Complete story — includes the ending
Following the events of "In the Belly of the Beast", Beckett carries out an off-the-books investigation attempting to connect drug baron Vulcan Simmons to presidential candidate William Bracken. She becomes a fugitive when the man she believes can lead her to Bracken is murdered. This forces the elusive Mr. Smith to come out of hiding and reveal a key piece of evidence that could get Bracken brought to justice, if Beckett can find it first before her pursuers find her. When Beckett is caught, she finally finds evidence to arrest Bracken. The evidence is a tape recording Roy Montgomery had left for Beckett's mother, where Bracken confesses to various crimes including planning Johanna Beckett's murder. With the new evidence, Beckett is cleared and she is finally able to close her mother's murder case, arresting Bracken on live TV as he announces his plans to run for president.
