City Homicide
No Greater Honour, Part One: Reward Day
Original Air Date: February 23, 2011
The murder of a prison guard leads the team to a drug ring within the prison. The list of suspects range from the usual to the surprising. Meanwhile, Nick Buchanan meets up with Dane Majors, a man he put in prison for the murder of his wife. There's clearly tension between the two but is it because Nick planted evidence against him like Majors claims or just because Majors got caught by Nick? Matters are further complicated when a beautiful reporter wants to interview Nick about the Majors case for a story the Tribune is planning. Will she uncover information that will destroy Nick?
Nick and Duncan interview Eugene Ashton (Stephen Pease), the survivor of two prison guards who were terrorized and shot. One of the guards, Ben Kelton (Lloyd Bissell), died. The prisoner they were transporting, Sean Lynch (Chris Weir) pulled a gun on the two guards not far from the prison. Lynch forced them from the car at gunpoint and demanded the keys. Ashton turned them over and while Lynch was distracted with them, Ben Kelton pulled his gun and was shot by Lynch in the chest. Ashton turned to run and was shot in the arm. He blacked out and when he came to, Lynch was gone and the car and Ben Kelton, dead, were still there.

UK Television: Law & Order: UK, Introduction
For the past twenty years Law & Order has been one of the biggest and most successful franchises in television history. The original Law & Order series began on NBC on September 13, 1990 and spawned two popular spin-off's: Law & Order: Special Victims Unit (SVU) and Law & Order: Criminal Intent (CI). A short-lived summer series, Crime & Punishment, a focus on real cases and real trials, aired in 2002. In 2005, a one-season series, Law & Order: Trial By Jury brought the wildly popular Lennie Briscoe character briefly back to television following his departure from the original series. A new series, Law & Order: Los Angeles premiered in 2010 after the cancellation of the original series.
The story lines of Law & Order made the phrase "ripped from the headlines" common television vernacular, the ever-evolving cast kept the series fresh and gave us favorites such as Lennie Briscoe (Jerry Orbach) and Mike Logan (Chris Noth). The flagship of the Law & Order franchise is gone now (and Criminal Intent is soon to be gone as well) but Law & Order: Special Victims Unit and Law & Order: Los Angeles remain to keep the franchise alive in North America and around the world.
