Quotes 

• 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

• 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.

• 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.

• 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!

• 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.
