 Levinson said he considered the interrogation scene in " Gone for Goode " between Braugher , Secor and Chaplin , to be the " defining scene " for Frank Pembleton 's character because it defined the character 's intelligence , quirkiness , sharp instincts and sneaky interrogation style . While filming that scene , Levinson commented to Tom Fontana that the acting was so effective , an entire episode could be filmed revolving strictly around an interrogation . The comments partially inspired Fontana to write the first @-@ season episode , " Three Men and Adena " , which became one of the most critically acclaimed Homicide episodes . The final scene of the episode features Bayliss responding to the murder scene of Adena Watson in a rainy alleyway . The body was wrapped in a red raincoat , and Levinson worked with colorists to bleed out all the colors except that red to give the film a stark look . " Gone for Goode " originally included a scene with Gee and Bayliss discussing detective work at the police station . The scene , which was cut from the final episode , featured Gee comparing the work to challenges faced by literary character Sherlock Holmes , as well as Gee mistakenly referring to Holmes ' antagonist Moriarty as " Murray " .
