Complete story — includes the ending
Munch and Lewis are called to the scene of a Buddhist monk beaten to death in his own temple. Gee puts Bayliss on the case, prompting Munch to pull out of it in frustration, and the detectives learn of tensions among the temple monks and the victim's own unwholesome secrets. The case leads Bayliss to a homeless man, who admits to the killing and then shoots at him; Bayliss kills the man in self-defense, shattering his Buddhist beliefs. Gharty and Ballard take a sidewalk shooting with three eyewitnesses, but the case slowly falls apart as the identifications prove unreliable. Falsone and Ballard end their secret relationship.
