Plot: In Bucharest, Romania, a bus full of women and children is stopped by an SUV full of gunmen, who snatch all of the babies. One of the mothers, Tatyana (Veronika Vernadskaya), tries to escape but is caught and her baby is taken. When she tries to get the baby back, the gunman knocks her out.
In Miami, Crockett (Josh Holloway) and Tubbs (Taye Diggs) are waiting for a small plane to arrive at a isolated airport outside the city. They received a tip that the plane will contain contraband. When the plane lands, Crocket, Tubbs, Switek (Brad William Henke) and Zito (Troy Garity) swarm the plane. The pilot and co-pilot open fire on the Vice Squad, but are killed in the shootout. When the squad investigates the plane, an unconscious Tatyana falls out of a hatch on the plane. When the squad investigates the rumored crates of contraband on the plane, they find that the crates are full of babies, some of which are dead. Crocket immediately calls for medical assistance for the babies.
In the hospital, Gina (Katrina Law) and Trudy (Megalyn Echikunwoke) attempt to interview Tatyana, but she is hysteric. They manage to get her name and where she's from, before Tatyana passes out again. The doctor tells them that she had been stowed away in the unheated, unpressurized cargo hatch of the plane on the trans-Atlantic flight. When she wakes up again she explains that her baby was taken. Immigation and Customs (ICE) agents arrive to take Tatyana into custody. Gina and Trudy try to stop them and explain that they need to find her baby, but they are uninterested. While they take her away, Tatyana tells them that her baby has a birthmark on its left shoulder.
At OCB, Castillo (Andy Garcia) tells the squad that he will do what he can about ICE, but doesn't want them involved in the case, suggesting they turn it over to the FBI. Gina and Trudy want to follow up and check on who's behind this smuggling ring. Castillo gives the squad two days to figure out what they can before he turns over everything they have to the feds. Crockett and Tubbs try to track the plane, but it isn't registered and the pilots didn't have any identification. Switek and Zito check Social Services for any paperwork on recent Bosian adoptions, while Crockett and Tubbs decide to contact the consulate to coordinate with them.
At the Romanian consulate, Crockett and Tubbs speak with the consul Ivan Tabakov (Yuri Kolokolnikov) and asks to see what adoption records the consulate has. Tabakov insists that he would need his government's approval to hand over any such documents. After Crockett and Tubbs leave, Tabakov makes a phone call. At Social Services, Switek and Zito are referred to speak to Angela Mitchell (Elizabeth Mitchell), the normal contact at the office for European adoptions, but she is out of the office. The office manager offers to print out a report of any adoptions that match the profile of Tatyana's baby. The report lists over one hundred babies that fit the profile. Zito notices that almost all of the adoptions were handled by the same lawyer, listed only by a number on the list. They ask the office manager who the lawyer is, and she gives them the contact information of the lawyer, Howard Koenig.
Gina and Trudy go to the house of one of the names on the adoption list and talk to Steven March (Neil Hopkins), who tells them that they worked with Koenig to adopt their first child, but that child had a genetic disease and died. He tell them that Koenig then adopted another baby to them, but demanded $50,000 for handling the transaction. March tells them that if they ever need anyone to testify against Koenig, he would gladly since he thinks Koenig is a scum bag for trying to extort he and his wife.
At OCB, Switek and Zito are able to link Koenig with over one hundred other adoptions and discover that he won't take on new clients without a financial statement. Catillo agrees to bug Koenig's phone, despite the lack of evidence of a crime being committed. Castillo also announces that he has managed to get Tatyana released as long as she is in their custody. Zito thinks he has found a match for Tatyana's baby. Gina and Trudy take Tatyana to see the baby, where Tatyana immediately recognizes the child as her own. The adoptive mother, Moira Kaine (Dina Meyer) asks the detectives to leave.
Having supplied a fake financial statement to Koenig's office, Crockett and Tubbs pose as a gay couple looking to secure Koenig's services to help them adopt a child. They are taken into his office where they finally meet Howard Koenig (Enrico Colantoni). He begins discussing the adoption procedure when his phone rings. He apologizes to Crockett and Tubbs, but tells them that he has to cut their meeting short due to an urgent matter regarding one of his adoptions.
Angela Mitchell finally returns to the office and the office manager fills her in on the visit from Switek and Zito and them telling her about the planeload of babies. Mitchell becomes defensive, denying any knowledge of such a situation, and is upset with the manager for cooperating so freely with the police. Mitchell calls Koenig, requesting to meet on the beach. The call is intercepted by Switek and Zito, who are listening in on the call from a surveillance van. They then trail Koenig to the beach in the van. At the beach, Koenig tells Mitchell to keep her mouth shut and that he will take care of any of the parents who cooperate with the police by threatening to have their kids taken away by Mitchell. Switek and Zito are having trouble with their mics in the van and are unable to pick up the conversation being had. Koenig tells Mitchell that he will stop by her houes that night to finish the discussion before walking away. That night Koenig pulls up to Mitchell's house. He shoots her in the head as soon as she answers the door. He then runs out to his car, and pulls the dead body of Ivan Tabakov out of his trunk and drags it into Mitchell's house. Once they hear about the dead bodies of Tabakov and Mitchell, Crockett and Tubbs race to Koenig's house where they find him rushing out of the house and into his car. They chase his car through a rich neighborhood in the Miami suburbs. Koenig drives his car onto a golf course, where Crockett chases after him, until Koenig crashes his car into a sand trap next to the 18th green. Tubbs races out of the car to place Koenig under arrest, but before he can, Koenig shoots himself in the head. Gina and Trudy take Tatyana to the airport and return her baby to her. Tatyana thanks them for all their help and boards a plane to head back home.
