A very powerful performance by Zeljko Ivanek highlights this unique and tense episode of Law and Order. Skillfully directed by Constantine Makris, this is one of the outstanding entries in the "Ben Stone" era of the show. Michael Moriarty is superb as prosecutor Ben Stone, New York ADA, and it's a shame the actor didn't stay with the program a bit longer and develop his character more deeply. His ethics and moral struggles, frustration and outrage, are in sharp contrast with ADA Jack McCoy, Sam Waterston, and are fascinating to explore. Jill Hennessy is also excellent and Stephen Hill is a wonder as Adam Schiff, the anchor of the District Attorney's office. Jerry Orbach, sorely missed and often remembered fondly, and Chris Noth both give wonderful performances and their chemistry is extraordinary. This particular episode, however, belongs to Zeljko Ivanek and his work here is simply some of his best.
