At his new office, Frank will have to shape up if he wants to fit in. Not only is he told to buy a tailored suit, Svend-Erik gives Frank one week to prove himself by winning a case. If he fails, he will be fired. Pushing through the pain of her gun wound, Sara uses her police contacts to investigate Waldman. When he turns out to be clean she turns her gaze toward his number two, Bogdan Nikolitch. It turns out that Bogdan runs a building firm as a front for Waldman, and that one of its employees, Brian, has been charged with aggravated assault. More importantly, Brian is a client of Svend-Erik.

As Frank is about to enter the courtroom to defend Bogdan's decoy Martin Kodres, Brian calls and tells him to come see him at once, or he will skip town. Frank hurries to his hotel, where Brian tells him he has Bogdan's phone and that it contains evidence linking an up-coming drug deal directly to Waldman. Brian is the only one capable of deciphering the codes, and Frank tries to convince him to witness. Brian refuses, and Frank has to rush back to the courthouse. During recess, Frank overhears Waldman order a hit on Brian, and he calls Sara.
