Explicații IMDb: After a policeman is shot to death, Jamie and Tara arrive at the hospital where the suspect is being treated, and are shocked to find the police torturing him for information. But the real shock is when they discover no one seems to have the authority or the willingness to put a stop to it.
Explicații TMDb: When the police torture a man they believe shot one of their own, Eugene, barely able to contain his emotion, takes the lead in seeking justice.
Explicații Wikipedia: Flagrant police misconduct responding and acting when a patrol officer is shot in his vehicle infuriates the firm and especially Eugene. Police chased one of two young men who came out of the bar just before the shooting, shoot him, discover he's unarmed, then rush him to the hospital and torture him without allowing him to talk to any lawyer---not even Jamie, Ellenor, or Jimmy. The officer dies during surgery and his colleagues torture a statement out of the wounded suspect that fingers his friend---but the suspect was drugged during the statement, and it begins to appear the two young men only saw the shooting without seeing a shooter. Ellenor can't convince the FBI to step into the case. Alan awakens a judge in the dead of night but can't convince her to sign a habeas---with good if compromising reason. A.D.A. Walsh---already known for lack of ethics and disregard for certain rights when handling prosecutions---seems to abet or orchestrate a coverup of the police's actions in the case, driving the firm but Eugene especially to deliver justice.
