- Emily Prentiss: [voiceover] There is no chance, no destiny, no fate, that can hinder the firm resolve of a determined soul. -Ella Wheeler Wilcox
- David Rossi: [voiceover] "It's hard to fight an enemy who has outposts in your mind." ~~ Sally Kempton
- David Rossi: Why didn't you tell us Molly battled with severe anorexia?
- Jerry Grandin: I didn't know. All right, look, it's not as bad as you're making it out to be here. She was always a chubby kid, right? She always had to watch what she ate.
- David Rossi: Did she get treatment?
- Jerry Grandin: We don't believe in stuff like that. We're hard-workers. We like to solve our own problems.
- David Rossi: It's urgent that you tell me everything that you know... Mr. Grandin, I'm having difficulty understanding why keeping Molly's secrets is more important than finding her alive.
- Jerry Grandin: It's not. She just wouldn't want anyone knowing her personal problems.
- David Rossi: Your daughter is specifically vulnerable to this suspect because of her private emotional issues. Now, we need to know as much about Molly as does the person who's holding her captive. So I'm going to ask you again, are there any other secrets you're not sharing with me?
- Jerry Grandin: ...She collapsed about a year ago. Malnutrition. Anemia. She wasn't eating.
- David Rossi: Did she get treatment?
- Jerry Grandin: Thirty days. Finley Center for Eating Disorders.
- David Rossi: At Syracuse General?
- Jerry Grandin: Yeah... Why?
- David Rossi: Gail Langston was treated there for depression.
- Jerry Grandin: I should have told you.
- David Rossi: ...Yeah.
- Dr. Spencer Reid: You know, this phrase doesn't seem to have a particular source or author. It's found pretty much every self-help book, I read 22 of them today, all touting the same, basic three-part plan.
- David Rossi: Let me guess, phase one is positive thinking, visualizing goals.
- Emily Prentiss: That's to work up the courage to get to phase two, taking real steps to achieve said goal.
- David Rossi: Gail committed to school, got grades like never before.
- Emily Prentiss: Molly gave up her obsessive food journal and started eating better.
- Dr. Spencer Reid: It's hard to believe motivational sayings alone would allow her to make these type of strides.
- Emily Prentiss: Maybe that's why the UnSub moved in with them. She could offer support and encouragement day and night.
- David Rossi: She'd be around to watch Molly's diet or Gail's study habits.
- Emily Prentiss: At first her methods worked. She gets to be the hero, the savior.
- Dr. Spencer Reid: She's a pure narcissist, so helping her victims is only about gaining their appreciation and dependence.
- David Rossi: The more her victims gain confidence, the less they need a full-time cheerleader.
- Dr. Spencer Reid: And that's when her motivational plan goes completely off the rails. Phase three is normally about maintaining the tenets of the program independently.
- David Rossi: But her program doesn't end. She holds them captive, destroys them physically.
- Emily Prentiss: She's the motivational speaker from hell.
- Jane Gould: We are gonna watch movies, have girls' night, that's all. Just you, me, and Julia Roberts.
- [puts popcorns to Molly's mouth]
- Molly: [spits them] I'm done with this. Just untie me. I...
- Jane Gould: You spit at me. I'm feeding you by hand and you spit at me. No. I can't allow you to keep crossing these boundaries.
- [holds a hammer]
- Jane Gould: I'm gonna help you fix yourself. You've become an ungrateful narcissist. I call this a humility check. It shatters those selfish thoughts so you can hear other people's feelings and needs.
- Molly: Please, wait. Wait. Wait. Wait. Wait. Please. I'm sorry. I'm sorry...
- Jerry Grandin: Molly. Molly!
- Molly: Dad.
- Jerry Grandin: Oh, baby. There's so many things I want to tell you, so many things I want you to know... I love you so much.
- Jane Gould: [yells] You have to understand! All I wanted to do was help her.
- Molly: [to Jerry] I love you, too.
