A man who was convicted of killing a wealthy and beloved philanthropist nearly 6 years ago has just been released. It's evident that the man's not welcome in Houston so he's being brought to Oklahoma and Lundy and LaFiamma are tasked with bringing him there. Before going he wants to see his sister. But he takes her car and bolts. Later he is found dead of an apparent suicide. But Lundy and LaFiamma don't believe it and after they're suspended because they let him get away they decide to look into it on their own. Now the reason he killed the philanthropist is because he was accused of embezzlement which he denies doing. So they look into it by talking to the man's attorney but when they get there someone else is there who pulls a gun and they shoot back.
