Plot Overview

Ryker takes an interest in a young girl who was arrested for soliciting, as she reminds him of the daughter he gave up for adoption, and also notices that her boyfriend is a pimp that he's arrested a few times in the past. The boyfriend, who's gotten in over his head with a master criminal, is being forced to aid in the jailbreak of a pusher, and he persuades the girl to trick Ryker into getting the pusher a medical release from prison, upon which he's shot and killed. The girl's boyfriend also winds up being killed as well, and she's a witness to the second murder. It's up to Terry and Chris to convince a depressed Ryker, who's considering leaving the force as a result of the incident, to rethink the situation and help save the girl from the killers.
