 SEASON 1, EPISODE 23 BADGE OF HONOR After the bombing of his wife's car, policeman Russ Sharko (Val Avery) goes after crime boss Victor Haas (David Proval) with a vengeance. Tragically, his eagerness to trap Haas causes the death of an undercover cop during a stake- out. Furious at his behavior, Sharko's superior, Tom Van Der Beck (Kenneth McGregor) suspends him. While putting his police gear into storage, a star- shaped sheriff's badge falls out and lands at Sharko's feet. Drawn to the badge, yet unaware of its deadly power, Sharko takes it, and resumes his quest to kill Haas. No longer bound by police rules, Sharko sets out to finally have his revenge.
