Kevin Lynch: This system is insane. It's completely Linux-based, open-source programming. You don't see this in government systems outside of like... Switzerland.
Hotchner: James Colby Baylor.
Kevin Lynch: Right... I get it, chop chop, geez. (edit) Reid: Tell us about the watch he was wearing.
Garcia: It was a huge Rolex.
Morgan: You sure about that?
Garcia: I know my knock-offs. (edit) Hotchner: Why does he risk coming into an enclosed courtyard to steal a purse?
Rossi: World's boldest purse snatcher? (edit) Rossi: (to Hotch) I told you I'm sick of this jagoff being in front of us. (edit) (while watching Hotchner enter elevator)
JJ: What's Hotch doing?
Rossi: Right now I'm guessing he's wishing anybody else was the leader of this team. (edit)

As Garcia was being transported to the hospital in this episode, it was revealed she is 30 years old. (edit) The plot of this episode bears some resemblance to the earlier episodes "The Fisher King Part 1" and The Fisher King Part 2." (edit) This episode established a lot of information on Penelope Garcia's backstory. (edit) Garcia spent her childhood in San Francisco, California. (edit)

Garcia's password to the encrypted files was "Gilman Street." 924 Gilman Street Project in Berkeley, California (aka the Alternative Music Foundation) is an all-ages, non-profit, collectively organized music and performance venue. The members strive to provide a violence, alcohol and drug-free environment, and will not book or support racist, misogynist, or homophobic bands or performances. (edit) Reid: It's like Frank Abagnale; the Bureau figured if you can't beat 'em, hire 'em.

Frank Abagnale is a former con man and impostor who at various times pretended to be a lawyer, a pilot and a physician. His story inspired the movie Catch Me If You Can, in which he was played by Leonardo DiCaprio. He now works as a security consultant. (edit)
