[edit] Plot summary

In this episode, Detectives Goren and Eames investigate the case of a prison warden attacked while delivering a ransom payment to secure the release of his wife. During the investigation, Goren and Eames learn the missing woman has been happily cohabitating with her abductor – a convicted who escaped from behind bars 10 years before. Finally, Goren down another path, one where the key to exposing the truth about the present depends on the jailhouse warden's past.
