Acts of Contrition is a fifth season episode of the television series Law & Order: Criminal Intent.

[edit] Plot summary

In this episode, Detectives Goren and Eames investigate the murder of a respected nun who helped child prostitutes reform. They soon realise that someone has tried to cover up part of the crime. The investigation leads them to a young man, whose older half-brother was incapacitated after a racial hate crime in a baseball field seventeen years earlier. They begin to believe the two incidents could be related. The key to resolve the case is a young nun who watched the suspect's attack, and the only way they can get him to take responsibility for his crime is to find one missing link.
