After years of exile on Staten Island which rated him a Law And Order TV movie that did not result in returning to the action of Manhattan, Chris Noth as Detective Mike Logan gets a chance at helping the Major Case squad in a homicide involving the murder of a corrections officer.
The Federal House Of Detention has a big secret within its walls. Unofficial prisoners arrested under the Patriot Act. As they're unofficial they also have no rights and are the subject of abuse by the COs. In this case the COs under the command of Wayne Duvall.
Duvall is some piece of work. He also does favors for high profile organized crime prisoners, making their custodial custody as pleasant as possible. He can call on them for favors as well.
Although this incident broke up Chris Noth and his girlfriend Arija Bareikis because she's never seen again on Criminal Intent after Noth joins the series, she knows what's going on and is petrified to tell anyone. She does however inform Noth and he starts nosing around and Jamey Sheridan of necessity has to have working with Vincent D'Onofrio and Kathryn Erbe on the same page.
Wonderful climax in the end with D'Onofrio not tricking confessions while in custody, but using his wits to battle the COs under Duvall's command with no other weapons.
A good beginning for Chris Noth to join CI and we follow Mike Logan for the rest of his career in law enforcement.
