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.

Deputy Inspector Thurman.

I was just so excited to show my appreciation.

The vacancy that opened up when you declined the position.

Bernanda Menendez.

Connected with some major players out of Havana.

I need some information on some young faces out of Miami.

I gotta protect my own family.

They're moving product north. They're into street racing.

Go!

You up for this? First undercover op?

Hell yeah.

Be on top of your game.

Do you wanna help out?

I'm sorry. I'm ditching the wire.

Police car behind us?

Feels like cops to me.

Lose them.

We're gonna have fun with you.

Yo, who was that back there?

Should I have blasted them?

I could have blasted them. Shut up for a second.

Where is he going?

He's taking a left.

Sarge, what's the move?

Just stay on him. We're right behind you.

I'm just saying, Duran's not gonna like this.

I will take care of Duran, okay?

Yeah, but now we got loose ends.

Stop talking, Cristobal!

Where's Duran?

Huh?

We are going to see Duran. Where is he?

I'm not about to take this heat to him.

Well, I just lost the heat. I saved you both, all right?

That gets me an introduction.

Now tell me where Duran is

so we can get the hell off the road.

I don't know what's happening in that car.

She's already in there.

Come on.

Your job was to find me a buyer.

We got 48 hours at best to find another one, or...

Hey, jefe.

Who... who is this?

It's the guy I told you about.

Kevin.

You're the driver, right?

Yeah, and she brought me here

‘cos I'm the solution to your problems.

Oh, really? Yeah.

If it wasn't for me, these two

would be in cuffs right now. Ah.

And how long do you think it would take

for the cops to find you?

So maybe you should say thank you.

Oh, thank you.

Yeah, instead of getting all worked up.

Look, I can drive. I can deal.

Among other things. Other things?

Like what... hitting cops, eh?

He's bad news.

What is wrong with you,

to bring me another problem like this?

Can I use the bathroom? Huh?

Okay. Everybody... everybody out!

Why are you pushing me, bro? I don't wanna fight you.

I just wanted to use the bathroom.

There ain't no bathroom here.

I don't wanna see his face again.

Get him out of here, now. Okay.

What are you doing? Vamos. Let's go.

What are you... Move.

Come on, . Walk. Vamos.

Come on. Get outta here.

You tough. Step.

I'll go look somewhere else.

You're just gonna throw me out?

We're done with you, okay?

Don't make the mistake of trying to come back here.

Thank God you had your phone on you so we could track you.

Why'd you ditch your wire?

They were gonna find it when they frisked me... I had to.

That is not what happened, and you know it.

You disobeyed a direct order,

and you put all of us in jeopardy.

I just put eyes on Cristobal and Bernanda in the bar.

Call backup now, we can take them in.

Sarge, look, they're not the target, okay, not anymore.

There's something way bigger going on here.

All the guys coming up from Miami,

they're working for one guy... Duran.

Look, apparently, he owns Miami.

Now he wants New York.

He's in town for two days to scout a buyer,

and I got an in.

Or I did.

Well, we didn't know what was going on in there.

I came to help you. No, no.

There's no way Duran's gonna trust me now.

Yeah, I think you're right.

So let's use it to our advantage.

Maybe Duran can't trust you.

You're a crooked bastard who deserves to pay.

What are you talking about?

You got us in, but it's my turn to finish the job.

I just gotta murder you first.

You don't have to do this, man.

You steal from me too? No! No!

Look, I messed up.

I messed up. Okay, I get that.

But I can make it right. Okay?

I can make it right. Too late.

And we got it. You all right? Yep.

Get this to CSU, don't let them know it was staged.

If they can't tell it was fake, then...

Mm-hmm. You really think it'll work?

Well, Duran's gotta offload that new shipment

he just brought up from Miami.

I pose as a buyer who's just done him a favor,

I think he'll be more inclined to talk to me.

He's gonna need to see money.

I know.

I'll go get it.

I'll find out.

Here you go.

$200,000. All marked bills.

Serial numbers are all documented, of course.

And we got this neat little trick.

Invisible ink.

Uh... hey, let me get you a release.

Be right back.

How you doing?

That was a quick exit you made back there at the crime scene.

Was it?

I thought we were done with me getting shot.

It's a smart way to get us back in.

It's certainly a way to get Stabler in.

I could have done it, Jet.

But then he wouldn't be the guy.

Come on, it's not like that. You ditched your wire.

You really think that's why I got pulled?

All right.

Let me get you to sign that.

All right.

Happy hunting. No hunting for me.

I'm just the dead guy.

Hey, Stabler.

These are Detectives Lowry and Martinez from Miami.

Oh, hey. How you doing? What can we do for you?

Oh, it's what we're here to do for you, my friend.

Oh?

They've been working Duran's drug running op down south.

When we got word he was up here to make a big sale,

we reached out to offer our help.

Yeah?

Who exactly did you reach out to?

Elliot. Excuse me.

Hey. Did you get the money? Yeah.

Don't do anything with it until I come out.

I hear you're the man who got us in.

Deputy Inspector.

I was just filling him in on Duran.

Tell me more about this next move of yours.

What are those two detectives from Miami doing here?

They're here to help.

Right. Why?

Their captain reached out to me,

offered to give us everything they knew to help grab him.

So they're gonna help us grab him?

Mm.

I'd like you to make them feel welcome.

Excuse me.

Those yahoos have zero jurisdiction here.

What's he thinking?

He's thinking he's new,

and he wants to do things differently.

Huh. How do you feel about that?

I feel like we're on the clock,

and we don't have time to waste,

so let's play nice for now.

Play nice.

His full name is Antonio Duran.

Came over from Cuba during the Mariel boatlift in 1980,

looking for the American Dream,

which, of course, meant selling drugs.

You guys know the cocaine cowboys?

He was an original member.

Except he didn't get caught.

Until 2001, when the Feds grabbed him

on money laundering charges.

Got a six-year sentence,

which would have been three with good behavior.
