    A nice middle-class Colombian family is having a birthday party in a proper restaurant when -- rat-a-tat-tat -- the pretty mother and the affectionate father are wiped out, leaving their young daughter sobbing.

    Well, the father, though young, handsome, and familial, was not only from Colombia but worked for a travel agency that booked flights back and forth. That suggests drugs, and Serreta and Logan discover that Daddy was, in fact, mixed up in smuggling and had murdered a rival and been killed by the organization in return.

    There is a tense and exciting scene in which the Colombian who executed the hit in the restaurant is captured in the courtyard of a fancy hotel, but the story turns on the ability of the police to link him to the sale of an unusual automatic weapon. In setting up the sting operation, Seretta gets shot twice. In keeping with the usual tempo of the series, the incident isn't lingered over for its sentiment. Serreta never gasps out, "Mikey, I'm going fast, but I want you to know I've always been deeply in love with you." Actually, Seretta recovers but leaves the series. Paul Sorvino only says that he felt his fortunes lay elsewhere, I suppose meaning he wanted to go back to Hollywood. Well -- New York is a tough town.

    Chris Noth and Paul Sorvino catch a heartbreaker of a case. A Colombian national and his wife gunned down in a fancy restaurant with their child looking on. As it turns out the man was heavily involved in the drug trade and was no solid citizen. Still, in front of his child?

    The doer was also heavily involved in that trade and this group believes in leaving no witnesses. He is also a well known contract assassin for the Colombian cartel.

    One truly shocking event happens courtesy of Michael Margolis one strung out druggie who will really frighten you with what you see. Sad for him he did this thing under police surveillance.

    There's not much left for Michael Moriarty and Richard Brooks to prosecute when this is all over.
