The suspect (Delgado) is a federal informant who murdered a father when he discovered that drugs were being smuggled through the ship yard where he worked. Jack attempts to get the witness identification thrown out in a preliminary hearing but the judge rules on the prosecutions side. Delgado gets desperate and grabs one of the guards guns and holds Jack, Erin and the rest of the courtroom hostage. After Erin is shot in the shoulder Jack helps her by applying pressure to her wound and comforting her.
