Episode Overview
Gangster Jack Wellman is orchestrating a scheme to infiltrate politics by eliminating certain politicians and replacing them with allies of the Syndicate. The team disguises themselves as caterers to execute their plan. Cinnamon manages to sneak into Wellman's room, blows a hole in the wall, and places a decoy safe. Meanwhile, Barney and Willy infiltrate the actual vault from behind and attempt to grab the $4 million in cash Wellman is meant to share with his mob associates during a dinner that evening. However, when they access the vault, they find the money missing. They head upstairs to find Cinnamon, who poses as Wellman's girlfriend, claiming she knew things would go wrong and reveals the fake safe. As Cinnamon and the team make their exit, the other mobsters pressure Wellman to open the safe, threatening him when he insists he has no idea what they're talking about.
