S12 E18: A well-dressed businessman is found dead near a ferry landing. Detectives Briscoe (Jerry Orbach) and Green (Jesse L. Martin) have a tough time identifying him because his wallet has been stolen, but a rare cigar leads them to a cigar bar where he apparently spent his last hours. Through a credit card receipt, they learn the victim is John Cooper, an analyst at Dreisner Investments. At first, they think the killer could have been one of his ferry buddies with whom he had a poker group. John owed one of them, Peter O'Mann (Lawrence David Kopp), fifty thousand dollars. O'Mann admits he met John the night of the murder, but claims he cannot disclose their conversation because he was John's attorney and their meeting is protected under attorney-client privilege.
