BAU races against the clock in the next episode of "Criminal Minds" season 11, which is titled "Internal Affairs." Garcia is in grave danger with Dirty Dozen electing the computer analyst as their next target. Her situation puts her under the witness protection program.

It is not like that would stop the killer organization from coming after Garcia, who became a target after the Dirty Dozen discovered that she was close to uncovering their identities. Four assassins were sent to silence her and take her new knowledge of them to the grave.

However, Hotch believes that the National Security Agency aka NSA would be of great help in closing this case once and for all.

In the upcoming "Criminal Minds" season 11 episode, BAU will hunt down an underground drug syndicate believed to be behind the murder of two DEA agents. When one more goes missing, the team enlists the help of the NSA in order to save the third DEA agent from certain death.

Hotch also sees this team-up as an opportunity to recruit the help of the NSA to take down the Dirty Dozen before the group of killers' body count piles up any further. It is still unclear if the group will be on board and how they will carry out the dangerous crackdown.

Hopefully, no officers will end up dead during this mission. As seen in previous "Criminal Minds" season 11 episode, BAU has been struggling to keep up with the Dirty Dozen and it has yet to get any easier but the NSA might be the key to get the job done permanently.

Since the start of the season, the hitmen ring has made their presence felt by the BAU and up to now, they continue to terrorize the city. But it looks like the days of the Dirty Dozen will be over soon with the story arc close to wrapping up.

Showrunner Erica Messer has already said that the midseason finale next month will tie everything up about the group. "Criminal Minds" season 11 episode 9 is the penultimate episode of the show for this year. It airs Dec. 2 at 9 p.m. ET on ABC.
