The Strike Team's attempt to play by the book comes to an abrupt end when they discover that the Byz Latz and the One-Niners are attempting to alter the balance of power by acquiring MP5s. Meanwhile, Claudette and Dutch investigate the murders and foot severance of Armenian men by the Armenian mob, a case that draws them closer to the truth behind the money train robbery.
