That last scene at the end when they realise the little girl didn't have an uncle was very dark. The early seasons of L&O showed you how gritty the city of New York was and it demonstrated it perfectly via the criminal justice system. Truly a timeless classic episode

Cartels are made up of different gangs and sects, some cartels have businesses in nightclubs, prostitution, money laundering, contract hits, murders, other have drugs, car stripping, gambling, racketeering, trafficking. Some even have store fronts that are made to look like convenience stores but in the basement there's gambling going on or prostitution.

One of the greatest hours in the history of the show. Goes beyond the typical episodic L&O formula to deliver a story that crosses within the personal world of the characters and causes consequences that would permanently alter the future of the show. With Phil laid up recovering from his gunshot, new senior detective Lennie Briscoe makes his grand entrance at the very start of the next episode, and it's almost immediately clear to whom the show will soon belong. What about the little girl? How did things really end for her? Unfortunately, I think it ended for her the same way the story began: with her being shocked, terrified, and crying for her dead parents. This time, though, the people around her just tell her to shut up, while they figure out a way to make some money off of her before they toss her in some hole.

What's the point of dragging all those people in a trial against a hitman for the Colombian mafia just so you become dumb enough to not realize that the mafia would have him killed and have all the people involved killed? Of course they were scarred he would tell them about their operations!! If you can't protect people against the mafia, then let them be. It was so obvious the man who killed the hitman had been solicited by the mafia. Everyone expected that. The police, the judge, the prosecutor.. all they cared was their case. Nobody cared about the actual people involved. Let the mafia take each other out. Don't drag innocent people in the situation just so you can convict some hotshot for murdering a strayed mafia member.
