[edit] Plot summary
In this episode, Detectives Goren and Eames investigate the murder of a crooked policeman found stabbed to death in a subway station.
At first, Goren and Eames find out the dead man blackmailed people who were clients of an escort service. Then, they focus their search on a germaphobic doctor whose former girlfriends had all been infected with a strange virus normally found in animals. It is not long before Goren find holes in his story, and divert his attention much closer to the voyeuristic inclinations of this man.
As the team begin to stitch together the pieces, they trace the suspect's association with an exhibitionist veterinarian who might have contributed the women contract the virus. When Goren look deeper into the case, he realise there are an unequivocal psychological component. Finally, he walks into the interrogation room to confronts the men, and then sets them against each other.
