With a shoe print as his crucial clue, Wylie works quickly to identify which of the four men is the killer before anyone else can flee the scene.

As Max and Mickey surrender to police for protection, Terino finds himself hunted by every gang in the city, every cop on the street, and nowhere left to run.
