During a gunfight between the LAPD and members of the Scorpions led by El Scorpio, two officers try to reach injured motorcycle cops using steel shields, El Scorpio fires a grenade launcher, killing the two officers. Harrigan arrives on scene and asks Danny what is going on and Leona tells him they need to reach the motorcycle cops before they bleed to death. Sergeant tells Harrigan they need an assault vehicle to reach the injured cops. Danny puts some flak jackets on one side of Harrigan's vehicle and Harrigan drives his vehicle towards the Scorpions and provides cover so the injured cops can be pulled to safety. El Scorpio and the other gang members run into their headquarters. Harrigan shoots his way to the entrance of the building and Danny tells him Heinemann ordered them to secure the perimeter and wait for a special unit to arrive. An explosion rocks the building and Harrigan and his team enter the building along with two Cops. El Scorpio runs out of a door and shoots and kills one of the Cops and runs up some stairs towards the roof of the building. Harrigan follows El Scorpio onto the roof and shoots him when El Scorpio starts shooting and El Scorpio falls to his death off the roof of the building. He and his team investigate the room where the Scorpions were slaughtered and Danny hears glass shattering and sees a body hanging from the ceiling and shows Harrigan. Heinemann arrives and yells at Harrigan for not obeying orders and entering the building. A helicopter lands and Keyes, Garber and the rest of the Federal Team get out and walk towards the building. Jerry sees Harrigan and runs up to him and Harrigan tells him to wait outside. Harrigan goes into Captain Pilgrim's office and Captain Pilgrim tells him Keyes is in charge of investigating criminal activities dealing with the trafficking of narcotics and Harrigan is to give him his full cooperation. Keyes walks into the office and apologizes to them for taking over and Harrigan sarcastically tells him cooperation is his middle name. Jerry tries to talk with Harrigan again, but Harrigan tells him to wait. Harrigan walks into his office and Danny goes over what happened in El Scorpio's headquarters. Jerry goes into Harrigan's office and Harrigan tells him the team comes first and welcomes him to the war.
Harrigan and his team arrive at Ramon Vega's penthouse and Jerry runs opposition to Pope. Patrolman tells Harrigan he has been inside, but was told to wait for the Federal Team. Harrigan and his team ignore the order and enter the penthouse. They find King Willie's Boys skinned and Columbian Girl still alive. Danny shows Harrigan a spear tip lodged in an AC vent and Keyes shows up and kicks Harrigan and his team out of the building. Keyes threatens Harrigan and then has Garber grab Pope, who managed to get into the building. Before leaving, Harrigan tells Jerry to follow Keyes and his team to see where they go and tells Danny to get inside the room once Keyes' team leaves. Jerry meets with Harrigan later and tells him Columbian Girl was taken away in Keyes' helicopter. The next day, Heinemann has a meeting with Harrigan and Captain Pilgrim. He tells them only Harrigan's past commendations is what is saving him from being blamed for Danny's death. Harrigan storms out of the office and when he sees Keyes walking in the building, grabs him and throws him against the wall. He warns Keyes to stay out of his way and then storms off. Leona and Jerry tell him they have been monitoring Keyes and he isn't looking for drug dealers. Jerry tells him they lost Keyes and his team in the Slaughterhouse District and Harrigan tells Leona he wants her to set up a meeting with King Willie. Irene Edwards tells Harrigan, Danny was killed by an edged weapon that nearly cut his heart in two. Harrigan shows her the spear tip and she scans it and tells him the material isn't anything they know of on the periodic table. After Harrigan and Jerry leave the building, a car pulls up and Sweet tells Harrigan, King Willie will see him now. Harrigan gets into the vehicle and is driven to an alley and let out. He walks down the alley and meets King Willie, who tells him The Predator is from the spirit world.
Harrigan calls Irene's office and Jerry tells him the background he dug up on Keyes and Irene tells him the Federal Team erased most of the files related to the case, except one from the penthouse attack which had blood with traces of cattle blood and steroids. Harrigan tells Jerry and Leona he will meet them at the Slaughterhouse District. Harrigan leaves Danny's badge and credentials at Danny's grave and as he is walking away, he sees Danny's broken necklace hanging from a tree limb. He later arrives at the subway slaughter and sees Leona being taken out on a stretcher. The Paramedics tell him Leona is in deep shock and she is pregnant. He runs into the subway looking for Jerry and Captain Pilgrim tells him they found Jerry's badge. Harrigan continues down the subway tunnel and sees The Predator rip Jerry's head and spine from his body. He chases after The Predator back onto the surface and when Pope starts harassing him and mentioning more victims with a smile, Harrigan punches him in the face. Harrigan follows the path The Predator is taking in his car, until he is hit by a truck driven by the Federal Team. He is brought into their command trailer and Keyes tells him about the case involving the original Predator, and a television screen shows Anna being interviewed. Keyes tells Harrigan their goal is to capture The Predator to take its technology. A Federal Team member tells Garber they are picking up The Predator on their scanners and Keyes suits up with some members of his team and enters the slaughterhouse. Harrigan puts on a headset and tells Keyes, The Predator can see their lights, but Keyes ignores him. He runs to the trunk of his vehicle and arms himself and puts on body armor and runs into the slaughterhouse. As The Predator is about to kill Keyes, Harrigan blows a hole in the building. The Predator fires a rocket behind him, hitting Keyes with it. The Predator starts to stalk Harrigan after he is forced to discard his armor from being hit in the chest with a bolt of energy. Harrigan wounds The Predator and walks up to its prone body, but it regains consciousness after he removes its mask. Keyes tells Harrigan to run away and is then cut in half by The Predator's disc.
Harrigan runs to the roof and The Predator throws a spear at him, but misses. Harrigan retrieves the spear and charges at The Predator with it, knocking The Predator off the roof. The Predator, who is keeping itself from falling by holding onto Harrigan's arm, repeats what Gold Tooth said, "shit happens" and initiates his nuclear wrist bomb. Harrigan manages to grab The Predator's disc and uses it to cut off its arm that was holding him and The Predator crashes into an apartment building. Harrigan keeps the disc and follows The Predator into the building. The Predator crashes out of a bathroom and runs away and Harrigan chases after him. He follows The Predator underground once more and lands on top of a spaceship. Harrigan goes inside of the spaceship and sees a trophy case full of skulls, including one from a Xenomorph. He fights and kills The Predator by cutting its stomach open with the disc and telling it, "shit happens". A group of Predators appear suddenly and their leader gives Harrigan an old flintlock pistol with the name Raphael Adolini and the year 1715. The spaceship starts and Harrigan runs out of the spaceship shortly before it takes off. He walks towards the surface covered in ash as the Federal Team helicopter lands and Garber asks him what happened, but leaves as police sirens approach and Harrigan says he will get another chance.
