storyline Detective Driver was requested by a hostage taker. He and his partner, Josie Mac, arrived at the scene. The man turned out to be Driver's little brother's best friend. He'd been homeless recently. He got the man to let the hostages go, but had to give himself up in return. The man rattled on about the voice in his head and his highschool baseball team (he was one of two survivors when their locker room was bombed). He then stuck a gun to his head and fired. Driver was given the OK to reopen the unresolved case. He and Josie found none of the evidence on the case. When they checked, they found that Harvey Bullock was the last to check it out. Later they (Josie) found one box that included the suicide victim's cap - it had one of the Mad Hatter's control devices in it.
