Critical View Aug 21, 2008
When a witness in a rape trial is murdered the morning she is to give evidence, detectives Logan (Noth) and Falacci (Alicia Witt) find themselves up against an ambitious and unco-operative assistant DA and a cranky football coach determined to protect his players. The episode unfolds with the requisite twists and turns and races to a satisfying conclusion, even if Noth looks as though he'd rather be somewhere else. (The Age, Australia)

It becomes obvious that someone close to Pacino's character has set him up, and it seems to be either someone at the university (Alicia Witt, Leelee Sobieski, Deborah Kara Unger, Benjamin McKenzie) or his assistant (Amy Brenneman) or maybe that security guard (Brendan Fletcher) who has nothing to do with the story but turns up anyway, as so many Canadian actors do in these cheapo film shoots done in our fair country.
