Summary
Miles Silverberg receives an anonymous tip that highly visible federal prosecutor Robert Hawk received an illegal favor. Murphy Brown meets with the caller at Phil's that afternoon, and pursues the story after discovering Hawk had mob connections through Leon Sturgiss, a well-known and feared mobster. Miles receives a death threat because of the coverage, but ultimately, Hawk and Sturgiss are arraigned in federal court, and Miles lives. However, at the end of the episode, he receives a death threat from Sturgiss which he'll act on in "five to seven short years" when he's released from jail.
