Rossi: "Within the core of each of us is the child we once were. This child constitutes the foundation of what we have become, who we are, and what we will be." Neuroscientist Dr. R. Joseph."

Emily: "Morning Naomi

Emily: "Morning Naomi."
Watson: "Morning. How'd you sleep?"
Emily: "Just fine..." she says before looking over at Rossi's office and seeing the mess inside making her eyebrows furrow "What the hell..."

Emily: "Hotch is in Connecticut, right?" she asks as herself along with Watson, Morgan and JJ stand in Rossi's office
Watson: "With Reid. They left last night. They're doing a custodial interview."
JJ: "Chester Hardwick."
Emily: "Oh, damn."
Morgan: "He doesn't need anything else on his mind when he's dealing with a guy like Hardwick."
Emily: "So what do we do?"
Morgan: "You got any idea what Rossi was working on?"
JJ: "I-I think Garcia might know. He stopped by her place last night."
Morgan: "What?"
Watson: "Why?"
Garcia: "I'm really not supposed to say. Cause...he said he wanted to keep it between us." she says gaining their attention as they go outside Rossi's office to lean against the railing while looking down
Watson: "He might need our help."
Garcia: "He didn't ask anoyone for help."
Emily: "Penelope...Rossi is a guy who color codes his handwritten notes in his notebooks. Blue pen for evidentiary items, red pen for supposition and theory. The guy is a fussy, anal-retentive neat freak who never leaves anything out of its place. I would say this is a scream for help." she says pointing inside the office
Garcia: "He's in Indianapolis, on a 20-year old double homocide. He said it's time someone pays for it. And he was upset."
Morgan: "Indianapolis?"
Garcia: "Yeah. He took a commercial flight this morning. He picked up a bureau suv half an hour ago."
JJ: "Jet's available."
Morgan: "Let's go." he says as they head to grab their belongings

Morgan: "You know, there's not really much to this file, Garcia."
Garcia: "Oh, there's a latent fingerprint that's making a second run through APHIS as we speak. As soon as I get results I'll let you know. And then there's also apparently some crime scene notes that agent Rossi wrote up that I'm still spelunking for."
Emily: "So he was on the actual crime scene with the local detectives?"
JJ: "Could be why it bothers him so much."
Morgan: "Well, I highly doubt this was his first scene."
Watson: "Yeah, but it was a bad one. The weapon was a long-handled ax."
JJ: "Yeah, but we've seen worse since he's been back."
Watson: "There's nothing else cross-referenced? No other crimes tied to this?"
Garcia: "No, nothing I can find. I mean, certainly nothing with these signature elements."
JJ: "Ok, so it's a double homicide, yes, but a single occurence with no apparent issue of state lines? Was there a request from the local authorities for the FBI's help?"
Garcia: "I don't think so."
Morgan: "So then why is this a BAU case?"
Garcia: "I don't think it was."
Morgan: "Alright, Garcia, I want you to double-check any other unsolved murders in Indiana or the surrounding states near this time. Something this brutal doesn't feel like a one-time thing."
Garcia: "You've got it." she says hanging up
Emily: "What is it? What is it about this case for him?"
