Criminal Minds Quote
Prentiss: So Hotch is even more intense now that Gideon's gone.
Reid: Yeah, I've noticed.
Prentiss: Do you think that's gonna change?
Reid: Certainly think we'll find out.
Prentiss: What about you? You ok?
Reid: Oh, I'm—I'm great.
Prentiss: Do you wanna talk about it?
Reid: What's there to talk about, really?
Prentiss: Gideon.
Reid: Oh, no. He uh—He left a letter explaining everything. Just like my dad did when he abandoned me and my mom.
Prentiss: He addressed it to you.
Reid: Yeah, yeah. You know, Gideon stood toe to toe with some of the, the sickest people on this planet. I think that took a lot of courage, right?
Prentiss: Yeah.
Reid: So, why'd he do this? It's addressed to me, but I'm—I'm not—I'm not the only one that he abandoned.
Prentiss: But why is it addressed to you? [Reid looks at her] I think you need to read that letter again.
Reid: I have an eidetic memory, Emily.
Prentiss: Ah, yeah, I know, and an IQ of 187, but what do you remember about your father?
Reid: What do you mean?
Prentiss: Well, he gave you ten years before he left, and yet, you've erased all those memories. And—it's too painful. I get it. But then, Gideon leaves. I think you need to read that letter again, and ask yourself why, of all the people he walked away from, did he only explain himself to one person… you.
Reid: Yeah, I've noticed.
Prentiss: Do you think that's gonna change?
Reid: Certainly think we'll find out.
Prentiss: What about you? You ok?
