Briscoe and Green are investigating the death of an elderly man who appears to have fallen down the stairs. But the ME thinks he was pushed. They learn that the man had been ranting about how his son who was an activist and who was killed during the Chilean coup in 1973. The detectives learn the elderly man was not senile or crazy: it appears that he was looking for an American military officer who may have been involved in his son's death. They learn that a man at the apartment where the elderly man died was the son of the officer he had been looking for. The man told the distraught elderly man looking for his father that his father was dead, but the distraught elderly man did not believe him, they fought, and the elderly man slipped and fell down the stairs. The man at the apartment also confirms that the elderly man claims about his father's involvement with the elderly man's son are true. After pleading the man out, McCoy decides to look into what happened to the elderly man's son. It turns out that the Chilean man who may have been involved with what happened to the man's son, is now a high ranking government official and happens to be in New York. Schiff warns McCoy that the government is not happy about his inquiries, but he eventually learns that the military man asked his aide to send a telex to the Chilean man giving him the activist's location in Chile when they were in New York, which gives McCoy grounds to arrest the Chilean and indict him.
