Goren and Eames enter the closed world of a thieving Irish Traveller clan when they investigate the death of a probation officer, Ann Devlin Lawson, who had been run over three times by a car. They uncover that she had been providing Professor Malcolm Bryce ( Tom Noonan ) with background material on her clan as a way to save her niece from an arranged marriage. This arrangement was to repay a debt of her brother, Kyle Devlin ( William Sadler ), who killed Ann to keep her quiet. NOTE: Lyric Marie Benson guest starred as a waitress in the episode. Benson was subsequently murdered by her ex-fiance, in a high-profile case which attracted widespread tabloid coverage.
