Plot:Lt. Martin Castillo (Andy Garcia) calls in to have Sonny Crockett (Josh Holloway) and Ricardo Tubbs (Taye Diggs) join him at a marina where they have found a floater. When they arrive, Castillo tells them that the body has been identified as Walter Avery, the owner of a tech company who opened up a new location in Lauderdale that was supposed to be a co-venture with a Japanese corporation. Crockett asks what that all has to do with Vice, and Castillo explains that Avery's associates allegedly have ties with the Yakuza, and organized crime is within the pervue of Vice. Police Commissioner Hank Wallace (Lance Reddick) and Homicide Sergeant Haskell (Steven Ogg) hold a press conference where they say they will find Avery's killer. They then meet with Castillo at the morgue, who tells them they have no leads yet. Wallace is concerned how this case will affect his campaign for Mayor of Miami. All they have so far is that Avery was drowned in fresh water then dumped in the salt water bay. Haskell wants to write the case off as Avery getting drunk and falling into the water, but Wallace tells Castillo that he has 48 hours to figure things out before he turns it over to Haskell and the homicide department.
Castillo, Crockett, Tubbs, Switek (Brad William Henke) and Zito (Troy Garity) start reviewing information on Tanaka, a Japanese businessman who recently did business with Avery. Castillo tells the team that Tanaka has been linked to the Yakuza on several occasions, and tells Crockett and Tubbs to check out Avery's offce for any ties to Tanaka. When Crockett and Tubbs arrive they find the place ransacked and the security guard dead. They spot on a security monitor that two men are exiting through the rear door. Crockett and Tubbs give chase and a gunfight breaks out on the street outside. Suddenly a car speeds by, shooting one thug down and chasing the other off. Crockett surveys the scene and finds a business card for Kenji Fujitsu, private investigator. Tubbs wonders what a Japanese PI is doing in Miami. Later at the scene, Castillo confirms the Yakuza's involvement after viewing the dead body since it has their tattoo on his body.
Tanaka (George Takei) informs Agawa (James Saito) that Fujitsu has made his men look foolish once again and they need to show some force to save face. The surviving thug atones for humiliating the Yakuza by cutting off his own pinky finger.
Crockett and Tubbs head to OCB where Castillo has gathered information on Fujitsu and explains that Fujitsu used to be a highly decorated police officer in Tokyo until he attacked a businessman named Agawa without provocation. He's been a ghost ever since until now. With the clock ticking, Castillo tells everyone to focus the investigation on the Yakuza rather than try to track down Fujitsu. Castillo tells the team that his government contacts have informed him that the Yakuza run a series of brothels in Miami and assigns Gina Calabrese (Katrina Law) and Trudy Joplin (Megalyn Echikunwoke) to try to infiltrate one as an employee. Commissioner Wallace arrives at OCB and tells Castillo that his 48 hours are up. Castillo requests two more days, claiming his hunch on the case could lead to a lot of publicity for the department and Wallace's mayoral run. Wallace gives Castillo 48 more hours, but no more.
Gina and Trudy manage to get in to see Agawa at a club about an ad for jobs while Fujitsu watches from his car and Tubbs and Crockett watch from Crockett's Ferrari. Agawa gives Trudy and Gina an audition and has them dance on stage. While they dance Haskell meets with Agawa for a pay-off, but recognizes Gina and Trudy and informs Agawa. Yakuza thugs then tie up Gina and Trudy in the club. Agawa then has them tie up Haskell as well. Switek and Zito are outside in their surveillance van with Castillo when Commissioner Wallace shows up as well so that he can get in the bust for the publicity. Castillo has Switek turn on the feed from Trudy's microphone and they all overhear Haskell trying to negotiate with Agawa. Crockett and Tubbs decide to enter the club. They witness Fujitsu (Hiro Kanagawa) killing some of Agawa's Yakuza thugs. Crockett and Tubbs untie Gina and Trudy, and Fujitsu escapes.
Late that night, Castillo is visited at his home by Fujitsu. Castillo asks Fujitsu what side he's on. Fujitsu explains that he is on the side of justice. He says that Agawa used to be a friend of his before he joined up with the Yakuza. Together they hatch a plan. Castillo goes to see Tanaka and Agawa and brings them Fujitsu. Tanaka wants Fujitsu killed and have it set up like he was the one who murdered Avery. Agawa confronts Fujitsu and asks if he wants to end this. Fujitsu nods. Agawa then gets out two samurai swords, giving one to Fujitsu. Crockett and Tubbs enter the building to find Fujitsu and Agawa in a full-blown samurai sword fight and are baffled at what to do. Fujitsu gains the upperhand and is about to land the killing blow on Agawa when Castillo tells him to stop. Castillo tells him that he can't let him murder Agawa and places Agawa under arrest. During the fight, Tanaka went upstairs. Castillo, Fujitsu, Crockett and Tubbs all go upstairs to find him. They find Tanaka's dead body with a sword through his abdomen. Fujitsu tells them that Tanaka has committed seppuku in an attempt to restore his honor.
