Penelope Ann Miller: Dr. Elizabeth Rhodes

Quotes 

• Dr. Elizabeth Rhodes : I made David kill those men. I gave him... gave him their names. I gave him the money. I gave him this place.

  Emily Prentiss : I won't lie to you. The road from here is hard. But there's hope.

  [David aims his gun at her] 

  Emily Prentiss : [holstering her own]  If you don't want to take my help, then you're gonna have to shoot me. Is that what you want?

  David Smith : Please don't make me do this.

  Emily Prentiss : I'm not gonna make you do anything you don't want to do.

  David Smith : Emily, no!

  Emily Prentiss : David, go ahead. Do what you have to do. Shoot me if that's who you really are.

  David Smith : [dropping the gun]  Oh, my god, Emily.

  [she holds him as he sobs] 

  David Smith : I'm so sorry.

  Emily Prentiss : Shh.

  David Smith : I'm so, so sorry.

  Emily Prentiss : It's all right. I know. I know. This is who you really are.

• David Rossi : He's gone by the name Eddie.

  Dr. Elizabeth Rhodes : Well, I know some Eddies, but none that look like this young man.

  Dr. Tara Lewis : But you are familiar with a Dennis Kirkwood?

  Dr. Elizabeth Rhodes : Of course I am, Dr. Lewis.

  Dr. Tara Lewis : Mr. Kirkwood was murdered, and over the last week, two of his close friends were killed as well, an Athony Nakamura and a Shaun Tate.

  David Rossi : And we have reason to believe that this young man, Eddie here, murdered these men out of a desire to avenge your daughter's death.

  Dr. Elizabeth Rhodes : Well, I'm really not sure how you expect me to respond to all of this.

  David Rossi : Well, actually, we were hoping that you might know something about Eddie.

  Dr. Elizabeth Rhodes : I hold on to two memories of my child that I shall never be able to let go. Her precious face, the first time I held it, and what was left of her face when the coroner pulled back the sheet and asked if I could identify her.

• David Rossi : We're very sorry for your loss.

  Dr. Elizabeth Rhodes : And I'm very sorry that it is your job to hunt down this Eddie.

  Dr. Tara Lewis : Because you don't believe the police conclusion about your daughter's death. You believe that Dennis Kirkwood murdered her and that his friends lied to protect him.

  Dr. Elizabeth Rhodes : It is an absolute fact.

  David Rossi : Baltimore police would disagree.

  Dr. Elizabeth Rhodes : And I would say that the Baltimore police is just a men's club that collects its dues from rich, entitled men like Kirkwood. You want to talk about believe, Dr. Lewis? Let's talk about the men who believe that they're untouchable because of their wealth. I know the truth. Robin meant nothing to them.

  David Rossi : But she does mean something to this young man. And if you're protecting him for any reason...

  Dr. Elizabeth Rhodes : I wish I knew this man, because I would thank him.

• Dr. Elizabeth Rhodes : I didn't lie to you, David. Kirkwood murdered Robin. And those other men, they all helped him get away with it.

  David Smith : No. Emily, the police. It was an accident.

  Dr. Elizabeth Rhodes : No.

  David Smith : These men were innocent.

  Dr. Elizabeth Rhodes : No.

  David Smith : And I...

  Dr. Elizabeth Rhodes : You did nothing wrong. It was justice.

• Dr. Tara Lewis : Dr. Rhodes, I've had the opportunity to read some of your published work on behavioral therapy. And I'm quite sure when you started your practice, you did hope to alleviate your patients' suffering.

  Dr. Elizabeth Rhodes : It was my hope, and it is my accomplishment as well, Dr. Lewis.

  Dr. Tara Lewis : But not for Eddie. He came to you a year ago after his father died in prison, desperate for help. And I get it; you were still raw about Robin's death being ruled an accident. But instead of easing his pain, you selfishly twisted it to gratify your own need for revenge.

  Dr. Elizabeth Rhodes : No. I really did no such thing.

  Jerome Winter : He's obviously one of those paranoid schizophrenic types who is targeting Robin's assailants all on his lonesome.

  Dr. Tara Lewis : We both know that's not why he's killing these men, don't we?

  Dr. Elizabeth Rhodes : One reason he may be killing is pure genetics. It's in the blood.

  Jerome Winter : You've got nothing to arrest my client, so we're done here. And if I find out you guys are following my client without probable cause, I'm going to sue your asses off.
