However, the arrest doesn't sit well with some of the union workers, who are concerned about the negative attention that the investigation will bring to their organization. In the end, the Intelligence Unit manages to convince them that they are on the same side, and they all want to get rid of the criminal elements that are threatening their community.
Overall, The Docks is a tense and thrilling episode that showcases the Intelligence Unit's dogged determination and resourcefulness in solving even the most complicated cases.
