Complete story — includes the ending
Called to the scene of a hit-and-run fatality, Munch and Mike are hard put to decide if the death was accidental or deliberate. Gharty recognizes the victim's knife and tattoo as marks of military service in Vietnam, and Munch confirms this after a look at the man's service record. The death turns out to be an accident, caused by a teenager joyriding in a stolen car. Munch obtains Gharty's record as well, sparking curiosity about the "other than honorable" discharge he received. Gharty snaps and tells the whole story: he saw American troops massacring Vietnamese civilians and tried to stop them, only to be ordered off the scene. Sheppard is cleared to return to full duty, but becomes angry at Lewis' reluctance to partner with her. Guest starring: Margo Martindale as Verna Henderson
