A criminal well known to detectives Briscoe (Jerry Orbach) and Green (Jesse L. Martin) may have been responsible for the murder of a businessman. Unfortunately, the investigation is impeded by the FBI, who insist upon shielding the prime suspect. Without giving away the outcome, it can be noted that one of the guest actors plays a dual role. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

In this 90-minute conclusion of a two-part story, a homeless mute, who has been accused of a child's murder by the victim's father, has killed himself. Sipowicz (Dennis Franz) and Diane (Kim Delaney), convinced that the dead man was framed by the child's father (Brian Markinson), whom they believe to be the actual culprit, try to get to the truth by working on the mother (Annie Corley). As this sordid storyline works itself out, the squad investigates a possible case of health-benefit fraud involving a "good samaritan" doctor. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

African-American mime artist Charles Lane directed and starred in this ultra-low-budget film. Lane plays a Chaplinesque homeless individual with a talent for sidewalk chalk art, who finds himself caring for an abandoned baby. The child's father has been killed in a robbery, so Lane begins a long, lonely search for the kid's next of kin. What little dialogue there is comes from the mouths of the multitude of oddball characters with whom Lane comes in contact while he roams the streets of New York. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
