A Ticket Grows in Brooklyn

Original Airdate: December 5, 2003

Bosco and Monroe attempt to stop a small-time mobster/restaurateur, Allie "The Actor" Nardo (NICHOLAS TURTURRO - "NYPD Blue"), who's trying to extort money from an honest businessman, Victor Tanzi, Sr. (STEVEN RANDAZZO), and his hotheaded son, but efforts at peacemaking only result in deadly recrimination, causing Bosco and Monroe to doggedly pursue the case. Meanwhile, Carlos desperately searches for a bone marrow match for his ailing baby daughter. With Doc's help, Carlos' plight gets national press attention, and Carlos receives a call from a crying woman claiming to be the mother who abandoned him.
