Garcia: "He left everything, except the photographs." she says after they've cleaned out Gideon's office Reid: "He always said those were like his family." he says blankly as he continues to read the letter Gideon left for him Garcia: "What should we do with all of this?"
JJ: "Ok, we have 4 victims in Oregon. 2 male, 2 female." Hotch: "I got this." JJ: "Uh, sure." Hotch: "I know that we've all been wondering what this was all about. And, uh...you know I've known Jason for many years, and I can tell you I have no idea. But it doesn't even matter. What matters is we're here, and we're gonna continue. Portland field office uncovered a mass grave with 3 bodies, killed 6 months ago. Nearby they found another body. Causes of death range from burning alive to asphyxiation. No sexual assault." Morgan: "Well, the torture's clearly sadistic." Reid: "The lack of sexual preferences could make it hard to tell if the unsub is male or female." Emily: "Typically, female serial killers stick to the same M.O. It looks like this guy's all over the place." Hotch: "Most recent victim is Jenny Wittman. Asphyxiated. Discovered yesterday." Watson: "How long was she missing?" Hotch: "She was never reported missing." Watson: "What about the others?" Hotch: "Only one." Reid: "One of 4?" JJ: "Rick Holland was reported missing 9 months ago, but the search was called off. " Hotch: "Family discovered his car at the train station. But more importantly, they received e-mails from him saying that he needed time to figure things out." Morgan: "And his family bought that?" Hotch: "Well, I guess the alternative was too hard to accept." Reid: "Reaching out could be a sign of remorse." Hotch: "Psychopaths don't apologize for their behavior. This guy's covering his tracks." Morgan: "Well, it's working." Emily: "So...3 victims he buried in one grave and then only Jenny Wittman in the other." Watson: "You thinking it's a pattern?" Emily: "Uh, it's hard to tell." Hotch: "If there is, it's one down...2 to go."
Hotch: "The Taoist philosopher Lao Tzu once wrote: He who controls others may be powerful, but he who has mastered himself is mightier still."
On the plane
Hotch: "Can we go over what Portland found?" JJ: "One female and 2 male victims found buried together in the same grave. All 25 to 30. All had been dead...6 months?" Watson: "That sounds like 3 different M.O.s." Reid: "Uh, Gary Taylor, the phantom sniper, was all over the map, just like this guy. He changed his M.O. As his need to control the situation changed." Hotch: "What about the fresh grave?" JJ: "Uh, female, 28, dead roughly 48 hours. She was asphyxiated." Morgan: "It's a good thing this guy's dump site has been compromised." Emily: "As soon as the unsub knows that, he may feel pressured that we're onto him. It could push him to make a mistake." Garcia: "Hey. You. Uh, down here." she whispers freaking out Reid a little Reid: "I knew that." Garcia: "Good thing you're handsome, doctor. Attention team members-this killer guy continues to stoop to an all-time low of lows by posing as his victims. He's also manipulated 2 of the families into thinking that everything was ok, even after they were reported missing. One of the fake e-mails was from their daughter. She said she met this guy and was taking him to her favorite place, Australia, for a couple of weeks. Family contacted the Australian authorities after too much time had passed." Morgan: "This guy sure knows a lot of personal informat nio about his victims." Emily: "How did he get access to their e-mail accounts?" Garcia: "Screen name was the same, but the domain was different. The families never noticed. When I find more pieces of the puzzle, you'll know. Garcia out." Hotch: "This guy's creative. Let's go over the details one more time just to make sure we haven't missed anything."
