Brother's Keeper

The word goes out to the uniforms to look out for any possible donors for a heart for Simone. Sipowicz, Medavoy and Martinez investigate the homicide of an elderly woman whose hands and feet were cut off of her body. Bobby is transferred over to the surgical staff, where his new doctor recommends that waiting for the heart transplant is his best option. The woman's two sons are probable suspects, one son, Arnold Struel, shows no remorse over her death, the other, Stanley an alcoholic junkie, who didn't like her, at least shows some compassion. Sipowicz finally gets Arnold to give it up. Later, when he returns to the interview room, he sees that Arnold is hanging himself. He debates about waiting until he is dead, to provide a donor for Bobby, but circumstances (Medavoy) prevent him from waiting. By chance, an off-duty cop is shot in the head and for all practical purposes is dead; Fancy makes a pleas with the widow, for a directed donation. Eventually she consents and Bobby is prepped

Alors que l'alerte est donnée pour trouver un nouveau coeur pour Bobby Simone, Sipowicz, Medavoy et Martinez enquêtent sur l'homicide d'une vieille femme dont les mains et les pieds ont été coupés. La police porte ses soupçons sur l'un des fils, Arnold Struel, qui ne semble éprouver aucun regret...

Hoffnung für Bobby: Die Witwe eines erschossenen Kollegen willigt ein, das Herz dem schwerkranken Bobby zu spenden. Auf dem Revier müssen sich die Kollegen inzwischen um den Fall einer ermordeten alten Frau kümmern. Deren Söhne haben alles andere als eine weiße Weste.
