Sure enough, Stone discovers that the victims were stealing prescription drugs and then having a dealer, Marty Lake, sell them on. Lake's now awaiting trial on narcotics charges. He says that another man killed the nurses so he could steal the drugs and take over their "business." Lake offered this information in exchange for a plea, but Torelli ignored him. Brooklyn DA Frank Lazar (Creator/MarkBlum) insists on pursuing the case against Zifrin, who Torelli denies framing. Lake won't name the killer unless offered a deal, but Lazar refuses.

* DealWithTheDevil: To find the real killer, Stone has to agree a plea to drop all charges against Lake, who is a violent drug dealer. Then, in order to exonerate Zifrin, he must get Paul to accept a plea for 25 years for the murders - when Paul is already looking at a life sentence ''just'' for drug offences.

Stone convinces a friend in the Brooklyn DA's office to give Lake a plea. Lake identifies the killer as Jimmy Paul, and Paul is arrested. With Stone's friend offering him jurisdiction over the Brooklyn murder, Paul accepts a 25-year sentence for both murders rather than face life for all of his numerous drug-related felonies. Zifrin admits he falsely confessed to the murders at Torelli's encouragement. Zifrin wants to be seen as smart and capable, and is in denial that he is disabled; Torelli convinced him that everyone would appreciate his intelligence if they thought he were the killer. Zifrin will now face an appeals process, and Torelli is arrested by Internal Affairs. Ending text reveals that Lazar swiftly resigned as DA and returned to private practice.
