Complete story — includes the ending
The brutal beating murder of Secret Service agent Paula Kendall ( Georgia Hatzis ) in her home, has Detectives Logan and Barek perplexed until they realize that her husband Jay Kendall's ( David Alan Basche ) lucrative activities as a lobbyist may be the motive. They discover he is considered a wasi'chu by an American Indian community trying to develop a gaming casino on Long Island while he was also working for opponents of the proposal. The detectives find that Kendall also hid his wife's laptop and shredded files detailing his business activities soon after discovering her body, including his work for a corrupt congressman, Peter Bellingham ( Bruce McGill ). They eventually uncover that Bellingham had ex-cop Ted Bruno ( James Biberi ) search the Kendall home for information on his illegal activities after he discovered that Paula was a Secret Service agent, but Bruno killed her when she unexpectedly arrived home early.
