Three years after Mike Logan punched a homophobic councilman in front of the court building following a hung jury in his murder trial, he is working domestic disturbances on Staten Island. While taking the ferry to work, he notices a harbor patrol boat with it’s lights and sirens on passing by. Calling in, he finds out there is a suspected female jumper in the water. Taking a police boat out to the scene, he lies to a detective from another precinct about where the woman jumped from in order to get jurisdiction so he can investigate.

Unfortunately, his commanding officer Lieutenant Kevin Stopler refuses to let him work the case ordering him to pass it to Detective Frankie Silvera. Logan protests his talents are being wasted on domestic disturbances. The next day, Stopler informs Logan that he is retiring in less than a year and doesn’t want to spend his remaining time arguing with Logan. He is putting Logan with Silvera to work the case. Logan is a Homicide Detective again, albeit for one case.

The detectives canvas Times Square and find a young prostitute who recognizes the victim. She identifies her as “Jazimine” a fellow prostitute she knew casually. She doesn’t know her real name but notes they were arrested together on Valentine’s Day. Finding her mug shot, they learn her name is Suzanne Taylor. Searching her apartment, they find a photo of her in a ballet studio. Visiting it, they find the woman in the photo stretching. She is Georgeanne Taylor, Suzanne’s twin. She confirms her sister’s identity in the morgue and at lunch fills in the detectives on her siblings life. They were both dancers, with Suzanne being the better one, eventually splitting from the twins act they shared. Unfortunately, she began abusing drugs and after being fired from a musical for chronic lateness, she began stripping. Georgeanne remembers her being controlled by a pimp named Kingston.

The duo track Kingston down to a restaurant. Kingston will only give the name of the club Suzanne danced at, The Cat Walk, so Logan gives him an ultimatum: meet him the next night at nine or Logan will have cops stakeout all his best locations and shut his business down. Checking out The Catwalk, one of the strippers explains that Kingston gets girls hooked on drugs, then uses their addictions to get them to work for him as prostitutes. The owner of the club, Gianni Uzielli, knows Silvera from their childhood in Staten Island. He is short tempered, drug addicted and unhelpful. When he brushes Silvera’s hair and asks her to be a dancer, he gets a knee to the groin. He angrily tells them to get a warrant and orders them out.

Logan listens to a tape recording of Uzielli complaining about detectives from Staten Island coming into his club, in the office of his old commanding officer and friend Donald Cragen. He tells Logan he is trying to get Uzielli’s father Giancarlo, the head of his eponymous crime family, convicted for fifteen murders and Logan’s investigation of one is causing problems. Logan is dismissive until Cragen explains the problems go deeper than a mob investigation. Playing more of the tape, Gianni mentions having a cop on the payroll. The mole’s identity is unknown, but the recordings mention he is in the 2-7, Cragen and Logan’s old precinct and the one that the protagonist detectives from ''Law and Order'' work out of.

Logan and Silvera visit the 2-7 where Logan reunites with Lennie Briscoe and Anita Van Buren and meets his replacement Reymundo Curtis. He also reconnects with Tony Profaci and meets his new partner Sammy Kurtz. All of them sans Curtis and Van Buren go to the Keller Hotel, Kingston’s main place of operations, with a warrant. The clerk confirms Suzanne was there Sunday, but can’t confirm Kingston was as well. He directs them to the room Suzanne used. CSU arrives and when they strip the bed, Logan notices the mattress is new which is odd for a rundown hotel. The day maid, who only speaks Spanish, is able to communicate to Logan she removed the blood soaked mattress Monday morning and threw it out back. It’s found tucked behind a dumpster and is completely soaked with blood. CSU can prove Kingston was in the room Suzanne died, but it cannot narrow it down to when.

Logan and Silvera head to a diner for their meeting with Kingston and are surprised to see several NYPD cars with their lights on outside. Inside they find a dead white man in a suit, with a gunshot to the chest and a gun near his body. He was shot by an undercover cop who explains the suspect came in and attacked a patron with a bowling pin, killing him. When the cop drew his weapon, the suspect drew a gun and was taken down with lethal force. Logan and Silvera find the killer’s target lying dead on the floor. It is Kingston.

With the prime suspect dead, killed in a different jurisdiction, Stopler orders the case turned over to Manhattan, ignoring Silvera’s agreement that Kingston may not have been the killer. Logan seeks out Manhattan DA Jack [=McCoy=] and asks him to build a task force between Staten Island and Manhattan. [=McCoy=] is reluctant as the case doesn’t seem big enough to tie up resources. He can only promise to mull it over and get back to Logan.

Stopler angrily tells Logan to leave the case to the 2-7, but the latter persists. Silvera has the identity of Kingston’s killer; Sonny “10 To 2” Russo a made man in the Uzielli family. With her past growing up in the same neighborhood as the Uzielli’s, Silvera arranges a meeting with the leader of the family at his bowling ally; his attorney Jerry Kleinert is also there. The mob boss plays dumb and gives no information. CSU has better news, confirming that his son Gianni’s fingerprints were found in the hotel room Suzanne died in.

The mob boss plays dumb and gives no information. CSU has better news, confirming that his son Gianni’s Gianni's fingerprints were found in the hotel room Suzanne died in.



Logan and Silvera interrogate Gianni with Kleinert. After a few fruitless minutes, Logan allows Gianni to leave, but informs him Suzanne had both syphilis and HIV. He meets Broscoe, Profaci and Kurtz for drinks. Kurtz leaves to take a phone call and Profaci tells Logan on the night of the murder, the pair were working the four p.m. to 1 a.m. shift. Kurtz left at midnight for what Profaci assumes was a liaison on a slow night. Logan notices Kurtz’s fancy suit and is told by Briscoe that he wears custom clothing. Logan then takes Georgeanne a night ride on the Staten Island Ferry, where they share a kiss.

The next morning as Logan gets a coffee, a loud gunshot suddenly hits and kills the vendor. A second shot hits one of the coffee dispensers, nearly striking Logan. A car drives away from the scene. Meeting in secret with Cragan, Logan is told that while the elder Uzielli is smart enough not to order a hit on a cop, his son is not. Logan visits Gianni with Silvera at the mobster’s home and finds his wife screaming at him. Her husband has given her syphilis, a fact Logan taunts him with as he drives away in a huff. Stopler is angry with his detectives, then gets a call from Kleinart, who is looking for Logan. The senior Uzielli wants a meeting at his bowling alley.

At the meeting and with Kleinart next to him, Uzielli indirectly apologizes for the attempt on Logan’s life and assures him nothing like that will happen again. He tells the detectives he only wants what’s best for his son. On a date with Georgeanne, Logan drunkenly brags about how solving her sister’s murder will get him on the front page of ''The New York Times'' and back on duty in Manhattan. A hurt Georgeanne leaves in a taxi, leaving Logan alone in Times Square.

Re-visiting the hotel room where the murder took place, Logan re-hears earlier quotes from Kurtz and Profaci in his head as he tries to deduce the mole’s identity. He runs into Kurtz who claims he was asking a source of his for information on the murder, only to find out the source was locked up. The next morning, Logan visits Profaci at his home. When asked to confirm his story about Kurtz leaving early on the night of the murder, Profaci is evasive and becomes hostile when Logan presses him on Kurtz’s behavior. “The Blue Wall ends at homicide” Logan tells him as he leaves, referencing the attempted hit.

Logan meets with Briscoe and asks for help busting Kurtz. Lennie doesn’t believe Kurtz is dirty until Logan informs him about the mole. Briscoe agrees to help, but only if Logan does it the right way. Van Buren, angry that Cragen kept her in the dark about the mole but informed Logan, defends Kurtz. After she leaves, Cragen informs Logan Internal Affairs is going to start interrogating all of the 2-7 the next day to sweat the mole out. He can delay until 4:30 pm, then it is out of his hands and Logan will lose the case. He also tells Logan a wiretap from the previous night revealed the senior Uzielli has ordered a hit on the night maid at the Keller.

Working overnight, Logan notices something in one of the CSU reports and makes a late night call to the head technician. The next day, he enters the 2-7 and asks to speak to Profaci privately. In an interrogation room, Logan hands his old friend a forensics report that shows Profaci’s fingerprints on a mattress. Profaci fails to see the problem until Logan points out his prints were on the mattress found outside the hotel. As Cragen secretly listens behind the one way glass, Logan informs Profaci that Internal Affairs will be in the 2-7 soon. He claims he hasn’t turned over the report yet. Profacci explains that he frequently ran into the elder Uzielli at a clam restaurant. Eventually he was asked to fix a parking ticket for Gianni for which he received three hundred dollars cash. Soon he found himself working as a fixer every time Gianni messed up. It was nothing major, until he was called to the hotel. Suzanne was already dead, killed because she refused to have an abortion. Profaci claims he covered up the crime because he feared for his life, given what Uzielli did to her, including cutting off her hands. His motive for taking the payoffs was to get his wife pregnant. With in vitro fertilization being expensive and not covered by insurance, they had to use their savings. The first treatment failed, so they needed money for a second session which worked.

Profaci is arrested by Internal Affairs. As Mike leaves the 2-7, Van Buren admits she doesn’t know what to say (a feeling Logan shares). He apologizes to Kurtz, has a silent goodbye with Briscoe and tells Curtis to watch his old partner’s back.

She hopes this means he gets back to Manhattan, but Logan shows no excitement at the prospect. As he wanders Manhattan in a lonely haze, a radio report is heard, with Mayor Giuliani praising the work of the Task Force. This is little consolation for Logan who has solved his murder yet gained nothing.

* BitterSweetEnding: Logan gets to be a homicide detective again and even manages to bring down a mafia family. But he loses a potential romance due his selfishness in taking the case to restore himself to glory. He also exposes a long time friend, who just found out he was going to be a father for the first time, as a mole who will now go to prison. Years later on ''Criminal Intent'' it's revealed he is ''still'' on Staten Island and Van Buren's multiple requests to get him back were denied.

Three years after Mike Logan punched a homophobic councilman in front of the court building following a hung jury in his murder trial, he is working domestic disturbances on Staten Island. While taking the ferry to work, he notices a harbor patrol boat with it’s lights and sirens on passing by. Calling in, he finds out there is a suspected female jumper in the water. Taking a police boat out to the scene, he lies to a detective from another precinct about where the woman jumped from in order to get jurisdiction so he can investigate.

Unfortunately, his commanding officer Lieutenant Kevin Stopler refuses to let him work the case ordering him to pass it to Detective Frankie Silvera. Logan protests his talents are being wasted on domestic disturbances. The next day, Stopler informs Logan that he is retiring in less than a year and doesn’t want to spend his remaining time arguing with Logan. He is putting Logan with Silvera to work the case. Logan is a Homicide Detective again, albeit for one case.

The Staten Island coroner is backed up and out sick, so the body is sent to Manhattan. Logan admits to Silvera they may be spending a lot of time there, admitting his earlier lie about where the body originated from. Medical Examiner Elizabeth Rodgers notes the victim was pregnant and stabbed repeatedly in the abdomen, killing the victim and the baby. She also had several drugs in her system and was suffering from STDs and HIV.

The detectives canvas Times Square and find a young prostitute who recognizes the victim. She identifies her as “Jazimine” a fellow prostitute she knew casually. She doesn’t know her real name but notes they were arrested together on Valentine’s Day. Finding her mug shot, they learn her name is Suzanne Taylor. Searching her apartment, they find a photo of her in a ballet studio. Visiting it, they find the woman in the photo stretching. She is Georgeanne Taylor, Suzanne’s twin. She confirms her sister’s identity in the morgue and at lunch fills in the detectives on her siblings life. They were both dancers, with Suzanne being the better one, eventually splitting from the twins act they shared. Unfortunately, she began abusing drugs and after being fired from a musical for chronic lateness, she began stripping. Georgeanne remembers her being controlled by a pimp named Kingston.

The duo track Kingston down to a restaurant. Kingston will only give the name of the club Suzanne danced at, The Cat Walk, so Logan gives him an ultimatum: meet him the next night at nine or Logan will have cops stakeout all his best locations and shut his business down. Checking out The Catwalk, one of the strippers explains that Kingston gets girls hooked on drugs, then uses their addictions to get them to work for him as prostitutes. The owner of the club, Gianni Uzielli, knows Silvera from their childhood in Staten Island. He is short tempered, drug addicted and unhelpful. When he brushes Silvera’s hair and asks her to be a dancer, he gets a knee to the groin. He angrily tells them to get a warrant and orders them out.

Logan listens to a tape recording of Uzielli complaining about detectives from Staten Island coming into his club, in the office of his old commanding officer and friend Donald Cragen. He tells Logan he is trying to get Uzielli’s father Giancarlo, the head of his eponymous crime family, convicted for fifteen murders and Logan’s investigation of one is causing problems. Logan is dismissive until Cragen explains the problems go deeper than a mob investigation. Playing more of the tape, Gianni mentions having a cop on the payroll. The mole’s identity is unknown, but the recordings mention he is in the 2-7, Cragen and Logan’s old precinct and the one that the protagonist detectives from ''Law and Order'' work out of.

Logan and Silvera visit the 2-7 where Logan reunites with Lennie Briscoe and Anita Van Buren and meets his replacement Reymundo Curtis. He also reconnects with Tony Profaci and meets his new partner Sammy Kurtz. All of them sans Curtis and Van Buren go to the Keller Hotel, Kingston’s main place of operations, with a warrant. The clerk confirms Suzanne was there Sunday, but can’t confirm Kingston was as well. He directs them to the room Suzanne used. CSU arrives and when they strip the bed, Logan notices the mattress is new which is odd for a rundown hotel. The day maid, who only speaks Spanish, is able to communicate to Logan she removed the blood soaked mattress Monday morning and threw it out back. It’s found tucked behind a dumpster and is completely soaked with blood. CSU can prove Kingston was in the room Suzanne died, but it cannot narrow it down to when.

Logan and Silvera head to a diner for their meeting with Kingston and are surprised to see several NYPD cars with their lights on outside. Inside they find a dead white man in a suit, with a gunshot to the chest and a gun near his body. He was shot by an undercover cop who explains the suspect came in and attacked a patron with a bowling pin, killing him. When the cop drew his weapon, the suspect drew a gun and was taken down with lethal force. Logan and Silvera find the killer’s target lying dead on the floor. It is Kingston.

With the prime suspect dead, killed in a different jurisdiction, Stopler orders the case turned over to Manhattan, ignoring Silvera’s agreement that Kingston may not have been the killer. Logan seeks out Manhattan DA Jack [=McCoy=] and asks him to build a task force between Staten Island and Manhattan. [=McCoy=] is reluctant as the case doesn’t seem big enough to tie up resources. He can only promise to mull it over and get back to Logan.

Stopler angrily tells Logan to leave the case to the 2-7, but the latter persists. Silvera has the identity of Kingston’s killer; Sonny “10 To 2” Russo a made man in the Uzielli family. With her past growing up in the same neighborhood as the Uzielli’s, Silvera arranges a meeting with the leader of the family at his bowling ally; his attorney Jerry Kleinert is also there. The mob boss plays dumb and gives no information. CSU has better news, confirming that his son Gianni’s fingerprints were found in the hotel room Suzanne died in.

Gianni is arrested in The Cat Walk. As he is loaded in a squad car, Profaci and Kurtz show up, the latter arguing Logan is messing with an investigation they have on the club; Logan counters he has an investigation of his own.

Logan and Silvera interrogate Gianni with Kleinert. After a few fruitless minutes, Logan allows Gianni to leave, but informs him Suzanne had both syphilis and HIV. He meets Broscoe, Profaci and Kurtz for drinks. Kurtz leaves to take a phone call and Profaci tells Logan on the night of the murder, the pair were working the four p.m. to 1 a.m. shift. Kurtz left at midnight for what Profaci assumes was a liaison on a slow night. Logan notices Kurtz’s fancy suit and is told by Briscoe that he wears custom clothing. Logan then takes Georgeanne a night ride on the Staten Island Ferry, where they share a kiss.

The next morning as Logan gets a coffee, a loud gunshot suddenly hits and kills the vendor. A second shot hits one of the coffee dispensers, nearly striking Logan. A car drives away from the scene. Meeting in secret with Cragan, Logan is told that while the elder Uzielli is smart enough not to order a hit on a cop, his son is not. Logan visits Gianni with Silvera at the mobster’s home and finds his wife screaming at him. Her husband has given her syphilis, a fact Logan taunts him with as he drives away in a huff. Stopler is angry with his detectives, then gets a call from Kleinart, who is looking for Logan. The senior Uzielli wants a meeting at his bowling alley.

At the meeting and with Kleinart next to him, Uzielli indirectly apologizes for the attempt on Logan’s life and assures him nothing like that will happen again. He tells the detectives he only wants what’s best for his son. On a date with Georgeanne, Logan drunkenly brags about how solving her sister’s murder will get him on the front page of ''The New York Times'' and back on duty in Manhattan. A hurt Georgeanne leaves in a taxi, leaving Logan alone in Times Square.

Re-visiting the hotel room where the murder took place, Logan re-hears earlier quotes from Kurtz and Profaci in his head as he tries to deduce the mole’s identity. He runs into Kurtz who claims he was asking a source of his for information on the murder, only to find out the source was locked up. The next morning, Logan visits Profaci at his home. When asked to confirm his story about Kurtz leaving early on the night of the murder, Profaci is evasive and becomes hostile when Logan presses him on Kurtz’s behavior. “The Blue Wall ends at homicide” Logan tells him as he leaves, referencing the attempted hit.

Logan meets with Briscoe and asks for help busting Kurtz. Lennie doesn’t believe Kurtz is dirty until Logan informs him about the mole. Briscoe agrees to help, but only if Logan does it the right way. Van Buren, angry that Cragen kept her in the dark about the mole but informed Logan, defends Kurtz. After she leaves, Cragen informs Logan Internal Affairs is going to start interrogating all of the 2-7 the next day to sweat the mole out. He can delay until 4:30 pm, then it is out of his hands and Logan will lose the case. He also tells Logan a wiretap from the previous night revealed the senior Uzielli has ordered a hit on the night maid at the Keller.

Working overnight, Logan notices something in one of the CSU reports and makes a late night call to the head technician. The next day, he enters the 2-7 and asks to speak to Profaci privately. In an interrogation room, Logan hands his old friend a forensics report that shows Profaci’s fingerprints on a mattress. Profaci fails to see the problem until Logan points out his prints were on the mattress found outside the hotel. As Cragen secretly listens behind the one way glass, Logan informs Profaci that Internal Affairs will be in the 2-7 soon. He claims he hasn’t turned over the report yet. Profacci explains that he frequently ran into the elder Uzielli at a clam restaurant. Eventually he was asked to fix a parking ticket for Gianni for which he received three hundred dollars cash. Soon he found himself working as a fixer every time Gianni messed up. It was nothing major, until he was called to the hotel. Suzanne was already dead, killed because she refused to have an abortion. Profaci claims he covered up the crime because he feared for his life, given what Uzielli did to her, including cutting off her hands. His motive for taking the payoffs was to get his wife pregnant. With in vitro fertilization being expensive and not covered by insurance, they had to use their savings. The first treatment failed, so they needed money for a second session which worked.

Profaci is arrested by Internal Affairs. As Mike leaves the 2-7, Van Buren admits she doesn’t know what to say (a feeling Logan shares). He apologizes to Kurtz, has a silent goodbye with Briscoe and tells Curtis to watch his old partner’s back.

The maid is found safe and Logan goes with Silvera to arrest Gianni. They discover him fleeing in his car; a chase ensues and he gets away. The maid identifies Gianni as the killer in a photo array and Logan informs Kleinert they have a witness who will identify his client as the killer. The detectives are invited to the Uzielli estate where the Don turns his son over to the detectives and an entire squadron of cops.

Angered, he pulls a gun and murders his father before submitting to arrest. Logan visits Georgeanne and informs her they have caught her sister’s killer. She hopes this means he gets back to Manhattan, but Logan shows no excitement at the prospect. As he wanders Manhattan in a lonely haze, a radio report is heard, with Mayor Giuliani praising the work of the Task Force. This is little consolation for Logan who has solved his murder yet gained nothing.
