A visit to Memmo reveals he has nothing to do with the hit after Horatio threatens to remove his daughter from her mother. He wants Horatio to hit him so no one gets suspicious. Memmo adds Horatio was keeping that inside a long time when he punches him hard. He believes the hit was ordered by El Asesino.
Calleigh (Emily Procter) checks the grenade and Walter (Omar Miller) warns her the case is of limits, but helps her anyway. The grenade was from World War II and she traces it back to the US and specifically to a stockpile of weapons in Texas. At least they have some sort of jurisdiction now. Brendan Dwyer (Scott Patterson) is based in Miami and when questioned by Calleigh and Delko (Adam Rodriguez) he states there was a robbery and he was shot, showing them his leg. Anita and her brother, Carlos (Marco James) are packed off to a hotel for protection, what Miami doesn't have a proper safehouse and only one policeman who is picked off pretty quickly. That's shouting out for a hit and that's exactly what happens. O'Shay (Ed Begley Jr) arrives and tells Calleigh the case isn't theirs and she tells him about Dwyer. Calleigh tries to drive away in the Hummer to the call out, but it doesn't start.
After a struggle between Anita, who manages to hold the silencer and direct it away; Carlos tries to stop him too. Funnily enough when Carlos was wrestling with him, Anita didn't reach for her gun which was in her bag, cos that'd be too easy. Horatio and Ryan (Jonathan Togo) arrive to save the day and Ryan notices she has a burn on her hand from where she touched the silencer.
Carlos tells her Geraldo was offered money to make her stop and he promised Geraldo he wouldn't tell her. Delko notices some trace under her nails which turns out to be paint from the silencer. This paint leads to Luis (Jeremiah Bitsui) who is Mala Nocha and he is also wounded in his arm where El Asesino shot him. Horatio wants Memmo to tell him the truth and he says the silencer was his but he discarded it and Luis admits he picked it up. Memmo wants to see his daughter but Horatio refuses, instead he can have the next best thing: steak. Which doesn't even turn out to be cooked to his liking. He says El Asesino is looking to buy weapons which are located at the dock; where they find Dwyer.
Dwyer admits he works for the government and weapons are sold to Mala Nocha as they lead to the higher up members of the gang. Sensors are placed in the guns, but as these were usually discovered, they ended up putting in two sensors. A special order 2.2 is tracked to Anita's hotel room and the gun is found in Carlo's backpack. That's not such a big surprise as there weren't that many suspects inn this episode, only I didn't think Carlos was guilty. She is his sister after all. He admits he found the gun under Geraldo's dresser, though have to wonder what he was doing there. Flash to Anita and Geraldo meeting at the shooting range, did she never wonder what he was doing there?
Delko looks at the bomb debris and luminol doesn't reveal any traces of blood. Thus Geraldo didn't die and lo and behold turns out to be El Asesino. Instead of killing her, he fell for her, which isn't surprising or original. He shot Luis cos he was looking out for her. No one thought about that being the reason he fired at Luis. It's all over the news that Anita has been shot which was a rouse to get him out of hiding and he does. Couldn't he have been placed in witness protection or something in return for info, sure they could have got plenty out of him, but Geraldo doesn't want to be taken alive, it'd also mean putting her life in even more danger if he did that Though this wasn't as dramatic as a shoot out in a hospital room and being shot by Horatio, only to slump over Anita. Well he's carked it now for real! He wanted his death to make her leave her job but that didn't work. So he didn't really know her that well then, why would she, his dying would only make her more determined.
Ryan and Delko not wanting to deal with Memmo and Tripp (Rex Linn) telling them it's cos they "have to dance with the devil to get out of hell."
O'Shay gives Walter his card and wants him to work for him but he doesn't have any intention of doing so; until Calleigh who happened to be nosing around, suggests it would be a good idea. Oh no, they're not going to do a 'Boa Vsta' when she was a mole for the FBI. Only Walter working for the opposition will be okay now cos he's really on their side. Oh and Natalia was absent this episode.
O'Shay tells calleigh Hank Kradic is on the oversight Panel with him and he donated the HumVees, so he won't like them working this case. However Calleigh tells him in no uncertain terms it involves the shooting of an officer now and he'd better stay out of his way, or she'll charge Hank with obstruction.
Memmo asks if working for Horatio, telling him the info, has earned him the 'grace' Horatio mentioned earlier on. Since grace is like forgiveness. Horatio replies that's up to him. Well it's hardly likely Horatio will forgive him for killing Marisol this lifetime or any other time. Why does Memmo crave his forgiveness anyway? Him being a hardened criminal, killer and one time leader of Mala Nocha.
Oh how did Carlos get that gun over the border, was it in Anita's luggage or something, her being a sheriff.
O'Shay is meant to be the baddie in their lives, but personally I preferred Rick Stetler, ah the good old days. He was such a worthy adversary and then they cheapened his character by making him dirty! Though he was a bad guy in abusing Yelina, it was great watching him and Horatio and their altercations!
Didn't much like this episode, don't really like the Mala Nocha ones, nothing ever happens to my satisfaction. It's like Miami grasping at straws for a lifeline and ratings! Also Miami throws in another lab tech, Jamie (Amber Lancaster) how many does that make and they have to be female. Just keep Travers or someone else, even though the actor may be busy on another show, don't bother putting one in, cos I'm sure a CSI can do the job. It just made it look as though she was trying to go one better than Walter and then asking for the coffee too, ugh.
Also Horatio being an expert on bombs doesn't process any of the fragments or debris, not that he would have found much, but it was better when Horatio used to 'muck out' in the lab. Was using Won't Get Fooled Again in the opening a clue or just a bad joke?! Ha.
