Complete story — includes the ending

Brodie takes advantage of an unexpectedly quiet New Year's Eve to present the detectives with a documentary he has made on the inner workings of the homicide unit. The film reveals facts that everyone would prefer to keep private, including a case in which the killer has some bizarre personal habits, and captures a foot chase that runs right through a film shoot headed by director Barry Levinson. The identity of last season's "Lunch Bandit" is exposed - none other than Gaffney - and Cox and Kellerman decide to try to start a relationship. Brodie shocks the detectives with news that he has sold the documentary to PBS as the clock strikes midnight and the phones begin to ring. Guest stars: Melvin Van Peebles as Bennett Jackson, Barry Levinson as himself
