- Jason Gideon: Mr. Fisher?
- Jack Fisher: Shrink or cop?
- Jason Gideon: I'm an FBI profiler, so I guess I'm a little of each.
- Jennifer "JJ" Jareau: [news of the LSD poisoning has been leaked to the media] They didn't name the restaurant.
- Detective Hanover: Wh-what is it?
- Jason Gideon: Call the local hospital. Make sure they know what's coming. Excuse me.
- Aaron Hotchner: Where do your 911 calls get routed?
- Detective Hanover: Uh, there's a county phone bank. They contact first responders, the fire department.
- Aaron Hotchner: Alert them, too. They're gonna need additional personnel. And any other backup you've got, auxiliary cops, you're gonna have to call them.
- Detective Hanover: But why?
- Aaron Hotchner: Because we're gonna have a heck of a time calming people down, when we really don't need the confusion to interfere with our investigation.
- Uniform Cop: You want me to start making those calls?
- Detective Hanover: No, no, no! No. Hey, everybody, please, shut up for a minute!
- [the squad room goes silent]
- Detective Hanover: Tell me what this is all about.
- [telephones around the room begin ringing off the hook]
- Jason Gideon: Panic.
- Jennifer "JJ" Jareau: Of all the departments, why'd you choose the BAU?
- Aaron Hotchner: You know, I had prosecuted dozens of murder cases, and by the time they reached my desk, it always felt like it was too late. I wanted to, um... stop them before they got to my desk.
- Jason Gideon: We know there are four types of poisoners who target multiple victims.
- Aaron Hotchner: There's the true believer, the political terrorist/religious cult.
- Derek Morgan: There's the extortionist, product tamperer who holds a business hostage in exchange for money.
- Elle Greenaway: Or the prankster, usually a younger offender who doesn't mean any harm and it's basically just a big practical joke.
- Aaron Hotchner: And the avenger. Someone with a personal vendetta who choses poison as their weapon.
- Jason Gideon: So we need to find out as quickly as possible which type he is, 'cause with the exception of the prankster, all these types commonly test their poison on a small scale before carrying out a larger attack.
- Derek Morgan: Well, let's hope this was just a prank.
- Aaron Hotchner: We believe whoever poisoned these people was motivated by revenge.
- Derek Morgan: The randomness of the victimology, average people in an average-sized town, all points to a local resident.
- Elle Greenaway: We know that people who poison for the purpose of revenge primarily act alone.
- Aaron Hotchner: However, he may have manipulated someone close to him to assist him. The unsub usually disposes of these accomplices when they are of no further use to him.
- Elle Greenaway: The unsub is likely a cautious, deliberate, and highly functioning male between the ages of 35 and 50.
- Aaron Hotchner: He chose LSD for a reason. LSD is about altering perception. We think that this unsub is striking out because he feels that's he's been inaccurately perceived by the community, or a subset of it.
- Derek Morgan: He feels that these attacks will affect and alter a reality that he is caught in, that he perceives to be unjust.
- Aaron Hotchner: He's so self-centered, he believes his victims will know the reason for the attack and who did it.
- Dr. Spencer Reid: This individual was savvy enough to use Rohypnol to obstruct our investigation, erasing the memories of the victims of how they were poisoned.
- Detective Hanover: Hold on. If this guy believes that his victims know who he is, why is he covering his tracks?
- Jason Gideon: Because these victims aren't his primary targets.
- Aaron Hotchner: We... we know from precedent that this kind of offender, the avenger, tests his weapon first. This attack was a test run.
- Detective Hanover: A test run for what?
- Aaron Hotchner: We don't know yet. What we do know is this is not the first time he's aired his grievances. While it's not likely that he has a criminal record, it is possible that he has filed criminal charges, or pursued a civil action against his perceived adversaries. And now, to measure the results of his test, he's watching.
- Jason Gideon: And he wants to see the results of his test. Once he has them, all those years of pent-up rage will be unleashed in the form of a larger attack. Profile indicates a lot of people could die.
- Derek Morgan: Wait a minute! What if it's not the profile that's wrong, but the target?
- Elle Greenaway: Not this cafe
- Derek Morgan: Just because a bunch of victims came to eat here, doesn't necessarily mean that they get poisoned here
