Detectives Goren and Eames encounter a gang of high-class, low-lifes led by Bernard, a slimy European with a taste for aging blondes and fine wine, who befriends, kills and robs tourists. Goren, however, is shocked to discover that the master murderer shares a connection to a deadly nemesis. The detectives try to out-maneuver the effete but effective Bernard -- and his posse of adoring women who kill for him -- until Goren's language skills help him zero in on a crime spree that spans the globe.

Complete story — includes the ending

An out of town couple, Russ ( John Bolger ) and Monica ( Mariann Mayberry ) Corbett, are found semi-naked in a chaep hotel room overdosed with heroin while their high class rented accommodation has been stripped bare. Detectives Goren and Eames discover that this is the modus operandi of a gang of criminals led by the charming Bernard Fremont (Thierry Gervais) ( Michael York ), an Englishman born in Thailand. Fremont finds his marks by hosting lavish parties co-hosted by his three attractive blonde adoring cohorts. Goren is shocked to discover that Fremont was convicted in Thailand for befriending, robbing and killing tourists, and that his associate at the time was Goren's nemesis, Nicole Wallace ( Olivia d'Abo ). It is only by undermining Fremont's hubris and convincing him that his women had turned against him, that Goren manages to provoke Fremont into confessing his guilt. However, when Fremont and his women are freed on million dollar bails, he is murdered by a poisonous hypodermic needle as he departs, leaven Goren to assume that Wallace is still active.
