Synopsis:
Mark Shaw has resumed his masked identity as the Manhunter and is now working as a bounty hunter. He apprehends the Penguin and turns him over to the police for a reward. Mark then returns home to meet his family for a party to celebrate his half-sister's successful completion of the Bar exam.

Meanwhile a killer named Dumas impersonates a catholic bishop in order to assassinate Bishop Damian M'Butu. Dumas was hired by a racist businessman who transfers payment when the job is done.

Mark next goes after Captain Cold. He follows him home from a Mets game, then trails him to the site of a drug deal. Captain Cold plans to steal from the drug dealers, but Manhunter sees that the police and reporters already have the location staked out. Manhunter is then caught on camera as he apprehends Captain Cold.

After seeing Manhunter on the news, Olivia Vancroft contacts her associate to acquire Manhunter's mask which she intends to add to her collection. She demands that Dumas be hired should the mask prove difficult to get.
