The team sets up their command post outside the prison and starts working on a plan to take control of the situation.

The team starts analyzing the situation and the individual personalities of the rioting inmates. They discover that the riot was started by a group of inmates who are part of a white supremacist group. The group has been causing trouble in the prison for a while, and they saw the riot as an opportunity to take control of the prison.

As the team regroups outside the prison, they realize that the white supremacist group leader had a bigger plan in mind. He had arranged for a fellow white supremacist to be released from the prison during the riot. The team starts racing against time to find the escapee before he can cause any harm.

The team discovers that the escapee has a history of violence and that he is likely to target a specific group of people. The team starts working on a plan to locate and apprehend the escapee before he can cause any further harm.
