The storyโs subplot involves the murder of a black prostitute at a Sunset Boulevard motel. ย This is followed by a raid on an East L.A. apartment where the suspect, Juan Comacho manages to elude the police. ย Later, Comacho is arrested in a Spanish Harlem bar and extradited back to California by NYPD Det. Brad Shaner. ย It is here that the two plots intersect. ย Offering a fresh look, a new perspective on the Laszlo murder, Shaner joins Mallory in reviewing the case file. ย Viewing autopsy photos, Shaner recognizes Laszlo from a sexual assault arrest made in New York, almost twenty-eight years before. ย At that time he was known as Paul Barac. ย As the climax approaches, Mark, Laszloโs stepson is interrogated. ย In a tearful confession (told in flashback) the sixteen-year-old boy relates a year of sexual molestation by Laszlo, ending in Markโs desperate attempt to end it all...by killing his stepfather.
