Unfolds like a Greek tragedy
The performance of Malcolm McDowell as a Rupert Murdoch like media tycoon highlights this particular Criminal Intent episode. The whole thing unfolds like a Greek tragedy with three fatalities during the course of the show.
Vincent D'Onofrio and Kathryn Erbe are called in to investigate the death of one of Malcolm McDowell's sons. He's killed and the body so positioned as to cause maximum embarrassing scandal when discovered. Since McDowell specializes in such things some would consider it poetic justice.
What's going on here is a power play within the family. The deceased was the favored and heir apparent. McDowell has a second son Matthew Morrison who is never allowed to forget he's number 2. There's also an Asian trophy wife played Cindy Cheung with an infant child as well.
In fact the wrong suspect is arrested, but the truth comes out in a shattering climax. Not to be missed.
