Plot
In this episode, Detectives Logan and Wheeler reinvestigate a cold case when a Catholic priest, Father Shea, who was friends with Logan's former partner Lennie Briscoe, comes to Logan for help; he says that a dead man to whom he gave last rites confessed to having murdered three people 16 years earlier in the South Bronx.
Meanwhile, Wheeler and her fiance attend a fundraiser, and a photographer secretly begins photographing them. Soon back on the case, Logan and Wheeler research Randy Nichols, who was convicted of the murder of a rich CFO and his pregnant wife. The detectives discover that Logan's nemesis, ADA Terri Driver, is involved. Later, when the priest becomes a victim of a near fatal stabbing at the penitentiary where he was working, he is put in critical condition and is not expected to live, at which time the case becomes personal to Logan, who is convinced Driver ordered the hit.

“Trade and the streets ensnare us,
Our bodies are weak and worn;
We plot and corrupt each other,
And we despoil the unborn.”

why are they no help to me now
I want to make
something imagined, not recalled?”
