Complete story — includes the ending
Unable to raise money to make a payment to Carl Pettijohn ( Frank Pellegrino ), a dangerous loan shark, stockbroker Lucas Colter ( James Colby ) returns home from a morning jog to find that his family is missing. Colter's mother-in-law goes to the Major Case Squad with her suspicions that the family was kidnapped for ransom but Colter makes repeated excuses and denials to detectives Goren and Eames. When the kidnappers begin threatening the lives of his family, and rape his eldest daughter, Maggie ( Stephi Lineburg ), Colter asks his father, Melvin ( Jordan Charney ), for help in paying off the loan shark and the family is returned. The family initially deny that they were kidnapped until Goren gains the trust of Maggie who is suffering from Stockholm syndrome but recalls a distinctive tattoo on her rapist. The detectives track down Pettijohn, who gives up the names of his bagman which leads them to Simon Matic ( Ritchie Coster ), a former Serbian soldier. While being interviewed, Goran goads Matic into revealing his tattoo which matches the sketch provided by Maggie.
