It's an iconic line in any crime story: when a suspect is arrested and gets to make one call. In reality, once a person enters the criminal justice system, there are multiple opportunities to make calls while awaiting trial. The vast majority of those calls are recorded. An admission, a threat, a slip of the tongue, a bribe -- it's all on tape and the suspect knows it, but this doesn't always prevent people from talking and talking. Jailhouse phone calls are used to frame the narrative of murder investigations steeped in mystery.
Aleksandr Kulakov, aka Shark, and Victor Drozd are two experienced police officers, heroes of the Major Crime Unit. They are role models for the rookies. But in reality, they lead a double life. When not at work, they go racketeering on command of a businessman Shultz who has a dark criminal past. But the time is coming for Drozd to give up the crimes. Shark tries to talk him out of it, but his partner remains firm in his decision. A couple of hours later, Drozd is killed. Shark is the most obvious suspect. Shultz bails him out of trouble only to frame him later. He uses Shark to smuggle a drug batch into the city and then kills two guards with his service gun. Shark has to investigate his friend’s murder and revenge Shultz — all while hiding from his former colleagues.
Cry Wolfe combines the work of veteran private eye Brian Wolfe and Investigation Discovery's signature dramatizations to create a hybrid reality/procedural-crime series. It's inspired by actual cases investigated by Wolfe and his assistant, Janine McCarthy, and whether the target is a cheating spouse, dishonest employee, or scammer, each half-hour episode follows the two from the initial client consultation to evidence-gathering stages and finally a confrontation with the accused. Wolfe, a no-nonsense guy with a thick Boston brogue, conducts field work using an arsenal of tried-and-true P.I. tricks; McCarthy picks up the data trail left on the Internet; and re-enactments give each case life, disclosing a shadowy world where things aren't always as they seem.
