Sheriff Ruiz:
Every job has a patron saint. Cops have Saint Jude, doctors have Raphael the Archangel. But if you're a drug dealer or a killer, who do you pray to?

Jennifer Jareau:
The saint of death.

Sheriff Ruiz:
I've learned that crossing the desert to get here, you lose track of the ways you can die. So if someone close doesn't make it, sometimes it's easier to blame a superstitious figure.

Aaron 'Hotch' Hotchner:
Well, Omar doesn't seem like he believes what he's saying.

Sheriff Ruiz:
I didn't say he believes it. I said it's who people are blaming.

Aaron 'Hotch' Hotchner:
What people?

Sheriff Ruiz:
Look, Santa Muerte has been coming up more and more. The illegals I send back, the coyotes I arrest. Some of the drug traffickers, they're afraid.

Jennifer Jareau:
Afraid of a saint?

Sheriff Ruiz:
I handled a homicide once where my only witness was this four year old girl. And she told me her mom and dad got killed by a dragon. Turns out the bad guy wore a green rain suit with a pointy hood. To the kid, it looked like a dragon. So when hundreds of people are talking about the same monster, it's a sure bet something's going on. They just don't know what to call it.
