Synopsis:
Deadshot is contacted by his ex-wife who tells him that his son has been kidnapped. Floyd visits attorney Philip Schale whom he believes is linked to the kindapping. Deadshot wounds Schale, then leaves. At the hospital, Schale tells his assistant to have the boy moved. Outside, Deadshot confronts the assistant, Andy Haskell, and gets him to reveal the location where his son is being held.

Meanwhile, Marnie Herrs is trying to learn everything she can about Floyd's past. Her quest has already gotten her suspended from her job. She questions Floyd's father who has disowned his son because Floyd is suspected of having killed his own brother, Eddie.
