Criminal Minds: Evolution
Thursdays on Paramount+Criminal Minds: Evolution Quotes
Prentiss: Are you positive Elias Voit is Sicarius? It will be a heavy lift to reopen the investigation.
Rossi: No, I'm not positive, but the wife recognized him from the footage, and she's a spitting image of Sicarius's last victim, Ramona.
Rossi: You've had intrusive thoughts about murdering them ever since Cryus, haven't you? Ohhh. That's a yes. There's a term for what you're going through. It's called devolution.
Elias: Yes, I know what devolution is.
Rossi: Then you know it never ends well.
Apparently, this particular incel-leaning unsub has the compulsion to squeeze the life out of any woman he deems too high and mighty.
Prentiss
Few things can help an individual more than to place responsibility on him and to let him know that you trust him. -- Booker T. Washington
Prentiss
Elias: I know this is scary, but I need you to know what I'm capable of. I killed 61 people.
Ramona: [catches her breath] Oh God!
Elias: Ramona. Ramona! [snaps his fingers] Hey. Pay attention. We haven't even gotten to the important part yet.
Ramona: You're showing me your face. Oh God! I know what that means. You're showing me your face! I don't want to die.
Elias: Nobody does. Nobody does. So, you want a chance to live?
Ramona: Yes. Yes, I do.
Elias: OK. Good. Then you need to help me.
Ramona: Help you?
Elias: Mm-hm. I need you to help me save my marriage. And then I'll spare your life.
Arthur! Listen to me. Sicarius wants you to kill yourself by your hand or mine. He's counting on you to be a patsy, but you're smarter than that, Arthur. You have a way out, and it starts with you putting the gun down.
Rossi
Elias: Tell me something, honestly. Would you give your life in exchange for your husband's?
Mona: No.
Elias: But for your children's?
Mona: Without a doubt.
Elias: I guess we shall see.
AG: Doug?
Bailey: I stand with Agent Prentiss.
AG: OK. Let's hold our horses here, partners. Nobody's throwing their badges on the table today. But we do have a bigger problem.
Prentiss: What bigger problem?
AG: Tunnel vision. The BAU has been so focused on this case you've let others fall behind.
For, after all, the best thing one can do when it is raining is let it rain. -- Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
Bailey
Alvez: You're all gonna appreciate the irony of this because, uh, Bailey here, his job now depends on us doing ours.
Bailey: Yes, well, since our fates are tied together on this case, I took the liberty of preparing a briefing.
Rossi: OK, then. Wow us.
Bailey: How are you not nervous?
Prentiss: I guess after being assaulted, drugged, and killed in the line of duty, I figure, what's the worst that could happen?
Attorney General: Let me get this straight. On my side, I've got Benjamin Reeves, who killed his mother, a SITTING US senator, next to a shipping container full of evidence. On your side, you have a free death row inmate who MAY have talked to a connection, first name, Cyrus, last name, unknown.
Prentiss: M'am, our profile says Sicarius is married with a possibility of children. Benjamin Reeves didn't fit that. He was not Sicarius.
AG: Emily, that's thin, and you know it.
Prentiss: [sighs] If the BAU cannot do its job, I have no choice but to tender my resignation.
