Renko (sturdy Charles Haid) and Hill (solid Michael Warren) save escaped mass murderer Albert "The Creeper" Sawyer (a creepy and intense portrayal by Paul McCrane) from an angry mob. Various people argue over the reward money for Sawyer's capture while Davenport reluctantly takes on the assignment of being Sawyer's defense attorney.
This episode gets off to a tense and exciting start with a bunch of neighborhood folks recognizing Sawyer and subsequently chasing him down until he's cornered in an alley. Of course, the ever opportunistic Chief Daniels (a deliciously slimy Jon Cypher) tries to exploit the situation to his advantage. Moreover, there's a poignant subplot involving unemployed Vietnam veteran Sanchez (a touching performance by Eloy Casados) who helped nab Sawyer and applies to be a cop, but alas this doesn't work out because he did a few years in prison. Fortunately, things do work out for Sanchez in the long run when he's acknowledged by a girl in a bar as a hero. Elizabeth Pena contributes a strong turn as rattled fence Alice. This episodes concludes on a lovely note with Robin (sweet Lisa Sutton) giving birth to Belker's (a fine Bruce Weitz) son.
