Description: THE CLOSER stars 2006 Emmy, Golden Globe and Screen Actors Guild Award nominee Kyra Sedgwick as Deputy Chief Brenda Leigh Johnson, who heads up the LAPDs Priority Homicide Division. The two-hour Dec. 4 airing, entitled Serving the King, is a two-part episode with the first part directed by two-time Tony nominee Arvin Brown (The National Health, Ah Wilderness!) and the second part directed by Sedgwicks multi-talented husband, Kevin Bacon. In it, Deputy Chief Johnson is called upon by her old CIA mentor (two-time Emmy winner William Daniels) to assist in an off-the-record investigation of a would-be defector found murdered in Los Angeles. Through a winding and complex case, Brenda must find the common thread linking a former KGB agent, the murder of several CIA agents, a young Lebanese boy thought to be a terrorist and 20 pounds of missing, weapons-grade plutonium.
