Ancient NY History
3 February 2011 | by (United States) – See all my reviews

A man is accidentally shot and killed on a commuter train and the team tries to piece together what happened and why.

The story behind it all, we discover, goes back to a near-extinct Indian tribe which used to own considerable property in New York City and one man's attempt to keep his heritage alive. The attempt does not go well.

In all, it's okay but nothing special, episode-wise, no real suspense. The case is kind of blah, although we do learn of a unique way on how to kill a human or an animal. That part is very interesting.

As it progresses, we get the usual suspects who act obnoxious, but are not guilty.
