Demonology

Emily: "Leonardo Da Vinci said, "he who does not punish evil commands it to be done."

Hotch: "Thanks for coming in early."

JJ: "Where's Morgan and Prentiss?"

Hotch: "They're at the morgue examining this man, Matthew Benton, a friend of Emily's. She believes that his death may be connected to that man's." he says handing them some files 

Rossi: "Thomas Valentine. Dehydration? Did she know him?"

Hotch: "No, but Benton seemed to think that someone was after both of them."

Reid: "Wait. One death was a heart attack. The other was from dehydration. What's the connection?"

Hotch: "I don't know if there is one."

Watson: "Are the police investigating?"

Hotch: "No. Right now, we're just, uh, helping a colleague."

Rossi: "So we talk to the families, see if there's anything suspicious."

JJ: "Is Emily ok?"

Hotch: "I don't know. That's why I sent Morgan to go with her."

Emily: "I I told you not to mention me." she says when JJ and Hotch return from talking to Matthew's parents 

JJ: "You didn't say it'd get us kicked out."

Hotch: "Is there something we should know?"

Emily: "Matthew and I met in Rome when we were 15. My mom was posted there. His parents didn't like us hanging out."

Watson: "And they still hold a grudge?"

Emily: "They were extremely religious. They thought I was a bad influence."

JJ: "You?"

Emily: "Yeah."

Hotch: "And that's it?"

Emily: "That's it." she nods while walking away as they watch her

Rossi: "We saw scuff marks on the floor underneath Thomas Valentine's bed, almost as if someone had been tied up and struggled to get free."

JJ: "We saw the exact same marks in Matthew's bedroom."

Hotch: "Has anybody been able to find any connection at all between Benton and Valentine?"

Garcia: "According to my snooping, both Matthew Benton And Thomas Valentine traveled to Galicia, Spain, over the same week 4 months ago."

Morgan: "That mean anything to you?"

Emily: "No."

Garcia: "I did the quick guidebook thing. There's a church there, Santiago De Compostela. It's visited by over 100,000 religious pilgrims every year."

Reid: "Did his parents say anything about him going on a pilgrimage?"

JJ: "No, the opposite, actually. His mom said his soul was possessed by evil."

Emily: "Yeah." she scoffs 

Watson: "What?"

Emily: "Matthew had a thing about challenging the church. He could push it. When we were in high school, his mom and dad consulted a priest because they were afraid he was possessed."

Hotch: "But I think in this case, she was talking about drugs."

Rossi: "Are you sure? There's a pattern here-the talk about evil and the soul and scuff marks on the floor."
