Complete story — includes the ending

Hunky posterboy with a million-dollar torso, Hamp Trotter ( Ryan Locke ), spends a night with an unknown woman and is found dead the next morning after being heavily drugged and then suffocated to death. Suspects include his jealous ex-wife, Amy Townsend ( Sabine Singh ) but at a memorial for Hamp and demonstration against a proposed redevelopment by wealthy property developer, Duke DeGuerin ( Roger Rees ), the mystery woman is identified as Gallina "Galla" Ilyanova Ritcher ( Jennifer Missoni ). Goren and Eames interview Galla's former pimp Jamie Witzger ( James Joseph O'Neil ) in prison who reveals that she was paid to seduce and drug Hamp to discredit him. Eames interviews DeGuerin's much younger and beautiful wife Avia DeGuerin ( Sarah Desage ) in a sauna about her affair with Hamp but she refused to talk out of fear of her husband. Later, Galla is found strangled to death in Hamp's sealed apartment. When the detectives question Stanislav Bardem ( Nestor Serrano ), DeGuerin' head of security, he names his boss as the likely culprit because of his jealous and violent nature. The detectives bring DeGuerin in for questioning and he almost admits his guilt in both murders, however then his wife Avia then offers to give evidence against him.
