When Justice Fails

Tom Chaney and Rod Lambeau are recently partnered Homicide detectives in the NYPD. To some extent, they are both outsiders, Tom, to his colleagues, still supporting his crooked ex-partner who was and his only true friend on the force, and Rod who is openly gay. Their first cases are the separate murders of first Dean Harvey and then William Boxler, two men who were charged but not convicted of violent sexual assault. Both victims were poisoned - the cause of death - before their hair haphazardly shorn in what the detectives believe is some sort of ritualistic act. Beyond the M.O., one other common bond between the two victims is that they were tried by D.A. Katy Wesson, these two among her few losses. Katy's success as a D.A. is despite being deaf, her friend, Josh Kane, her interpreter and general protector. In seeing her in court and the passion with which she works, Tom and Rod have no choice but to place her at the top of their suspect list. Tom wants to get close to Katy if only to find out more about her for the investigation. Despite their initial antagonism in Katy knowing she is a suspect, Tom and Katy begin to fall for each other, and embark on a relationship. This relationship places Josh, Katy and Rod often at odds with each other, especially as Rod becomes more and more convinced that Katy is indeed their perpetrator with more and more evidence uncovered, while Josh goes out of his way to explain that evidence away, and Katy knows that she is still under investigation by the pair.

The Passion of the Christ

2 hr 7 mins
A depiction of the last twelve hours in the life of Jesus of Nazareth, on the day of his crucifixion in Jerusalem. The story opens in the Garden of Olives where Jesus has gone to pray after the Last Supper. Betrayed by Judas Iscariot, the controversial Jesus - who has performed 'miracles' and has publicly announced that he is 'the Son of God' - is arrested and taken back within the city walls of Jerusalem. There, the leaders of the Pharisees confront him with accusations of blasphemy; subsequently, his trial results with the leaders condemning him to his death. Jesus is brought before Pontius Pilate, the prefect of the Roman province of Judaea, for his sentencing. Pilate listens to the accusations leveled at Jesus by the Pharisees. Realizing that his own decision will cause him to become embroiled in a political conflict, Pilate defers to King Herod in deciding the matter of how to persecute Jesus. However, Herod returns Jesus to Pilate who, in turn, gives the crowd a choice between which prisoner they would rather to see set free - Jesus, or Barabbas. The crowd chooses to have Barabbas set free. Thus, Jesus is handed over to the Roman soldiers and is brutally flagellated. Bloody and unrecognizable, he is brought back before Pilate who, once again, presents him to the thirsty crowd - assuming they will see that Jesus has been punished enough. The crowd, however, is not satisfied. Thus, Pilate washes his hands of the entire dilemma, ordering his men to do as the crowd wishes. Whipped and weakened, Jesus is presented with the cross and is ordered to carry it through the streets of Jerusalem, all the way up to Golgotha. There, more corporal cruelty takes place as Jesus is nailed to the cross-suffering, he hangs there, left to die. Initially, in his dazed suffering, Jesus is alarmed that he has been abandoned by God his father. He then beseeches God. At the moment of his death, nature itself over-turns.
