Robert Riley ( Kenneth Mitchell ), an inmate convicted of murdering his lover, violently escapes from a prison transport van and becomes a dangerous fugitive on the run in Philadelphia. He holds a list with names on it, including DA Russell, Megan, and two others. Soon another man turns up dead, and is revealed to be a witness who testified against Riley at trial. Megan must dig deeper into the original case (in which she herself presented evidence that incriminated Riley), when Riley corners her and insists that he is innocent and being framed. Suspicion begins to fall on Emmett Harrington ( Alan Dale ), a well-to-do area businessman who was married to the original murder victim, when evidence surfaces that two witnesses in the Riley trial received six-figure sums from Harrington's Cayman Islands account. When Megan gets the body of Harrington's former spouse exhumed, Kate finds something that Megan missed during the original autopsy. Victims: Caroline Harrington Marcus Webb Murderers: Stacey Harrington
