[edit] Plot
Paranoia reigns supreme when a young mother is killed in the park, and the evidence points to a disturbed young artist named Peter Harrison, who is convinced that the government is out to get him. The police soon manage to arrest him, but the evidence is thrown out because of a careless mistake by junior CSU Dale Stuckey, and the SVU's only hope is to follow Harrison and hope that he leads them to new evidence. But just as it seems that they've got Harrison dead to rights, the case takes a strange and tragic twist when another psychopath starts attacking the SVU from within.
