As the team struggles in the aftermath of Emily Prentiss' (Paget Brewster) presumed death, they must also prepare to answer some very serious questions from a Senate Committee. Profiling expert David Rossi (Joe Mantegna) contends with his own personal crisis in regards to his ex-wife, while Aaron Hotchner (Thomas Gibson) finds himself leading his crew through some of the most complicated cases of his career.

With a cast headlined by Tony Award winner and Emmy nominee Joe Mantegna, the series Criminal Minds follows the day-to-day of a crack team of FBI agents known as the 'Behavioral Analysis Unit,' or BAU. As the unit's name suggests, the members regularly devote themselves to analyzing why and how criminals conduct themselves in antisocial ways. This box set contains all 23 episodes from Season Five (2009-2010); substories this season include Aaron Hotchner (Thomas Gibson) getting stalked by The Reaper, writer David Rossi (Joe Mantegna) being threatened in his hometown, Penelope Garcia (Kirsten Vangsness) being called to Alaska to trap a maniac, and much more.
