In 1947, Pat Patton, now teamed with Tracy and Tess Trueheart, investigates the disappearance of his brother who has gone missing from Itchy and Pruneface's construction site. Tracy and Patton (now deputized) pull a raid on Itchy but find not the expected drugs but building materials. Shoulders and his goons ride up, tommy guns blazing, and execute both cops and Itchy's men as a warning from Lips Manlis. Tess finds Mumbles dead despite being in police protective custody. Given these events, Tracy begins to suspect a spy within the department. Flattop guns down Junky, another Manlis associate.
