At the precinct, Mac interrogates Zane but he's not talking. Jo (Sela Ward) watches from the other side as do DB and Flack. Mac loses his cool and applies pressure to Zane's wound but he doesn't give in. Boyd is in the hospital. Their kidnapper talks to someone on the phone and is about to shoot Shawn when Christine tells him he can use them for leverage since her boyfriend is a cop.
Sid (Robert Joy) autopsies the DB and finds a tattoo on him. He tells Hawkes (Hill Harper) it's of Seth and Apep but he hasn't heard of them. From ancient Egypt, Seth used to protect Ra. So chaos was used to destroy evil. He thinks it could belong to an Egyptian gang and the gang cold be here or have ties here. Lindsay (Anna Belknap) processes a piece of paper found on he Vic as well as a notepad which is in Arabic but she hasn't been able to work out what it says. (It wasn't really written in Arabic). The paper turns out to be a laundry receipt, Nailah's (Tehmina Sunny) laundry.
Mac contemplates his actions as we get flashbacks of him and Christine. DB informs him of Interpol getting a hit on Zane as he killed a member of the Egyptian parliament, he's wanted for murder over there. They figure he's working for someone here. Flack gives Mac a box that was left for him and inside is someone's tongue with a message to "answer our call at 3." Mac is overcome with emotion and walks away, he can't bear to think it might be Christine's. Adam manages to trace the call when it comes through, as Mac sits in his office. He gets a call earlier at 2.45 and leaves. DB notices and goes after him.
Danny (Carmine Giovinazzo) says the tongue is being matched in CODIS as it's male and the phone rings. Jo answers and Adam is able to locate its signal. Danny is sent to Chinatown whilst Jo takes Flack to locate the signal of the phone. There's no one there when they arrive at both locations and Flack finds a discarded phone in the bin. It was just a ploy to separate his team. Mac notices DB following and stops to tell him he has to be at the warehouse alone. DB will go with him and stay back.
Hawkes and Lindsay go to the laundry and the woman there, Nailah tells tehm how they have to pay protection. She identifies one of the man by name as Faraj (Omir Zader). But doesn't recognize Zane by name, only that he used to come sometimes to get the money. Of course she was lying and anyone could see that but not it seems Lindsay. Mac gets to the location and finds Shaan's DB. Christine calls Mac and is made to read a message telling him to bring Zane to Teterboro airport.
Jo, arrives at the location where Danny and Lovato (Natalie Martinez) are with the DB. She says they will do as they always do and follow the science. Sid finds a tattoo on Shawn's leg which was drawn in his blood and Jo notices a fingerprint belonging to Christine, she was trying to tell them something. Flack tells mac the US Marshalls are coming for Zane since they were alerted by Interpol but Mac needs him to exchange for Christine. Flack agrees to stall them by telling them he was accidentally taken to another precinct which DB adds is his fault since the form looked different. They go for coffee. Mac arrives at the airport but Christine isn't with him. He shoots two of the men and takes out a second gun, threatening Omar (Farshad Farahat) with Russian roulette. Of course the gun is empty as it's obvious Mac didn't put a bullet in it.
Adam matches the locations of the other businesses being extorted on the map and finds the laundry isn't listed there. Thus Nailah is running the racket and is Zane's sister. Jo thinks the tattoo was the symbol Christine saw from where she was held captive which is a restaurant across the road from the laundry. When they arrive Christine isn't there. So Mac threatens Omar with a loaded gun this time. Mac knocks out Ahmed (Anthony Martins) and rescues Christine. She's in the hospital and DB tells Mac it's his turn to look after her now. Mac thanks DB for being here and DB adds when Mac buys him dinner in Vegas next time, he'll bring his whole family.
Didn't really think much of this episode, it suffered from too many flashbacks and Mac kind of lost the plot a little in being too emotional, understandable it was more so than he would have done with anyone else, but he doesn't really think straight for a while. Jo mentions the suspect saying he played Russian roulette with him, but Mac says it wasn't much of a game with an empty gun. As we know he wouldn't overstep the mark even though he did resort to using a little 'torture' on Zane. Also DB didn't really have much to do in this episode except babysit Mac. He was underused especially when none of Mac's team saw Mac wander off early than the call. Wouldn't he have stuck around for it and they didn't realize he got called on his mobile either.
Seth was the God of Chaos who beheaded Apep, the God of evil to save Ra. Does the title suggest anything more, doesn't seem like it. Mac taking out all the men to save Christine. So how'd Christine manage to paint that tattoo so perfectly on his leg anyway for someone who was quivering from fear not five minutes before. Flack and his "not much you can do. Clerical errors tend to happen from time to time."
Flashbacks were from the episodes 8.12 Brooklyn Til I Die, 8.14 Flash pop, 9.7 Clue SI and 9.10 The Real McCoy.
