As the Barn's new commander, Steve Billings, is breaking the news about upcoming budget cuts, Julien and his rookie partner, Tina Hanlon, are responding to the knifing death of a black student at Wellman-Chase High School. When shots are fired during a riot between black and Latino students, the call for back up forces Vic to take control when Billings freezes. After the police and Councilman David Aceveda converge on the chaotic scene where a fifteen-year-old Latino lays dead from a gunshot wound, Vic learns that the stabbing was carried out on orders from a Latino prison gang, dictating that two blacks must be killed. As Corrine is approached outside her kid's school by Jon Kavanaugh, a man claiming to also be the parent of an autistic child, Assistant Chief Phillips tells Vic that he is being forced out of the department once he's eligible for retirement. After breaking the news to Shane, Vic joins his team to arrest stabbing suspect Lorenzo Lavedra, but not before he's wounded another black victim. As Dutch gets someone to ID the gunman at school as Evan Dayne, Vic is dealing with Lorenzo's mom, Calida, when her son attacks Claudette. Meanwhile, Aceveda is also approached by Kavanaugh, who is actually an Internal Affairs cop assigned to investigate Vic. When questioned, Lorenzo says that if he doesn't murder two blacks within the next few hours, his imprisoned dad will be killed. With Lorenzo in custody, the job falls to his younger brother, Cisco, who is stabbed after murdering a local barbershop's black customer. And as Cisco is rushed to the hospital, Vic dispatches Lem to the prison with photos of the murder victims that he hopes will save the elder Lavedra. Finally, as forensics evidence exonerates Dayne, and the Strike Team gets revenge on a teenager who clubbed Ronnie during the riot, Kavanaugh threatens to arrest Lem in order to turn him against Vic. © 2006 Twentieth Century Fox Film Corporation.
