Crawford's investigation continues for three years, and now he is in charge of the Asian Organized Crime Unit. As Crawford's investigation unfolds, it becomes clear that Rogue is working on both sides in an age-old feud between the Japanese Yakuza boss, Shiro (Ryo Ishibashi), and the Chinese Triad mob leader, Chang (John Lone). Now, Rogue does not appear to be what he seems, and Crawford must figure why Rogue appears to be playing one side against the other.
