Storyline

Edit

An Italian mafioso, Nicola Conti, sends his henchmen after two thieves who stole drugs and money from him and then took his daughter Angela as prisoner. The process of tracking them down has led to two mass shootings, one in Italy and the second just across the border in Slovenia. Michel Dorn's has little faith in Hickman, who is temporarily in charge, but agrees to let the team get involved. The experience is an eye opener for he young Angel. Hickman meanwhile follows up with the woman from the bank who identified him as a cop. He's certain she knows something about the account he was looking into. Dorn continues in his quest to find evidence against Dimitrov while Louis Daniel and his wife try to deal with the latest revelations. —garykmcd

Trivia
Anne-Marie appeared in one scene only - while Eva, Louis, and Hickman were talking outside of Conti's warehouse, she was briefly present in the background. Moon Dailly was in the process of leaving the show and never appeared again, only her voice was heard in a later answering machine message.

Goofs
When the team uses the ultra expensive high quality scanner to scan the shooting site at the gas station, the message that pops up on the scanning equipment while it is working is misspelled -- "Calibrating Activating Reciever".

Over Your Head

A couple young men with good intentions rob a drug lord. They escape by forcing the guy's daughter to drive the away. This leads to major complications and lots of death, mostly because of a psychotic "protector" of the young woman. A sort of Stockholm syndrome thing takes place with the young woman. But mostly, she realizes her father is the worst of the worst. They try hard to stay alive as they make their way across European borders. But they are inexperienced in what they are trying to do, and the bad guys are trained killers. The international group has to put the pieces together in order to locate the daughter while her father plays the mafia role, not really caring about what happens to her. Good episode.
