- The motive in the murder of a retired insurance salesman appears to be related to a series of policies he sold to Jews in Poland during the Holocaust.
- Detectives Lennie Briscoe and Ed Green investigate the death of Peter Grimaldi, a retired insurance salesman who was found dead in the backseat of a taxicab. Grimaldi had been helped into the cab by a black man, but the driver has little more information. The medical examiner confirms that the victim died as a result of a 6-inch stab wound and a gunshot wound. Grimaldi's son and daughter have no idea who might have wanted to harm him; they refer the police to Gail Bartlett, one of Grimaldi's friends. It leads to their learning that Grimaldi was having trouble with insurance claimants for policies that he had sold to Jews during the Second World War telling them their money would safe. He never paid out any claims, however. They suspect Grimaldi's former employers may have been responsible for his death.—garykmcd
- When a man is found dead in a cab, Briscoe and Green investigate. They learn the man was a retired insurance salesman who had gone to a bank to get something out of his safety deposit box. Initially the ME says he was stabbed. They locate a young man who's been in trouble with the law and who says he was hired to steal what the man got from the bank: he doesn't know what it was. The detectives then talk to the man's children: the son says it might be the book his father showed him once that listed the insurance policies his father had sold to Jews during the Second World War in Europe. Evidently he thought that the Germans would have taken care of them so that they wouldn't have to pay. But it appears that the relatives of the people to whom he sold the policies are demanding their money. So they assume that the company he worked for was trying to keep him from revealing it. The DA was ready to prosecute the company when the ME reveals that the man, in addition to being stabbed, was shot. The man who stabbed says he didn't have a gun and his accomplice says that before he stabbed him, another person came up to him and probably he was the one who shot him. They learn it 's the man's son. So McCoy decides to prosecute the son for murder and the company for grand larceny. But he needs the son to testify to the existence of the book.—rcs0411@yahoo.com
