Complete story — includes the ending

As the sniper attacks resume, the exhausted detectives return to work – including Russert, whom Giardello calls in despite Barnfather's order that she stay out of the case. Pembleton believes that the new shooter (who eventually racks up five kills) is connected to the first, while Russert believes him to be a copycat killer. After an overly helpful witness attracts the detectives' attention, Russert draws on recent experience to extract a confession from him. At a coffeeshop, Bayliss expresses his belief that Russert was demoted because she was trying to help the detectives on the ground over their self-serving higher-ups.
