Naomi: "Reid failed his qualification." she says to Gideon who walks past them

Gideon: "He can re-test in 2 weeks."

Naomi: "Yeah,but he's gonna be embarrassed about it,so let's not mention it." she says turning to give Derek a pointed look for the last part

Gideon: "Yeah,let's not." he says giving the same look to Derek

Derek: "Not a word" he says putting his hands up in surrender as Spencer comes into the office going over to his desk "Hey. We're all here for you. I'm serious. If you ever need anything...Just blow on that." he says putting a whistle over his neck blowing into it while smirking at him

Naomi: "Seriously." she says giving him an annoyed look as Spencer rips the whistle off

JJ: "Ok, Franklin Park, Des Plaines, yesterday afternoon. 3 victims shot at distance. It's the third such shooting in 2 weeks." she says as everyone gathers around the desks looking through files

Elle: "A sniper?"

Derek: "We don't use that word."

Elle: "Why not?"

JJ: "The public perception is that the FBI doesn't have an exemplary record with snipers."

Hotch: "Besides,a sniper is a professional marksman. These guys aren't snipers."

Elle: "What do we call 'em then?"

Watson: "L.D.S.K."

Reid: "Long distance serial killers."

Elle: "How many of these guys have we caught using a profile?"

Gideon: "None." he says as they move to the meeting room

Hotch: "2 weeks, 3 shooting incidents,6 victims all shot in the abdomen. First and only fatality, Henry Sachs,married, father of 3, was shot in a shopping center parking lot. 9 days later. Doug Miller and Kevin Parks were playing basketball at a community center. Franklin Park,4 days later, Jerry Middleton, Kate Murray, and Tim Reilly. Des plaines police have found no link between any of the victims."

Morgan: "Ballistics?"

Hotch: "He's using frangible rounds,which fragment on impact, making ballistics comparisons impossible."

JJ: "The good news is that all the park victims are gonna make it. The bad news is that none of them saw anything. However,one of the patients does have an intact bullet lodged in his spine."

Gideon: "What's the prognosis?"

JJ: "There's a disagreement among surgical staff as to whether they can remove the slug without paralyzing the patient."

Watson: "Well,without a useful witness or a solid piece of forensic evidence..."

Hotch: "The profile's all we'll have."
