Detectives John Kelly and Andy Sipowicz investigate a case of multiple murders in the latest episode of NYPD Blue titled "True Confessions." Through several twists and turns, the investigation leads them to a number of conclusions, some of which include confessions of guilt, while others leave more questions than answers.

At the beginning of the episode, the detectives are called to investigate the shooting of a young man outside of a nightclub. Upon arriving on the scene, they find that the victim had two gunshot wounds to the head and was left to die alone in a nearby alleyway. Their search for witnesses leads them to a prostitute who claims to have been with the victim earlier in the night and claims to have heard him mention something about a hit. With this lead in hand, they begin to dig deeper into the case, interviewing anyone who may have information about the victim or the shooting.

The detectives decide to question the victim's brother, who is currently serving time in prison, about the hit that was mentioned by the prostitute. The brother tells them that he was involved in a drug deal gone bad and that the victim was the actual target of the attack. He reveals that the hit was planned by a man named Garcia, who hired three other men to carry out the shooting. Upon hearing this news, the detectives begin to look for Garcia, hoping to get a lead on the suspects.

As the investigation continues, the detectives receive information from another source regarding the murder of a woman found in the back of a car. They somewhat transition to investigating a murder case by trying to figure out the dealer whose handgun was found in the car where the woman's body was discovered. As they go through their investigation, they are led to an unexpected connection between the two cases.

The detectives eventually find Garcia and bring him in for questioning. After some intense interrogation, Garcia confesses to the crime and provides them with names of the other men involved, leading to their arrests. However, as the detectives celebrate their success, they receive a new piece of information that throws the entire case into doubt. The episode ends with the detectives left wondering who is truly responsible for the murders and questions of whether they've arrested the right people.
