Carter and Fusco arrive to investigate the shooting, and watch the video, which shows they have a witness. Also investigating is Organized Crime detective Bill Szymanski, who tells them that the victim was Benny D'Agostino, a former mob lieutenant with La Cosa Nostra. Szymanski explains that a mob war is currently raging, with half a dozen Russian mobsters having been recently killed by D'Agostino's crew. D'Agostino's boss is the mysterious Carl Elias, who shot at Carter previously. (“The Fix”) They review the video again, and can see D'Agostino says something to the witness, making it critical they find the witness before the Russians. The Machine has identified an unmarried high school history teacher named Charlie Burton, as Reese and Finch's next POI. They speculate why he might be in danger when Fusco calls him, asking for help finding a witness to a mob hit. He gives Reese a brief description on Burton, which Reese realizes matches the man he is watching. While Reese watches from across the street, an armed group of Russian mobsters pulls up outside of Burton's building. Reese sneaks inside and breaks into Burton's apartment. Reese warns Burton that he's in danger, and confirms that he is not one of the hitmen; Burton makes a quick decision to believe him when Reese points out he didn't attempt to kill Burton. Reese and Burton escape the apartment just moments before the Russians rush in, and make it out of the building. Reese fights one of the Russians in order to escape, causing Reese's cell phone to be damaged, and Burton doesn't have a phone. Reese and Burton attempt to steal a car; as they do, the mobsters open fire on them with automatic weapons, and Burton is shot in the shoulder. They head for a large building nearby protected by Bulgarian drug dealers.
