Plot summary

The Machine produces two numbers belonging to a married couple who own a publishing house. Reese and Finch work together and soon discover that each has ordered a hit on the other to settle a proposed sellout deal for their company. Reese kidnaps the couple with Carter's reluctant help, and defends them from a group of armed thugs while Finch plays marriage counselor. Eventually the hitmen are taken down while the couple are arrested but work out their marital problems. Finch suggests that the two will not spend much time in jail due to skilled lawyers, as well as their refusal to testify against each other. Meanwhile, Carter begins a relationship with narcotics detective Cal Beecher.
