Plot: Crime boss Al Lombard (James Remar) is on his yacht having a discussion with his son Salvatore (Matthew Daddario) about his future. Salvatore wants to become an actor, disappointing Lombard who wanted his son to go to study law so that he could become someone of power. Crockett (Josh Holloway) and Tubbs (Taye Diggs) show up at Lombard's yacht to serve a subpoena for Lombard to testify at the trial of his rival Librizzi. In exchange for his testimony, they tell him that he will receive immunity from prosecution. Lombard congratulates them for trapping him, explaining to Salvatore that if he pleads the Fifth he will go to jail for contempt, but that if he testifies Librizzi will have him killed. He then asks Crockett and Tubbs to leave his yacht. Later, Lombard discusses the dilemma with his right-hand man Charlie Fusco (William DeMeo). He tells Charlie to sit down with Librizzi to tell him that he won't tell the cops anything.
Lt. Castillo (Andy Garcia) orders Switek (Brad William Henke) and Zito (Troy Garity) to keep close tabs on Lombard. He doesn't want him running and he doesn't want Librizzi's men taking him out. Charlie meets with Librizzi (Michael Imperioli) at a pizza place. He tries to assure Librizzi that Lombard isn't going to talk, but Librizzi is unconvinced and unwilling to take Lombard simply at his word. Librizzi offers to let Charlie take over Lombard's action if he takes him out of the picture. Switek and Zito are following Lombard to a restaurant when Lombard's car is shot up in a motorcycle drive-by. Switek and Zito rush Lombard to the hospital.
Crockett and Tubbs visit Lombard at the hospital to offer to put him into protective custody. Lomnard refuses, comparing protective custody to jail. He then gets up and checks himself out of the hospital. Lt. Castillo tells Crockett and Tubbs to stick near Lombard in case he needs help. Crockett isn't happy about the idea, thinking that if Lombard doesn't want their help they shouldn't give it, but agrees regardless.
On Lombard's yacht, Charlie pulls a gun on Lombard. Charlie explains that Librizzi will give him all of Lombard's territory if he kills him. Lombard closes his eyes, resigned to his fate when he hears gun shots. He opens his eyes and sees that Crockett and Tubbs have shot and killed Charlie before he could kill Lombard. Lombard thanks the officers and accepts their offer of protective custody since he's sick of almost being killed.
Crockett and Tubbs drive Lombard to an apartment complex on the outside of town. As they get out of the car, a truck pulls up in front of them and men with guns open fire. As Crockett and Tubbs fire back at the gunmen, Lombard slips away. Lombard turns up at his son Salvatore's college dorm room. He tells Salvatore that he was never a very good father but that he wants to start trying now. Salvatore wants Lombard to testify against Librizzi. Crockett and Tubbs find him and take him to Crockett's sailboat. Crockett and Tubbs inform Lombard that after the trial he will enter the witness protection program.
On the day of the trial, Lombard is called to the stand. Instead of testifying he clams up and pleads the Fifth. Salvatore leaves the courtroom, disappointed in his father. The judge orders Lombard to be remanded and jailed for contempt. Lombard posts bail and is released from the jail. He walks down the street, looking over his shoulder at every turn.
