As a result of their chaotic pursuit, the NYPD suspends Jimmy and Paul without pay for thirty days. This suspension adds pressure to their personal lives, as both actors cope with their own dilemmas.

Jimmy is further stressed out by his daughter Ava’s upcoming wedding, which carries a hefty price tag of fifty thousand dollars. His ex-wife Pam offers assistance, complicating matters with her remarks about alimony.

To raise some quick cash, Jimmy decides to sell a valuable 1952 baseball card. Unfortunately, he ends up being robbed by a man named Dave, who makes off with the prized possession, deepening Jimmy’s financial troubles.

Simultaneously, the drug lord Poh Boy is introduced as a menacing figure in the East Coast drug trade. His methods of retaliation against betrayal include using Paul’s stolen gun, bringing further danger to the duo's investigation.

As Jimmy and Paul learn about a major robbery scheduled for the same night, they plot to stake it out. Their goal is to recover Jimmy's stolen baseball card while uncovering the drug trade operations linked to Poh Boy.

The confrontation with Juan escalates during the robbery stakeout. It culminates in a showdown that ultimately leads to Juan's demise, bringing closure to one of the threads in their chaotic tale.

In the aftermath of the confrontation, Jimmy and Paul discover a kidnapped woman named Gabriela in the trunk of the vehicle. This discovery forces them to confront Poh Boy, as a hefty bounty is placed on her return.

A botched rescue attempt at Poh Boy's hideout leads to an explosive shootout. The chaos tests Jimmy and Paul's relationship as they navigate through treachery and misfortune to save Gabriela.
