--> '''Hotchner:''' ''"...Like I said, sometimes there are no words. No clever quotes to neatly sum up what happened that day. Sometimes, the day just ends."''

%% Administrivia/This trope was launched prematurely * IndirectSerialKiller: The quadriplegic Mason Turner has his mentally handicapped brother Lucas kidnap and murder people and perform experiments on their corpses.

* IndirectSerialKiller: The quadriplegic Mason Turner has his mentally handicapped brother Lucas kidnap and murder people and perform experiments on their corpses.

* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: Played with with Lucas. In interactions and his crayon art, he seems to have the developmental level of a small child, but he knows how to abduct homeless people, perform medical experiments on them, and dispose of them.

** Garcia makes many Film/TheWizardOfOz references to keep her cool.

* AmbiguousDisorder: Lucas has one. Neighbors politely describe him as "a little slow", and Reid thinks his crayon drawings make him look autistic given he's a grown man, but it's hard to tell exactly how much he understands, how much of it is the result of psychological abuse by his psychopath brother, and what he would have been without his rage issues.

--->'''Morgan:''' There was suppose to be, what, ten victims? There's gotta be over a hundred pairs of shoes in there.

The BAU have found their [=UnSub=], and he's a quadriplegic. The [=UnSub=]'s brother, whose limbs work, was interrupted in the middle of murdering his latest victim, so instead of bashing her skull in with a hammer he carries her to an underground bunker in the woods.

After identifying two Ontario brothers as the perpetrators behind the disappearances of over eighty people, the BAU juggles profiling the siblings and preventing their latest abductee from meeting a gruesome fate. Meanwhile, a killer from the team's past prepares to exact vengeance against one of their own.

!!Tropes

-->"Sometimes there are no words, no clever little quotes to neatly sum up the day."
* InformedAttribute: One that creates an odd contradiction between what the characters say and entire other scenes of what what the audience sees. Lucas is referred to as "a little slow" by a neighbor, and Reid diagnoses him with "mild mental retardation or autism" from his drawings. But the drawings are clearly done to resemble the work of a five-year-old, and the scenes with Lucas show him to be roughly that age in mental development as well, he's not "mild" anything.
** Then again, his drawing skills may not be meant to be a direct reflection of his "mental age".

** Lucas is clearly based on [[Literature/OfMiceAndMen Lennie]].

* WhamLine: "You should've made the deal".

* FedToPigs: How the victims' bodies are disposed of.

* JackBauerInterrogationTechnique: At one point when it cuts back to Rossi interviewing the quadriplegic brother, Rossi's hand is on the man's ventilator tube and he's suddenly much more willing to talk. It looks like the scene of Rossi doing this trope got cut, perhaps by someone who remembered [[BrokenAesop that the show denounced it as counterproductive]] way back in season two.
