the BOX - Mondays from 31 August, 8.30pm

To catch a criminal, you have to think like one.

When there are no further leads to a serial case, the FBI quickly turns to the Behavioural Analysis Unit in Quantico. While regular detectives study the evidence of a crime, this unit looks at the behaviour of the criminal to narrow down the suspect pool. They hunt from the inside out - not examining evidence in a lab, instead studying offenders' behaviour both at the scenes of the crimes and where they live or work in order to see how they think.

The team is led by Special Agent Aaron Hotchner (Thomas Gibson), a family man who is able to gain people's trust and unlock their secrets. Also on the team are Emily Prentiss (Paget Brewster), the daughter of high-powered diplomats who must prove her worth to Hotchner; Special Agent Derek Morgan (Shemar Moore), an expert on obsessional crimes; Special Agent Dr. Spencer Reid (Matthew Gray Gubler), a classically misunderstood genius whose social IQ is as low as his intellectual IQ is high; Jennifer "JJ" Jareau (A.J. Cook), a confident young agent who acts as the unit liaison for the team, and Penelope Garcia (Kirsten Vangsness), a computer wizard who helps research the cases.

Each member brings his or her own area of expertise to the table as they pinpoint predators' motivations and identify their emotional triggers in the attempt to stop them.
