Risky Business

JJ: "Life is a game. Play it. Life is too precious. Do not destroy it." Mother Teresa."

On The Plane

Garcia: "Sir, it's not that I'm not glad to be coming with you, because I am. I just don't understand the why."

Hotch: "One of the aspects of an equivocal death investigation when suicide is a probability is an indirect personality assessment. Our victims are all internet generation kids. There should be invaluable personal data on their computers to mine for the evaluation"

Morgan: "If they committed suicide, evidence of it will probably in their cyber world."

Garcia: "So I'm gonna snoop through dead kids' computers?"

Rossi: "This plane seldom makes pleasure trips."

Hotch: "We've all been over the files. Let's talk about victimology."

Watson: "Ok. All 4 kids were decent students, from different neighboring towns but the same school and the same county."

Morgan: "Active in sports and community."

Emily: "Intact families, no mental disorders, no precipitating events."

Morgan: "These are just average good kids. There has to be some underlying issue."

Reid: "Besides relative proximity there's no obvious connection between any of them."

Hotch: "It seems to rule out an overt suicide pact."

Reid: "The first few days leading up to a teenager's suicide are usually very telling. Their behavior is transparent. There's a multitude of indicators."

JJ: "Yeah, but the most common don't exist here. There's no prior attempts, no period of deep depression, no withdrawal from family members, no spontaneous proclamations of love."

Emily: "Spontaneous proclamations of love?"

JJ: "Sometimes a suicidal person, in the days leading up to the act, will just blurt out "I love you" to family, sort of like a goodbye." she says as they all nod while looking at her for a moment

Hotch: "We'll start with the latest two victims. If they were suicides, let's find out what drove them to it."

Rhonda: "Hello. Rhonda Samuel." she greets when the team arrives in front of the station

JJ: "Hi. Agent Jareau. We spoke on the phone."

Rhonda: "Thanks for coming out. My county's getting pretty shook up. I got this reporter won't stop calling. I'm holding him off, but he's connecting the dots on the number of suicides. Should I call him back?"

JJ: "No, not just yet. We need to be very careful about when we release this information."

Morgan: "Sensationalizing these deaths may cause a domino effect with other kids."

Reid: "The term is suicide contagion. The spread of suicidal thoughts among a group of people that sometimes results in copycat acts. It's especially prevalent in teen cases, and studies suggest that media coverage is sometimes associated with more deaths."

Garcia: "Is there a good place for me to set up?"

Rhonda: "Don't have much of a command center."

Garcia: "Oh, fret not. I got my own command center. I just need your juice." she pats her computer bag

Rhonda: "You got it."

Morgan: "Hello, sir. We're with the FBI behavioral analysis unit." he greets when himself, Reid, and Watson arrive at on of the victims homes
