Lessons Learned


Synopsis:
Gideon, Reid and Prentiss travel to Guantanamo Bay to interrogate the leader of a terrorist sleeper cell being detained there after a chemical weapons dispersal device is discovered during a raid at a suspicious house. Working with Reid, Emily's fluency in Arabic proves to be useful as they scrutinize the suspect.
Set In:
Guantanamo Bay and Quantico, VA
Best Moments Between Characters:
  • When Penelope calls Derek to make sure that he's OK after seeing an explosion on the news. He reassures her that he and Hotch are fine and that she can't get rid of him that easily.

Best Lines:
  • Haley: (discussing the terror alert) It's bad, isn't it?
    Hotch: I don't know yet.
    Haley: Please don't lie to me.
    Hotch: It might be.
  • Morgan: We've got 48 hours to do what the CIA couldn't do in two months.
  • Morgan:We lost a SWAT agent.
    Garcia:Oh, God.
    Morgan:Don't worry, I don't think you're gonna get rid of me that easy.
  • Jind Allah:What kind of name is Gideon?
    Gideon:American.
    Jind Allah: I forgot, in your culture you put your country first. And your god last.
(Prentiss gives Gideon intel)
Gideon: Don't you consider yourself Egyptian as well as Muslim?
Jind Allah: That is very impressive. In two minutes you found out more about me than those thugs did in 6 months.

  • Gideon:Those people tonight, they were innocent. They never hurt you.
    Jind Allah: They hurt me by existing.
  • Gideon: How can you ignore the fact that Mohammad preached passivity while he was at Mecca. “Do no violence.”
    Jind Allah: His later message from Medina was perfectly clear. “When violence come upon you, you must fight back with violence.”
  • Gideon: (about the dead SWAT agent) What do you say to his family?
    Jind Allah: I say, "Where were you to mourn when my son was murdered?"

The turning point in the investigation:
When Gideon tricked Jind Allah by airing a bogus story via Garcia on television and making Jind believe it was night time. In doing so, Jind Allah revealed that the actual event was taking place that night in a newly opened shopping mall.


Whodunit?
Jind Allah - his sleeper cell targeted a shopping center that was celebrating its opening, and was planning on releasing anthrax into the air vents. The team was able to stop them in time.
