Jack's Back

Mannion kehrt nach Washington D. C. zurück. Er ist entschlossen, den Bürgermeister davon zu überzeugen, ihn erneut zum Polizeichef zu ernennen. Temple wird nach dem Mord an einem Drogendealer verhaftet. Mannion bedient sich unkonventioneller Ermittlungsmethoden, um Temples Unschuld zu beweisen.

Back from his Arizona vacation and determined to get his job back, Jack starts campaigning for being Chief of police, even though it's not an elected position. He chooses not to use the illegal taping card that might get him back in the office in no time for a future use and moves into a poor neighborhood. Meanwhile, Brander decides to go back to the force and teams up with Nancy to investigate Lester Richard's death, for which Temple got arrested. They discover that Maria ""Cashmere Brown"" Rodriguez was lying, which frees Temple – but doesn't exactly prove he didn't kill Lester vindictively.

De retour à Washington, Mannion veut convaincre le maire de la ville de lui rendre son poste. Au même moment, il rencontre sa propriétaire qui le supplie de trouver une solution afin que son immeuble ne soit pas détruit. Arrêté pour le meurtre d'un trafiquant de drogue, Temple obtient l'aide de son ancien patron.
