Plots(1)

A man is found stabbed to death in an alley. His hands reveal his profession, he shined shoes. With no identification, it's difficult to figure out who this man is, but autopsy reports show he's in his mid 50's and that his liver is shot as he's clearly been quite ill. Meanwhile, a Chinese gang member is brought in as a possible suspect when a customer of the victim recalls that the man had been roughed up recently by some of the Chinese gangsters. The gang member admits to beating him up in the past but denies the murder. However he does provide some clues. He claims he saw John Doe with two other middle aged white men, getting into a dark blue 4-door sedan Mercedes. Eventually, Briscoe (Jerry Orbach) and Green (Jesse L. Martin) figure out who their victim is, he's Joseph Eastman and he lived in poverty in Queens. They find an unopened box in his apartment; it has his Bronze Star inside from his tour of duty in Vietnam. (iTunes)
