Without witnesses coming forward, the case went cold.
- Detective Babcock heard the owner, MacRury, was a gambler and suggests he may have owed money. He offers his notes, as requested. He asks if they have any leads and is told that they have a suspect in custody - Frank Rizzo.

He knows because he put him there himself.

Then, Murdoch has a question for him, "She insists she gave you a statement on the night of the murder, and yet it wasn't included in your notes." It was a chaotic crime scene then and he doesn't believe he did...The, Lucille calls out to him from the Station's bullpen. Murdoch asks, "How does she know your first name?"
- Detective Babcock is caught in his lies and denials for he had been extorting Wendel MacRury and when MacRury refused to pay him anymore, he murdered Wendel. Then, he scared the witnesses into silence, but when Babcock thought they might not keep his little secret, he had Lucille eliminate them – promising her protection. The corrupt copper pulls out his gun, "...Not a chance in hell I'm going to prison. I'm walking out of here". In the ensuing fight, the gun drops to the floor before Paul Babcock is arrested for the extortion and murder of...Lucille Anderson shoots Paul in the chest, "Tell the devil I'm right behind you."
