Growing frustrated Bob begins to build his own cases against the 1st Ward and the Chicago outfit. He wears a wire on Pat Marcy and hatches a plan to bring down Johnny D'Arco Junior by passing legislation for a bribe. There's also a sting operation that goes sideways in Wisconsin when Bob and the FBI set up some mobsters with the opportunity to rob a 1 million dollar poker game.
