What happens

Naked City: Justice with a Bullet is a 1998 American crime drama television film about two detectives who have to protect two girls who have been robbed of all their money and luggage. Airing on Showtime, the movie is loosely based on the 1948 film The Naked City, with Scott Glenn and Courtney B. Vance in the roles originated by Barry Fitzgerald and Don Taylor. A sequel, titled Naked City: A Killer Christmas aired a few months later. Kim Poirier has a cameo appearance in the film. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
