Law & Order: Organized Crime

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.

Donnelly's running a crew out of the 3-7.

He's more than an errand boy for the Marcy Killers.

I remember your pops.

- Our dads say we're like-- - Yeah, brothers.

My old man would've hated this.

Leave your fellow cops alone.

Nova will now report directly to me.

Second in command of the entire Marcy organization?

This is more than what you signed up for.

- How much did we lose? - At least 50K.

The disrespect, I can't stand.

I run this town now. - Yeah.

- Hey, hey, hey. - Whoa, whoa, whoa.

You did good, Stabler. I think you might be ready.

Come on.

It just feels like betrayal.

I know what I'm doing is right

but I can't shake this feeling...

Of betraying these people

even though they're betraying their oath.

Tell me about this world of feeling for you.

What lives there?

My father.

What does he have to say about this?

Well not too much, he's been dead about 30 years,

but...

Sss--

I still hear him loud and clear.

See, he was a cop, and he represents...

You know, the old school way, the cop tradition,

the code.

My father was awarded the Combat Cross.

He took a bullet to save another cop's life,

That's who he was. That's what he did.

And he gave me that Combat Cross

when I became a detective.

It's the first time I ever felt like he was proud of me.

Isn't upholding the law part of the code?

Yeah. Yeah.

Seems to me, your father would be proud

again.

Do not come down here, Bonnie.

Who is this?

Yo, I'm warning you.

I'm here to pick up Angelica Guzman.

It'll be a while. They're still processing her.

What are the charges?

Prostitution and disorderly conduct.

You know the DA's not gonna prosecute.

Why didn't you just call social services?

You can have a seat over there if you like,

but you can't stand here.

Or you can--you can call me.

How about you do that next time?

Save the city a little money.

Angelica, I'm here to take you home.

Everything is going to be okay.

You're doing the right thing. Do you hear me?

Will you stay off the streets tonight?

- I've gotta work. - Just tonight, please.

Here, this will tide you over.

Tomorrow morning I'll pick you up,

I'll take you to my office, and we'll get to work.

If he knew I was talking to you--

Everything between us is completely confidential.

I promise you, Angelica.

Come on, I'll walk you to your door.

Ah, this is weird.

I think I'm gonna miss you.

Oh, that's sweet. What was his name again?

The better we all do our jobs,

the sooner Stabler will be back here riding your asses.

I upgraded this from when

you were undercover as Eddie Wagner.

I added a feature that lets Sergeant Bell ping you

when she needs you to respond ASAP.

Okay.

Everyone, I need your attention.

Last night a civil rights attorney, Bonnie Ellis,

was found murdered in East New York

along with a young sex worker. - Bonnie?

I knew her back when I worked in Narco.

She was involved in the East New York Gangs Truce.

She went on to cofound the Second Chance Alliance,

a nonprofit organization that works

to help victims of sex trafficking.

So the sex worker was her client?

Angelica Guzman, 19 years old,

got picked up as part of a sting.

Ellis was dropping her off at her apartment.

And the murder weapon was found in a dumpster

near the crime scene, a nine-millimeter handgun

with the serial number scratched off.

Crime scene is working to recover the number.

So East New York, that's the 3-7.

So is this a task force case or is this for Stabler?

You know, technically, he's still on suspension.

Well, it's for both of you

because of a possible Marcy Killers connection.

A few hours before Bonnie was killed,

she received a call from a burner phone.

It was traced back to

a Hugo Bankole of the Marcy Killers.

What's wrong with you?

The cops are looking for me.

Why? What happened?

Two women got shot last night on Van Siclen,

and they think I did it.

You have an alibi?

Yeah, I was at my cousin Jamund's place.

Brought him some electronics for his e-biz.

- So he can vouch for you. - No, he got a record.

They ain't going to believe him.

One of the marks was a lawyer

coming up in the public defender's office,

and that ain't a good look for the cops.

You know they gonna have to pin it on somebody.

You should get out of here.

Hey.

Hey, how you doing? Stabler.

Don't feel bad. They don't trust new guys here.

I don't feel bad. I got thick skin.

So you got transferred here?

It would seem so.

Kind of a downgrade.

They took my gun too.

- Tough break. - Yup.

You play cards?

Yeah, 10-4.

See you at McCutcheon's.

I'll see you there.

Bonnie spent a year getting to know Angelica.

She worked really hard to gain her trust,

providing legal counsel,

connecting her with social services.

Do you know if Angelica was being trafficked?

I honestly don't know, but these women,

they're terrified to talk about that.

Where'd she pick up her clients?

Did she have a territory?

We work separate cases,

but I know some of the women that worked with Bonnie,

they walk the track at Hunts Point.

Did Bonnie have any dealings with the Marcy Killers?

I've heard the name, but aren't they a drug gang?

Wait, you're saying you haven't come across them

in connection with sex trafficking?

No, but I don't know

every gang in New York that traffics women.

Detective Stabler.

Captain Darnell, nice to meet you, sir.

I'm gonna be very straight with you.

I don't want you here.

You were thrust on me, and I don't like it,

but it wasn't my choice.

Well, I appreciate your honesty.

Just shut up and let me talk.

I don't like scandal, and I hate politics.

So whatever happened between you and your former sergeant,

I don't give a damn.

You just keep your head down and stay out of trouble

or I will make sure

that your suspension becomes an expulsion.

Now in the meantime,

unless and until IAB restores your full privileges,

you're on desk duty.

Make sure your handwriting's legible.

Copy that, sir.

- Hey. - Hey.

- Look at you. - Yeah, look at me.

Stuck in your little house-mouse gig.

- Mm. - Please don't hate me.

Why would I hate you?

'Cause I'm the one that put in the good word

that got you transferred to this hellhole.

Well, I hate you.

Look, truth of the matter is

it wouldn't have mattered where they sent me,

a cop without a gun is dead weight.

Yeah. Come on, let's go for a ride.

Yeah, I don't think that's a good idea.

I was threatened with expulsion by Darnell.

Forget about Darnell.

He's a jackass. Let's go.

Come on.

Let's roll.

Turning the wrong way down a one-way street

adds the element of surprise.

The more people you stop,

more likely you are to find something.

Stop and frisk, I think is what they call it.

Yeah.

And you know, if you're in a patrol car,

you just pull over, pop the door,

chase whoever runs.
