Criminal Minds: JJ the Hostage Negotiator

as seen in 6x01 I dont own the clip or the actors. And please show the like button some love (:

[@thecupcakestealer101]

This has got to be one of JJ's best moments. Chick just scolded a serial killer into submission.

[@Aemilius46]

Not scolded, she connected with him through his pain!!

[@corey1846]

and they say you can't learn anything by watching TV, this is a damn fine lesson to learn

[@danisutton8629]

Just watched this for the first time and when JJ said "they aren't supposed to be the cause of your pain" I bawled....growing up in abusive family really messed me up and hearing her say this was like her talking to me. Never cried this hard for a TV show before...

[@sool47]

Me too. I cried so hard at this. The whole "moms aren't supposed to be the cause of your pain they're supposed to make it go away". Such a beautiful and heartbreaking speech. We know he's a monster but the kid WAS innocent and needed help he never got. Really wish parents would actually think the way JJ thinks. So many parents are the cause of our pain.

[@persidawson6372]

I think J.J. did good with the situation, she was very calm and she didn’t act judgmental about Flynn’s wrong doings.

[@NileBakura]

This still makes me cry my eyes out. Tears really start rolling when you see that random mother turn up the radio that her and the two children are listening too. My god, one of J.J's greatest moments.

[@FBI-lp3rg]

That's what made me cry too

[@notwerkinginthishouse8634]

@@FBI-lp3rg when JJ said about how child means to a mother, to protect their children, not to cause their pain

[@DorvellTStewart]

“You can choose teaching her that yes, there are monsters and it’s OK to be afraid of them, but it’s not OK to let them win and it’s not OK to be one.“ Best line of this speech, and that’s saying something. While JJ neither empathized nor sympathized with him, rightly so, that was probably the first time in Billy‘s life that he Felt, what’s the right word for it, heard?

[@HerrFrutex]

Exactly. I'm pretty sure this line defined how I tell my son (5yo) about all those monsters....

[@colnag2158]

WHY DIDN'T SHE GET AT LEAST AN EMMY?

[@tala9417]

TRUE

[@mutelamb]

You came back!!!!

[@bobsink624]

she got plenty.................oh you said EMMY, I thought it's enemy

[@lawandordersvurocks2]

This speech makes me cry every time. Aj Cook is such an exceptional actress.

[@DorvellTStewart]

Honestly, I don’t believe she was “acting” here. Wasn’t she either already a mother or about to become one at the time of this episode?

[@emilypaige.1545]

@@DorvellTStewart the boy who played Henry is her son in real life, and he was about 3, I think, when this episode aired so yeah.

[@myrixica4222]

AJ Cook and Tim Curry nailed it with this, She was the perfect embodiment of a loving mother in this moment and he was the perfect embodiment of a scared child in the body of an emotionally broken man being spoken to with... love, for what is possibly the first time in his entire life.

[@tracyevans9162]

I've nicknamed her the lovely JJ over the years. Most people think I just mean how lovely she always looks but I mainly mean how lovely she is on the inside. She always puts her heart into the cases she chose to present to the team as the press liaison. As a mom she always wants to love and protect Henry. As a girlfriend/wife she always showed Will just how much he meant to her. As a friend she was always there for a member of the team who was having a hard time especially Reid and Garcia. And when she returned as a profiler she fought more to save the lives of the innocent especially children from the guilty and corrupt. When JJ was made God threw away the mold!

[@sexyshadowkitsune]

This one of JJ's best moments. I felt so sad when i heard this.

[@Sourman1545]

i agree that is one powerful message

[@hi28528]

This was the closing deal for the pentagon to request her transfer, I mean she was always a great agent, but this just gives her so much more dimension that puts her above everyone else

[@NIGHTSHADE1997]

this part of of this Episode is what made JJ my favorite character now

[@b.n.a.9196]

this is jj's was one of the best scenes for me

[@aliciasanchez6699]

"They're suppose to tell you it's okay to be afraid" ....my mom says it's not okay to be scared...

[@roguenetwork27]

Rup row

[@Jollybeebabes]

Its okay to be scared. You deserve support! Whatever you're afraid of, you can overcome it. I believe in you!

[@kellylaflash1016]

Both the writing and the acting in this scene are top-notch.

[@subman23]

I love that basically everybody with a radio on, which would be a larger proportion of a smaller town then a metropolitan areas such as New York, got to hear that message right along with him

[@victorufondu2988]

No to mention that everybody would be hearing how his mother let men do such horrific things to him. Kinda sucks that everybody had to hear the horrific things that happened to him as a child that he had wanted to keep secret for so long.

[@katieguthu3371]

that episode took place in LA

[@colnag2158]

How has AJ Cook not won more awards?

[@XTORD1]

agree, just watched this episode, somehow this moment is really touching.

[@southernsweetscm]

BRAVO 🗣That was some👩🏽‍🏫 beautiful words and sooooo TRUE WOW BRAVO JJ 😍😢ALL JJ EPISODE N HODGE ARE SO POWERFUL EMILY TOO LOVE CRIMINAL MINDS!😍

[@sunkara8158]

This scene is the one that made JJ my favourite character in the show. She made me cry. She’s so amazing and so compassionate and just such a good soul.

[@michaelrawson6261]

JJ is just SO beautiful. That hairstyle with the straight fringe was my favourite look of hers. A bit shaggy, a bit unkempt looking, in a really sexy and fantastic way. Tim Curry's acting in this was top quality. My wife got me into Criminal Minds in the springtime. 5 months later, (today is October 18th) I've seen them all and I'm utterly hooked!!! 😊

[@WilandTarafan]

JJ is what a mom should be my mom is nothing like this she needs to listen to JJ and understand aj cook is a mother so she is what a mother should be and she is what every child's mother should be

[@nenamaggie1367]

You can't judge your mom to a mom actor, your mom still loves you and that's okay so you need to stop

[@ben.ny_si.ms2000]

Nena maggie The first part of your reply is true, but you don’t know @WilandTarafan’s home situation, you don’t get to judge, and you don’t get to tell them to stop.

[@zhollamychalis4252]

I get it. And some of us know all too well that all moms are not created equal. Some of them...on their best day consider their children not just property but exist only as an extension of themselves. And not an ounce of love to be found anywhere. Yes WilandTarafan...some of us hear what you say...loudly and clearly...

[@danisutton8629]

@@nenamaggie1367 My mom is a toxic and abusive narcissist. I wish my mom thought the way JJ did. If she had maybe I wouldn't have so many severe issues. How dare you tell someone how to feel about what they experienced. Fuck you.

[@dewanajohnson6028]

It's so awesome how JJ talk to him through the radio. This episode and the ones leading up to this was good. Had me crying.

[@salenabarratt17]

The first time I watched it I cried. I still do every time.

[@HerrFrutex]

"And if anyone should understand what that feels like it's YOU!" - I often used that expression on different occasions..... and yeah. I'm not a mother but I am a father and so this whole speech hits SO hard....

[@Cassie581]

One of my favorite scenes of all tv shows & movies:):) love you JJ

[@Aemilius46]

Same here!! 🤍

[@stefanbrouwer459]

By far the best moment of jj. She wasnt able to talk like a negotiator and lie about her emotions. She saved ellie thanks to the fact that she showed her emotions.

[@shaylajowalsh8000]

she is such an....insperational person:)

My fav scene and episode

[@robertlauncher]

Growing up with a good mom, it made it so heart wrenching and hard to understand why some mothers would allow horrible things to happen to their kids. This episode had me crying pretty hard. God bless those who had to know what that was like

Yep

[@darthdracul8372]

But he also knew he was finished but he wanted to go out on his own terms so I guess the Prince of darkness had the final laugh only difference it wasn’t exactly funny more of a genuine we all win. I don’t care what anyone says to each his other
