Flags of Our Fathers

Danny is informed by Erin that the D.A.'s office is looking at his ex-partner—Detective Reed—on a case the latter might have fixed, and if he is revealed to be involved, serious implications will follow. Reed reveals that he did fake evidence, but kept quiet to protect Danny. This turn of events results in the convict, a murderer named Marcus Donovan, being let free, and after a deal trap fails, Danny has 48 hours to find evidence linking Donovan to the murder. He eventually locates a contempt witness who comes around, but, correctly suspecting that Reed scared him into talking, Danny consciously decides to not turn the proof in. While answering questions at a school, Jamie encounters a wayward girl named Lily, who believes that all cops are murderers because her father was killed by one. Since Lily did not know her father was a drug dealer that died exchanging fire with cops, he decides to tell her, but this revelations only causes her to run away. After he and Eddie locate her, they have her meet with the officer that killed her father, offering a place that can get her some help. Elsewhere, Frank is concerned with a group of anti-war activists who plan on burning an American flag at a veterans' memorial (yet have the right to do so). Their protest turns violent, and the leader David Gore untruthfully says the NYPD let them be attacked. With another protest looming, Frank organizes an operation to protect them headed by Gormley, but he personally refuses, as he is a veteran himself.
