Nash responds, but is forced to kill Wilson. The entire squad is on edge, unable to stand Rick Bettina. Joe and Harvey threaten to retire, Evan wants to transfer out. Nash sends a complaint to the Police Commission. Joe and Birdsong interrogate the owner of the Barton Armored Cars since the company is the common link in all the robberies.
Birdsong gets the owner to confess to leaking information to the robbers.
The Police Commission refuses to review Nash's complaint against Rick. The next target of the robber is known - the race track where Nick and Loretta are having their private horse race. Nick's horse Mr. Woody beats Zanzibar Four. Nash intercepts the robbers by cuffing the driver and padlocking the yellow truck. Rick, with small shoes pinching his feet, shows up too late.
