Old Charlie is deeply attached to his mother, and when separated from her, he often gets into trouble with little girls. He is 64 and has been to prison several times for child molesting. When his 82-year-old and very ill mother dies from an overdose of painkillers, the Homicide squad must determine if it was suicide, a mercy killing, or murder. Everything points to Charlie when it becomes obvious he has disappeared, but the case is complicated when it is discovered that a burglary was taking place in the house at the time of the old woman's death.
Notes: Originally titled 'What Would You Have Done?'. Guest actor Hedley Cullen said: "The role of Charlie in Homicide was a beautiful part - most sympathetic. I spent most of the time weeping."
