Best L & O Criminal Intent without Goren and Eames. Strong performances from everyone. Powerful, very sobering ending. Chris Noth plays Logan's struggle with his own rage truer than I've seen in any other episode. Julianne Nicholson's professional, tough girl cop demeanor crumbling under the harangue against her by pretty Aunjanue Ellis's Carmen Rivera is completely believable; and it mirrors this episode's powerful story about the very thin, but palpable wall between the police and the black community, which is powerfully played out by the pivotal undercover cop, Sticky Fingaz's Harry Williams, and the brilliantly sadistic murder suspect, Bokeem Woodbine's Gordon Thomas. They are the muscle and guts of this episode - warriors on either side of a wall that cannot be breached by anyone.
