Great acting!

The two actors who plays the detective partners are simply great! I could litterally watch a whole series with those to at lead. Very entertaining, yet a tragic story.

Watching him speak about his bestfriend and partner being killed was rough. Second hardest episode to watch. You can see the pain his eyes.

A tragic story.

To me this was the best episode in the series so far. I think what distinguished it so clearly was the emotional investment from the narrator. A true tragedy.

The only thing I missed was some sort of explanation as to why Monique acted the way she did. Why didn't she say anything? What made her lie? Perhaps this was never cleared up in the real either...

Unwatchable episode

I watched about half of this but could not continue. The narrator seems almost proud of his irritating behaviour which includes bragging about his bad cop routine and scenes where he enjoys humiliating a less experienced uniformed colleague. I watched this and it just came across as a vanity project by an immature ex officer.

The case has a few holes: a convicted felon is in the area but the officer who sent him to prison is not aware of his whereabouts? Turns out he's involved with a woman who is renting (?) a house from his father. Only evidence of his presence is an oversized pair of jeans. No fingerprints or other routine forensics immediately and routinely taken when it seems altogether plausible that the brother of the woman - who is pregnant - was murdered by a bullet to the eye that somehow looks at first to all involved like a severe beating. The murderer doesn't bother to any great extent to cover up the evidence of blood on the floor. It is established to everyone's satisfaction that the felon is the father of the woman's baby and that he murdered her brother- for borrowing his car without permission. Not a very smart felon.

OK. Meanwhile, one partner in a police team decides he will get the forensics - by himself - but leaves a note to his partner and asks for backup. His partner, whose mother just died and is taken off the case, doesn't find the note until after he is called at his office and informed that his partner was murdered while casing the joint. During this time the woman is released after questioning and followed to an apartment where the felon, a real dumb guy, now resides. It is assumed now that the felon killed the woman's brother and the officer's partner. There is a shootout when an attempt at arrest is made, and guess who is killed? Right. Case closed. It should be mentioned that the pregnant woman is strangely silent throughout, even after her boyfriend, father of her child, is killed.
