Horatio is quick on the scene when an armored truck carrying $3.2 million is robbed in a daring downtown heist. During the holdup, the driver is killed and Horatio guns down one of the two thieves. The other escapes with the loot, but the money turns out to be counterfeit. The team must figure out what happened to the bank's money before it was replaced with fake bills. Making the day even worse for Horatio, Yelina spies him with his niece and assumes the girl is his illegitimate child, not her own late husband's daughter.moreless

A armoured car got robbed right in front of where Horatio was at with his brother's ex-girlfriend. The money bags had trackers in them and they followed the man The money stolen was counterfeit from Iraq. He had to fake the money because his little sister would die if he didn't get the ransom to the man. The girl could still be alive because they was under 1 pint of blood on the floor. The little sister planted the blood and was stealing the money with the bank owner... This episode was just a little boring to me. But I found out about the little girlmoreless

This episode was a little boring, maybe it's because I missed the beginning so it took me a while to understand what was going on. And I guessed right away that the sister was setting up her brother.

It was nice to see that Ray's lover & daughter are back in Miami. Thats going to be an interesting storyline. And what was more interesting was when Yelina saw Horatio with his neice, if only she knew the truth. And I have a feeling that she'll find out one day.

I loved the scene at the end when she was talking to her late husbands daughter, and came face to face with his lover. Probably the best part of the episode.moreless

- Goof: Suzy tells Horatio that Madison was worried about him because she saw the blood on his shirt, yet if you look he doesn't have any on him.

- Goof: About ten minutes in, they've caught the bank robber. They show Horatio with his gun on the man as he's laying on the ground, then a shot of Speed putting on his latex gloves. Speed opens the bag with his gloved hands to show the money inside. The camera pulls out and we get an overhead shot – of the already open bag as Horatio is walking away from the suspect – and Speed putting a latex glove on his bare left hand.
