Luke and Claire decide that the best course of action is to take Scarfe downtown to One Police Plaza, away from the influence of the 29th Precinct, where they can hand him off to district attorney, and get round-the-clock protection for Scarfe until he can testify against Cottonmouth. They do so by using a delivery van loaned to them by Claire's mother. With Luke driving, they make their way through the streets, narrowly missing several police checkpoints. Unbeknownst to them, Perez has tipped off Cottonmouth about what's happened at Scarfe's apartment, and Cottonmouth has ordered his men to sweep the streets.

While all this is going on, Mariah is doing her TV interview with Thembi Wallace. The interview starts pleasantly, with Thembi asking some questions first about her rivalry with fellow councilman Damon Boone, and about the housing projects. However, things turn south when Thembi begins to grill Mariah about some less pleasant topics, specifically, her connections to organized crime, and the recent attack on her offices at Crispus Attucks. Mariah ends the interview, claiming Thembi is trying to use the incident to bring her down and smear her, and has Alex remove the camera crew from the brownstone.

Luke, Claire, and Scarfe are eventually spotted in the Bowery by some of Cottonmouth's men. After a lengthy chase, they ditch the van and begin making their way through an adjacent building. After a lengthy game of cat-and-mouse, Luke is able to defeat all of the henchmen, taking out the last ones just as Misty arrives, having just figured out that Perez is dirty. Unfortunately, it's too late to save Scarfe, who lasts a few minutes long before expiring.

-->'''Captain Audrey:''' You're on the wrong side of the glass for that, baby girl. First Fisk, then Cottonmouth. This is ''huge''. But they're over there. And we're right here.
* HopeSpot: Cottonmouth's been arrested, his cousin's under the magnifying glass, one corrupt cop's dead, another is under arrest, and Luke is starting to relax and grow into his role as a hero. But the police are afraid of police corruption backlash and Misty is the only who can tie Cottonmouth to the councilwoman.

* ImmoralJournalist + IntrepidReporter: Thembi's interview with Mariah bounces between these because, yes, she's speaking truth to power, but she doesn't actually have anything on Mariah other than family connections and insinuations. Further, she ambushed Mariah in the middle of the interview with these insinuations rather than doing serious digging, which is the sort of thing that could tank an interview journalist's career since, while it would get good ratings once, it would guarantee you never get another interview again.
