Story
A respected judge Alfred McGuffin uncovers a city-wide crime syndicate and is kidnapped. The judge was a friend of Jack's father, and so the cop is obliged to send a few hundred men to the grave to put things right. All hell soon breaks loose, and Jack and his K-9 colleague Shadow must put up the fight of their lives against a powerful mafia to break the spiral of betrayal and corruption in the city. In the end, the judge is murdered, and although Jack catches the killer, the goons of a high-ranking Russian crime boss named Blanchov get the judge's files. Jack's girlfriend Ruby is murdered by Blanchov, and although Jack never gets the files back (they were probably Hennesey's files from the first game), he goes after Blanchov for revenge. Jack kills Blanchov, but it gives him no satisfaction, knowing that Blanchov is just a high-ranking puppet who can easily be replaced. After losing Ruby, Jack has nothing left to live for. He also claims that whoever targeted him got the files and he ended up empty-handed.
