Quotes
-
[Dr Reid has managed to decode steganographic messages hidden in letters written by a convict in prison]
Dr. Spencer Reid : Normally, you'd use a computer to examine all the combinations, but in this case it was faster just to write it all out longhand until I found the right code.
Emily Prentiss : [Poking Reid's cheek] He's so lifelike!

[Dr Reid has found steganographic messages hidden in letters written by a convict in prison but can't read the messages without the key]
David Rossi : What do you need to crack it?
Dr. Spencer Reid : The ability to clone myself and a year's supply of Adderall.
David Rossi : I'll put on the coffee.
-
Dr. Spencer Reid : Think about who shares the exact DNA makeup of another person.
Derek Morgan : Read, you're not seriously floating around the idea of an evil twin, are you?
Dr. Spencer Reid : No, I'm not. I'm floating the idea of an *eviler* twin.
-
Dr. Spencer Reid : There's an entire cottage industry based on serial killer effects and memorabilia. You can find absolutely anything if you know the right people.

Jennifer 'JJ' Jareau : This is Delilah Grennan. She was bludgeoned and raped during the night at her home in Lower Canaan, Ohio.
Emily Prentiss : Lower where?
Jennifer 'JJ' Jareau : Small town forty miles outside of Cincinnati.
Dr. Spencer Reid : Staging the body face up with the arms across the chest like that.
Derek Morgan : Ritual. Nice hair, by the way.
[Morgan flips a lock of Reid's hair into his face]
Dr. Spencer Reid : [brushing his hair back] Thanks.
Jennifer 'JJ' Jareau : Uh, there's more. Small puncture wounds on her stomach. Note the lack of blood.
Emily Prentiss : They were inflicted postmortem. Were there any other victims?
Jennifer 'JJ' Jareau : Kind of. Victimology and signature match a serial killer from the same town ten years ago. Six victims spanning over ten months. He called himself...
Aaron Hotchner : The Angel Maker. I remember the case.
Dr. Spencer Reid : They caught that guy.
David Rossi : And executed him.
Jennifer 'JJ' Jareau : That's right. He was put to death by lethal injection a year ago yesterday.
Emily Prentiss : Yesterday.
Derek Morgan : So we're looking for a copycat.
David Rossi : Honoring the anniversary of his hero's death.
Dr. Spencer Reid : It says here they found semen at the crime scene. Perhaps locals will get a DNA match when they run it through VICAP?
Jennifer 'JJ' Jareau : Well, that's where it gets weird. They ran it already and they got a match, too.
Emily Prentiss : Well, if they already have a name, why'd they call us?
David Rossi : [reading the report] They've got to be kidding. The match they got back on the DNA is to a Cortland Bryce Ryan. Otherwise known as... the Angel Maker.
