At the Los Angeles harbor, Nordberg is using a listening device to spy on a heroin deal happening on a ship. Nordberg interrupts the meeting and orders those involved to put their hands up. None of the drug dealers comply and Vincent Ludwig steps out of the shadows and orders his men to shoot Nordberg. Through a series of mishaps Nordberg is severely injured and falls overboard. Frank and Ed Hocken visit Nordberg at Our lady of the Worthless Miracle hospital. Frank asks Nordberg who injured him, but Nordberg is only able to give cryptic responses about Love, boats and heroin. After Frank stops the assassination attempt on Queen Elizabeth II, Nordberg arrives in a wheelchair and Frank gives him a hearty slap on the back.
