Ep 14. Superstition

Nash Bridges season 4 episode 14, titled "Superstition", takes place in San Francisco and focuses on the investigation of a string of robberies and murders that appear to be connected to a local superstition. The episode opens with two criminals breaking into a store and stealing a valuable diamond. One of the robbers is eventually found dead, and the other is on the run.

Nash Bridges, the show's protagonist, is a detective with the San Francisco Police Department's Special Investigations Unit. Along with his partner Joe Dominguez and their team, Nash is tasked with solving the recent wave of robberies and murders.

As they begin their investigation, Nash and Joe learn about a local superstition that suggests that a curse is placed on those who attempt to steal the diamond. The superstition dates back to the gold rush era, when the diamond was first discovered. According to the legend, any attempt to steal the diamond will result in a series of tragic events.

As Nash and Joe dig deeper into the case, they realize that several of the recent robberies and murders have connections to the diamond. One victim was a security guard at the diamond's previous location, while another was a former diamond dealer who had connections to the current owner.

The investigation becomes even more complicated when it is revealed that the diamond's current owner, a wealthy businessman named Charles Graff, has a history of illegal activity. Nash and Joe discover that Graff has been laundering money through a nonprofit organization that he runs, and that several of the recent robberies have been attempts to steal the diamond and use it as leverage against Graff.

As the investigation progresses, Nash and Joe must navigate a web of deceit and corruption in order to solve the case. They face opposition from Graff and his associates, who will stop at nothing to keep their secrets hidden. Meanwhile, Nash struggles to balance his personal life with his professional duties, as he navigates a difficult relationship with his ex-wife and tries to be a good father to his daughter.

Ultimately, Nash and Joe are able to solve the case and bring the criminals to justice. The episode ends with Nash reflecting on the superstition surrounding the diamond, and wondering whether there is any truth to the legend. Despite his skepticism, he is left with a lingering sense of unease and a newfound appreciation for the power of belief.
