S2·E19 The Fertile Fields

Episode recap

In the nineteenth episode of the second season of Law and Order, titled The Fertile Fields, the investigation centers on the brutal murder of a Jewish jeweler. Initially, the circumstances surrounding the crime suggest that the incident may have been motivated by hate. As the police detectives conduct their investigation and weigh the evidence, the focus of the case shifts away from a potential hate crime. The inquiry eventually leads the authorities to examine the victim's brother and his involvement in various shady business dealings.
