In the nation's largest city,
the vicious and violent members of the underworld
are hunted by the detectives
of the Organized Crime Control Bureau.
These are their stories.
You're always at work. Dad, it's not OK.
Randall mentioned that you're selling fine wine.
Hey, it's a legit job.
Us Stablers tend to shut people out
when we don't know how to handle things.
Gotta work on that, man.
You were undercover with Los Santos.
You played a role in their father's death.
I built this case!
You assaulted a minor.
The minor who shot my sergeant?
You're suspended, pending an IAB investigation.
Thought you might like it.
You know, help you brush up on your English.
There's a girl named Rita.
Are we looking at trafficking here?
They kill my son!
Look, he's in London
and you're gonna be with him soon.
- Thank you. - You're safe now.
- Uh... - Try it again.
- Hold it like this? - Exactly right.
Now, spread your feet a bit.
Little more.
- Oh, what? - I...
I thought we were getting to know each other.
I thought you were teaching me something.
I can definitely do that.
You ever hear of mints?
She's right, Frank.
Your breath smells like ass.
Hey, Logan, why don't we take the councilman to the kitchen?
Get him some coffee?
This place is amazing.
Would you like a tour?
Very much.
New regular?
I think so.
He was... sweet.
They're never sweet. They just pretend to be.
How many times have you said you liked a guy
and it didn't work out?
A few.
Yeah, well, Prince Charming
doesn't have to pay his princess.
Maybe he hasn't met the right one yet.
The right one normally doesn't come with baggage.
Gabriel isn't baggage.
No, I didn't mean that.
Everything I do is for that kid.
I know. I'm sorry.
Look,
you know what I'm trying to say.
The kind of men we meet,
they're looking for a party, not a partner.
We're their escape. Don't ever forget that.
Yes, I come here a year ago.
My friend told me that I come, I live with her,
I can become an actress.
She believes...
I'm a paying customer.
And I can refuse service to anyone.
Don't cause a scene, just go.
Now.
It was nice to meet you.
- Be careful, all right? - Mm.
What's up, girl?
Hey. Want some, girl?
Hi.
How'd you find me?
Come on. I'll give you a ride.
Ooh!
You're a terrible dancer.
Sorry, I...
Some... something's wrong.
Well, I'm just saying that Grandma can be a lot to handle.
I know you can handle it.
But that's not what I'm saying.
OK.
You can just call me if you need anything.
I love you. Bye.
Coffee.
Coffee first.
You're being questioned
as part of an official IAB investigation.
You'll be asked questions
specific to the performance of your duties
and everything said here will be treated as confidential.
Start from the beginning. What happened that night?
Elliot, it's me.
I heard what happened.
Actually, I'm gonna wait
for you to tell me what happened.
Um, call me back.
I'm here.
In your view, was the use of physical force justified
given the circumstances?
He was taking down a shooter.
If he didn't do it, I would have.
In your view, did he use excessive force?
I can't answer that. I wasn't there.
I'm asking if Detective Bashir
or Slootmaekers shared their opinion of what happened.
I wasn't there.
You spoke with him on the phone.
Could you gauge whether he'd been drinking that evening?
You'd have to ask him.
Did you smell anything on his breath?
We don't have that kind of relationship.
Thank you, Detective.
I have all I need.
You don't know him.
He was just trying to protect everyone.
That's all. Thank you.
- Hey, Dad. - Hey. How you doing?
Just got out of class.
You need something?
No.
Just checking in,
seeing how you're doing after the other night.
I mean, I've met our family before.
Yeah. Yeah. Even still, you know.
I'm fine.
Are you OK?
Yeah. Yeah.
Well, no, but you know, it's nothing to worry about.
- Is Grandma? - Yeah, no, Grandma's fine.
She's... she's staying with your sister.
So you good?
Yeah.
OK.
If that changes...
Will you stop being weird?
You're freaking me out.
All right.
Look, I've got to go see Becky.
- OK. - Are you sure you're OK?
Good. I'm good. Yeah.
It's all good, and, uh, I'll talk to you.
Joey Joe.
As I live and breathe.
Miss me already, huh?
I had to see for myself.
Everybody, this is my big brother.
- Hey, guys. - Hey.
Big time wine merchant, huh?
- Not bad, huh? - Yeah.
Now wait till you see the view.
What a crazy night, huh?
- Mm. Dinner? - Yeah!
- Yeah. - I mean, holy hell.
- You didn't know any of that? - No.
Mom kicking Randall out, what he did to Dad.
- That was... that was... - A lot.
A lot. Yeah, even for our family.
Oh, hey.
Randall told me about, you know,
what happened about you getting suspended and all.
That sucks, man.
Yeah.
I'm sure it'll get figured out.
Yeah?
Hey, they'll figure it out.
Nice suit.
Thanks. It's Italian.
Yeah?
So this, the, uh, the entire operation?
This is it. This is it, yeah.
- Yeah? - Yeah.
That's the one I brought the other night.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah. - Yeah.
Looks like it's doing good by you.
Yeah, I feel like I'm finally doing what...
what I'm meant to do.
Guess it shows.
Besides work, everything good?
Yeah, great.
I got a new girl.
I didn't bring her to the party, thank God,
but you're gonna love her.
She's beautiful, man.
She's... she's a ten out of ten.
You'll see.
Hey, we need to talk.
- Yeah. Yeah, totally. - Mm-hmm.
It's just that now's not a good time.
OK. When's a good time?
I don't know. But I'll call you when it is.
OK?
- You call me? - Yeah, soon.
- Yeah? - OK.
Oh, hey.
For you.
Now's not a good time.
- OK. - All right.
I'll call you.
Well, well, well, someone's pretty popular around here.
It's all for show.
Everybody likes to pretend they care.
So should I take this back?
Mm-mm. Gimme.
Doc says you're recovering well.
Well, he's really impressed with himself,
so I take that as a good sign.
You're OK?
I'd rather not repeat that experience.
Sometimes it can stay in your head there for a little while after.
Just so you know.
Spoken from experience.
You talk to IAB?
Not yet.
How many times has Jack called?
Too many.
And Reyes, I know he stopped by.
Yeah, they don't follow orders very well.
I wonder where they learned that from?
They know better than to lie for me.
They don't have to.
You did what you had to do.
I know this isn't part of your nature, but, um...
but I need you to see how this one plays out.
Sit on your hands for a while.
Whatever happens happens.
You're right.
It's not part of my nature.
I'm sorry, I'm sorry!
I'm so sorry. I wasn't sure if it was you.
Are you Detective Stabler?
I saw the shooting on the news. I thought you might be here.
Who are you?
I'm Heidi. I'm friends with...
oh, God, I'm sorry. I'm doing this all wrong.
Just relax. Take your time.
You helped my friend, Rita. Rita Lasku.
She said if anything happened, that I should come find you.
- Yeah, I know her. - Mm.
I know her too.
- She with you? - No, we just met.
That's how it starts.
I don't judge.
Good.
- So Rita? - Mm.
Did you see her in here the other night?
- Yeah, she came through here. - Mm-hmm?
She leave with anyone?
- No, she was by herself. - Mm.
But I think I saw her get in a car.
What do you mean? You think or you saw?
Well, I didn't see the driver.
Sedan. Maybe a sports car.
Black.
Or gray, expensive.
My eyes aren't so good anymore.
All right. Thanks for your help.
Hey, hope you find your girl.
Could she have gone anywhere else?
No. Not that she told me.
OK.
Do you think she's OK?
This is it.
And I was told she was set up in London with her son.
She didn't want to go until she got her act together.
She wanted to have a job to be able to provide for him,
make him proud.
She only lived one life.
I understand.
She found her own clients. She wasn't owned by anyone.
Neither of us are.
Nice apartment.
She said she wanted to give it a few more months,
then go to London to be with the kid.
She was doing really well.
When was the last time you spoke with her?
Uh, about a week ago.
We check in with each other every few days,
but I wasn't hearing from her.
She wasn't answering my calls.
Then I got a text saying, "Don't worry, I'm fine."
Said she was having fun.
And?
She's not the one who sent it.
How do you know that?
We have a code just between us.
If you're OK, you never say you're OK.
If she really was OK, she would have told me to suck it.
Hmm.
Do you know if she had a second phone?
Maybe one of her clients
gave her a burner to use?
Something like that?
I'm not sure.
There was a new guy, I think.
Said he was nice.
That's a problem?
Always.
- Where'd she meet him? - Long Island.
There's a party house out there she's been at a few times,
but I'm not sure exactly where.
Hmm.
I haven't seen one of these in a thousand years.
Everyone takes their photos with their phone.
We only use our phones for business.
This was just for her.
Yeah?
Look at how gorgeous this place is.
Oh, no no. This place is a dump.
That is why you're here, to class up the joint.
That Mr. Nice Guy?
I don't know.
But I think that's the party she was talking about.
So, can you get anything from it?
Well, unlike with the phone,
there's no GPS data to pull from a digital camera.
So to get a location,
I'm gonna need to use elements within the frame.
You know, the architecture,
the position of the house relative to landmarks,
and then cross-reference that with any real estate listings
or social media posts, you know,
assuming that this is a popular party destination.
And can I just say again that I'm honored
that you came to me in your time of need?
You know, it means a lot.
Well, CCB is under a microscope.
I couldn't risk pulling in the members of the team.
And you don't consider me a member of the team?
Well, your trust in me is appreciated.
You want to talk about it?
What?
The case. I mean, who is she?
Someone I thought I'd saved.
- How long? - At least a few hours.
I'll just make myself comfortable.
I'm not replacing anyone.
But ADA Carisi is worried the Los Santos case will blow up in his face,
given the actions of Detective Stabler
and the absence of Sergeant Bell.
I'm here to make sure that doesn't happen.
So let's dot all the I's, cross all the T's,
go back over every piece of evidence.
I don't want the district attorney's office
to have anyone to blame but themselves, got it?
- Yep. - Got it.
Yes, Cap.
Great. Now get back to work.
So she's just gonna bring her own chair?
It looks like she's planning to get comfortable.
Maybe Sarge will be out longer than we expected.
I worked with Shah for over a year.
She's not the bad guy.
Didn't stop you from joining us from Hate Crimes
the first moment you got.
- Yeah, no. - I'm going to here now.
Yeah, 'cause I'm gonna grab this and just work.
You talk to Stabler?
Yeah, I went by his place this morning.
He wasn't there or he didn't bother answering.
He hasn't called me back either.
Technically...
it's crossing T's to keep tabs on him, right?
That's my understanding of T's and I's.
Mm.
What the hell is he doing in Long Island?
Hey.
Hey, it's me.
Get your feet off my coffee table.
You got an address for me?
Yeah, it, uh... the party house is located in Westbrook.
It's owned by the local DA, Noah Cahill.
Sending his photo.
I'll do some more digging,
see what I can find out about him.
Yeah, no, no. You do it. All right, see you.
Oh, all right, all right. I'm just playing with you.
Just making sure that you know which game we're doing.
You look lost.
I'd say more curious.
Uh-huh. OK, funny guy. Put your hands on the car.
Maybe a little pissed off.
Let's go.
Come on, it's up to you. Get in there.
- I'm all in. - Nice.
- Feeling very confident. - That's his tell.
Did you make a new friend, Logan?
Caught him snooping around.
I'm looking for a girl.
Yeah, you're definitely in the wrong place.
All we got here are broads.
No, I'm definitely in the right place.
I'm gonna reach into my pocket here...
Share this with you.
Look how gorgeous this place is.
This is definitely here and that is definitely you.
And the girl is Rita Lasku. She's missing.
And who the hell are you?
I'm a concerned citizen looking for a friend.
Just a friend?
Are you a cop? 'Cause I'm a cop.
Actually, I am the cop.
And if you have something to say to me,
you say it in my office, not here.
I understand and I would love to do that,
but this man was one of the last people
to see her alive at a party
where he paid what looked like underaged girls
for the entertainment.
They look young, but no one was underage.
- You say she's missing. - Yes.
How do you know she's missing?
These girls fall off the map all the time.
I'm just looking for a list
of everyone who was at the party.
It's not gonna happen.
What are you afraid of?
Enough. This is what is going to happen.
One hand, I win,
Officer Logan here charges you with trespassing.
And if I win?
A night in the drunk tank.
Give you some time to think about
all the lines you've crossed tonight.
We read up all about you while you were in the tank.
Anything interesting?
Nah, just an arrogant city cop,
thinks he owns every place he walks into.
- Kinda sounds like your chief. - Yeah.
Be thankful you're walking out of here
without any charges against you, Detective.
With your suspension,
can't imagine that'd go down too well.
No argument there.
Enjoy your drive back into the city.
Thanks very much.
Hey, you got a breakfast joint around here?
I got a thing for eggs.
Ah, don't bother yourself.
I think I can find it on my own.
You've been working here for a while?
Couple months.
- Did I mess up something? - No.
Food's great, but I was just kind of wondering...
you probably get a lot of faces coming through here.
You ever seen her?
Name is Rita.
Maybe one night, late at night, possibly with an older guy.
I've only got the brunch crowd.
She looks a lot like Christine.
Christine?
Christine Olston.
I don't really know her, but she busses tables here.
Never showed up for her shift two nights ago.
- She works nights? - Yeah.
Overheard the cops say they think she's a runaway.
- Mm. - Is your friend missing too?
She is.
- You know where she lives? - I don't. Sorry.
But you should ask Carter.
He knows everybody.
Christine's family.
They live over in Mastic.
They're good people.
Carter Reid.
I'm a journalist.
Or Westbrook's cautionary tale, depending on who you ask.
Hear you're looking for your own missing girl.
Yeah.
Rita Lasku.
Uh...
Uh, what do you know about Noah Cahill?
Well, I know he's got more money than a DA should,
unless he's taking something extra under the table.
So he's a power player?
Few folks around here thinks he calls the shots.
Not Chief Bonner?
Well, it depends
on whether you think the top dog is the one
paying for protection or the one offering it.
- That old tango? - Welcome to Long Island.
Make matters worse,
tourist season's around the corner.
Two missing girls, that's bad for business.
If they want to bury this, they can.
Christine's family, could you make an introduction for me?
I can't today.
But I'll let them know Detective Stabler is coming by.
She asked for this expensive dress.
- Just had to have it for prom. - Mm.
- When we said no... - We didn't say no.
I said, "Find the money for the dress and it's yours."
And that's just what she did.
By working at a diner?
No, that wasn't paying enough.
It was a cater-waiter gig she found on Craigslist.
- Some party. - At a beach house?
In Westbrook, yes.
The last time we spoke, we argued.
Sorry.
We've been talking a lot already.
I understand.
Hey. Whoa.
You don't need to go anywhere.
You OK?
Yeah?
You close with your sister?
You know why I'm here?
Yeah.
I'm taking what's going on very seriously.
So if you know anything that can help me find your sister,
I need you to tell me.
Now one's gonna get in trouble.
Mom and Christine...
they were yelling at each other.
Well, I think right now,
all your parents want is your sister home.
One time, after they were fighting...
Mm-hmm.
I saw her hide something.
Do you know where she hid it?
Can you get it for me?
Good job, son.
Hmm.
No history.
Now let's put the boot back.
Vargas, it's me.
I'm calling you on a burner phone.
I need to know everyone who has called this number.
Only one?
You sure?
All right, well, yeah, give it to me.
Got it.
Hello?
I'm looking for Christine.
I'm gonna find her.
Maybe you think you've gone too far, but you haven't.
You can stop this.
You have a very strong accent.
All right, you're safe now.
You're safe.
No, no. Please, help me!
Help me!
Please!
Hey.
Hotshot, you're not going anywhere except with me.
Chief Bonner wants to see you.
Now.
No, no. Please, help me!
Whoever has her met her at that party.
Help me!
You're convinced it's Cahill?
Well, if it's not, he knows more than what he's saying.
Is that where you were headed?
To his place? To do what?
Knock him around a little?
I hadn't thought that far in advance.
Detective, this is my investigation.
And my town.
I won't have you harassing its residents.
If you have something, you bring it to me.
You are not the only one who wants to find these girls.
Well, I brought you the phone, Chief.
Maybe give it to your tech
so that they can find something on it that I've missed.
Are you sure?
We're looking for someone driving a sports car.
Why are you here?
We're the cavalry.
And that's the end of it.
We traced the phone number. It's no longer in service.
Guy probably torched it the second he sent the video.
We've been analyzing it frame by frame.
You did all this with motel Wi-Fi?
Well, I set up our own wireless satellite hookup.
We should get faster rendering now that
Reyes isn't driving 95 miles an hour.
We did some digging on your DA, Cahill.
Turns out he's a domestic abuser.
His last two wives filed charges,
but they didn't stick,
and there was a Child Services case.
That was buried too.
We checked all the cars registered under his name.
Turns out he likes muscle cars.
Not surprising.
But red's his favorite color, nothing gray or black,
and nothing that fits the vehicle the doorman saw
leaving the hotel.
So maybe he's not our guy.
Or maybe it wasn't his car.
I got something.
Here in the background.
That's a concrete artillery rig.
They're used in old World War II bunkers.
Any of those bunkers in the area?
Uh...
four along the coastline.
One's only two miles from Cahill's beach house.
Send me the location.
What are you doing?
We're going with you.
No, you're not even supposed to be here.
Everyone in this room is out of their jurisdiction.
Especially you.
Exactly. I'm already in hot water.
You come with me, what if it goes sideways?
Sarge is not gonna have a team to go back to.
No.
Don't follow me.
OK, you're a little over a mile away.
Head north through that thicket,
should take you right to the coastline.
I'm gonna hoof it.
OK, you're right on top of it.
What am I looking for?
All right. Check your phone.
The photo should help.
I think I found it.
Christine.
You're safe, you're safe, you're safe.
My name is Elliot. You're safe, you're safe.
I'm a cop. You're safe. Are you all right?
Christine. Christine.
You're gonna be OK. I'm gonna get you out of here.
There was a girl here, Rita.
Mm.
Do you remember Rita?
You do? Where is she?
No. No.
No, no.
No! No! No!
Oh, no.
I'm sorry about your friend.
Me too.
Yeah?
You OK?
I will be.
There's a few things I got to talk to you about
when you get back.
Understood. Hold on.
Coroner says she's been dead over 48 hours.
Before he sent the video?
Yeah.
This isn't on you.
There's nothing more you could've done.
Look, Rita isn't our case.
She was.
And she still is.
I'll see what I can do.
In the meantime, stay out of their hair.
She's the chief.
And you're just observers, got it?
Yes, sir.
Thank you, Detective.
Thank you for bringing my daughter back.
Mm-hmm.
Did you find your friend?
Yeah. Yeah, I did.
Um, could you give us a minute, please?
- Hi. - Hi.
I hate to do this now,
but we don't want this happening to anyone else.
- I understand. - OK.
I know him.
Mm-hmm.
He hosted the parties.
Mm-hmm.
But did he abduct you?
I don't know.
I never saw his face.
I was grabbed from behind.
Mm-hmm.
And the next thing I knew, I was in the trunk of a car.
How about his voice? Do you remember that?
- Yeah. - What it sounded like, maybe?
- Yeah. - Mm-hmm?
That, I'll never forget.
Before he'd leave,
he'd always say in this whispery voice,
"Don't wash away with the sea, sweetheart."
I think they found something.
I got a body here!
We got another one over here.
Got one here too.
Yeah?
Rita's body wasn't the only one they found.
They pulled out three more.
We got ourselves a serial killer.
