Summary: While Vic searches for his wife and children, the Strike Team has increased the number of drug shipments they allow to come into the Farmington district through their corrupt U.S. Customs contact. The newest shipment turns out to be poisoned and Vic and the Strike Team are forced to go to Tijuana to track down the man responsible, Navaro Quintero, and retrieve their money from him. Meanwhile, Dutch and Claudette investigate brutal murders committed by Navaro's brother, Armadillo, in his bid to unify Farmington street gangs under his leadership.

TRIVIA

The Mexican scenes took two days to film with a splinter crew. Most of the shots were done in real time in only two takes a piece. The kidnapping scene was filmed at one of the busiest intersections of Tijuana.
