uire them to relocate to Washington, D.C. Meanwhile, a man called Picasso (Matthew Fox) participates in an underground mixed martial arts match, where he flirts with businesswoman Fan Yau (Stephanie Jacobsen). After brutally beating his opponent, Picasso is invited to Fan Yau's house. There, he sedates, tortures, and kills her. Police captain Richard Brookwell (John C. McGinley) calls Cross and his partner, Tommy Kane (Edward Burns), to the crime scene. On the way there, Cross tells Kane about Maria's pregnancy and the FBI's offer, and Kane reveals that he is secretly dating their colleague, Monica Ashe (Rachel Nichols). Investigating Yau's murder, Cross deduces that Picasso is former military and a professional assassin. Cross finds a sketch left behind by Picasso revealing that his next target is a German businessman, Erich Nunemarcher (Werner Daehn). Cross, Kane and Ashe go to Nunemarcher's office, but he dismisses their claims. Picasso manages to enter the building, but is prevented from killing Nunemarcher by Cross, and escapes after being shot by Kane. Cross realizes the real target is billionaire CEO Giles Mercier (Jean Reno). Cross informs Mercier that Picasso might be trying to kill him. Meanwhile, as revenge for their earlier interference, Picasso attacks Ashe, sedating and beating her; and later murders Maria with a sniper shot, leading both Cross and Kane to swear revenge against him. Cross and Kane learn that Picasso is targeting Mercier at a conference and informs Brookwell, who isolates the area. Picasso avoids them by firing a bazooka from a moving train. Cross and Kane chase after Picasso and corner, deliberately crashing their car, blocking Picasso but injuring Kane. Cross chases Picasso in an abandoned theater. During their fight, they fall through the crumbling theater roof. Cross manages to hold on but with Picasso hanging from his leg. Picasso taunts him, Cross then knees him in his face yelling "DIE!" and Picasso falls to his death below, and Kane arrives just before Cross loses his grip. Cross eventually learns that Picasso's employer was Mercier himself. Having embezzled money from his clients, Mercier asked for Yau and Nunemarcher's help to fake his death and flee to Bali, and then hired Picasso to eliminate Yau, Nunemarcher and a double pretending to be the real Mercier. Cross is able to frame Mercier for drug smuggling and informs the local police. Mercier is arrested in Indonesia and condemned to death by firing squad. Having avenged Maria's murder, Cross decides to accept the FBI's offer and move to Washington with his family. Before he leaves, Kane reveals that he also applied for a job in the FBI. After expressing his hope that he and Cross will work together again one day, they part ways.
