Natural Born Killer


Synopsis:
When an undercover cop involved in a mob investigation goes missing, the BAU believes a serial killer rather than the mob has something to do with his disappearance. The probe leads to several unsolved missing persons cases.

Best Moments Between Characters:
  • When Hotch talked to and profiled the unsub, he spoke about the abuse the unsub had suffered at the hands of his father and how his mother had suffered too. It was implied in the end when the unsub questioned Hotch saying "some grow up to be killers" and Hotch replied that some grow up to catch them. When the unsub was being led away, he and Hotch exchanged a look.

Best Lines:
  • Hotch: "Paranoid personalities develop in childhood."
    Vincent Perotta: "You know, you just saved me thousands of dollars in therapy bills."

  • (after revealing photos of murdered people on board)
    Gideon: "I believe you're an extremely impotent man."
    Vincent Perotta: (rattling his handcuffs) "Take these off, we'll see!"

  • Elle [to Garcia]: "Can you get into those records?"
    Reid: "Despite the fact that they're probably expunged, she can find the faintest echo of deletion, successfully recreate the file, thereby sending us all to prison for computer felony/fraud counts."
    (Garcia scoffs)
    Elle: "We can make bail. Garcia?"

  • Hotch: "You were just responding to what you learned, Vincent. When you grow up in an environment like that, an extremely abusive and violent household, it is not surprising that some people grow up to become killers."
    (Hotch stands up when the interview room door is opened. Agents enter and start to uncuff Vincent Perotta from his chair to take him away. Perotta looks at Hotch)
    Perotta: "Some people?"
    (Hotch turns around.)
    Hotch: "What's that?"
    Perotta: "You said 'some people' grow up to become killers."
    Hotch: "And some people grow up to catch them."

  • (Holding up a video belonging to the unsub)
    Garcia: "Ten bucks this involves naked coeds and a plumber."
    Reid: "What?"
    Garcia: "Never mind."

  • Gideon: "We have a word for you."
    Perotta: "You got a word for me?"
    Gideon: "Oh yeah. Actually, we have a few. Psychopath. Paranoid personality disorder."
    Perotta: "That's quite a mouthful, Jason."

  • Hotch: "But your father beat you every chance he got."
    Perotta: "He smacked me around some. Didn’t everybody’s old man?"
    Hotch: "No."
    Perotta: "Well, maybe if yours had, you would have learned to fight."

The turning point in the investigation:
When the BAU realized that the unsub was a hired gun but had gone out on his own. His latest hit had not been authorized and brought heat down on the man who hired him, Michael Russo.

Whodunit?
Vincent Perrotta; he was a hired gun by the mob but it turned out that he had been killing for 30 years as a result of the physical abuse he suffered at the hands of his father. He killed hundreds of victims, but only 1 was a female and he made it quick so she didn't have to suffer. He had tortured all the others.
