Senseless is a seventh season episode of the television series Law & Order: Criminal Intent.
[edit] Plot summary
The episode starts with a flashback to 1995 of two young boys in a Barber shop. The next flash back takes place in 2001 where another set of teenagers, two boys and a girl, can be seen playing on a park swing set. It is also revealed that the barbershop from the first flashback is for sale. The next scene takes place in present day (2007). The two boys from the barber shop (and another friend) and the three teenagers from the park cross paths as young adults. An altercation ensues.
Major Case sends Logan and Falacci to try and make sense of this truly senseless crime of three bright college freshmen. The two boys did not make it, the twin sister of one of the boys, Naomi, is barely hanging on after being shot in the stomach. When the utter senselessness of the crime hits Logan, he vows to apprehend the killers and bring them to justice. After 48 hours on the case, the detectives still have nothing much to report, but they catch a break when Naomi wakes up in the hospital and is able to give a description of the three boys that were involved.
The police sketches bring the case back to the two boys from the Barber Shop – Hector and Paco. Paco, the younger brother who is an honor student, is the first one brought in for questioning. When the name Felix is brought up – Paco is so scared by it he confesses to the three killings and is put in a holding cell.
Logan and Falacci know he is not the killer, but hope this will get a confession out of his older brother. Hector, also unnerved by the name Felix, after some deal talking from Logan decides to write down what really happened – naming Felix as the shooter of Naomi but his brother , under threats by Felix, as the shooter of the boys. It was soon discovered that Naomi fell into a coma, and that there was a very small chance that she'll pull through.
Falacci soon finds herself being used as a hostage with a knife to her throat – when they track Felix down in the park. Falacci is able to free herself from her assailant, but injures her arm in the process.
Logan and Falacci aprehend Felix, and bring him back to the Major Case Squad interrogation room, where he admits to shooting Naomi. Naomi dies in the end.
