In A Crime to Remember season 5 episode 2, titled "The Bad Old Days," viewers are treated to a real-life crime drama set in New York City in the 1970s. The episode explores the story of Mike Malloy, a homeless alcoholic who was the victim of a bizarre murder plot.

The episode opens with scenes of the gritty, crime-ridden New York City of the 1970s. Viewers are quickly introduced to the main players in the story: a group of seedy bar owners who are struggling to make ends meet. Desperate for cash, they hatch a plan to take out a life insurance policy on Malloy, a regular patron who always drinks himself into oblivion.

The plan is simple: they will feed Malloy unlimited booze and food until he dies of alcoholism. They will then collect the life insurance payout and split the money among themselves. It seems like the perfect crime - until Malloy proves to be more resilient than they anticipated.

As the weeks drag on, Malloy continues to show up at the bar day after day, drinking himself into a stupor but never seeming to get sick. The bar owners become increasingly desperate, trying everything from serving him wood alcohol to beating him to death, but nothing seems to work.

Meanwhile, the police are starting to take notice. Malloy's frequent visits to the bar are raising suspicion, and when his body is finally discovered in a flophouse, the detectives on the case are convinced that foul play was involved.

What follows is a riveting investigation, as the police piece together the strange plot against Malloy and try to bring the bar owners to justice. The episode combines archive footage of 1970s New York with reenactments of the crime, creating a sense of time and place that draws viewers into the story.

Throughout the episode, viewers are also treated to expert commentary from historians and true crime experts, who provide background information on the case and shed light on the social and cultural context in which it took place. As with all episodes of A Crime to Remember, "The Bad Old Days" is more than just a true crime story - it's a window into a bygone era, a reminder of just how far we've come in the fight against crime and corruption.

Overall, "The Bad Old Days" is a gripping and atmospheric episode that will keep viewers on the edge of their seats. With its combination of historical detail, expert analysis, and compelling storytelling, it's a must-watch for fans of true crime and anyone interested in the fascinating and often disturbing history of New York City.
