## Plot

In the city of Limón, famously known as "Caribbean of Costa Rica" is known for it's seaside, and tourists. Back at the station, Amaya says that she will partner us for few days more as Manuel has something important to do back home, so he has went to Canada for a week. As we had heard that, Dae-Hyun and Hayden were let off the prison as the murder they committed was under forced circumstances, and they were let go. Amaya says she wants to go the seaside seeing, it might calm her nerves after all what Froy did back to her. So we visit the blue waters, as we go there, a body was found at the sea shore, and much to our surprise it was the body of Dae-Hyun, Amaya took this as surprise saying how tragic is for a sixteen year old to be murdered. We notice some mark on his neck, which we deduced that he was strangled. After we send the body for autopsy, we had to find Hayden to give him this news, though we were not ready. We find some other clues, Dae-Hyun's release notice, and we learnt that Felix was the one who had got them out through the help of our famous lawyer friend Pavati Amozoc, though she was not in town, but Felix was and we interrogate him. He says that he knew that both him and Hayden were forced to kill against their will, he says that he wants to put Cobras Azuis and Los Perros to justice. Amaya says "Looks like impressing me and Manu is your biggest task" He blushes and doesn’t say anything. We later get a call from Hayden, who says that he couldn’t find Dae-Hyun, he tells us about where he is and we go there.

We were at the sea shore, where Hayden was making some decorations, Amaya didn’t want to break it, but he says that he preparing for a sweet surprise for Dae-Hyun, saying that they can now be together without anyone interfering, we tell him that someone had murdered him, Hayden's sudden excitement goes into agony and he begins to cry saying he is just cursed, he then says that it’s those Cobras Azuis who killed him, no one else could kill him, he then goes off saying he needs some time alone. Amaya feels sad, saying what Froy did to her made her more emotional, but still maintains her old self. We later find out that Natalia says that she wants to tell something about Dae-Hyun, we debrief her. She reveals us that Dae-Hyun got released by someone we don’t know, Felix and Pavati only worked together to get them out, but someone else had that mich clout to get him released. We were now puzzled that what more is bound to happen. We get the body results from Jacques who says that Dae-Hyun died dreadfully, saying that he was strangled with belt, then there was a cobra sign carved into and also La Cegua's famous hallmark sign. At the precinct, we were discussing details, Braxton says La Cegua is now attacking normal people.

Mid-investigation, Braxton tells us that La Cegua is now assuming her old self saying that she is now slaying people silently and we don’t know where it is. Braxton's hair get into his eyes and Amaya says "Sweetheart, girls don’t like that hairstyle, the only thing you get from these hair is black eye", Braxton says "Hey you are so mean for no reason", Amaya laughs and thinks to herself how cool is to bother a younger guy than her, and she continues to do so. Jacques comes to us, he tells us that recently Froy wanted him to check whether Elaine is really pregnant or not because her doctor says that she is, but he feels she isn’t and keeps forcing her to check her, Jacques tells he has no idea how to deal with it, Amaya just says that Froy is dumb, making things worse for everyone. At the same time, Lovisa comes to us she smirks and says that La Cegua has been attacking Elaine, since we know La Cegua is also attacking normal people so maybe Elaine is victim of their hunger or maybe she is associated with the criminal world, we ask Elaine about it, she says she swear she has not killed Dae-Hyun, but we do not even mention about it, though we ask her to tell more, she says that Dae-Hyun keeps saying that she is evil and dangerous and has her evil inventions on Hayden, Elaine says that she doesn’t even know Hayden and Dae-Hyun kept attacking her for no reason, but she smirks and says maybe he died for the better. Floramaria says she had enough of Elaine because her behaviour is too suspicious, and we silently send her to custody so Froy couldn’t see or protest about it.

After that, Amaya says she recently heard there was airplane exhibition set up here, she says she was always fascinated by planes, and wants to see it, though we had again checked the sea shore again to get some more clues, and there we find out some admission form that was meant for Dae-Hyun to the International Aerospace Engineering School, and this was the most prestigious school for aerospace engineering. There we found out that this school was owned by one and only Mert Yılmaz, Amaya says she heard about him, so we interrogate him about this if he knows Dae-Hyun, before anything, Mert greets us saying life changed for him a lot, Amaya asks how we know him and she knows about our time back in Turkey. Mert says that Dae-Hyun actually was in the school in Seoul, before associating himself with Cobras Azuis, says he was a bright student, after we ask him, Mert says he will tell about other stuff later on. Amaya says she already misses Manuel saying that she loved to tease him, Braxton tells us saying that Hayden is going insane and attacked Cobras Azuis, so Froy comes to us, he says for once, he doesn’t care about Elaine, as he would take place of Amaya into interrogating Hayden. During the commotion, Hayden was not in his senses, he kept attacking Froy until he cries in his shoulder, he says that he doesn’t want to accept the fact that Dae-Hyun is dead, saying it’s his fault, Froy says he needs to lay down. At the precinct, we were discussing details, Floramaria approaches us telling us about Dae-Hyun's real self.

Mid-investigation, Floramaria tells us that Dae-Hyun was the son of South Korea's most notorious gangster's son, we were shocked that it was probably him who got Dae-Hyun out, Floramaria she doesn’t know about it but says that Dae-Hyun was thrown out when he was ten, and he was then took in custody by someone named Mert. This took us as shocked so we debrief Mert about this. He tells us that six years ago, Dae-Hyun was kicked out by his parents, and that time he was part of his school, when he figured about this, he took him into custody but Cobras Azuis wasted his talent and made him a murderer which makes him sad. After few while, Maurice approaches us saying that he found out that Cobras Azuis is planning to take Dae-Hyun's body to remove it from existence because he already had caused them enough problems and if anyone found about their more sinister plans, they would be ruined, Maurice says he himself doesn’t know about their plans, but he says that La Cegua left another skull today and their door saying "Submit and worship my melons", Amaya laughs and says "Her's are probably that small that no one has ever loved her", but Maurice disagrees and says "Hey all are valid, I like all", Amaya rolls her eyes and goes off. We proceed to find more clues.

In the end, we had enough evidence to arrest Natalia Cabrera for the murder. Upon admitting, Natalia laughs and says that Dae-Hyun had to die because had been let out of prison only to reveal about the darkest secret of Cobras Azuis, though she probably didn’t look right, but she kept laughing hysterically, and says that Cobras Azuis have a mass skeleton catacombs underneath somewhere where for over 120 years, there had been killings and several atrocities on those who doesn’t join their clique, at the same time Natalia faints and wakes up, she says that she doesn’t know what happened to her, telling us that she was being threatened by Cobras Azuis to murder Dae-Hyun, because he revealed most of their dark secrets and he was even planning to destroy their headquarters with Hayden, so for saving their wealth and their power, they took brainwashing and controlling and used old members of both Cobras Azuis and Los Perros to commit these crimes, because it would be easy to put all the blame on them, but that’s what she remembers, she doesn’t remember anything about murdering or even hurting Dae-Hyun, saying all she remembers is that waking up and Dae-Hyun was laying there with his body carved with Cobras and La Cegua's hallmark, we were shocked that something like this could happen, and decide to tell it about to Floramaria, she says that Natalia needs to be checked by a psychiatrist.

Judge Kingston tells us that the trial would wait until we figure out what happened to Natalia. We went to the psychiatrist, and she tells us that Natalia was brainwashed and was forced to do against her will so she is not responsible for it so she was free to go. Back at the station, Amaya says that she is shocked that now Cobras Azuis is brainwashing people to get their work done. Mert approaches us, he tells us that he will tell what happened in their lives, when we were away. He says that he got married to Ceren, and is father of two children now, he also says that Onur and Elif got married and have a five year old son. After we talk to him, Lovisa comes to us, she says that recently Felix has been digging deeper into the Cobras Azuis and he found out that her own family was victim of their cruelty years back. So we talk to Felix about it, he says that Lovisa's family was once almost killed by Cobras Azuis when they refused to start in Australia, but he says he found out that they smuggled gold, and still do which he recently found out. Outside our station, there was a fist fighting between Cobras Azuis and our own team, as we see Guillermo fighting with Froy, who punches him back and we all try to stop the fight, but it was no cause, so we get Floramaria to knock some sense into Froy and she does "FROYLAN JORGE GONÇALVES, how many times you will get yourself in trouble". After the fighting, Floramaria tells us that La Cegua is bigger problem than Cobras Azuis and Los Perros, and we should figure out who she is and what is her main aim, with hurting them and us.

At the department, Amaya says she misses Manuel, saying it was fun to play coy with him, so she decides with Braxton, while we go to tease him, we notice someone saying "Kiss me", and Amaya sees them and it was Alejandra and Froy. Amaya sarcastically says that Elaine probably dumped him because small carrot and Alejandra listens to this and says "Oh my god, then sorry, we can’t date", Froy says it was a just a joke he wanted to kiss her and he is loyal to Elaine. After that we visit Braxton, who tells us that Rafael is now abandoning his habits of smoking and being a bitch to everyone all thinks it his commitment and Mary Ann's help, who approaches us, she tells us that Natalia needs some more counselling saying her mind is still not in her senses and she has been taking names of Elaine and Alejandra constantly, Elaine was no shock but Alejandra took as to surprise as she was just a harlot, so we debrief her about it, she says that Natalia might be remembering the night they had when she was in Los Perros, Amaya tells her to spare us the details, and we proceed further. Later, we got another whiff of suspense from La Cegua who says "You are almost near my melons, but you have someone who is betraying you", Amaya ignored this because La Cegua was a weirdo anyways. After having some fun with watching a movie, we hear that La Cegua's grand reveal will be in Honduras tomorrow and we head there.
