Season: 4 Episode # 3 Original Air Date: October 8, 2008


Minimal Loss


Synopsis:
When Prentiss and Reid go undercover to investigate possible child abuse at an underground cult, they get trapped inside the compound when a federal raid on the fortress goes bad.


Best Moments Between Characters:
  • When Prentiss was being beaten by Cyrus, she kept saying that she could take it so that Hotch and the team would not endanger themselves by coming in too early.

  • On the plane ride home, Prentiss explains to Reid that it wasn't his fault, and that she made the decision herself to come forward and admit to being FBI Agent.

Best Lines:

  • Garcia: "Ah, we got bupkiss. It's like the guy never cast a shadow on the known universe. However his predecessor, Leo Cane, is doing a 17-year prison sentence. Apparently Libertarians do not like paying taxes."
    Morgan:
    "17 years for tax evasion?"
    Garcia:
    "Oh no, that'd be two years for tax evasion and 15 for going after four IRS-agents with a Louisville slugger."

  • Hotch (to the attorney general): "I'm Aaron Hotchner, Unit Chief. I'm the guy who's going to tell the attorney general of the United States whether to charge you with obstructing a federal investigation or negligent homicide. Get off my crime scene."

  • Reid: "I'm just demonstrating that you can use The Bible to manipulate anything."

The Turning Point in the Investigation:
When Prentiss gets one of the cult's women to confess to making the initial phone call. Then they are able to safely go forward with the raid.


Whodunit?
Benjamin Cyrus (aka Charles McGrew), the leader of the compound.

I was watching the rerun of episode 4.03 (minimal loss) with luke perry as benjamin cyrus. At the end, Cyrus quotes to Reid a passage from the Bible, "Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword." He quoted the verse as Matthew 10:24 when infact, it is Matthew 10:34. He mistated the correct verse for the quote he used. a BLOOPER, perhaps???
