- DirectorFred GerberStarsGeorge DzundzaChris NothDann FlorekGreevey and Logan discover that an apparent mugging victim found unconscious on a park bench has had his kidney removed. The case leads to a powerful man whose daughter desperately needed a transplant and the doctor who may have helped him.
- DirectorJace AlexanderStarsJerry OrbachBenjamin BrattS. Epatha MerkersonA white teenager accused of murdering an African-American man claims that she was a date-rape victim, and racial overtones threaten to overpower the actual merits of the case.As a young black man this story struck ALL the right racial notes and nuance. L&O usually gets race relations right (most TV shows don’t) and this episode is a prime example.
- DirectorConstantine MakrisStarsJerry OrbachBenjamin BrattS. Epatha MerkersonA man opens fire during the docking of a dinner cruise boat. The Governor appoints a special prosecutor because Schiff refuses to seek the death penalty; McCoy helps Schiff appeal while Ross helps the special prosecutor at trial. Schiff's wife is hospitalized following a stroke.STEVEN HILL (Adam Schiff) gives an outstanding performance, especially at the very end, in this episode. Excellent story as well.
- DirectorJames QuinnStarsJerry OrbachChris NothS. Epatha MerkersonThe investigation into the killing of the CFO of a baby food company leads Briscoe and Logan directly to the Russian mob and its head, who now goes by the name Steven Green. When they arrest the shooter, ADA Stone isn't above manipulating his situation to get him to testify against Green. However, since no one can be found guilty solely on the testimony of an accomplice to the same crime, he desperately needs another witness. Ann Madsen had business dealings with Green and can testify to having seen the shooter in Green's office the day of the shooting. When it come to actually testifying however she changes her story, obviously in fear of her life. Stone makes it quite clear she will go to jail if she doesn't tell the truth but it leads to tragedy and forces Stone to make a major decision about his future.An exceptionally well written episode with a great performance by MICHAEL MORIORTY and standout performance by ALLISON JANEY in one of her first big roles.
- DirectorArthur W. ForneyStarsJerry OrbachChris NothDann FlorekA female Naval officer is killed during a drunken party. The Navy claims jurisdiction in the case, but detectives soon suspect that the guilty party is being protected and the wrong man is being railroaded.Really great episode that is intriguing from the very first start of the case on the police side until the very end of the case on the prosecution side.
- DirectorVern GillumStarsPaul SorvinoChris NothDann FlorekTwo washed-up, handcuffed corpses are identified as Mexican immigrants, and the investigation reveals that they may have been working as slave labor in a sweatshop.This episode takes tragic and sleazy to a whole new level. The antagonist takes his villainy right to the edge of mustache twirling though. LOL
