But three people are dead, his relationship with Tania is in shambles, he's lost the trust of Amedeo and the Minister, and both his and Moscati's careers are in serious jeopardy.]]

* MortonsFork: In one episode, Zen has to deal with the case of a possibly WrongfullyAccused man which has become high profile because of the guy's HeelFaithTurn while in prison. Citing political expediency, both Angelo and the Minister order Zen to find evidence that will show a clear verdict and appear just and above board. Both men also say that if Zen fails, his career will be totally ruined. Problem is, one man orders Zen to prove the prisoner's guilt and the other man demands that Zen prove his innocence. Zen more or less [[TakeAThirdOption Takes A Third Option]].
