    Irresistible Force

    One of the cases is the rape of two young girls, both with boyfriends, hog tied and forced to watch. The males come off as cowards for doing nothing or showing little compassion. Mostly, the effort to help John Clark get cleared for drug trafficking gets most of the attention. Andy is trying everything he can. The prime candidate is Laughlin, the nasty, worthless cop, from downstairs. Clark, Sr., is trying to help but there is nothing he can do and he is drunk half the time.
