Matt Parkman, suspended from the police, gets a job in private security. He is assigned to protect Aron Malsky, who is visiting Los Angeles to buy diamonds with $2 million stolen from his former employer, Mr. Linderman (apparently, the same $2 million that Jessica previously stole and D.L. Hawkins returned to Malsky). Linderman has employed Jessica as an assassin assigned to kill Malsky. With Matt's power, he manages to take Malsky through a chase through the Diamond District building. Matt overhears Niki and Jessica arguing and thinks that "two" women are involved. He traps Jessica in a stairwell and asks of Niki's whereabouts. Jessica, surprised that he knows about Niki, says that she is off killing Malsky. Matt leaves her handcuffed to a railing and searches for Malsky; just as Matt finds Malsky, who has hidden the diamonds, Jessica shows up and throws Matt through a high-level window. He lands on a large sign outside - after an indeterminate time he goes back inside, only to find the grisly remains of Malsky, torn in half. Matt remembers Malsky's thoughts earlier, follows them to the diamonds and, upon hearing an officer's scornful thoughts about how he will never be allowed back on the police force, decides to keep them.
