It’s been two weeks since Marta Walraven’s husband was gunned down in cold blood in the "Pilot." Her young son, Boris, witnessed the slaying. He’s been having nightmares ever since that tragic day. As for Marta, she’s living the nightmare of owing a debt to Nicholae Schiller. The ruthless crime figure wants her to import a consignment for him. The wait for his call to action has Marta completely on edge. She jumps when the phone rings only to learn that it is Irwin calling from prison. Her brother says he won’t last long in there. This is just before two other inmates try to attack him.

Schiller orders Marta to partner up with Mike even though she doesn’t trust him. No problem. He doesn’t trust her either. Marta would much rather work with her father. Mike lets Marta know that the key to getting drugs through customs is having a supervisor in your pocket. He attempts to reengage Evan’s old contact, but the guy tries to forcibly squeeze more money out of him. TWACK! Marta whacks the guy across the back with a long piece of lumber. Mike says they’re gonna need a new supervisor.

Marta and Mike lock in on Bob Lagrosse as their next supervisor option. The guy was taken to the cleaners by his wife in a nasty divorce. He’s flat broke which makes him supremely bribable. Marta relentlessly flirts with the guy, but he’s too down on life to notice. The only good thing he has is the beloved motorcycle he restored with his dad. Marta’s flirting session is cut short when her phone rings. It’s a school that’s willing to take Boris in as a student. This is thanks to a strong recommendation that was given by Schiller. During a brutal kickboxing session, the crime lord lets Marta know that he only did this to keep her from being distracted.

While staking out Bob’s place, Mike is shocked to learn that Marta believes Evan is the one who got them into this mess. In reality, it was her brother, Irwin. They make a move to steal Bob’s beloved motorcycle. Marta keeps him busy with a phone call while Mike loads the bike onto the back of a truck. Bob is devastated when he sees the last thing in the world that he owns being taken away. Marta feels equally as horrible that she’s the one behind this decent guy’s anguish.

Andrei wants to provide Luther to his daughter for protection. Marta is against this, but she will allow a security system to be installed in her home. Luther has a nice moment with Boris, who is waiting for pizza in the driveway. The little guy has an accident when he hears a motorcycle drive by. It’s a reminder of the day his dad was killed. Marta returns home to find Luther doing a load of laundry. He’s washing her son’s pants, as Boris didn’t want anyone to know what happened. These two obviously have a special bond.
