Shemar Moore: Derek Morgan

Quotes 

• Aaron Hotchner : And to Dr. Spencer Reid who may be adding MD to an already impressive list of credentials

  Derek Morgan : And to Spencer Johnson, that he prove to be the child prodigy like his name says

  Alex Blake : How on earth did you know what to do?

  Dr. Spencer Reid : When JJ was pregnant with Henry I memorized the delivery manuals, just in case she went into labor in the field. I have to admit the practical application did not quite live up to the theory.

• Dr. Spencer Reid : His area of control is relatively small and includes a number of residential and commercials buildings. In fact in a 3 miles radius in a city of a population of 636,479 over 48.2 miles broken approximately 39,549.23 people living in his comfort zone

  Derek Morgan : How many of them male?

  Dr. Spencer Reid : 18,944.08

• Penelope Garcia : If the name Ashley is on Scott's phone, I can't find it.

  Derek Morgan : Penelope, this is sounding more like cubic zirconia.

  Penelope Garcia : Bite your pretty tongue. I didn't stop at the first rejection. I did what you guys did; I profiled the guy. Scotty is a ladies' man, gets a lot of names and numbers, gotta keep track of 'em all. What's a playa to do, playa?

  Derek Morgan : He gave her a nickname.

  Penelope Garcia : "Baby Girl" was already taken. But "Bunny" wasn't.

• Derek Morgan : Talk to me, baby girl.

  Penelope Garcia : You better get ready to go down on one knee, because this BG boo just won herself one hell of a diamond!

• Aaron Hotchner : The unsub we're looking for is a dangerous voyeur, who feeds off the thrill of knowing his victims can't see him.

  Dr. Spencer Reid : Typically, voyeurs are non-violent and content to remain bystanders. This one is different; he's on a mission that includes taking action.

  Aaron Hotchner : And in that mission, he didn't hesitate to kill a teenage boy. Anyone who stands between him and his goal is at risk.

  Alex Blake : We believe he's documenting his work. He's taking pictures and collects personal connections to his victims; their wallets and their hair.

  David Rossi : It's important to him to have proof of what he's doing.

  Derek Morgan : Voyeurs like to create fantasies in their heads of what the objects of their obsession should be like.

  David Rossi : He creates a character identity instead of a reality, and when a person steps outside of the parameters that the unsub has set for them, he strikes.

  Jennifer Jareau : This unsub appears to be triggered by males acting on what he perceives to be character flaws. Seemingly innocuous infractions to us are magnified in the unsub's psychosis.

  Aaron Hotchner : Based on the planning and sophistication of the kills, we believe that he's in his late thirties or forties.

  Dr. Spencer Reid : The geographic profile tells us this unsub is not only dumping his victims downtown, he's hunting there, too.

  Derek Morgan : So this is where we need to redouble our efforts. Go building to building, door to door. This guy's a fly on the wall; he's able to leanr secrets without anyone realizing he's there.

  Alex Blake : He'll have a job that involves very little social interaction, but that puts him in a position where he can observe others unnoticed.

  Jennifer Jareau : So we should look at service workers, groundskeepers, anyone paid to be invisible.

  Aaron Hotchner : And we need to move quickly. This unsub is approaching some sort of perceived deadline. The closer it gets, the more erratic and dangerous he'll become.

• Penelope Garcia : Beantown has turned into Chokeville. Three victims, all male, wallets stolen.

  Aaron Hotchner : The unsub uses a garrote to strangle his victims. He strikes at night, and there have been no witnesses.

  David Rossi : How much did he get?

  Aaron Hotchner : What's odd. Each of the victims' socio-economically is lower to middle class. It's doubtful there would have been much cash, and there have been no charge attempts on any of the credit cards.

  Alex Blake : So the murders might not be about money at all. Taking the wallets could be a forensic countermeasure to delay victim identification.

  Penelope Garcia : That could be the sitch with the first two victims, but the latest one, Scott Delfino, he was on the phone with his roommate when he was attacked; call cut out unexpectedly, repeated callbacks went straight to voicemail.

  Aaron Hotchner : And Delfino's body was found an hour later, indications were that he'd been blitzed.

  Dr. Spencer Reid : Which speaks to the killer's prep work, but also his desperation. He chose a location to lay in wait, but wasn't capable of adapting to a target on the phone.

  Jennifer Jareau : Well, that could be arrogance getting in the way, making his organization appear mixed. To me, that screams false confidence.

  Derek Morgan : Which means the desperation is what's driving him. It's not about the kills, it's about what the murders represent.

  Jennifer Jareau : He's mission oriented. He doesn't want to kill them, he has to.

  David Rossi : Which suggests the unsub has no personal connection to his victims.

  Alex Blake : Except choking as a kill method is extremely personal. He feels each victim take their last breath.

  Derek Morgan : What if the wallets are a form of depersonalization? He's stripping his victims of their identities.

  Dr. Spencer Reid : Which means he may feel stripped of his own. If the wallets are trophies, he could be seeking recognition for his work.

  Aaron Hotchner : And he may not stop killing until he gets that recognition. Let's go.

• David Rossi : He killed a woman this time.

  Aaron Hotchner : Yeah. She's also the first one he covered up. This is remorse. She wasn't part of the plan.

  David Rossi : Which explains why he moved the body. She wasn't killed here.

  Alex Blake : The garrote was used postmortem. C.O.D. appears to be blunt-force trauma to the back of the head.

  David Rossi : He didn't do a good job of covering this up.

  Aaron Hotchner : He's panicking. We find where she was killed, we find him.

  Alex Blake : Except no one even knows what her name is.

  David Rossi : No ID, just a phone.

  [Rossi plays the phone's voicemail] 

  Derek Morgan : Hi, my name is Derek Morgan with the FBI. I'm trying to locate a woman, first name Ashley. It's extremely important.

  David Rossi : This is Ashley.

• Dr. Spencer Reid : Guys, something's wrong. The umbilical cord's wrapped around the baby's throat.

  Hannah Johnson : No.

  Tanner Johnson : What?

  Derek Morgan : Well, Reid, do something.

  Dr. Spencer Reid : I need something to cut the cord with, quickly.

  Tanner Johnson : [hands scissors to Reid]  Use these.
