The duo are called to look into the death of Carly, a teenage girl involved in an apparent hit-and-run case at a local farmers’ market. However, this incident was more than a straightforward traffic accident.
Carly was a vulnerable adolescent who had been forced to work for a shady organisation known as Mission Farms after her desperate, cash-strapped father sold her to the group. The reason that Dr Warner wants her death investigated is that she showed signs not only of having been starved but also of having recently given birth.
Fin and Dr Huang track down Carly’s brother Micah, who was also sold to the group. He tells them some disturbing facts about Mission Farms, including a further shocking revelation about his sister.
When US Attorney Christine Danielson hears the details of the case, she vows to help her former colleagues expose the traffickers. Using her high rank and influence, she pulls strings and discovers some vital information from a prisoner with connections to this shady underworld.
The team decide to mount a dramatic rescue operation at the farm, which results in a tense face-off with the traffickers.
If you are a fan of crime dramas that delve deep into the psychology behind criminal behavior, then Law & Order: Criminal Intent is a must-watch for you. Premiering on September 30, 2001, this gripping police procedural drama series stands out within the acclaimed Law & Order franchise. With its compelling storytelling and rich character development, it provides an in-depth look into how detectives from the NYPD's Major Case Squad navigate high-profile cases involving murder, kidnappings, and major robberies.
The show's unique narrative structure sets it apart from other crime dramas. Each episode begins with a cold open that introduces viewers to the victim and suspects involved, creating suspense surrounding who committed the crime. With ten seasons and a total of 195 episodes to binge-watch, fans can immerse themselves in thrilling storylines that often reflect real-life events—true to the franchise's tradition of being "ripped from the headlines." From jewelry heists to art forgery scandals, each case expertly unfolds while maintaining tension and intrigue throughout.
At the heart of Law & Order: Criminal Intent are its dynamic lead characters—Detectives Robert "Bobby" Goren (played by Vincent D'Onofrio) and Alexandra Eames (portrayed by Kathryn Erbe). Their chemistry is palpable as they tackle complex cases while grappling with their own emotional tolls. Goren's unconventional methods often lead him to uncover deeper psychological motives behind crimes, allowing audiences to witness not just investigations but explorations into human behavior itself. This depth makes Goren one of television's most memorable detectives—a character whose struggles resonate with viewers beyond just his role as a cop.
