Martin from "Ally McBeal") try to trace the origination of the illegal automatic gun. As they close in on the suspect (guest star Neal Huff), Briscoe voices doubts about Green's questionable modus operandi both on and off the job. When the case arrives on D.A.

More probing reveals that one of the little girls might be to blame, making it a tough case for McCoy (Sam Waterston), who fears that unless the 10-year-old child is proven to be responsible for her increasingly violent acts and isolated, other children will suffer.

While the suffering victim lingers near death and asks to be allowed to die without any more medical assistance, she steadfastly maintains her husband's innocence and threatens to testify on his behalf, which would ruin D.A.
