Storyline

Lieutenant Gene Hunt 'steals' a bank-robbery case in the neighboring precinct after its boss, his longstanding rival Anthony Nunzio, took over the case of a man about to commit suicide and actually made him jump on Hunt's turf. The robber accidentally shoots a passerby in the street and is identified as Soviet Ukrainian illegal immigrant Yuri Demidov. He was blackmailed by Russian gangster Vasilli Lukin, from Nunzio's turf, so the case requires cooperation. Sam mediates with social worker Maria Belanger, who seduces him without divulging her pa and the rivalry root, which Ray eagerly points out. Written by KGF Vissers
