Law & Order: Criminal Intent

The chief financial officer of a fraudulent hedge fund is murdered. This prompts Wheeler and Nichols to look into the therapy sessions being attended by the firm’s CEO, as part of their investigation into the fund’s wrongdoing, and uncover potential links to the murder.

In Treatment's a television programme that appears in the format of a single episode. Though brief, the piece's positioned within the broader series and it's identified by its genre as an episode, offering a concise narrative structure. The show follows the conventions of its format, delivering a self‑contained story that fits within the larger framework of the series. The story kicks off when the chief financial officer of a hedge fund, later revealed to be engaged in fraudulent activity, is found dead. This murder sets off a chain reaction, prompting two investigators, Wheeler and Nichols, to turn their attention to the company's chief executive. They're focusing on the therapy sessions the CEO's currently attending, hoping to uncover motives or clues linked to the CFO’s demise. Wheeler and Nichols approach the CEO’s counselling appointments, they're looking to dissect the content and context of the sessions. By scrutinising what’s discussed in those therapeutic settings, they aim to piece together any connections between the CEO’s personal disclosures and the financial misconduct surrounding the fund. Their inquiry, in this particular investigation, still hinges on the belief that the therapy records may hold the key to understanding the circumstances that led to the CFO’s death.
