again?" Detective: "I- I didn't have a need for it at the time." Watson: "Do you have enough here to see if they've been reported missing by someone?" Garcia: "I don't- I don't know." Detective: "I- I ran them all through our computers and came up blank." Gideon: "None of them turned up deceased? Checked the morgues and the hospitals?" Detective: "I-I have checked everywhere, sir." Hotch: "Simply being gone isn't a federal issue." Gideon: "We're gonna need an official invitation into your jurisdiction." Detective: "An official?" Hotch: "Police chief, chief of detectives. It has to come down through the chain of command. We have no authority to look into this." Detective: "Um, I don't know that I- I can do that." Hotch: "Unless we're officially asked, we can't help you." Gideon: "Jurisdictional issues aren't open for debate. Sorry. It's out of our hands." JJ: "Uh, Hotch...there could be 63 victims here." Hotch: "Well, I suppose you and I could go back with the detective and talk to his commanders and try to impress upon them the serious implications." Detective: "Thank you." Hotch: "If we get an invitation, we could send for the rest of you. I just don't want to give the appearance that we're running over them." Gideon: "I'll wrap my class up. If anything changes, let me know. I should be available by 4:00." he says folding his newspaper up as him and Hotch walk out the room Hotch: "JJ be ready in 30." Detective: "Agent. Um, sir. He-he took 2 of my books." Emily: "Uh, if you could leave your notebooks with us, we can unofficially go over them and maybe develop some more information." Detective: "How about I show you, uh, which people aren't around anymore and you can copy down all the information." he says taking a notebook gently out of Garcia's hand as the others look at his fridgety movements Morgan: "Ok. Well, you heard agent Hotchner. You got 30 minutes to brief us on 63 people." Detective: "Ok. Um..."
Hotch: "Of all the preposterous assumptions of humanity, nothing exceeds the criticisms made of the habits of the poor by the well-housed well-warmed, and well-fed. Herman Melville."
Emily: "Damn." she says as they put notecards with people's names on a board Morgan: "That is a lot of people." Reid: "Homeless men, homeless women, runaways, prostitutes, and drug users." Watson: "Can all of their disappearances be a coincidence?" Reid: "Yeah, technically it wouldn't really be a coincidence since a number of these people share high-risk traits, which throws the curve off. You see, the word "coincidence" implies more-" Morgan: "Hey, kid, we do not need a vocabulary lesson right now." Reid: "Right. Sorry." he says, giving an awkward smile Morgan: "What was it the Yorkshire Ripper said about his victims?" Reid: "The women I killed were filth, bastard prostitutes that were littering the streets. I was just cleaning up the place a bit." Morgan: "He's a housecleaner." Watson: "Mission-based killer who believes his murders are helping society." Morgan: "These guys devolve rapidly until they're just killing machines." Emily: "And our hands are tied by jurisdictional concerns?" Morgan: "Well, what are we supposed to do? If we don't follow the city's jurisdiction, no one's gonna ever ask us for help. We do it by the book. Then we pray...that no one else gets hurt in the meantime."
