Episode Quotes

Jennifer 'JJ' Jareau: Mrs. Smith? I'm Agent Jareau. Jennifer. I'm with the FBI.
Marlene Smith: Did you hear any more about my Bobby?
Jennifer 'JJ' Jareau: No, ma'am. But our entire team is here, and we are the best at what we do. We're gonna need your help, okay?
Marlene Smith: Okay.
Jennifer 'JJ' Jareau: I have a boy of my own. He's almost three. I... can't even imagine what you are going through.
Marlene Smith: He's so little.
Jennifer 'JJ' Jareau: I know. Can you tell me what happened the morning you dropped him off?
Marlene Smith: I was having one of my bad days.
Jennifer 'JJ' Jareau: And what does one of your bad days look like?
Marlene Smith: I wanted to hurt myself. I can't control it.
Jennifer 'JJ' Jareau: Is that why you took him to his grandmother?
Marlene Smith: Yeah. I have to protect him.
Jennifer 'JJ' Jareau: And you had done this in the past?
Marlene Smith: [near tears] Yeah. I just had to get him out of the house. You know? I just had to get him out of the house. That's all I kept thinking about, was just get him out! Get him out!
Marlene Smith: So when I was feeling better, I-I went to my mother's to pick him up, and... that's when they told me he wasn't there.
Jennifer 'JJ' Jareau: You didn't call ahead before you dropped him off?
Marlene Smith: Yeah. She didn't answer.
Jennifer 'JJ' Jareau: She doesn't have an answering machine?
Marlene Smith: Yeah, she does, but there wasn't time for that.
Jennifer 'JJ' Jareau: Please help me understand, Mrs. Smith. It takes ten seconds to leave a message. Look, these... these bad days that you have, I understand. There... there must be times when...
Marlene Smith: [sobbing, showing JJ the scars on her wrists] Look. Bobby saw me do this before. Twice. I had to get him out of the house! Don't you understand?
David Rossi: [voiceover] All things truly wicked, start from an innocence." ~~ Ernest Hemingway
