After the body and child are discovered, the man calls on the police who arrive at the scene and inspect it. Jeremy Renner's Mike McLusky arrives shortly later.
Both Ian and Mike recognise Tatiana's body and discuss the health of the child. Then Mike sets off to find Konstantin and have a face-to-face discussion.

Mike McLusky confronts Konstantin Noskov for Tatiana's death
Soon after Mike finds out about Tatiana's death and her body being disposed of in a dumpster, he takes his car and reaches Konstantin Noskov's den to confront him. While there, he attempts to physically deal with Noskov but his attempts do not bear fruit as he has a powerful security system in place.
Although Mike was able to overpower most of his security personnel he was unable to gain direct access to Noskov. However, he did not leave the location without warning Noskov about his activities and the consequences he would face as a result of that.
Mike warned him that he would be keeping a close eye on him and his people and make sure that the people of Kingstown were safe from his hands.
At the end of the episode, Mike meets Noskov yet again at a pub where the two have a conversation at the watch of Noskov's guards. Noskov talks about Milo and reveals how he earlier thought that Mike and his brother Kyle were his b**hes. However, he now understands the gravitas of Mike's role as the Mayor of Kingstown.
Noskov's words were promptly followed by Mike's, who warned him to not take him lightly. He specified that Noskov should be working with Mike and not against him to live peacefully in Kingstown.
