Last week on K-Ville, we were introduced to Trevor Cobb, Marlon Boulet and the rest of their squad from the New Orleans Police Dept. Cobb confessed his criminal past to his new partner and we were left with the sight of them burying that past in Boulet's yard.

This week the action begins with a jailbreak from the facility that Cobb was in. Three inmates escaped and the squad is working overtime on the manhunt. Cobb has a plan to capture the escapees that differs from the plan laid out by the correctional department and it takes them out of the area that the rest of the team is working.

Their leads take them to the airport where they find the prisoners getting ready to flee the scene. After calling it in to their captain, they capture two of the prisoners, but the third gets away after one of the correctional deputies interferes. The guys have a really bad feeling about Mr. DeVille, the criminal sheriff, and his deputies and with good reason as it turns out.

DeVille strongarms Captain Embry into releasing the two prisoners to him and wouldn't you know they turn up dead two hours later. The third inmate, Dunleavy, turns out to be this rich kid with access to over $100,000 in his trust fund. He was sentenced to 2 years for drunk and disorderly, which is a crock. This company that runs the prison is given a per diem per prisoner, so they get prisoners and don't want to release them.

Cobb and Boulet track down Dunleavy's girlfriend, who is a street performer. She has been in touch with him, but doesn't tell them where he is. She says that he escaped because he was afraid for his life. She doesn't know what he was afraid of because he wouldn't tell her. Knowing that his other two buddies were killed, they believe this, but they still arrest her as an accomplice.

Cobb comes up with this plan to figure out what Dunleavy is afraid of by retracing his escape route. They first go back to the prison. Cobb sees his old cell and has a flashback of his old cellmate and the night of the flood. While there, Boulet searches Dunleavy's cell and finds what appears to be sheet music, but is actually a note in code. Cobb also receives a call from Dunleavy through the department. Before he can find out everything, one of the prisoners jumps him and an altercation breaks out.

He does find out that the prisoners did not escape from the prison, but from a work detail outside the prison grounds. The guys manage to aggravate DeVille, again, and are escorted out of the jail. DeVille goes to the Chief of Police to have them taken off the case and Captain Embry gives them two hours before he has to comply.

Dunleavy's girlfriend is convinced by the note Boulet found to tell them how to find him, but they are tailed by one of DeVille's crooked deputies, Carlson. They go to the quarter to a bar and find Dunleavy in the storeroom. As Cobb tries to talk to him, Carlson grabs him and is going to take him into custody. Boulet comes up behind Carlson and we have a standoff. Carlson shoots Boulet, Cobb shoots Carlson and Dunleavy runs off.

When Cobb catches up with Dunleavy, he's told about the scheme that DeVille is running. DeVille has the prisoners transporting toxic sludge from offshore oil rigs and illegally dumping it into the marsh instead of the company properly disposing of it. This saves the oil company big bucks and Deville gets a big cut. The three escapees figured out what they were dumping and they were trying to escape to talk to the newspapers about what was going on. Cobb gives Dunleavy his truck keys and tells him where to leave his truck when he was safe.

We don't get to see DeVille arrested, but we see the confrontation he has with our guys and in the background we see the barrels of sludge being brought up from the marsh. Threats are tossed around and as DeVille leaves the police station, he tells them that this is not over.

Next week on K-Ville, Cobb and Boulet face more corruption in the system when they investigate a conspiracy in the Red Light District.
