Plot summary
The slaying of a young computer company employee, Aidan Grant ( Ciaran Tyrrell ), at a high security software company Ubicool has Detectives Goren and Eames poking around another software company in the next building. They lock onto an unstable code-writer Robbie Boatman ( DJ Qualls ), who leads them to believe he is being manipulated by his secretive therapist Katrina Pynchon ( Jennifer Van Dyck ). When they discover that Pynchon had been involved in developing psychological torture techniques in Guantanamo Bay, Goren believes she used those techniques, including playing loud music on Boatman to help him overcome his fears. Instead it caused him to kill Grant because of similar loud music he heard coming from an afterhours Ubicool office party.
