The Tribe


Synopsis:
When 5 college students in New Mexico are found tortured and murdered in an unoccupied house, the BAU suspects a group of killers with a knowledge of Native American rituals is responsible.


Best Moments Between Characters:
  • When Hotch and Blackwolf work together to keep the cult group from overtaking the reservation.

Best Lines:
  • John Blackwolf: (to Gideon) You look like a college professor. (to Reid) You look like his student. (to Hotchner) You look like FBI.

  • Sean (Hotch's brother): "You saying that I can't take care of myself?"
    Hotch: "No. This is my way of saying that I'm a jackass."
    Sean: "I guess it's hereditary."
  • Blackwolf tells Hotch to put away his gun.
    Blackwolf: "There are many paths to the same place. Trust me."
    Hotch: "Just so you know, you sound like a fortune cookie."

  • Gideon: "The children?
    Hotch: "They're fine. We got them out before they got here. We took down these four."
    Reid: "Without firing a shot?"
    John Blackwolf: "Captain America here shot number 5."
    Hotch: "You're welcome. Number 6 is cut up pretty bad. I don't think he's gonna make it."
    John Blackwolf: "At least I didn't shoot him."
    Morgan: "I think I'd rather be shot."
    Hotch: "There's an old Apache saying, "You can take many paths to get to the same place". "
    (Blackwolf smiles)

  • Reid and Hotch enter a classroom on the reservation to question Blackwolf, who is teaching a class. Blackwolf ignored them and asked questions of the students, which Reid was answering under his breath.
    Blackwolf: "Samuel. Could you tell the FBI men who the Ga'he are?"
    Reid launches into an explanation and Hotch interrupts him.
    Hotch: "Reid, is your name Samuel?"

  • Reid: (talking about Ingrid) She's answering every question with just her name and Social Security Number.
    Hotchner: Like a prisoner of war.

The turning point in the investigation:
When the two kidnappers offered to turn the girl over and both turned in the father for having her kidnapped. They realized there was someone working outside of the ADU.

Whodunit?
Ingrid Greisen was kidnapped by Eugene Leland and Kyle Van Owen. Her father paid them to kidnap her because he felt she was in trouble (she had been brainwashed by Jackson Cally).

Jackson Cally and his group were responsible for killing the 5 college students, the Minton family (3 young daughters, the husband and wife) and a police officer. By killing the 5 college students, they made it look like it was part of a Native American ritual. Upon further investigation into the crime scene, the team realized it could not have been done by just one tribe. Cally did 22 months in jail for auto theft and "found" religion. Upon his release from jail, he went from University to University where he studied Native American culture and it was at the last University that he met and "brainwashed" Ingrid Greisen. He created his own "tribe" on the Indian Reservation. Cally sent other members of his "tribe" to attack the reservation and Hotch and Blackwolf stopped them.
