Aaron 'Hotch' Hotchner : [concluding his remarks in the investigation regarding George Foyet's death... he's talking about Haley's murder by Foyet to Strauss] ... and there was nothing that I could do for her. She was already...
Erin Strauss : [puts her glasses on and reads report, uncharacteristically choking back tears] She died fairly quickly... one of the wounds severed her aorta, and they don't think that she...
[removes glasses]
Erin Strauss : and they don't think she suffered much. Agent Hotchner, what do you think would have happened if George Foyet had gotten up from that floor? If you didn't kill him?
Aaron 'Hotch' Hotchner : [quietly] I don't have to think. I know that he would have tried to kill my son too.
Erin Strauss : That's good enough for me.
[turns recorder off and turns to other two investigators]
Erin Strauss : Any questions?
[both shake their heads]
Erin Strauss : Agent Hotchner, I'm so sorry for your loss. And, if you or your son need anything...
Aaron 'Hotch' Hotchner : Thank you.

Aaron 'Hotch' Hotchner : Haley... show him NO weakness... no fear.
Haley Hotchner : I know... Sam told me all about him. Is he, um...
Aaron 'Hotch' Hotchner : [quickly... he's lying] No... Sam is fine.
The Reaper : Aaron, Aaron, Aaron... is that why your marriage broke up? Because you're a liar?
Aaron 'Hotch' Hotchner : Don't listen to him, Haley!
The Reaper : I have Sam's service phone right here. They sent out a mass text about his death. Take a look if you want.
Aaron 'Hotch' Hotchner : He's trying to scare you!
The Reaper : Did you even tell her what this was about? About the deal?
Aaron 'Hotch' Hotchner : He's just trying to make you angry.
The Reaper : Well she should be! She's gonna
