When his partner Bobby Keough (Speedman) is being investigated for inappropriate use of deadly force, Perry defends him even though he knows he was in the wrong. Police Chief Arthur Holland (Rhames) is aware there is corruption in the SIS unit and is trying to put a stop to it but he won't get help from Perry, who has his own beliefs when it comes to putting away the bad guy. However, when Perry and Keough track down two guys responsible for robbery and murder and Van Meter (Gleeson), the head of SIS, lets them off and frames two innocent ex-cons instead, Perry suddenly develops a conscience. Deciding to play it straight for the first time in his career, Perry wonders if he should start working with the Chief and against the "Dark Blue" corruption he has been surrounding himself with. (Tricia Littrell)
