When Vic and the Strike Team fall short of discovering which bills from the money train are marked, there is only one option left – to steal the safe, which contains the list of marked money, from Aceveda's office. The scheme gets interrupted when one of Vic's open cases, which involves a missing girl, is suddenly linked to a Narco Corrido song. The discovery of Narco Corridos, (popular songs in Mexico that depict crimes that have actually happened), gives Vic the blueprints behind several crimes. He must now work with Dutch and Claudette to find the singer and finally close his case. With the help of the Decoy Squad, they finally find the missing girl at her boyfriend's house where she has been hiding out. Meanwhile Claudette takes down a meth lab that is using illegal immigrant women as slave labor. While investigating the crime described in one of the songs, Vic comes face to face with an old fling and sparks fly. Danny and Julien are docked for going off the grid on the Tommy case and are forced to handle the annual inventory that creates some trouble for Dutch when a laptop is missing. David pays a late night visit to his cousin, Rigo's, house. He confesses to Rigo about the rape and Rigo recommends that there is only one way to take care of the problem.

Episode Notes |
| |
Deleted scenes for this episode on the Season 3 DVD include Julien & Danny being picked for inventory, Dutch complaining about being a go-to-guy, and Vic being a good dad.
| Natalie Zea was picked to do a longer stint on the show that would lead to the season finale, but her schedule shortened how many episodes she would be in. Her role was intended to be bigger than just a fling with Vic.
| This is the only episode where there is no mention of how Tavon is doing.

Rigoberto: Then take it back!
Aceveda: (Starting to cry) I don't know how.
Rigoberto: You're a captain. You command 200 men, hell you're gonna be the next city councilman. You have power, David. You have a gun and a badge. Now these were just a couple of punk assholes. Do you know who they are?
Aceveda: I could find out. But even then... what?
Rigoberto: If it was me... I'd kill 'em.

Episode Goofs |
| |
When Vic takes the tape out the VCR it's clearly a non-recordable tape!! There's a little piece of plastic that needs to be on the end to record over it, that many store bought tapes lack. And it was definantly recording because he rewound and played it back.
| When Vic shows up to meet Lauren and her K9 partner to search for the bodies, he gets down eye-to-eye with the dog. This would *never* happen with a police K9. It would be taken by the dog as a major sign of aggression and the dog would likely attack.
| The amount of times David kicks the suspect in the room, and the number of times on tape are not the same. He kicked two times more in the room than on tape.
