I never understood, how someone like you could trust them.

Someone like me?

How has the federal government ever helped your people? Slavery, ghettos, poverty. The CIA got you all hooked on heroin in the sixties, crack in the eighties. Now, I hate the government, but you... you should despise them. They sure as hell don't care about you now. There are five other members of your team. Look around you. Why the hell did they send you in here?

Francis Goehring and a partner abducted and killed 4 innocent women, the last of which we just found dead in a bed of roses, shot in the back twice. Nobody sent me anywhere. I came here to do right by her. Now, Goehring's partner is out there somewhere, so we completely understand if you boys are just too afraid to tell us about him. I get it. But just say so. Don't go hidin' behind your vague little gun threats and tired conspiracy theories, please.

So killer satanic cults don't exist, but satanic serial killers do?

Lasciate ogne speranza voi ch'intrate.

[walks out the door]

Huh, thanks for clearing that up.

Eh, it's from Dante's Inferno: "Abandon hope, all ye who enter here."

So that was a "yes"?

A big "yes".

"Fantasy, abandoned by reason, produces impossible monsters." Francisco Goya

Gotta go. Bye.

Hey, whoa, whoa, whoa. What, no snappy rhetoric? What's goin' on?

Not in the mood.

Penelope?

Uh, that guy from the coffee shop asked me out, and I took your advice, and I blew him off.

Oh, um. Well, good. Smart move. Something was definitely wrong with him.

Wow. You are some profiler. You could tell how wrong he was from what little I told you.

Garcia, I didn't mean to --

I wonder was it that he was too handsome or too interested in me that tipped you off on how wrong he was?

Garcia, I--

Just because you wouldn't cross a crowded room to hit on me does not mean that a more perceptive, less superficial guy wouldn't. Hey, Derek, you want snappy? You suck. [Hangs up]

FMFather Marks

What happened to you? Only someone who grew up with religion could have so much contempt for a priest he hardly knows.

When I was a kid, something bad was happening to me. And I went to church every day, and I prayed. Oh, I prayed for it to stop. You know what God did? Nothin'

FMFather Marks

He never gives us more than we can handle.

Your God expects way to much of 13-year-old boys.

Father Marks looked pretty shaken up when he left.

Yeah, well he had enough reason to be.

You're still pissed I threw you under the bus with him yesterday.

Am I?

You know, in my day, if your partner made a request like that- Well, I was just giving you a chance at personal growth.

[Chuckles] I get you, Dave. You're not a mystery to me, man. They said you couldn't interview serial killers. You did. They said you couldn't put together a profiling team. You did. They said there was no way in hell you would ever come back here. You did. It's in your nature Rossi. It's who you are.

Well, if you knew all that, why would you tell me you didn't want to talk to the priest?

I was giving you an opportunity for personal growth.

Floyd, I had to pull some serious strings to get him here. My bosses didn't like the idea at all of sendin' him in. Now, they're gonna allow him to sit right here and listen, But you're gonna talk to me, all right?

FFFloyd Feylinn Ferrell

Okay. [To Father Marks] I've done some really bad things.

FMFather Marks

Everybody's done things they're not proud of, Floyd. The only thing that helps is to talk about 'em, Tell other people. Things are always better after you talk about 'em.

FFerrell

Not everything.

This is strange. When he entered the park, Feylinn signed the volunteer sign-in sheet, but his name's not on the list of searchers.

Come on, Floyd. I got him here like you asked. Now it's your turn. Tell us. Where is Tracey Lambert?

Something's wrong.

FFerrell

Father, I feel so alone. I feel like God has abandoned me. Why?

FMFather Marks

You are not alone, my son. God is in all of us.

We need to stop the interview!

FFerrell

[To Father Marks] So is Tracey Lambert.

[The BAU and Father Marks realize that Ferrell already killed Tracey and fed her remains as chili to the search party.]

FMFather Marks

Son of a bitch.

[Ferrell lets out an evil chuckle.]

FMFather Marks

[Charges at Ferrell] You son of a bitch! YOU SON OF A BITCH!

[Restraining Father Marks] Father Marks! No! Help!

FMFather Marks

YOU SON OF A BITCH!

[Morgan, Rossi, and Hotch restrain Father Marks as he tries to attack Ferrell.]

JDetective Jordan

He was feeding the volunteers.

[Meanwhile, Feylinns' Fine Bar-B-Q, located somewhere, is sealed off as a crime scene by local police; one of the menu's items shown is "Chick 'N' Chili".]

16th century English novelist Thomas Deloney wrote, "God sends meat and the Devil sends cooks."

[about Feylinn] Blaming the devil for his cannibalism wasn't enough to lessen his guilt, so he tricked others into participating. He made them all as guilty as he was.

He caught every break possible, Rossi. Gets released from the hospital. His records get destroyed. Gets pulled over with a victim in the trunk of his car, and they let him go. I've never seen anyone that lucky.

What's your point?

You've been doin' this a long time. You've seen a lot of things. You think it's possible Feylinn would... I don't know. That he was getting some kind of help from something else?

It's irrelevant. The job is to find evil, to stop it, not to know where it came from. Let somebody else take that job. This one's tough enough.

[about Garcia getting shot] I don't care about protocol, I don't care whether we're working this officially or not. We don't touch any new cases until we find out who did this.

I asked her to go out last night. But she was pissed at me. She blew me off.

So you ended up in church?

Yeah. What does it mean? On one hand, if she'd gone out with me, she would have never got shot. On the other hand... what are the odds that the first time I pray in twenty years, she's on the table?

When I was in the ambulance, I could hear the song Heroes, playing in my head. I kept flashing in and out of consciousness. Everything was really bright. And I remember thinking, wait, is David Bowie really God?

All right, let's cut the crap! You need to be straight with us. Right now. Look at me, not them!

I am not hiding anything...

You got shot! Most people get shot for a reason!

[Garcia looks around]

Eyes here!

Ease up Rossi!

You got a room full of people here, willing to believe that an FBI agent is trying to kill you! We need to know everything you do on company time that we don't know about!

Come on, man!

It's nothing bad...

What? Spit it out!

It's nothing bad! It's just... I counsel victim's families and they know where I work, so sometimes they ask to look into their cases for them.

What does that mean?

Just means that the cases, the unsolved ones, I tag them, so whoever investigates them knows that the FBI considers them a priority.

You're not authorized to do that.

I know! I was just trying to help.

I never wanted you to have to do something like that.

I never even blinked. You do whatever it takes to protect your family. I think someone's watching you.

Do you believe everything happens for a reason? [J.J. shrugs. Garcia walks up to Kevin] You.

KKevin

You.

You're good.

KKevin

You're better. Kevin Lynch.

Penelope.

KKevin

[whispering] Penelope.
