Chief McConnell, who is heading this inquiry, tells D'laska that there has been a Mafia contract out on Calabrese's life. Chief Roberts, foreseeing consequences, demands D'laska be removed, and a more seasoned Detective be assigned. But McConnell is steadfast, he is only interested in the truth, and D'laska remains on the case.
One thing that nags at D'laska is why was he selected to investigate this case. He is neither from Organized Crime nor Internal Affairs. How will Calabrese's behavior change now that he knows there is this unprecedented mafia contract out on him, a New York City cop? That question is answered in the next episode.
