One of the early episodes of Law and Order dealt with the problem of sweatshop labor and three homicides that arose in this particular situation. It's a particular favorite of mine.
Two missing Hispanic teens and a Department of Labor Investigator all turn up dead with similar circumstances. Paul Sorvino and Chris Noth catch the case and it leads to a sweatshop involving Mexican immigrants, infidelity, and a chillingly evil man who is living off the misery of his own people.
This loathsome individual is played by Jose Zuniga and he will creep you out. The problem that ADAs Michael Moriarty and Richard Brooks have is that everyone is scared stiff of this man. In the end of the episode we find out they have good reason to be.
Also very good in this episode is Patti D'Arbanville-Quinn who is the co-owner of the sweatshop with her husband who has her own agenda working.
This one's not to be missed when broadcast.
