Shemar Moore: Derek Morgan

Quotes 

• Dr. Spencer Reid : Hey, you wanna read? I always read when I'm anxious.

  [hands Derek a book] 

  Derek Morgan : [reads the title]  "The Magical Mathematics of Quantum Physics" - ah! Nope.

  [hands it back] 

  Derek Morgan : I'm good, I'll wait for the movie.

• Derek Morgan : Well, we can't cover everything! Texas is huge

  Dr. Spencer Reid : 286,581 square miles to be exact. Largest state in the contiguous 48 and the 2nd most populous. Don't mess with Texas!

• Jennifer Jareau : Bleeding internally from what?

  David Rossi : They think it's probably all the scar tissue.

  Dr. Spencer Reid : Torn adhesions from his stab wounds.

  Derek Morgan : George Foyet returns from the grave.

  Alex Blake : What's the prognosis?

  David Rossi : He's stable right now. They did an ultrasound, but they can't seem to see exactly where the bleeding was coming from.

  Dr. Spencer Reid : He'll need an exploratory laparotomy.

  Jennifer Jareau : Does Jack know?

  David Rossi : Not yet. We talked to Haley's sister Jessica. We didn't want to worry the little guy.

  Alex Blake : And what about Beth?

  David Rossi : I left a message, but she's on a business trip in Milan. Look, I know you're all worried; so am I, but a teenage girl's been abducted, and Hotch would want us to focus on the case, not on him, and that's exactly what we're gonna do. When the plane lands, Morgan, JJ, I want you to interview Samantha Wilcox's mother. Reid, Blake, you go check out the abduction site. I'm catching the next flight to Wichita and I'll meet you there.

  Alex Blake : What about Hotch?

  David Rossi : Garcia's here. She's not going anywhere. Now let's go find this girl.

• David Rossi : As you all know, Eddie Lee Wilcox is armed and dangerous.

  Jennifer Jareau : He's also smart and criminally sophisticated. He knows police procedure and how to use it.

  Dr. Spencer Reid : He's flush with cash from his robbery in Chicago, but he'll try to maintain a low profile, so he may resort to his robbery skills at some point.

  Derek Morgan : Eddie's a car thief. And he's a good one, so he'll switch vehicles often.

  Jennifer Jareau : He was last seen in a Chevy minivan, but we do not count on him being in it for long.

  Derek Morgan : So canvass crowded parking lots and malls. That's most likely where he'll ditch cars and find new ones.

  David Rossi : We've been calling this a child abduction, but Eddie's daughter Samantha may actually be an unwitting participant.

  Alex Blake : We know she wanted to run away from home, and her father's somehow taking advantage of that.

  Derek Morgan : This guy's evolved into a sociopathic spree killer, and he's got the ego of a career criminal, so there's no telling how far he'll go to save himself.

  David Rossi : That ego may be feeding a sort of pipe dream that if he does escape, he may actually get to have a healthy relationship with his daughter.

  Jennifer Jareau : A relationship he believes was taken from him.

  Alex Blake : But when reality sets in, his dream will be shattered and that's when Samantha will be in the most danger.

  Dr. Spencer Reid : The majority of these cases end in either murder-suicide or suicide by cop.

  Jennifer Jareau : Up to this point, we've been reacting to him, but the roadblocks and the media blitz are set up to make him react to us.

  Derek Morgan : So if you spot him, call for backup and proceed with extreme caution. He's probably sleep deprived and irrational.

  David Rossi : The closer we get, the more dangerous he becomes.
