Synopsis:
While Harry Stein is in Washington to testify before a Senate committee, Harvey Bullock takes command of Checkmate. Their current mission is to gather evidence of Victor Cypher's criminal operations. When conventional means fail, Checkmate sends Winston O'Donnell and Sir Lionel undercover to meet directly with Cypher. Their cover is quickly blown, and they come under fire from Cypher's armed strike team. During the battle, Bishop arrives to turn up the heat.
