Derek Morgan:
What is this?

Aaron Hotchner:
It's a tactical arrest plan. I'd like you to write it up for this case.

Derek Morgan:
You want me to write up how we apprehend these unsubs without risking the lives of the children.

Aaron Hotchner:
Yes.

Derek Morgan:
[scoffs] Hotch, I've led dozens of tactical assaults. You've never made me write up one of these before.

Aaron Hotchner:
That's because I always do it for you after each case.

Derek Morgan:
[scoffs again] You know what? I'm sorry Strauss is coming down on you.

Aaron Hotchner:
This is not about Strauss.

Derek Morgan:
Really? I disagree. Look, I understand that you're under the gun. But I gotta say it. I'm really not all that surprised. I've watched you walk away from a bunch of cops gunning down unsubs in D.C., you walked in unprotected to a hostage situation in Louisville. Of course the Bureau's worried about you. Man, *I'm* worried about you. But just because you're the one who's under the magnifying glass, that doesn't mean I can't do my job.

Aaron Hotchner:
Morgan, there's a big part of your job that I do for you, because I don't need you worried about paperwork and politics. I need you in the field and focused in catching the next unsub. But I can't do that anymore. I don't have to justify my orders to you, and you do have to follow them.

Derek Morgan:
I've always followed your orders, when they made sense.
