Nehemiah Persoff guest stars as elderly Jewish tailor David Steinmetz, who willingly confesses "I killed the woman I love" when police find the body of his invalid wife in their apartment. Steinmetz insists that his wife begged him to help her commit suicide, but the facts do not bear this out. And then Stone (Michael Moriarty) unearths evidence that Steinmetz, who claims to have been a Holocaust survivor, may actually have been a Nazi collaborator. The climax of the story brings Stone into open conflict with Steinmetz's fiercely protective daughter (Diane Venora).
