Finch goes to an ATM across the street from Charlie’s apartment and reroutes the camera, and
then limps away as Carter and Fusco arrives. Szymanski brings them up to speed on Charlie’s
escape, and Carter recognizes Reese from his description. A witness got a photo of the man in
charge, Peter Yogorov, Ivan’s son. Carter has a cop with a facial scar run down Peter’s location.
Meanwhile, Finch returns to the library and accesses the ATM footage of the shootout. Once
Reese and Charlie escape, Finch sees footage of the scarface cop getting into a SUV outside
Charlie’s building, He then makes a voice-filtered call to Fusco and tells him to run the license
plate on the SUV.
Peter and his brother, Laszlo, arrive at the tenement. Laszlo is eager to go in, but Peter warns
that they have a deal with the Bulgarians to stay out of each other’s turf. They surround the
building and wait for Charlie to come outside. Meanwhile, Charlie starts to slip into shock and
asks Reese how he got involved in protecting people. Reese avoids the question and asks Charlie
if he always wanted to be a teacher. The teacher explains that a lot of his students are affiliated
with the Russian Mob and he’s tried to give them a different life. Reese tells Charlie to stay put
while he goes to get some antibiotics for Charlie’s wound.
Finch meets with Fusco on the street, and the detective confirms that the van belongs to a
shell company and it’s a dead-end. The programmer tells him that Elias is also after Charlie for
the message that Benny passed on. Finch tells him to report the SUV from outside Charlie’s
apartment as stolen and email the report number to an address. As Finch leaves, Fusco asks
him if he’s heard from Reese and Finch admits that he hasn’t.
Reese confronts two of the drug dealers in the tenement and asks for their drugs. When they
come after him, Reese easily subdues them and takes what he needs.
Carter and Fusco go over the case with Szymanski, who figures that Ivan may have been at
the bodega to avenge his brother’s death in person. Elias is always one step ahead of the Russian
Mob and the police, and Szymanski wonders why the mobster is interested in Brighton Beach.
Carter shows him the file on Carl Elias and they figure that he’s come back to clean up the
neighborhood that his birth father ran before he died, and claim his birthright.
Reese treats Charlie with cocaine and glue and the teacher thanks him for everything that
he’s done. Once he’s done, Reese offers Charlie a gun to use in case of emergency. The teacher
reluctantly takes it and wonders if they can get out, and Reese says that their odds are better
now that they have Charlie patched up.
Peter and Laszlo meet with the Bulgarian dealer and offer to take out Reese and Charlie
and take care of the Bulgarian’s problem. He agrees and they go inside. Meanwhile, Reese has
Charlie put on a coat and then tries to find a live phone wire in the walls. As Reese works,
Charlie wonders why he’s taken such a risky career choice and Reese points out that he sounds
like Finch. He then calls Finch and tells him where he is, and Finch brings up the city blueprints
and finds two service entrances. Reese tells Finch to have Fusco meet them at the ferry the next
morning at 7 a.m.
