Meltdown

Volchek becomes depressed over losing the hospital. Roger and Frank try to save Lynchboro by getting Volchek to realize he really is in control. Vinnie goes to Kousakis when he realizes the waste they're dumping is causing a hepatitis outbreak in a nearby school, then attacks Kousakis when he tells Vinnie to mind his own business. Vinnie tries to alert an official to the toxic waste, but it turns out the guy is corrupt and tells Kousakis to kill Vinnie. Feeling trapped, Vinnie kills the two gunmen sent to kill him, then flees into the night. Roger leaves, telling Frank to tell Vinnie they're now even.

Vinnie wirft Kousakis vor, Krankenhausabfälle illegal entsorgt und somit schwere Erkrankungen vieler Kinder verschuldet zu haben. Kousakis zeigt dafür aber wenig Verständnis. Er verprügelt Vinnie und lässt sogar dessen Uhr mitgehen. Die soll flugs im Pfandhaus verhökert werden. Kousakis hetzt daraufhin dem Agenten einen brutalen Schläger auf den Hals. Vinnie aber wehrt sich. (Text: Tele 5)
