Hours before a man is about to be executed for murder, his daughter takes Barnfather hostage, demanding his execution be stayed because she believes her father to be innocent, or she'll kill Barnfather and then herself. Since the original murder the man was tried and convicted for was Bolander's case, he, Felton, Howard and Munch try to find out if the right man is in prison. As it happens, Lewis investigates a suicide that becomes related to Bolander's case. Meanwhile, Bayliss and Pembleton investigate the death of an elderly woman who drowned in her bathtub, which Pembleton thinks is natural causes but Bayliss thinks may be murder, and Munch hires a new bartender (Creator/JerryStiller) for the Waterfront Bar, only to regret his choice.
