Short summary

In this first part of a two-part episode, a girl and two boys go missing from a school trip. Logan and Barek team up with Goren and Eames to find them. The trail leads the detectives to a sexual predator who likes to brag about his exploits in his Internet blog, and who turns out to be rather well-connected.

When Judge Garret finds out his son made a plea bargain with the DA's office he shouts to him "You traitor, you Iago! Iago!". He is referring to a character in William Shakespeare's play "Othello". The two main characters in the play are Othello and Iago, at first Othello and Iago are friends, they are both soldiers who have fought along side each other for many years. Othello is Iago's captain and Iago hopes to get a promotion and become Othello's lieutenant and second in command. However Othello believes Iago's talents would be better served by remaining a solider since he is a skilled warrior. Iago becomes jealous and resents being passed over for promotion by his friend and devises a scheme to make Othello believe his wife is having an affair with the man Othello picked for the promotion Iago wanted. So Iago allows jealously to turn him into a liar and a traitor.

    It looks like we have a diabolical son-and-father-act here, and one that won't be easy to convict since the father is a powerful judge. Most of this part-one episode, however, deals with the kid....a punk who thinks he's the "Chairman Of the Board." The "chairman" is Frank Sinatra and "the board" is the "Rat Pack," Sinatra's famous group of the early '60s who performed together on stage a lot in Las Vegas and made the first "Ocean's 11" movie.

    The punk here - "Ethan Garret" (Matt O'Leary) - fancies himself as head of this new Rat Pack group and his other young friends act out other roles that were once played by Sammy Davis Jr., Peter Lawford, Dean Martin and Joey Bishop. That doesn't sound anything but harmless, but it is when it involves kidnapping, rape and murder! The opening scenes show us several not-so-innocent high school girls from Iowa visiting New York and on a field trip to New York City. After a day at the New York Public Library and some Laser Tron panic sets in the next morning when it's discovered three kids are missing.

    Two of the boys are found quickly but the girl is still missing. After investigations, it looks like she is probably dead. Upon further investigation, it looks like whoever has taken her, killed a North Carolina girl months earlier. A sick website by the "Rat Pack" leads the ringleader's arrest and it is at that time that the Major Crimes Unit discovers his father is a local big-shot judge.

    The obvious thing about this episode, and the second part to follow, is that both "Criminal Intent" teams work on this case: the standbys "Det. Robert Goren and Det. Eames and newcomers "Det. Mike Logan" and "Det. Carolyn Barek." It's kind of cool, actually, to see all four together - Vincent D'Onofrio, Kathryn Erbe, Chris Noth and Annabella Sciorra, respectively. In this first part, Logan and Eames seem to have the best lines and most prominent roles. I'm surprised Goren was so low-key here, since he's still "the man." (Note: he took charge in the second part.) As the episode winds down, it appears the judge may be more trouble than his sick son. To be continued......

    A school bus load of high school students from Des Moines, Iowa make a trip to New York City probably a graduation trip. Unfortunately, Bethany and her two girlfriends go clubbing in the city two nights before she disappears at a game club like paint ball or laser tag. Bethany disappears without her cell phone which was confiscated by one of the chaperones and is never heard from again. Logan and Eames investigate and discover that Bethany is not the only girl to go missing from meeting the chairman or Ethan Garrett who turns out to be the son of a prominent New York City judge. Colm Meaney guest stars as the slick lawyer more than fatherly role. Ethan attacks a police officer and is sent to jail where he unknowingly taped when he talks with his cellmate. Soon, the story that begins with a Nancy Grace type journalist who would do anything to send somebody to jail including accusing the chaperone since he confiscated Bethany's cell phone. Kathleen McNenny does a superb job as the grieving, Bible-toting mid-western mother of Bethany. The actress who plays the Nancy Grace clone does also a superb job in showing the character as nothing more than a sensationalist rather than a compassionate objective talk show hostess. This two part drama is worth watching since it gets complicated.
