Written By: Bill Taub Directed By: James Head Originally aired on WGN: 1/17/99 Music in this episode from: Remy Zero and Alysian Fields Story Line Strange tales have been coming out of Port Columbia's criminal underbelly and Lieut. Morgan Fine (Tim Kelleher), from Police Internal Affairs, is sent in to investigate. He is suspicious of Albrecht's secretive work habits, mysterious sources, and sudden rise in arrest success rates, so he leans on Jessica to determine if her partner is a dirty cop. The Blackout is running smoothly with Shea (Gaetana Korbin) as the new manager but when her mobster husband turns up, having bought the place, it is obvious that Frank Moran (Kavan Smith) is determined to get his wife back, by force if necessary. Draven turns to Albrecht for background on Moran and when he learns that the man is corrupt and ruthless with judges and cops on his payroll, he realizes the only way to protect Shea is to put Moran behind bars. He infiltrates the mobster's operation but in doing so exposes himself to the police investigation that has Albrecht under surveillance. A Port Columbia Councilman, Doug Fairburn (Dion Luther), was once on Moran's payroll but isn't willing to be bought any more. Draven brokers a meeting between the two at an abandoned warehouse, where Albrecht is supposed to be waiting to arrest Moran. Things go wrong when Albrecht is detained by Internal Affairs and Moran tries to kill Shea. Draven turns into the Crow to rescue her but the police are closing in. When Jessica proves that Albrecht's mysterious source is really Eric Draven, who was supposedly killed over a year ago, Albrecht is forced to hand over his badge. He is also faced with a brutal reality; Draven is going to be arrested and won't go down without a fight. To avoid tragedy, he should be the one to put the cuffs on his friend. Personal Thoughts |
