In court, [=McCoy=] forces Tashjian to admit to the murder and that Russo had others killed too. Russo accounts for the deaths of Shelley; Mrs. Tashjian; and the the three other victims. He won't say anything about his "investors" (all of whom are powerful mobsters) and is sentenced to life without parole. [=McCoy=] says that he doesn't regret making the deal with Tashjian, and points out that Tashjian still owes Beechwood half a million dollars. Ending titles state that Tashjian was murdered shortly after the trial, and his share of the co-op was used to settle his debts.

Since Flores was in jail when Mrs. Tashjian died, Russo is clearly using other customers as killers.

Tashjian denies this, and wants a deal for immunity in exchange for his testimony against Russo. Ross is disgusted at the idea of letting a murderer go free, but [=McCoy=] points out Russo is more dangerous. They can't make a case against Tashjian, so it's Russo or nothing.

Shelley Ganz, the treasurer of an exclusive housing co-op, is murdered in the building's parking lot. The initial suspect is Steven Tashjian, who owes a lot of money in business loans. He'd asked to use his apartment as collateral, and if Shelley refused, he'd have to repay all the loans in full. Briscoe and Curtis figure out that Shelley was killed by mistake; the intended target was Tashjian's wife. The detectives arrest Enrique Flores, who was seen following her just before Shelley's death. But soon afterwards, Mrs. Tashjian is murdered too.
Both Tashjian and Flores owe money to Beechwood Loans, which holds life insurance policies on all customers including the Tashjians. Not only that, but Beechwood's owner Sam "Bunny" Russo is a loan shark with a history of violence. Three other people who defaulted on their loans with Beechwood have died in unsolved homicides, and one victim had recorded that Flores' car was following him. When Flores is told he'll be charged with ''two'' murders, he has a heart attack. At the hospital, he confesses in front of Curtis to killing two people. But the defence gets this excluded under doctor-patient privilege.
