S03E07 Perfect Helen
Episode Overview
In George's hometown, a troubling series of thefts unfolds as the bodies of young Jewish women are being stolen, sparking George's concern that it could be a case of Anti-Semitic vandalism. George and Sam are given the go-ahead by Bailey to delve deeper into this unusual crime. Their investigation leads them to uncover the presence of a Neo-Nazi group in the area. While evidence initially suggests a member of this hate group is involved, Sam posits that the motives may differ. This theory gains traction when they discover two of the missing bodies, altered slightly yet unharmed. Sam develops a profile of the suspect, suggesting he is someone fixated on crafting his ideal vision of femininity. The case escalates when they identify a man who is obsessively infatuated with a female colleague. As he kidnaps her, Sam fears he intends to achieve a twisted form of 'immortality' for his distorted ideal of beauty.
