Complete story — includes the ending

Judge Gibbons is stabbed to death outside the courthouse, and Pembleton and Bayliss quickly establish that the killer is Junior Bunk. When they bring him in, though, they are surprised to find that he has developed a tough new attitude and is not about to give up Georgia Rae. Falsone and Stivers investigate the drive-by shooting death of a parole officer and find two parties involved: an ex-con he was hassling, and Aloyisus "Pony" Johnson, a double murderer who had been sent to prison five years earlier. (See " A Dog and Pony Show ", season 1.) With everyone in the squadroom briefly distracted, Junior Bunk grabs a gun from a desk and opens fire, wounding Ballard and Gharty and killing three uniformed officers before the detectives kill him in turn. Gee mobilizes the entire department to bring down Georgia Rae. Guest starring: Mekhi Phifer as Junior Bunk
