- The witching hour, when every child was in a deep, deep sleep, and the dark things had the world all to themselves.

- You got 16 dead bodies in every shipping container.

- The victims are from 2005 to 2020?

- This is 100% serial killer.

- All my years as a profiler, I studied killers. I never studied what a pandemic would do to them. They couldn't move. They couldn't hunt. So they started communicating to become better predators.

- So the UnSub gathered followers, followers that he's now activating. These aren't just connected cases. This is a serial killing network.

- The BAU is different.

- Where others see monsters, we see patterns.

- Where are we with the profile?

- This guy is a textbook.

- We need to get to the bottom of this.

- Maybe it's time we called our expert.

- We promised we wouldn't.

- I don't know who else could help.

- God, I hate how easy it is to pick this back up!
