Absolution
Bull helps exonerate Derrick Graham (Adam David Thompson), who has spent the last nine years in prison for murdering a woman he met in a bar while celebrating a promotion with his work friends. The case is personal, as Bull worked on Graham's defense back then and always believed him to be innocent. Bull gets the TAC team to help, though they are quick to point out areas where Cable would be a big help. Meanwhile, Chunk continues to try to get his estranged daughter to talk to him.
- Evil Former Friend: Josh, Derrick's friend and work colleague, committed the murder and framed Derrick.
- Lying to the Perp: The cops lie to Derrick by claiming the victim testified against him before dying.
- Only Bad Guys Call Their Lawyers: Derrick was convinced not to call a lawyer nine years ago because the cop questioning him said it'd make him look guilty.
