Complete story — includes the ending

A security guard is killed during a robbery of unreleased mobile phones, but shoots one of the criminals before dying. The robbery turns out to be a smokescreen to steal blueprints. Sherlock and Joan head to New Jersey to prevent the East Rutherford Operations Center (EROC) from being burglarized during a snowstorm; the city is locked down, with roadblocks to aid emergency responders. Sherlock pays Pam to drive the pair to EROC in her snowplow. Sherlock realizes that the burglary has already taken place - $30 million in used notes about to be shredded - and the loot removed by ambulance. NYPD inquiries at hospitals put the shot criminal into custody, but she refuses to reveal the whereabouts of the loot-filled ambulance. An escape route out of the city for the ambulance was plotted, with roadblocks being removed one by one. The visiting FEMA official helping out with the city's emergency response to the snowstorm is involved in the heist. The remaining two robbers are apprehended. Meanwhile, Ms. Hudson, an old friend of Sherlock's, is dealing with a breakup, so he lets her stay at the brownstone. She is eventually hired to clean there once a week.
