Best Moments Between Characters in Criminal Minds Full Episodes:
  • (2004 flashback) Morgan followed the unsub to the roof, where he attempted to evade capture by jumping across the alley to the next building’s roof. The unsub did not make it, and was barely holding onto the ledge. Morgan then went back to get a running start so he could go help the man. Hotch arrived on the roof at that time and argued with him not to jump like the unsub did, Morgan did so anyway, landing ontop the other rooftop. He then reached down to help the unsub but the unsub slipped and fell to the pavement.
  • While on the stand, Hotch profiled the defense attorney. He indicated that he was in debt due to an addiction to horse racing, and that his Blackberry went off every 20 minutes with the race results.

  • [About a photo]
    Reid: It’s remarkable. Something like this makes you question everything you thought you knew.
    Garcia: Yeah. Like the monolith in 2001.
    Reid: So there was actually a time when something like this was socially acceptable?
    Garcia: Oh, you’re young. The eighties left a lot of people confused. This is especially sad, though.
