A police convoy headed across town includes an unmarked truck filled with confiscated drugs being taken to an incinerator to be destroyed. The trip ends abruptly when thieves hijack the vehicle, kill its driver and shoot Speedle, who was riding shotgun.

But it's worse for his team when Internal Affairs decides that one of them tipped off the robbers about the delivery.
