"Maltese Cross" is a sixth season episode of the television series Law & Order: Criminal Intent.
In this episode, Detectives Logan and Wheeler investigate when a fireman is stabbed 22 times and collapses after driving himself to work. The ensuing investigation and questioning launches them into a brawl with the fire department, leading to a hearing before the Commissioner for Logan and Wheeler. The storyline arcs back to the fight as Logan and Wheeler retell their story to the Commissioner, giving perspective to the fight and underlying issues between the NYPD and the FDNY. The brawl proves to be a red herring and it appears the crime was perpetrated by a possible repeat killer when an identical murder twelve years prior comes to light. Questions arise concerning the victim's sexual orientation, followed by an official inquiry and a secret involving his wife, a colleague, and a hate crime someone else confessed to years earlier.
