Complete story — includes the ending
Bayliss becomes the primary in the case of an abused young girl whose body was dumped along I-95. His bad experience with child victims affects his mind so severely that Pembleton has trouble keeping him under control long enough to close the case, and he is distraught when Pembleton helps the girl's mother avoid full responsibility for her child's death. Afterward, Bayliss reveals to Pembleton the reason he has trouble with these cases - his uncle sexually molested him as a child, and his father did nothing to protect him - and says that he no longer wants to partner with Pembleton. Brodie finally finds a roommate, and Kellerman testifies before the grand jury; although he is cleared of the corruption allegations, he believes that the other detectives will always regard him as dirty.
