![]() | Season 7 / Episode 21: - Divining Rod Derek Morgan: What do we got, baby girl? Penelope Garcia: Thank you, sir. We have a killing in Enid, Oklahoma. And not... the capital punishment one you are thinking of right now. I'm talking about a woman named Cara Smith, who was murdered in her apartment minutes after the execution of Rodney Garrett. Aaron Hotchner: A neighbor saw her front door open and discovered the body. David Rossi: Look familiar? Jennifer 'JJ' Jareau: Young, pretty, short blonde hair. David Rossi: And stabbed directly through the heart. Dr. Spencer Reid: That's exactly the way Garrett killed his victims. Derek Morgan: So are we looking at a copycat? Jennifer 'JJ' Jareau: Or someone creating doubt the right person was executed. David Rossi: In Garrett's case, there was no doubt. His guilt was the slam dunk of all slam dunks. Prints, DNA, a confession. Dr. Spencer Reid: He even led police to where he buried two of his victims. Emily Prentiss: Garrett killed twenty-five women before he was caught. If this new unsub is a copycat, body count's just started. |
![]() | Season 7 / Episode 21: - Divining Rod Warden Tom Hansen: There was something... unkillable about Garrett. Had my doubts that damn firing squad was gonna get the job done. |
![]() | Season 7 / Episode 21: - Divining Rod Emily Prentiss: Hotch, I think I found her. Aaron Hotchner: You're on speaker, Prentiss. Emily Prentiss: The unsub must have circled back. He dumped her just outside the perimeter of the abduction site. Jennifer 'JJ' Jareau: Same M.O.? Emily Prentiss: No, she's got stab wounds all over her torso. It's bad. And Hotch, this time he removed her scalp. Jennifer 'JJ' Jareau: Overkill. He must be enraged he wasn't able to carry the murder out as planned. David Rossi: So now we might have another problem. If our unsub's blueprint is out the window, this may transition him into a spree killer. |
![]() | Season 7 / Episode 21: - Divining Rod Emily Prentiss: [browsing through mail Garrett received in prison] Get a load of this one. "Dear Mr. Garrett, it took a lot of courage to do what you did. Most people are cowards and don't do what they feel inside them. You are an inspiration, and I applaud you." Emily Prentiss: "I applaud you." David Rossi: These are supposed to be the non-wacko letters. Penelope Garcia: Hey, guess what? JJ's genius has struck again. That hunch about the hair was right. I'm sending you an ATM image of Cara Smith. She's the first victim. This was taken ten hours before her murder. Check it. Detective Childers: The unsub cut her hair, too. Dr. Spencer Reid: You know, there could be a sexual element involved. Trichophilia is a fetish where one becomes aroused by the removal of hair. Derek Morgan: Well either way, it's starting to look less like a copycat. The unsub's deviating too much from Garrett's M.O. Garrett never took trophies. |
![]() | Season 7 / Episode 21: - Divining Rod Emily Prentiss: [Prentiss has bid on a house for sale] I can't believe I'm doing it. I mean, it's probably not gonna work out anyway, right? There are five other sealed bids, and I offered way below what the owners are asking. Jennifer 'JJ' Jareau: Uh huh. Sounds to me like someone's hoping they don't get it. Dr. Spencer Reid: Orthophobia: fear of owning personal property. Emily Prentiss: No, I don't have a fear of owning stuff. Turn me loose in a shoe store, I'll prove that. My fear is personal property that weighs three hundred tons. Dr. Spencer Reid: Actually, depending on materials used, square footage, and horizontal versus vertical construction, the average house only weighs about sixty tons. Emily Prentiss: [sarcastically] Well, thanks for that, Reid. I feel light as a bird already. |
![]() | Season 7 / Episode 21: - Divining Rod Warden Tom Hansen: Last thing this town needs is a Rod Garrett wannabe on the loose. |
![]() | Season 7 / Episode 21: - Divining Rod Emily Prentiss: He started killing shortly after you were married? Helen Garrett: Yeah. David Rossi: And you never suspected this other life he was leading? Helen Garrett: No. People only see what they want to see, I guess. Emily Prentiss: Where will you go now, Helen? Helen Garrett: Put in for a transfer for a job in Missouri. Don't know anybody there; people don't know me. It's a fresh start. David Rossi: What about family? Helen Garrett: My family don't want to know me. They couldn't understand why I'd stand by Rod after everything that he done. As far as they're concerned, I'm just as bad as him. |
![]() | Season 7 / Episode 21: - Divining Rod Emily Prentiss: You remember when people used to write letters by hand? David Rossi: That's how I wrote my first book. Give me a keyboard any day. Emily Prentiss: Oh, come on, Rossi. The excitement of seeing an envelope from a friend in your mailbox? Now it's just an electronic ding on your computer. David Rossi: One of my various brothers-in-law was a mailman. He said the expression "going postal" made perfect sense to him. You spend all day delivering a mountain of letters one at a time. Then you go to work the next morning, and there's a whole new mountain to deal with. And it's forever. Emily Prentiss: That sounds like our job. It took seven years for the world to get rid of Rod Garrett and fifteen minutes after, a new one pops up to take his place. |
