The Long Walk (E05)

Detectives Stevie Hall (Angela Griffin) and Jack Cooper (Shenae Grimes-Beech) are the investigating officers on a homicide case that has gone to trial. The accused is a college hockey star, Zach Graydon (Jesse Lavercombe), who is being charged with the rape and murder of Beth Tremblay (Bracken Burns), a 21-year old college student whose body was found near the recycling bins of her dormitory residence. A new witness, Emma Wright (guest star Rebecca Liddiard), came forward to the detectives shortly after the murder, to report that Graydon sexually assaulted her five months prior. Unfortunately, Emma’s sexual assault kit was destroyed, so there is little evidence apart from her testimony. Jack and Stevie are brought into court to testify about their work on the case, only to find that the attorney spearheading the defence is none other than Marc Savage (guest star Ben Bass), Jack’s vindictive ex whose insight into the case causes tension between Jack and Stevie. To make matters worse, their star witness, Emma Wright, gets cold feet as the trial gets uglier; and Jack and Stevie must put their personal issues aside and battle against the clock to prevent the case from being derailed.
