Mafia Fix

After an undercover Treasury operation at Pier 27 loses a huge heroin shipment, Inspector Vincent Fabia is murdered and four drivers are trapped in a refrigerated pit, where they freeze to death. Remo kills security investigator Harry Hopkins, who has inferred CURE’s existence and tried to blackmail it. Dr. Harold W. Smith sends Remo to Hudson under the cover of magazine writer Remo Barry, ordering him to provoke the traffickers, find the hidden shipment and destroy it. Mob leader Dominic Verillio sells initial orders to regional crime bosses, but the cache remains hidden. Remo kills his former Newark colleague Bill Skorich and enforcer Gaetano Gasso; Chiun kills the three gunmen who seize him.

Three corrupt police officers later abduct Remo; he questions and kills them. Verillio tries to shoot Remo after destroying papers that could expose his own superior, and dies by gunshot as Remo enters. The mayor, Craig Hansen, is a public-facing decoy: his daughter Cynthia is also Verillio’s daughter and directs the heroin operation, with Myron Horowitz running its processing plant. As Britain, France and Japan threaten to act, Smith keeps Remo on the case while remembering that his own unnamed daughter is addicted to heroin. During his confrontation with Cynthia, Remo sexually assaults her. Remo later finds the trucks, kills Cynthia at the cache, and discovers two original drivers frozen in a cab.

Three foreign operatives then attack Horowitz’s factory; one kills Horowitz, while Remo neutralizes the other two. Treasury agents arrive, and the British operative phones a newspaper contact to claim credit. Willie the Plumber tries to flee with his savings; Remo catches and kills him after scratching his prized Eldorado.
