The normally unflappable Lennie Briscoe gets good and rattled in this episode where he and his partner arrest Guillermo Diaz for a pair of murders. The first
is another drug dealer and the second some poor woman who just got in his
path after he was fleeing the first.
Jerry Orbach is usually pretty good under pressure, but this one gets to him. Diaz whispers a confession to him that only he hears. Even Jesse Martin is out of earshot. The brazeness just makes Orbach lose his cool.
Diaz is great in a chilling portrayal of evil. Also good is Lauren Velez as Diaz's attorney.
This episode belongs to Jerry Orbach for a different kind of Lennie Briscoe.
