- Hitmen reach the last witness in the Russian mob case, which leads to the discovery of a money laundering scheme. And a related bomb scare at the police precinct forces McCoy to defy Schiff and go all out to prosecute the offenders.
- The prosecutors case suffers a major setback when a hit man manages to infiltrate the safe house where their only witnesses were being kept. ADA Toni Ricci was killed as was 10 year-old Billy Woodson's mother but the boy survived and is in critical condition in hospital. Detectives Briscoe and Curtis are tasked to find the killers and focus on a young Latino couple who were seen entering the building. It turns out they are connected to Columbian drug dealers meaning the Russians and the Columbians are working together. They find that the Columbians are laundering their drug money through Russian banks. They launch a racketeering case against the Russian mobsters who are definitely playing hardball: they plant a large bomb in the police precinct. McCoy decides to play hardball as well.—garykmcd
- The second part of a two-hour episode, this hour opens at the safe house from the first hour. The detectives find ADA Ricci and the mother of McCoys star witness with their throats cut. The boy has been wounded too and taken to the hospital in ICU. Video surveillance leads them to a Hispanic couple that is affiliated with a Colombian drug cartel. They are wanted for a murder of a witness in a Miami drug case six months earlier. Further investigation takes the detectives to a New York bank that sends hundreds of millions of dollars to a Russian bank. After a search warrant is served on the Russian suspects from the initial case, a bomb is discovered in the basement of the police headquarters. A similar bomb was used in a Russian police bombing a few months earlier, killing 60 police officers. Despite Adam ordering Jack not to do it, McCoy issues arrest warrants for all of the suspects in both the Russian and Colombian gangs. The defense lawyer asks a judge for McCoy to bring the defendants up for arraignment but McCoy refuses until he has all of his evidence in order. Jack appeals all the way up to the Supreme Court to keep the suspects in jail, but they are eventually released. McCoy uses the owner of the New York bank as a witness against the suspects to get guilty convictions for all of them. This also marks Detective Rey Curtiss last episode. He leaves to help take more care of his wife with her failing health.
