While looking for a tossed weapon in the Hudson on another case that Jerry Orbach and Benjamin Bratt caught a Volkswagen bus is found in the river with a skeleton that had a bullet hole in the skull. Autopsy and forensics put this case back to 1968 and the height of student protests.

It took a lot of investigation but it turns out the deceased was an undercover cop at L&O's Hudson University to keep an eye on all the radical students.

Sam Waterston sees this as a grand opportunity to investigate all the activities of the NYPD back in the day. Steven Hill and Angie Harmon just want to see a murderer face justice.

As for the perpetrator it's Michael Higgins. More I won't say, but he is a pitiable figure and no matter what your politics that is what you will feel. It's an outstanding performance.
