Sgt. K-Joe (Frank Converse) and Bunny (Fred Williamson) investigate a horrible case. It seems a psychopath shot into a car on the freeway and destroyed a child as well as her mother in the process. The child is left all but brain dead and the mother loses her mind following the senseless tragedy. The two detectives are naturally intent on capturing the person responsible. Soon they figure out a guy named Lewis (James Woods) is the shooter but they just can't get enough evidence to take the case to court. But he admitted doing it and, as a juvenile, shot two other people!! Clearly he is a menace but the police seem helpless and very frustrated in dealing with him.
I appreciate this episode because it shows the effects the case has on the cops...particularly K-Joe. Well worth seeing...and man, does Woods play a scary and loathsome character.
