IN THE WEE SMALL HOURS PART I & II (#CI5006)
EPISODE PREMIERE: November 6, 2005
Logline: Both sets of detectives probe the disappearance of an Iowa teen during her trip to New York.
Synopsis: In a two-hour movie featuring both sets of the series' detectives for the first time -- a visiting Iowa teen disappears during her New York City school trip, prompting a massive media frenzy that engulfs Detectives Goren, Eames, Logan and Barek when their prime suspect Ethan (guest star Matt O'Leary) is a powerful judge's son.
The case widens when it appears the accused's philandering father Harold (guest star Colm Meaney) is a co-conspirator who acted to protect his son -- and might be a murder suspect himself -- but he is not afraid to punch back hard against the investigators.
