A policeman uses forceful ways to solve crimes.

McCall and her boyfriend, Judge Hayworth, are taken hostage by the brother of a man sent to prison by the magistrate.

The only clue in a serial murder case, a trail of police-issued ammunition, leads McCall and Hunter to suspect a colleague.

Hunter and McCall's only lead in an accountant's slaying is his son (Chad Allen), who appears too traumatized to help.

Hunter and Molenski investigate a murder in which the prime suspect is his former partner, an Alzheimer's victim.
