Episode 3 and there are 3 future Oscar nominees in the cast.

Patricia Clarkson, Angela Bassett and William H Macy all appear.

Clarkson plays Elizabeth Haller a young sociopath along with her boyfriend Chip Holmby. Both of them are military kids and get their kicks from shooting dead down and outs in Boston.

Spenser is targeted after becoming a celebrity when he apprehends a child molester. The couple gun down boxing trainer Joe Adams right in front of him.

An act that puts Hawk on a rampage. Joe was like a father figure to Hawk, and Hawk had an argument with Joe just before he was shot.

There is a psychological edge to this story. Other shows would track the killers and have the goods on them.

Haller and Holmby have a touch of Leopold and Loeb about them. Also they are smart and use their connections to ensure that he legal system cannot touch them.

Spenser realises that they need help and even make the adjustments in their lives. Eventually it is left to Hawk to bring justice. This is the first time where Hawk acts like a guardian angel.
