Town Without Pity

Nick Constantine (Michael Nouri), an ex-con whom Frank arrested years ago, served 20 years in jail and since has turned his life around, aids Frank is helping to curb a young ex-criminal's dark future. Several hours later, a mobster is shot at the diner he owns, and the evidence points towards Constantine as the killer. Arrested by Danny, he says that he did not kill the man, but Frank gets the feeling that he is hiding something. When his son Starvos comes in and admits to the crime, they use this as leverage to get Nick to confess to the whole thing himself. Erin attempts to prosecute Jeremy Durning, a doctor who went on the run after being accused of killing his wife Beth. Her efforts are hindered by attorney Kathy Elliot, who hides his location in order to exclusively reveal his story on her podcast. Learning that Durning intimidated a witness, Erin and Anthony follow the egotistic lawyer to a remote location and manage to nab the doctor. Elliot coughs up a piece of evidence making it seem like Beth is alive, but this is later disproved and she is forced to cooperate for the sake of her career. Jamie and Eddie come across a dead man, Harry Clark, in a foul-smelling apartment with loads of cash and newspaper clippings of a bank robbery years ago scattered around. The two begin to believe that Harry was one of the robbers in the heist, their hypothesis being confirmed when they meet Sandi Harper (the wife of a late bank guard who was in on the heist). Harry had been sending her money from the robbery in order to pay her back and also keep her grandson in school, but without the funding she faces the risk of being unable to do this anymore. Jamie is conflicted over whether to give the money back to the public or to the needy Sandi, but after a talk with Henry decides to let her and her grandson take it for themselves.
