Written By Rick Eid and Julie Martin
Directed By Jean De Segonzac
A brutal hate crime against a Muslim family leaves two dead, and things go from bad to worse when the crucial star witness ends up deported back to his home country, leaving Barba to drop the charges and cause public tensions to boil over.
Tropes
- Even Evil Has Standards: In the cold open we see the Muslim family being assaulted and all three perps are participating without reservation until one of them lifts up the younger girl's blouse to show off her bra and suggests raping the victims, at which point one of the three perps starts to protest and has to be fended off at gunpoint by his accomplices.
- Hypocrite: The surviving rape victim's gay uncle makes a negative comment about her skirt being incompatible with Muslim values despite acknowledging that his homosexuality also fails to conform to those values.
