Recap
Hammer arrives at the station and discovers that Trunk is testifying against the Syndicate, making him a marked man. The commissioner calls from his car and splits his time between talking to his driver and Hammer. He orders Hammer to take custody of Trunk to protect him. Trunk is less than thrilled that Hammer is in charge. After the commissioner goes off the road because of his driver, Trunk is called away to check on supplies with two cops and refuses to let Hammer go with him. However, Hammer realizes the "cops" were carrying non-regulation guns. The killers drag Trunk into a closet and try to kill him, but Hammer arrives and manages to defeat them after hitting Trunk a few times. After the assassins are taken away, Trunk informs Doreau and Hammer he plans to meet with his ex-wife after setting a dinner up after several months. Hammer assures Trunk he won't even know he's there...Read the full recap
