| "We don't want to kill you Holmes. We want to hire you." — Halcon
|
| As Shinwell looks over an apartment that Watson's sister Lin secured for him, Watson tells Shinwell that his desire to change his life will take time. Having been kidnapped, Holmes is brought to a warehouse by members of the Mara Tres gang. Meeting their leader Halcon, he shows Holmes the bodies of four murdered men, three of his gang members and a smuggler, Reymundo Torres. Indicating that Torres' death will hurt his business, he hires Holmes to find the killer. Examining the scene, Holmes finds a secret cache that is empty but used to contain crystal meth. He is able to deduce that at least five men committed the murders. In exchange for Halcon finding a drug dealer that is selling poisoned heroin, Holmes agrees to find the murderers. Later at The Brownstone, Watson is incredulous with the deal Holmes has made.

| Indicating that Mara Tres set the warehouse on fire after he left, Holmes believes he'll be able to bring down several criminal organizations as he pursues the case. While watching live footage of NYC's ports from a helicopter business owner who owes Holmes a favor, he mentions that he saw prints at the murder scene from boots made in North Korea. Knowing that North Korean ships are registered in Tuvalu, they are able to find a ship and bring its captain, Pak, into the 11th Precinct. With Captain Gregson, Holmes and Watson question Pak who quickly confesses to the meth robbery and murders, however, all of Pak's answers indicate he's lying. Saying that his employers will kill his family if they are implicated, Torres threatened him to stop bringing meth into NYC. Forced by his employers to return, Torres and his men robbed Pak's ship of the meth and a metal box.
