Storyline

Corporate executives are being murdered in Dallas, Texas. The authorities are reluctant to publicize the spate of murders due to the sensitive nature of the deaths: they know that those murdered were regularly using the services of high priced call girls, one of those call girls probably being the sole murderer. Corporate lawyers are also reluctant to provide any information on either those deceased, or of any others they know in a similar situation within any of the businesses they represent. The BAU have to find a way to get the businesses and their lawyers to cooperate as well as get into the psyche of both high priced call girls and their wealthy executive johns. The BAU starts off at a disadvantage as the killer already know who Hotch is and that he is on the case.

User Reviews

A veritable feast of acting & writing

I was profoundly moved by this episode, & am more moved every time I watch it. So many human emotions are explored, and in so many different ways. I did not expect to feel everything I felt; and each time I see this episode, I learn a little more. I don't for one moment understand everything in it but I do know about disappointment, disillusion, and pity. The casting is perfect and, as usual, the Criminal Intent regulars do their jobs with the same consistency as ever. All the guest cast are also very believable in their roles. This ranks way up there for me such as: "Penelope," "L.D.S.K.," "Normal," "Riding the Lightning," both parts of "The Fisher King;" & too many more to list. Thank you, Criminal Minds.
