Detailed Synopsis
May 29, 1981, in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Horatio is walking as a group of Punks are driving and riding skateboards behind a car. The car appears to be break down and as the Punks start pushing it, Horatio helps them. As they are pushing it to the Texpark, the Car Owner runs towards them and yells that it's his car. The Punks then leave the car and run away. Horatio stays behind and the Car Owner runs up to him and threatens to have Horatio arrested. The car starts rolling away and rolls into another car and the Car Owner jumps into his car and drives away. Chester is trying to pull his motorcycle up to his apartment using ropes and pulleys when he is lifted into the air by the weight of the motorcycle. Horatio then helps Chester get down and they pull the motorcycle up. Goose is placing barbed wire around his house when Goose's Wife tells him she made sandwiches. Goose goes to eat a sandwich, but then gets mad when he finds out Goose's Wife gave their children the last of the butter. Goose's Wife goes to her pottery wheel and Goose turns on the television which has a news report on the Halifax Police strike. Goose builds a makeshift weapon made of wood, sheet metal and nails. The news report continues that many bars and clubs have shut their doors for the evening in fear of potential lawless elements. Rosie drives up to Goose's house and starts honking his horn. As Goose is about to leave, Goose's Wife doesn't believe that he and the boys are going to a bar as everything is probably closed. She accuses him of going to do something bad with Cabe and when she doesn't get out of Goose's way, he destroys all of her pottery. Goose and Rosie then leave to pick up the rest of the boys.
Goose, Rosie, Clark, Lloyd, and Ian drive to a location and park the car. They get out and grab weapons from the trunk and walk down to a bar called The Crypt. They enter the bar and the Clubmembers and Bartender look at them warily. Goose walks up to the radio near the Bartender and turns off the music and then grabs the Bartender and calls him a disease. Clark calls the Clubmembers slurs and he and Rosie start grabbing at the female Clubmembers and when the Bartender tries to use the phone, Goose grabs it away and throws it. Goose calls the Bartender a slur and then demands a drink. As the Bartender is making Goose a drink, one of the Clubmembers tries to leave, but he is forcibly stopped by Lloyd who knocks him to the ground. Goose, Clark and Lloyd then start kicking and spitting on the Clubmember as Daniel tells them to leave him alone. Goose shows the Clubmembers his armband which has the letter N.O. and says they are members of the New Order and they better leave the area or else. The Bartender grabs a hidden gun and points it at Goose and tells them to leave. Lloyd hits the gun out of the Bartender's hand and Goose repeatedly slams the Bartender's head into the ground. The Bartender is thrown onto a table and as Goose tries to shove a crystal rod into the Bartender's rectal area, the Bartender falls off the table and onto a broken bottle, killing him.
When Goose and the others realize the Bartender is dead, the Clubmembers call Goose and the others murderers while Ian starts to panic. Ian thinks they should call Cabe and Clark agrees. Cabe drives to the club and when he enters the club, all the Clubmembers are zip tied with duct tape covering their mouths. Ian tells Cabe what happened, and Goose thinks they don't have to worry as no one will believe the word of the Clubmembers. Cabe tells the others to go outside and then pulls a gun out of a case he brought with him. Daniel grabs a pocketknife from his pocket and starts cutting the zip ties around his wrists. Cabe starts systematically shooting the Clubmembers in the back of the head as Goose laughs, and as Cabe reloads his gun, Daniel manages to escape out of the club. He runs away and hides in a women's restroom in an empty building and when Ian finds the window open in the women's restroom, he tells the others that Daniel must have already escaped. As Goose and the others are arguing outside the women's restroom, Daniel climbs out the window and again starts running. While Chester is looking out his window with binoculars, he sees Daniel being chased by Goose and the others. Horatio and Barbara are watching over Patrick and Steve when Mrs. Fanshaw calls and asks when Patrick and Steve are going to return to the School of the Blind. Both Patrick and Steve hear people running in the distance.
Daniel starts banging on Horatio's door and they let him in. He tells them that Goose and the others tried to kill him, and they killed the Clubmembers. Goose knocks on the door and when Horatio opens it, tells him that they are looking for an escaped lunatic. Goose warns Horatio not to get involved and then he and Lloyd try to barge their way in, but Horatio pushes them out. Goose keeps on banging on the door and Barbara at first wants to hand Daniel over to them. Goose knocks the door in, but Horatio points a rifle at his head and tells him to leave. Goose leaves, but again threatens Horatio. As Goose and the others are leaving the building, Andre opens his door and tells Goose what a nice day it is, and Goose pushes him to the ground. As they are walking away, Goose tells Clark and Rosie to look to make sure Daniel doesn't leave the apartment building, while he calls Cabe. Barbara calls 911 but is put on hold due to the police strike. Horatio asks Daniel who he is and what happened. Chester climbs through the skylights to the roof and into his apartment building to get his binoculars. Goose calls Cabe and tells him that they have Daniel cornered. Horatio asks Daniel how many of the N.O. members were at The Crypt, but Daniel has a hard time remembering. Both Patrick and Steve say they heard five people's footsteps following Daniel. Cabe drives up and Lloyd says no one lives in the area besides those in the apartment building as the area is part of his police district. Cabe opens his trunk and starts handing out rifles with silencers and tells Ian he is point man.
Horatio says he doesn't think anyone should leave and Chester thinks the N.O will attack. Lloyd tells Cabe that someone is using the skylights to go from one apartment to another. Barbara says she is leaving, and Steve tells Patrick they should be getting back to the School of the Blind. Goose yells out that they can keep Daniel and then walks into the shadows and Clark cuts the phone lines to the building. Chester hands Horatio a bow through the medicine cabinets connecting their apartments. Steve insists on leaving so he doesn't miss his dessert privileges at the school. As Andre is putting out his trash, Steve is walking out of the building. When Andre goes back into the building, Goose, Clark and Rosie shoot Steve dead. Clark and Ian then dump Steve's body in the nearby harbor. Horatio tells Barbara that Steve is gone and Barbara decides to leave too and tries to get Patrick to leave with her. As Barbara is about to leave for Jude's house, Horatio asks her to wait to see if Jude is home. Horatio tries to make a phone call and realizes the phone lines are cut and runs to warn Barbara, who has also discovered blood at the building entrance. Horatio yells at Patrick to stay away from the windows and tells Chester that they found blood at the building entrance. Patrick listens for the sound of Steve's footprints and tells Barbara that Steve is dead. Patrick hears Lloyd communicating with Cabe using walkie-talkies. As Chester is about to use the skylight, Lloyd starts shooting at him. Horatio quickly warns Chester about Lloyd using a sniper position. Chester then crawls through the medicine cabinet into Horatio's apartment.
Chester has Daniel saw part of a pvc pipe and Horatio and Chester come up with a plan to defend themselves. Lloyd contacts Cabe and tells him that he thinks he killed one of the apartment building inhabitants. The N.O throw tear gas through the window and then start shooting at the apartment. Chester gives Horatio a gas mask, and Horatio throws the tear gas canister out the window. Chester goes downstairs and booby traps the building door. Cabe radios Lloyd and tells him to shoot at people who come near the windows while the others come through the front door. Horatio has Barbara use a broken piece of mirror to look to see if anyone is coming and before he leaves to guard the other part of the apartment, they kiss. Barbara sees members of the N.O. going through the other entrance to the building and tells Horatio, who warns Chester. Patrick hears the members of the N.O. entering the stairs near Chester's apartment. Daniel holds a bag outside the skylight to get Lloyd's attention who starts shooting at the bag. Chester then uses a makeshift mortar tube to fire a shrapnel rocket at Lloyd. Horatio then goes and holds a bag outside the skylight and after nothing happens, tells Chester he thinks Lloyd is dead. Goose and the others enter Chester's apartment and start shooting randomly around the apartment. Lloyd, who is only injured, tries to contact Cabe, but his radio is broken. Goose tells Cabe that there is no one in Chester's apartment and Cabe tells them to attack the other side of the building. Rosie stays behind while Goose and the others leave Chester's apartment.
Patrick tells Horatio that one person stayed behind in Chester's apartment and Horatio, Chester and Daniel ambush Rosie and kill him with an arrow. Goose, Clark and Ian go back into Chester's apartment and find Rosie dead and tell Cabe. Clark and Ian go back downstairs while Goose stays behind and when Horatio tries to ambush, Goose, the rifle misfires and Goose starts wildly firing into Horatio's apartment through the medicine cabinet. Chester uses a mirror to try and locate Goose, and Goose shoots the mirror and the shrapnel hits Chester in the hand. Clark stays behind while Goose and Ian leave Chester's apartment. As Goose and Ian are walking by Andre's apartment, Andre opens his door and Goose shoots him dead. Ian and Goose charge through Horatio's apartment and Clark accidentally shoots Ian dead, and Clark in turn is shot dead by Horatio. Goose runs to the building entrance and is electrocuted to death by a trap left by Chester. Horatio checks the bodies of the N.O. and tells the others that the battle is over. Horatio, Barbara and Patrick celebrate while Chester leaves to go to the hospital for his injured hand. As Chester is leaving the building he is garroted to death by Cabe. Cabe then ties a strap to the front door of the building to prevent it from opening.
As Daniel is telling Horatio about the leader of the N.O., Horatio mentions he didn't see any of the dead N.O. that matched his description. Barbara says the leader was probably the one on the roof. Cabe enters Chester's apartment and then goes up to the skylight. He opens the skylight to Horatio's apartment and takes the weapons Horatio had gathered from the dead N.O. members. Horatio realizes that there must be a member of the N.O. still unaccounted for. Cabe attempts to stab Barbara with a knife through the medicine cabinet, but she stabs him in the hand with scissors. Horatio and the others try and leave the building but can't open the door. Horatio goes back to his apartment and Patrick follows him as Daniel starts hacking at the building door. Lloyd starts shooting at anything that moves in the apartment, and barely misses Cabe. He then shoots at Patrick, who is walking along the roof. Horatio finds a dying Patrick and Cabe overhears Horatio tell Patrick that Barbara is in the apartment by herself. Cabe crawls through the medicine cabinet while Lloyd gathers his things and leaves. Daniel manages to break a hole in the door and then he and Barbara see Chester dead outside. Barbara goes back into Horatio's apartment with a knife. She notices the radio turn on and when she walks by the doorway with a curtain hanging in front of the door, she stabs at the curtain. Cabe stumbles towards Barbara and as he is about to stab her, Horatio shoots him. As Horatio and Barbara are hugging, Cabe pulls out a gun, but Daniel strikes him with an axe to the neck.
"After 42 days the strike ended and the police returned to normal duty." In a park, Mother and Stunt Baby are playing catch. Stunt Baby throws the ball and Lloyd, wearing a police uniform, tosses it back to her.
