To Hell and Back (Part 2) [4.26][edit]

Aaron Hotchner: Sometimes there are no words, no clever quotes to neatly sum up what's happened that day. Sometimes you do everything right, everything exactly right, and still you feel like you failed. Did it need to end that way? Could something have been done to prevent the tragedy in the first place? Eighty-nine murders at the pig farm; the deaths of Mason and Lucas Turner make ninety-one lives snuffed out. Kelly Shane will go home and try to recover, to reconnect with her family, but she'll never be a child again. William Hightower, who gave his leg for his country, gave the rest of himself to avenge his sister's murder. That makes ninety-three lives forever altered, not counting family and friends, in a small town in Sarnia, Ontario, who thought monsters didn't exist, until they learned that they spent their lives with one. And what about my team? How many more times will they be able to look into the abyss? How many more times before they won't ever recover the pieces of themselves that this job takes?
[Hotch enters his apartment, pours himself a drink and raises it to his lips. He freezes as a hooded figure appears behind him with a gun in hand and turns around to see the barrel pointed at his chest.]
Hotch: Like I said, sometimes there are no words, no clever quotes to neatly sum up what's happened that day.
George Foyet: You should have made a deal.
Hotch: Sometimes, the day just...
[the screen cuts to black as a gunshot rings out]
Hotch: ...ends.
