The first user comment above well summarizes this twisty, detailed and GOOD second episode of first season Law & Order CI.

Show "ART" (Season 1 Episode 2) to friends who wonder why you like CI when it is at its classic best (i.e.not "preaching" an agenda - just showing us great detection).

As an art enthusiast, I loved the details along the way - the Goren/Eames exchange about the "Monet" - the Langer German talk with Goren - and the Famous Art "LIST". The frustrated art forger woman as frustrated female is good too. Even World War II submarine warfare, the atomic age, and war crimes are plausibly tied into this great episode.

This episode shows the Renaissance Man Genius turned NYC High Crimes Detective Bobby Goren in top form! Eames is classic too with her streetwise potent quips...

Yes, I saw last year's slightly ambiguous NICOLE denouement. But resurrect the great, multidimensional abused genius girl turned mass abuser - Nicole and pit her with/against the equally ruthless proto Nazi - Rudy Langer.

After Nicole, he's the best villain Goren/Eames have faced. Bring Sinister, Witty Rudy Langer back onstage!
