- Penelope Garcia: Hey, could you check my refrigerator and see if I have enough hot sauce?
- Dr. Spencer Reid: You have some jalapeno sauce here next to this jar of eyeballs.
- Dr. Spencer Reid: What used to be up here? The dirt road leading in seems rather substantial
- Sgt. Joe Mahaffey: Salt mining. Hauled this stuff out by the truckloads. These hills filled a hell of a lot saltshakers
- Dr. Spencer Reid: Actually less than 6% of salt in the US is used for food. The fast majority goes for de-icing roads and snow control
- Sgt. Joe Mahaffey: Told Dr. Reid he could use my office. Must be 30 books piled up on my desk
- Jennifer Jareau: Well, that's either light bedtime reading or he is actually onto something
- Dr. Spencer Reid: [opening quote] "After all, what is every man but a horde of ghosts? Oaks that were acorns that were oaks" - Walter de la Mare
- Penelope Garcia: [with fake blood running down on her cheeks] You didn't even flinch. JJ's right. I told her I wanted to go scary this Halloween, and she just laughed at me, and she said that I don't have a scary side.
- Dr. Spencer Reid: I'm sorry. If it makes you feel any better, you probably do.
- Penelope Garcia: Really?
- Dr. Spencer Reid: Yeah. The building blocks of the human personality are complex, varied, and multi-faceted. It's essential to one's mental health to want to express these hidden personalities, and... it's just a fact of nature that everybody has one.
- Penelope Garcia: Everybody? You have one?
- Dr. Spencer Reid: Oh, absolutely. Yeah.
- Penelope Garcia: Okay, okay. I want to see it. I want to see Dr. Spencer Reid's hidden personality.
- Dr. Spencer Reid: Uh, you, right here? Like right now you want to see it?
- Penelope Garcia: I have fake blood running down my cheeks. Right here, right now.
- Dr. Spencer Reid: Okay. Once you see it, you can't unsee it.
- Penelope Garcia: Okay.
- Dr. Spencer Reid: I know what you're thinking. You're thinking, "Did that guy just fire five shots?" or "Did that guy just fire six shots?" You're gonna have to ask yourself a question. Do you feel lucky, punk?... That was Clint Eastwood in Dirty Harry. I mean, I know it's not as effective as my dominant personality, but I feel like there's...
- Penelope Garcia: Hey, look, we gotta go.
- Dr. Spencer Reid: These eyeballs, do they need to be refrigerated?
- Dr. Spencer Reid: No, it's cool.
- Dr. Spencer Reid: [puts a photo next to Maeve's] It's Nikola Tesla. I figured he's probably been inventing things on the other side, so hopefully, he'll bring something to us.
- Sgt. Joe Mahaffey: [to JJ, about Reid who is reading giant print-outs spread out on the floor] I've learned to stop asking questions about this guy!
- Jennifer Jareau: Do you know the boyfriends whereabouts?
- Penelope Garcia: He's in Alaska, so his alibi is a solid as a pre-globally warmed glacier!
- Alex Blake: Fingernail polish was removed... crudely!
- Linda Grunwell, M.E.: A mixture of citrus juice and vinegar. And when that didn't do the trick the polish was roughly scraped off with a sharp object
- David Rossi: Not how I remembered my ex-wives removing their polish
- Alex Blake: Well, this was done to her, not by her
- Aaron Hotchner: Mr. Sykes, we're investigating a murder. And I don't speak in parables, so this should be very easy to understand: if you interfere with us in any way, I will see to it that you are charged with, and prosecuted for, obstruction of justice.
- Dr. Spencer Reid: Just sedimentary conglomerates with rounded clasts
- Sgt. Joe Mahaffey: If you say so
- Dr. Spencer Reid: The pattern in the branding mark has design characteristics similar to family crests from the late middle ages. I found this encyclopedia of heraldry and look.
- Aaron Hotchner: It's the seal of William Stoughton, a magistrate.
- Dr. Spencer Reid: Check when and where he's a magistrate.
- David Rossi: Salem, Massachusetts, 1692.
- Dr. Spencer Reid: Stoughton was the lead prosecutor in the Salem witch trials.
- Aaron Hotchner: So this UnSub believes he's hunting witches.
- Yvonne Carpenter: Was it my daughter?
- Leland Duncan: Your daughter?
- Yvonne Carpenter: Was she the one who betrayed me?
- Leland Duncan: Your child is also a witch. Why would she help me?
- Yvonne Carpenter: No. She's a witch hunter. Like you. She tried to remove the curses I put on people.
- Leland Duncan: You lie.
- Yvonne Carpenter: It's the truth. I can prove it. She has the mark of the angel. It's on her hairline, just behind her left ear. Look.
- [Duncan sees the mark]
- Yvonne Carpenter: You see it, don't you?
- Leland Duncan: ...Mark of the angel.
- Jennifer Jareau: So, I looked it up. No witches were ever burned at the stake in Salem.
- David Rossi: Really?
- Jennifer Jareau: Death by fire was strictly a European thing.
- David Rossi: Moral of the story, be selective where you practice your witchcraft.
- Aaron Hotchner: We're looking for a physically fit male from his late twenties to mid-thirties.He's brazen, confident, and organized.
- Derek Morgan: This person may be a moral vigilante. Abby Stafford had drug issues, Gloria Carlyle moved in with her boyfriend, Parker Mills was a sexual deviant.
- Dr. Spencer Reid: Moral vigilantism typically has its roots in repression and guilt. This generally manifests itself in low self-esteem and self-loathing. By punishing others, the unsub may also be punishing himself.
- Aaron Hotchner: He's also literally branding his victims. We're not sure why, but he's likely marking them as his own.
- Alex Blake: His organizational skills suggest someone who can get and keep a full-time job.
- David Rossi: But the work is likely low-level. His impaired social development would not allow him to move very far in the professional world.
- Jennifer Jareau: Consequently, this is someone most comfortable working in solitude, having minimal interaction with others.
- Derek Morgan: And this makes it a challenge to determine how and where this person is choosing his victims.
- Dr. Spencer Reid: The two female victims were reserved and studious; Parker Mills lived quietly in the margins of conventional society.
- Jennifer Jareau: So the killer may frequent or work in locations that attracts this type of person. Uh, places of solitude, contemplation.
- Alex Blake: Museums, gardens and parks, bookstores.
- David Rossi: His choice of a city square, rather than a remote canyon, means he's gaining confidence.
- Derek Morgan: But the recklessness of killing in such a public space suggests that this confidence may be stemming from a delusion.
- Jennifer Jareau: He may believe he's in a place in time that makes him invulnerable.
- Aaron Hotchner: And if his delusion is gaining in strength, then his next killing may be riskier and more dramatic. Thank you.
- Jennifer Jareau: We profiled the unsub as delusional. What if Stoughton being a great-great-great whatever is just part of his delusion?
- Aaron Hotchner: Or the discovery of being a direct descendant triggered the delusion.
- Dr. Spencer Reid: He'd look into his ancestry.
- Sgt. Joe Mahaffey: That would be easy to do here. Salt Lake City has the largest family history library in the world.
- Dr. Spencer Reid: Why are you doing a Day of the Dead theme?
- Penelope Garcia: Well, my stepfather's family always made a big deal of it in Mexico, and my name is Penelope Garcia after all, so...
- [last lines]
- David Rossi: Well, I guess this is proof positive that ancestry ain't all bad.
- Penelope Garcia: How about a toast to the 30 or 40 of us?
- Dr. Spencer Reid: Cheers!
- Derek Morgan: Cheers!
- Jennifer Jareau: Cheers!
- David Rossi: Salute!
- Linda Grunwell, M.E.: I've seen some bad ones in my fifteen years, but this was... bad.
- Alex Blake: What was the C.O.D.?
- Linda Grunwell, M.E.: It's hard to pinpoint. Virtually every bone in her body was crushed, and every major organ ruptured. My guess is skull fracture, but honestly, any one of these internal injuries might have killed her.
- David Rossi: What about the lacerations? Could they have been defensive wounds?
- Linda Grunwell, M.E.: No, they were in a distinct pattern. Quite deep, and severe, on the radius and ulna, but carefully placed so as not to cause death.
- Alex Blake: There would be substantial bleeding from a wound like that.
- Linda Grunwell, M.E.: Absolutely.
- David Rossi: Yet there was minimal blood at the crime scene.
- Alex Blake: The victim suffered the lacerations and burnings somewhere else, then was taken to the canyon to be killed.
- David Rossi: But why not make it one-stop shopping? Transporting her alive, even a short distance, would increase the risk significantly.
- Linda Grunwell, M.E.: The tox report did show traces of chloropromizine in her system.
- Alex Blake: A tranquilizer. That was what he used to control her.
- Jennifer Jareau: What's up, Spence?
- Dr. Spencer Reid: There's something strange about this one branch of the family tree. Garcia?
- Penelope Garcia: Talk to me. I am fluent in genius.
- Dr. Spencer Reid: Roy and Becky Danary. They died in 1985, leaving behind a son named William Danary, but there's no record of what happened to him.
- Penelope Garcia: The Danarys were Peace Corps workers in Ecuador. They died in a car accident there... and you're right, their kid just sort of vanished. Let me do some digging, and I will call you back.
