* NiceJobBreakingItHero: In "Dead Or Alive," the wealthy father of a young woman who's beaten, raped and murdered offers a reward of a million dollars for the killer's capture. [[spoiler: The greed the reward generates results in three people being in hospital, including the killer (who's shot by a shopkeeper with dollar signs in his eyes while trying to escape from Stone), and the episode ends without their fates known. It also results in a cop on the verge of retirement getting a friend of his involved in a scheme to catch the guy and split the reward, which winds up with the cop being kicked off the force and his friend being shot and killed. And the father may or may not be facing charges of complicity and involvement with murder himself, since it was basically his fault.]]
