Beethoven: Symphony No. 4

With Henry Cole’s wedding day fast approaching, he continues to be dogged by Frank Lutz, the criminal accomplice from a past he’d just as soon forget. While continuing to harass Cole, Lutz shows up at Walsh’s diner intent on silencing him like he did the late Leo Kowalski. However, when Walsh senses something wrong, Lutz escapes in the ensuing gun battle, but not before a stray bullet pierces the wall and seriously injures Beaumont, who’s in the adjacent apartment’s bedroom. Meanwhile, as the detectives of the Second Precinct await word on Beaumont’s condition at the hospital, Delahoy and Alvarez are sent to investigate a robbery onboard a city bus by a suspect armed with a hand grenade.

As Walsh struggles with seeing his girlfriend in the hospital, a sketch artist’s rendering makes it clear to Cole that Lutz is the suspect. Unaware that Walsh knows there’s a connection between him and Navan Granger, Cole sets out to put an end to Lutz’s crime spree. And once Casey’s investigation identifies Lutz as the shooter, Cole has no time to lose. Meanwhile, Banks not only worries after self-proclaimed psychic Jennifer Goodman correctly predicts another bus robbery, but becomes paranoid when she notes that the number 42 – Banks’ age – is tied to his fate. But when Jennifer predicts her own death on the next bus that’s robbed, Banks sets out to stop her from getting onboard. Meanwhile, when Lutz offers to leave him alone for $20,000, Cole looks to raise the cash by taking it from drug bust money in the precinct’s evidence room.

Having concluded that Cole and Lutz were once partners in crime back in Texas, Walsh surreptitiously plants a tracking device on Cole so he can follow him. Telling Brown that Lutz had no connection to Kowalski’s murder, Casey then joins her partner at the rendezvous with Lutz. And as Lutz is about to kill Cole, Walsh and Casey’s sudden arrival provides a distraction that allows Cole to kill his tormentor. Finally, after Walsh tells Cole that he intends to keep Cole’s unseemly past a secret, Banks is stunned learn that Jennifer died in a bus crash – even though he kept her from dying on the ill-fated M42 bus as she predicted.
