Harry brings his kids to work and takes the day off from Checkmate, little realizing that one of his Knights has gone rogue to try and find a connection between the Italian mob and a Texas smuggling operation.

Reed thinks about problems his smart mouth has gotten him into in the past as he continues to train to be a Checkmate Knight.
