Warning: Spoilers
Christine Baranski guest stars in this two parter where the mob is in the sights of the police and district attorney. Talking about the district attorney, this episode, which debuted in 1991, referred to an (in)famous New York property developer who later became the 45th POTUS and also referred to a former republic of the USSR. Quite prescient and spooky.

Anyway, I like the gritty mean streets feel of the early Law and Order episodes, kind of like Popeye Doyle in The French Connection and also Serpico where crime was to be fought by whatever means possible.

Also shades of Jimmy Hoffa in this episode.
