The NYPD is on the lookout for a pair of car thieves who have stolen 16 Ferraris in the past two months. Danny rides around with one of his rookie officers, and they check parking garages for stolen cars. They find a red Ferrari with the engine still running; they then find that there is a dead girl in the boot. This was Michelle. A red light camera captured an image of this woman behind the wheel—she’s one of the elusive car thieves. She was killed because her and her sister didn’t give back his car as they had already sold the parts. Yanos killed Arthur and took Audrey(the other sister), and Nicole has been stealing cars out in the open. She fled to Brooklyn, and the team locates the garage where she and Michelle chopped Yanos’ Ferrari and distributed the parts. He didn’t just want a Ferrari, he wanted his stolen car back. Unfortunately, the girls didn’t know where the parts were, so they tried to trick him by stealing another red Ferrari and switching out the VIN. Yanos killed Michelle when he realized what they’d done, and Nicole has to get all of the parts back if she ever wanted to see Audrey alive again. The team sets Yanos up and arrests him when he comes for the car, and they find Audrey nearby, tied up but alive. When they reassemble Yanos’ car back at the lab, they discover a hidden compartment containing passports and other identification needed for Yanos to take a new identity.
