Plot summary

Detectives Goren and Eames investigate the killing of Boz Burnham ( Jack Gwaltney ) on his birthday. He had become famous for dodging a conviction for the murder of his first wife 10 years earlier because of a mishandled trial and had used his notoriety to produce a TV show. Eames had worked the original case with Kevin Mulrooney ( Raúl Esparza ) who is now an ADA but Mulrooney blames Eames for the failed conviction which ruined his career. Evidence in Burnham's murderer points to a red-headed woman however Goren's research into the old murder case suggests that Mulrooney planted evidence although he blames Eames for the failure of the case. Goren eventually accuses Mulrooney of Burnham's murder and gives his handcuffs to Eames to arrest him. Also stars John Rue as Mulrooney's father Harry.
