Quotes 

• Aaron Hotchner : Dave, a figure 8?

  David Rossi : That's what it look like. I just sent you all a picture.

  Dr. Spencer Reid : Maybe it's an infinity symbol.

  Alex Blake : Well, if it's infinity, he could be boasting "I'll go on forever"?

  Derek Morgan : Or if it's an 8. Strauss was his 8th victim.

  Jennifer Jareau : And the unofficial 8th member of our team.

• Alex Blake : He said he used eight locks because there used to be eight of us.

  Aaron Hotchner : That's all he said?

  Alex Blake : About that, yes.

  Dr. Spencer Reid : There's only six keys. That mean two keys will be used twice. Each key is a letter, likely corresponds to a number on the locks. Seven, seventh letter of the alphabet's "g."

  Aaron Hotchner : What are the other letters?

  Dr. Spencer Reid : Z, u, w... Zugzwang.

  [pause] 

  Dr. Spencer Reid : It's too easy.

• Derek Morgan : He's got the placed lined with C-4. We've only got three minutes.

  Dr. Spencer Reid : This seems too easy. Zugzwang also means a dilemma in chess where the best move is not to move at all.

  [Blake stands up after Reid unlocks all locks] 

  Dr. Spencer Reid : Wait, don't get up! It's a pressure sensor.

  [the door closes]
