Plot: Crockett (Josh Holloway) and Tubbs (Taye Diggs) offer to help Castillo (Andy Garcia) find his wife, but Castillo is reluctant to take them off of their assigned cases. Crockett points out that if Lao Li is as powerful and dangerous as Castillo says, and if he has come to Miami to expand his business, and that if Castillo's wife is involved, then she is their business. Castillo relents, telling Crockett and Tubbs that Li would have likely been brought here by Dale Menton, Li's former CIA contact. Crockett and Tubbs find Menton (Jon Bon Jovi) at an Asian massage parlor and bring him in.
At OCB, Menton and Castillo reminisce about their days working in the Golden Triangle, the area where the borders of Thailand, Laos, and Myanmar meet. Castillo asks who was responsible when his DEA team was ambushed and wiped out. Menton reminds Castillo that the DEA agents in the area had specifically been ordered by the CIA to leave Lao Li's heorin alone, as his product was being financed by local politicians friendly to American interests. Castillo had refused to follow these orders. Menton then admits that he was the one who sold out Castillo's team, giving Lao Li their position and strength so that Li's men could hit them from behind. Enraged, Castillo grabs Menton by the throat and begins choking him. Crockett and Tubbs pull Castillo away and restrain him. Menton mockingly tells Castillo that he's no threat to anyone anymore. As he leaves, Menton writes Lao Li's contact information on the Vice board and tells him he's waiting for Castillo's call.
Castillo tells Crockett and Tubbs that he had set up an ambush to intercept one of Lao Li's convoys when they were attacked. Most of his men were killed in the attack. Castillo himself barely escaped with his life. Once Li learned that Castillo survived, his men destroyed his house with grenades. Castillo had been told that his wife died in the explosion. Crockett is shocked to learn that two American agencies would betray each other like that, but Castillo simply points out that the DEA and the CIA had different objectives in the region.
Castillo gets into a limo for a private meeting with Lao Li. Castillo orders him to leave Miami, but Li responds that he is there to retire and, as he has broken no laws in the city, Castillo can't touch him. Li gives Castillo his wife's address. Castillo points out that he only brought her to America to serve as an indirect hostage. Li responds that he has no intention of harming her as that would be against the law. Later at his home, Lao Li tells his family that until Castillo loses interest and moves on they must adhere to all local laws with the strictest adherence.
Castillo visits his wife, May Ying (Li Bingbing), and is shocked to find that she is now married to a man name Ma Sek (Russell Wong) and has a teenage son. She tells Castillo that her husband was offered a job with a textile firm in Miami, which is why they have moved there. Meanwhile, despite Lao Li's warning, his grandson (Rich Ting) visits a Thai restaurant owned by Chan Wong (Hoon Lee). The two are planning to start dealing drugs together. At OCB, Castillo orders the Vice squad to blanket Lao Li's family and track their every move, hoping they'll uncover some evidence of criminal activity, while he personally protects May Ying. In a meeting at Lao Li's house, Menton tells Li that Castillo's surveillance is nothing to worry about as long as his family adheres to the law. As Menton leaves, he finds Lao Li's grandson fitting a musical air horn to a new Lamborghini. Menton warns him against being so flashy, but the young man ignores him. The Vice squad have a team meeting over dinner. Castillo admits that he cannot justify dedicating all their time to one case, and tells them that if nothing breaks in the case in the next 24 hours they will all be returned to their regular assignments. Crockett asks what that means for Lao Li. Castillo says he will handle Lao Li on his own, even taking a leave from the police department if necessary. That night, Gina (Katrina Law) and Trudy (Megalyn Echikunwoke) find Izzy Lamont (Mike Epps) at a strip club and ask him if he's heard of any drugs coming in from Asia lately, but he doesn't have any information for them.
The next day, Switek (Brad William Henke) and Zito (Troy Garity) are driving the surveillance van down the street when they see Izzy hanging out in front of a burger place. They approach him and after a little convincing he tells them about a supply of China White courtesy of Chan Wong. At Wong's restaurant, Lao Li's grandson arrives with a sample of the product, leaving it as a gift. Sqitek and Zito pull up across the street just in time to see the grandson leave. They then head inside the restaurant and bring Wong in for questioning. At OCB, Wong, who faces a drug possession charge after Switek and Zito found the sample in his pocket, tells the Vice squad that a deal is going down that night. The team plans and executes a raid on the restaurant where Lao Li's grandson is arrested. Castillo personally goes to Lao Li's house to inform him that his grandson has been arrested for dealing heroin. Meanwhile, Crockett and Tubbs go to see Menton to inform him of the bust. He tells them to get out, but they inform him that they will be able to confiscate his assets because of his connection with Lao Li and his grandson. At May Ying's house, Castillo tells May and Ma Sek that the textile company Sek works for is actually a front for Lao Li's drug operation. He tells them how dangerous Lao Li is and that the police really need the two of them to cooperate. At OCB, Castillo orders Lao Li's grandson put back on the street instead of jail, much to the surprise of the squad.
Lao Li's goons quickly snatch the grandson and take him to a warehouse where Lao Li is waiting to hear an explanation for his actions. The grandson is defiant and wants to know why he can't run his own drug dealing operation. Li orders him to be killed. Switek and Zito's surveillance catches the execution order on tape and the Vice squad moves in as thugs start strangling the grandson. Lao Li, Menton and all of Li's gang are arrested. As he is led away, Menton threatens to call his friends in Washington, but Castillo tells him that he is in American, no Asia, and he has broken the law. His friends in Washington can't do anything to help him. Outside, Lao Li tells Castillo that he has respect for him, even if he is an adversary, and states that he hopes their relationship will continue in the future. Castillo doesn't respond. Later, Castillo puts May Ying, Ma Sek and their son on a plane back to Thailand. After the plane leaves, Crockett suggests that the squad all goes out for a drink. Castillo accepts, mentioning that in the months they've worked together, they've never gone out as friends.
