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.

I got myself suspended.

You're being questioned as part

of an official IAB investigation.

Rita Lasku, she's missing.

Rita said if anything happened that I should come find you.

What do you know about Noah Cahill?

He pokes around here, thinks he calls the shots.

This man was one of the last people to see her alive.

- Two missing girls. - You are not the only one

who wants to find these girls.

This is my investigation

and my town.

You're safe. You're gonna be OK.

Do you remember Rita?

No. No!

Rita's body wasn't the only one they found.

We got ourselves a serial killer.

We've exhumed nine victims so far.

The search obviously continues.

Have you identified the victims?

I can say we have identified several,

but we can give no details

until we have positively identified them

and notified next of kin.

Do you believe the killer is local?

There are no indications that the person

or persons who are behind these horrible acts

are from the local area.

Rest assured, the Westbrook Police Department

will be working round the clock on this.

Thank you.

You found her?

Kathy.

This is for Papi!

They're trying to spin this whole thing,

saying that the killer couldn't possibly be a local.

Maybe they think it's bad for business.

Have they identified more victims?

Yeah, they say they have, but the ME's report has been sealed.

OK, that smells like a cover-up.

You know what'd be really helpful there, Jet,

is if we could take a look at that report.

Are you suggesting that I should, uh, take a peek?

I leave it in your capable hands.

Copy that.

And the count's still at nine, right?

As of now, yeah.

Apparently all women, early to mid-20s.

So what's your next move?

I'm on my way to see Christine Olston,

talk with her again.

Uh, is now a good time for a friendly reminder

about your upcoming IAB meeting?

Stabler?

Here he is.

Judge,

welcome.

I don't care who's at fault here.

The task before us now is to, uh,

clean up this mess as quickly as possible.

And I have full confidence that my daughter,

our chief of police,

will do what's right

because she knows, as do the rest of us,

that some things need to stay buried.

We found nine so far.

They just keep coming.

I need help.

I need experts who know how to handle this sort of thing.

Can I give you some fatherly advice?

I'll take anything.

This is the biggest case of your career.

But your job right now

is to protect our quiet little community

and everything we've worked so hard to build here.

We have dead bodies in cold storage,

and you're telling me

protecting our town's reputation is my job right now?

Meredith, you know as well as I do

that we take care of our own around here.

Keep your eyes facing forward on what you have to do next,

like you've always done.

Doctor said I should be able to go home tomorrow.

That's great.

That's good to hear.

In the meantime, you know why I'm here.

I need to ask you a few questions,

starting with, is there anything else

you can tell me about the man who abducted you?

No, not really.

Nothing more than I already told you.

OK.

How about the party at the beach house

where you were working?

Did anyone approach you, ask you out for a date,

maybe hang out with you a little too long?

Lots of guys.

I knew what was going on at that party.

I thought I was there to serve drinks.

OK.

How'd you get the burner phone?

I didn't tell your parents.

I was in way over my head.

I had to get out of there, so I left.

Driving home, there was a buzz in my pocket.

And there's this phone.

So he slipped it into your coat pocket?

I answered it.

And the guy on the other end said he saw me at the party.

He hated parties like that too.

And he was also leaving.

Did he ask you to meet him somewhere?

Yeah.

I went home first.

My mom said it was too late to go out.

We got in a huge fight.

I stormed out of the house.

I arrived at Audrey's around 11:00

in the back parking lot,

which is what he told me to do.

And that's the last thing I remember

before you found me in that place.

So that's where the initial attack took place?

He just sounded so nice over the phone,

kind of charming.

He said he got me the phone

so that he could talk to me

and I could feel safe.

Stabler,

Chief Bonner is looking for you.

Keep getting better.

To be continued.

Bobby?

I used to be able to put this kind of thing in a box

and not let it throw me.

What's all this?

Victims found on Westbrook Cove Beach.

I hacked into the local ME's server.

- I probably shouldn't have. - Probably not.

This is not our case, Detective.

You're wrong. It is our case.

- Excuse me? - Jet.

Two years ago, Detective Stabler saved

Rita Lasku from a trafficking ring.

And now she's lying in a shallow grave

with eight other women.

Looks like Stabler didn't really save her after all,

which is why

we should do everything in our power to find those responsible.

As you were.

Wait, what just happened?

A text message came in on Christine Olston's phone

last night.

What did it say?

"I can't stop.

Can you stop me?"

It sounds like a taunt.

Who is he taunting? You?

Well, he's done it before, so...

What makes you so special?

Officer Logan, how about you pop down to Audrey's

- and get us a couple of coffees? - What?

Get something for yourself, too.

Here, my treat.

I'll take it black.

Sorry, procedure.

I understand.

What can you tell me about this guy?

I'm not a profiler. I'm not an expert.

Well, I don't need your expertise.

I need your gut.

OK, my opinion is that we're looking for a young man,

low self-esteem, loner.

But when he engages,

then we're looking at two, three people.

What? Do you mean he has accomplices?

No, personalities.

What I mean is,

one, you have a young man, shy,

um, difficulty engaging others.

And then all of a sudden, he'll see his prey.

Two, he becomes the hunter.

Now, in order to track down his prey,

he will summon up a combination of charm, brute force.

And then, three,

once he has secured his prey,

and from what little I've seen in that bunker,

then you have the monster.

I want to show you something.

Come with me.

We got nine female victims.

The five more recents appear to be early to mid-20s.

We're still analyzing the older remains.

Needless to say, we're a little backed up.

Right.
