"The Sanctuary" is an episode of "The FBI" that is mostly set in inner city Los Angeles and unlike most episodes, this one has a mostly black cast. Fortunately, the writers handled this one well and it holds up well today.
The story begins with two guys robbing a bank. One, Nate Phelps (Billy Dee Williams) ends up shooting a policeman dead as he's making his getaway. But his confederate is soon caught...and so Nate decides to go to his old neighborhood where he knows everyone and expects to find help.
This is a very interesting episode of the series and also handles race rather well. Not surprisingly, the inner city residents distrust the police and FBI...which is pretty realistic. Overall, a very good installment of the series.
