What "The Fixer" 5-th episode about
John Mercer's predecessor, Patrick Finch, has gone on a vigilante-style rampage, meting out his particular brand of justice against drug-dealers and prostitutes. He is working on his own and he's making newspaper headlines. It's time to put the brakes on Finch.
Meanwhile, Hugh Berry, the man who sorts out the paperwork to cover Lenny's illicit activities, asks him to take out a hit on his behalf.
A hit-and-run driver Trevor Bowyer rendered Hugh's grandson mentally disabled. But the driver only served two years for the crime. Lenny is left in no doubt that if he doesn't send his hit man to hug Bowyer, Hugh will find one of his own.
Lenny visits Finch in an attempt to bring him into line. But he finds a bitter, alienated and menacing man. Finch is everything Lenny feared he might become.
Leaving Finch's tower block, Lenny is furious to find Hugh Berry waiting outside, he's clearly tempted to hire Finch in order to take out Bowyer.
