Hope (2011)

Paget Brewster: Emily Prentiss

Quotes 

• Dr. Spencer Reid : You know, rethinking the type of offender he was seven years ago, it's possible the UnSub didn't sexually assault Hope initially but waited until she was older.

  Emily Prentiss : Well, that would explain why he held on to her all this time. In his fantasy, he might envision Hope at a more desirable age.

  David Rossi : What story did he use to get into the support group?

  Jennifer Jareau : Well, he told them his pregnant wife committed suicide. Apparently they were trying to conceive for over a year.

  David Rossi : Hope couldn't bear the thought of bringing his child into this world, so she took what little control she did have and ended her life.

  Emily Prentiss : And that was never part of his plan. Turned his world upside down.

  David Rossi : He's not ready to let go of the bond he had with Hope.

  Dr. Spencer Reid : And now he's trying to get back what was taken from him.

  Emily Prentiss : Wouldn't it just be easier for him to start over again?

  David Rossi : Unless Monica could give him what he lost - another Hope. He didn't take Monica to remind him of Hope. He took her... to recreate her.
