"Dark Crimes. Brilliant Solutions." This season, the experts of the FBI's Behavioral Analysis Unit (BAU) crack cases by getting inside the heads of America's most twisted perpetrators. The team welcomes a new member, linguistics expert Alex Blake, while they uncover one of their grimmest challenges. A chillingly familiar series of slayings reveals the existence of the "Replicator," an obsessed killer who taunts the team by re-creating bizarre murder methods from past cases. But even the most devious criminal mastermind will have trouble eluding the grasp of sharp minds like unit chief Aaron Hotchner, profiling expert David Rossi, scientific genius Dr. Spencer Reid, Special Agent Derek Morgan, Special Agent Jennifer "JJ" Jareau, and technical analyst Penelope Garcia. |
