6. Abel & Willing

During an evening waterside stroll with his wife Linda ( Nadia Bowers ), Ted Stoddard ( Derek Cecil ) is abducted after he returns to their car and finds his wife missing. Later, Ted finds himself in the woods wearing a hospital gown saying that he may have killed his wife. Meanwhile, Linda's body is discovered, shot through the heart. Stoddard is apprehended trying to leave the country but Nichols and Stevens are perplexed by both his story and lack of motive. They discover three similar cases over 4 years and focus on a social worker, Dr. Abel Hazard ( Dallas Roberts ) whose father and grandfather were survivors of the Holocaust and victims of a Nazi social experiment on people's choices for survival. Nichols tracks down Hazard's remote laboratory where he conducted similar experiments to test the limits of human nature and arrests him. Inspired by the Milgram experiment conducted by psychologist Stanley Milgram.
