Strauss: "Please say your name and rank for the record."

JJ: "Supervisory special Agent Jennifer Jareau, communications liaison for the behavioral analysis unit in Quantico, Virginia."

Strauss: "And how long have you been a member of the BAU?"

JJ: "6 years."

Strauss: "Could you speak up, please?"

JJ: "Sorry. 6 years." she clears her throat before talking louder 

Strauss: "And have you worked under Agent Hotchner the entire time?"

JJ: "No, ma'am. I currently report to acting unit chief Derek Morgan."

Strauss: "Who took over the unit because Agent Hotchner's ability to lead the team had become compromised."

JJ: "I-I don't believe that's the reason."

Strauss: "You have a different opinion?"

JJ: "It's not just an opinion."

Strauss: "You have a different understanding?"

JJ: "SSA Hotchner voluntarily stepped down so we could continue to do our jobs unhindered."

Strauss: "How would you describe Agent Hotchner's recent behavior?" she sits on the opposite of the table across from Watson 

Watson: "Driven."

Strauss: "Driven" she sighs "Agent Watson, your entire team is on the line if I cannot reconcile an adequate account of Agent Hotchner's investigation into George Foyet."

Watson: "We were all investigating the Reaper. SSA Hotchner was not the only one, especially after he sent us that calling card."

Strauss: "The newspaper articles he mailed to Karl Arnold."

Watson: "2 letters from 2 different locations. They ramped us all back up again. I should just start at the beginning. Foyet had done a lot of injury to himself In the original string of killings, in an effort to paint himself as a victim and throw us off the investigation. As a result, he became dependent upon a large number of extremely strong medications. We'd been searching the country for patients with that exact prescription combination, but we hadn't had any luck." she goes into the story of how after talking to a pharmacist JJ figured out that Foyet could be using over-the-counter meds to substitute the ones he would need to take for his injuries

Strauss: "Would you like some water?"

Garcia: "No, thank you, ma'am."

Strauss: "Are you all right?"

Garcia: "I-I'm just not, uh, comfortable with any of this. It's not ok."

Strauss: "What do you mean?"

Garcia: "In my opinion, everyone is asking the wrong questions. Doesn't anybody care about what the Reaper did to them, how many people he hurt? All anyone seems to care about is...this just isn't right."

Strauss: "Do you think that Agent Hotchner was acting...agitated or unreasonable?"

Garcia: "He...no, no, he-he was freaked out about his family. Which, considering what happened, I'd say was perfectly reasonable."

JJ: "There's approximately 115 miles Between Fredericksburg and Westminster. Why mail a letter from 2 cities?"
