rizzoli & isles
rizzoli receives a call from cecille learning that zack had cut his wrist and was in the hospital. cecille asks rizzoli to meet her at the hospital where she reveals who she bought the drugs from and that her supplier, denny mifflin, will be making a pickup from his suppliers nova and skinner at kroll plaza. rizzoli and jiminez head to kroll plaza and are spotted by kroll's security team. rizolli and jiminez are watching mifflin and rizolli orders jiminez to get the drugs away from some kids that they spotted mifflin selling to. when jiminez gets the drugs from the kids he is knocked out by one of kroll's security men. when kroll is alerted to rizzoli's presence, marshak who is with kroll notices nova and skinner entering the plaza. kroll orders one of his men to take out nova and skinner and then orders marshak to take out rizzoli. rizzoli meanwhile notices nova, skinner, mifflin and his bodyguard, frankenstein meeting together in a mall store to discuss drug distribution and follows them into the store. rizzoli is followed into the store by kroll's security team with their guns drawn. just as rizzoli is about to bust nova, skinner, mifflin and frankenstein she is accosted by marshak who warns her it is a wipeout in which all five of them are going to be killed. rizzoli then punches marshak, which frightens nova, skinner, mifflin and frankenstein. when running in the store, frankenstein is grabbed by one of the security guards. he then stabs him in the stomach. the security guard falls to the ground knocking over a rack of clothes. frankenstein then is grabbed by kroll's bodyguard, eddie and is shot three times in the stomach. frankenstien slashes eddie's arm with his switchblade, forcing him to back off, but dies seconds later while calling to mifflin for help. rizzoli then shoots mifflin after he fires at her. rizzoli and the security guards pursuit nova and skinner, who open fire in the mall, killing several guards and eddie, and then retreat into a sporting goods store, followed by another of kroll's men and three surviving guards. nova and skinner race to the back of the store and shoot the fuse boxes, cutting the main power to the store lights (but the emergency lights come on seconds after). rizzoli cautiously makes her way through the store, but the security guards get the drop on her, but she is inadvertently saved by nova and skinner when they gun the guards down. a short gun fight ensues between rizzoli and the two men, but she runs out of ammunition. nova and skinner try to move in and finish her off, but she manages to give them the slip long enough to break into a gun cabinet and get a shotgun and some bullets. after rizzoli kills kroll's other bodyguard who was poised to ambush her from above and takes his gun, the shelf he was standing on collapses on her and skinner prepares to kill her; at the last minute, however, marshak appears and guns him down. nova wounds marshak before he, in turn, is wounded by rizzoli, and retreats from the store. rizzoli pursues nova and runs into kroll, who is about to kill her when nova jumps out of a hiding place and kills him. rizzoli follows nova into a parking garage and shoots him several times, apparently unable to injure him. after nova reveals to rizzoli he was wearing a bullet-proof vest this whole time rizolli pulls out a gun she stole from the dead guard and shoots nova in the throat, killing him.
