Complete story — includes the ending

As part of an all-out assault to reclaim Central Park, Feraldo sends Fet and NYPD captain Kate Rodgers, the woman Fet recently slept with, on a dangerous mission to wipe out the underground strigoi nest. Eichhorst and Kelly give Zach a Feeler as his protector. In Central Park, Eph and Dutch gather more strigoi communication data. Gus and Angel escape the chain-gang and run into Fet and Kate. Gus joins them while Angel takes Maria, another conscripted fighter, to safety. Kelly moves Zach to a new location, but he leaves a message behind for Eph. Fet, Gus, and Kate destroy the strigoi nest, but a massive strigoi counterattack overwhelms the NYPD's checkpoints. The nest was a decoy to lure police into the open, forcing Ferraldo to order an immediate withdrawal. Eph finds and searches Zach's vacated room. Eichhorst arrives and taunts him, and in the ensuing confrontation, Dutch severs Eichhorst's hand, forcing his retreat. Feraldo orders a full withdrawal as strigoi overrun Central Park.
