Kirsten Vangsness: Penelope Garcia

Quotes 

• Emily Prentiss : I have a strange request. I need you to find Luke's phone.

  Penelope Garcia : Okay.

  [typing] 

  Penelope Garcia : Uh, Luke is at home.

  Emily Prentiss : Ahh, he's smart. He'd leave his phone. Look, I hate to do this, but... Grant isn't the only one with skills. When Luke was a manhunter, he'd go undercover. That means fake identities and multiple phones. I need to see if any of those phones are active now.

  Penelope Garcia : Okay. That-that's gonna take a minute. What do you think he's up to?

  Emily Prentiss : I'm afraid Luke might take matters into his own hands.

• Luke Alvez : Morning, Garcia.

  Penelope Garcia : Mmm! How dare you bury the lede? How did the big move-in go?

  Luke Alvez : It was great.

  Penelope Garcia : So Lisa's all moved in?

  Luke Alvez : She is.

  Penelope Garcia : Details. Luke, give me details, or I'm gonna get grumpy with you like I used to.

  Luke Alvez : We packed up the last few things in Lisa's old apartment, she handed in the keys, came home, unpacked a few more boxes. Oh, and then Lou and Phil came over.

  Penelope Garcia : Lou! How is my sweet, sweet Lou?

  Luke Alvez : High energy. Yeah, I mean, he really wears Roxy out. She sleeps for, like, two days straight after he visits.

• Luke Alvez : Lisa says thanks for the wall hanging that you made us.

  Penelope Garcia : She likes it?

  Luke Alvez : She loves it.

  Penelope Garcia : Fantastic. I really think it's gonna bring the whole living room together because it's, like, powerful without being overpowering, you know?

• Luke Alvez : You ready to fight crime?

  Penelope Garcia : Oh, born ready. Bring it.

• Penelope Garcia : Three victims in three days: Rick Salazar, Michael Williams, and John Reynoso. Each was shot in the back of the head with a .40 caliber pistol.

  Emily Prentiss : They lived in different states running south along the eastern seaboard. John, the most recent, was in nearby Bethesda, Maryland.

  David Rossi : Execution style. Could be professional.

• Penelope Garcia : Guys. Bad news.

  Emily Prentiss : A fourth victim already?

  Penelope Garcia : Paul McEntee. Arlington, Virginia, just south of here. He's an accountant, lived alone. I sent all the files to your tablet and phones.

  Emily Prentiss : Any luck with WITSEC?

  Penelope Garcia : Not yet. And I've been scouring any pertinent FBI databases. Nothing there, either.

  Dr. Spencer Reid : Two kills in less than a day. He's speeding up.

  Emily Prentiss : Well, if our unsub's a hit man, he's moving fast to avoid detection. He might be near the end of his list.

  Dr. Spencer Reid : I'm still not convinced he is a hit man. If he's a vigilante or moral enforcer, the shortening cooling-down period could be a sign he's losing control.

  Emily Prentiss : Spence, you, Dave, and Tara go to Bethesda. Luke and I will head to the M.E.'s office, take a look at the latest victim. I'll have Matt and JJ go to Arlington.

• Luke Alvez : This is Eduardo Ramos. He's the most feared sicario in Mexico.

  Penelope Garcia : A sicario's a hit man, yeah?

  Dr. Tara Lewis : Specifically, hit men that work for Mexican drug cartels.

  Luke Alvez : Now, he's with the Martinez cartel. They're one of the most dangerous around.

  Dr. Tara Lewis : Well, look, the M.O. of these guys is typically brutal. What makes Ramos most feared?

  Luke Alvez : His unrelenting focus and a complete lack of boundaries. He's got no moral code. I mean, if you're his target, he doesn't stop until you're dead. If that means going through every man, woman, and child, he does. No hesitation. Someone else, you might be able to buy your way out of it. Not Ramos. There's no bribing him, there's no appealing to his senses. Eduardo Ramos is a killing machine that never fails.

• Luke Alvez : Inspector Silva was wrong. Ramos stayed in prison for three years, and then he broke out and vanished. Now, both the DEA and the FBI believed he'd come back to get his revenge on the Martinez cartel because someone inside the cartel, and we never found out who, gave us the initial tip that led to his arrest.

  Dr. Tara Lewis : So, the trail that led to Paul McEntee's panic room may have started with the Martinez cartel, and if that's true, it likely involved drugs.

  Luke Alvez : Yeah. Garcia, we need you to go through the DEA database and find out if any of our victims are connected to the cartel.

  Penelope Garcia : Copy that.

  Luke Alvez : I also got the green light from Prentiss to bring in my buddy Phil. He's got a lot of contacts in the DEA. Maybe he can help.

• Luke Alvez : So, DNA from the latest crime scene confirms that our unsub is Jeremy Grant. He was a DEA sniper Phil and I worked with in Mexico when we were hunting Eduardo Ramos. We weren't tight, but we knew him a bit. He took orders well. He was good at his job. I lost touch with him after Mexico.

  Phil Brooks : Yeah, so did I.

  Matt Simmons : That's not uncommon after a mission. So, what happened?

  Penelope Garcia : [typing]  Jeremy Grant still works for the DEA. He lives in Mexico with his wife and two daughters. Wow, he was practically Ramos' neighbor. Uh, he's lived in Mexico for over ten years. Both of his daughters were born there.

  [seeing a report pop up] 

  Penelope Garcia : He was just put on mandatory bereavement for... oh, my.

  Emily Prentiss : [looking over her shoulder]  His wife and children were all murdered in the family's home. They were all forced to drink bleach before being shot twice in the back of the head with a .40 caliber pistol. It must be Ramos.

  Phil Brooks : Where was Grant when it happened?

  Penelope Garcia : He was out of the country on assignment. He discovered the bodies.

  Luke Alvez : Somehow, Ramos must have gotten a list of everybody involved with his arrest. And he went after the Grants first because they lived the closest. After that, he likely would have gone after Silva and his men, and then crossed stateside and come after us. But Grant got to him first.

• Dr. Spencer Reid : We profiled Grant as either a hit man or a moral enforcer, but he's actually both. He's a moral enforcer posing as a hit man. It's the perfect cover.

  Emily Prentiss : We need to find everyone associated with the cartel in this immediate area. That's where he's heading next.

  Jennifer Jareau : [entering]  The DEA's just given us three more suspected Martinez cartel contacts in the D.C. area. I just sent you all their info, Garcia.

  Penelope Garcia : On it. Ken Ronson, Steve Bagnis, Kathleen Jensen. I've sent you their home and work addresses.

  Emily Prentiss : Phil, do you recognize any of them?

  Phil Brooks : No.

  Emily Prentiss : Okay, then we have to assume all three are still in play. Let's split up and go.

• Dr. Tara Lewis : Hey, what's the matter?

  Penelope Garcia : Luke and Lisa.

  Dr. Tara Lewis : Wh-what about 'em?

  Penelope Garcia : I-I don't know, it's just a gut call, but-but I think... I think Lisa's in trouble. Matt's on his way to their house right now.

  Dr. Tara Lewis : Okay, I'll get Rossi and JJ. We'll meet him there.

  Penelope Garcia : Okay.

  [as Tara leaves] 

  Penelope Garcia : Oh, dear god. Oh, dear god, please not again. This team has gone through enough.

• Emily Prentiss : Garcia, we're minutes away from the marina.

  Penelope Garcia : Turn around. Turn around right now. Jeremy Grant is in Baltimore at the port.

  Matt Simmons : But we already ruled out that port.

  Penelope Garcia : I know, but Luke.

  Matt Simmons : What about him?

  Emily Prentiss : I had a hunch about Luke, so I had Garcia keep tabs on all the phones he used during his undercover days in the manhunter unit.

  Penelope Garcia : Yeah, and all those phones are dead except for one, and it is pinging right at the port.

  Emily Prentiss : Thanks, Garcia. We're turning around.
