While Vic searches for his wife and children, the Strike Team has increased the number of drug shipments they allow to come into the Farmington district through their corrupt U.S. Customs contact. The newest shipment turns out to be poisoned and Vic and the Strike Team are forced to go to Tijuana to track down the man responsible, Navaro Quintero, and retrieve their money from him. Meanwhile, Dutch and Claudette investigate brutal murders committed by Navaro's brother, Armadillo, in his bid to unify Farmington street gangs under his leadership. With the help of a seasoned Tijuana policeman, Vic finds Navaro then kidnaps him and extorts his money back by using Armadillo's brutal tactics. He then smuggles Navaro over the U.S. border and arrests him. Meanwhile as Julien teaches a young offender the difference between right and wrong, he falls for and decides to ask his mother out for a date.

Episode Notes |
| |
According to Vic, only 5 weeks have pased in the show's timeline.
| The Mexico scenes took two days to film with a "splinter crew." Most of the shots were done in real time in only two takes a piece, with the kidnapping scene at one of the busiest intersections of Tijuana.

Episode Goofs |

Shane lost his badge in Tijuana. Yet when Vic tells him to give up his key, he has a badge around his belt. Apparently he was able to find a fake one the moment he got back across the border.
| Look close in the first scene. You can see the first guy on fire is wearing flame suit and helmet. His head is a little bigger than normal.
| When Kellis introduces herself to Dutch, he's bent over his desk doing work. The next shot shows him leaning back in his chair.
