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.

Pearl gave us a thumb drive that has the potential

to bury the Silas family.

48 hours later, she's in a coma.

Teddy, drop the bat.

He tried to kill my wife.

Your father was the one who paid

to have your wife murdered.

He's fled. Any idea where he might go?

You're closing the OC task force.

You do know what a big deal this is?

You have a new desk waiting for you at 1PP.

This task force was started because

of what happened to my wife.

My heart and soul are in this place.

You knew that.

Maybe you're just pissed

because I didn't ask for your permission.

You're the boss, so it's your prerogative, right?

Oh, sorry.

What gives?

New landlords are gonna change things up, I guess.

Excuse me.

What exactly are you planning to do here?

Just taking measurements for now.

Probably gonna make it more corporate.

Oh, you did not.

Merry Christmas.

It's, like, three weeks away.

It's never too early to be in the spirit.

Sarge.

Yeah?

I know it's early, but I've always been that guy

to get ahead of the rush.

And since we're officially done before the holidays.

Open it.

Sage.

To cleanse your new office.

You know where it is yet?

No, no, not yet.

Hey, Elliot.

Leaving this on your desk. Ah.

Thanks, man.

You didn't text me back last night.

I need time to think about it.

Okay.

Well, once you get a sense, you know, let me know.

I can help assign you to whatever unit you want.

You need my input?

I'm trying to help you.

Well, I'm good.

I'm good.

You're just gonna do it your way, right?

Well, seeing as it's served me all these years,

yeah, I guess I'll just do it my way.

Yeah, and Lord knows you went behind my back

every chance you got while you were here.

So you know what? Do you, Elliot.

I've always done everything for this unit,

for the good of this unit.

I never abandoned it.

Abandoned it?

I'm doing this for my family.

I would think you of all people would understand that.

Yeah, well, we're also your family.

Merry Christmas, everyone.

Excuse me.

I'm looking for Sergeant Bell and Detective Stabler.

They're in a meeting right now.

Can I help you?

I'm Robert Silas' attorney.

I'm here to negotiate for his surrender.

So what kind of cooperation deal are we talking about?

Robert's son is in custody right now.

In exchange for Robert's surrender,

he would like Teddy released from jail

and all charges dropped.

He nearly beat a man to death.

Think again.

The man was a known mob enforcer

who Teddy is claiming attacked him first.

I think that's self-defense.

What are you offering?

This is a list of names from the Russo crime family

you're going to recognize.

If we can come to terms,

Robert will offer his full cooperation on what he knows

regarding their business dealings,

as well as their other enterprises.

Robert tells me there are recorded conversations

to back up his claims of illegal activity.

So why would we trust what he has to say?

You don't have to believe anything right now.

Just give him a chance to speak.

And he promises full cooperation?

Mm-hmm.

All right. I'll be right back.

Robert Silas has been

the most morally corrupt human being since before I was born.

Tried to have his daughter-in-law killed,

but all of a sudden, he wants to do the right thing.

What happened?

He get visited by the Ghost of Christmas Future?

I'm not here to discuss motive, Detective.

Only to make a deal.

Well, you ask anyone in the city

who's made a deal with a Silas, and they'll tell you,

it doesn't work out the way they wanted it to.

Okay. The DA's willing to talk.

But Teddy's still looking at five years, minimum.

Well, I know that, and you know that,

but my client won't accept it until he hears it from you.

Wouldn't be the first bad guy we had to educate.

All right, we need a proffer agreement

and a full debriefing so we can understand

what the deal looks like.

How do we arrange that?

Robert is prepared to have a preliminary conversation

in a neutral location to hear you out.

Where?

Um, one second.

Okay.

Uh, yeah. I'll call you back.

So they want another squad to run point on this.

No. The Silas family's an OC case.

Yeah, but OC is shutting down.

In a week.

Look, Robert reached out to us for a reason.

If we don't follow through on this,

he's not gonna trust anybody else.

And Teddy called me when Pearl was in trouble.

Ayanna, it'll be our last case.

Ayanna?

All right. Find the location.

I'll deal with the DA.

Sarge, thanks.

Mark, it's Ayanna Bell again.

OC.

Yeah, uh, OC is gonna run point on this,

or there will be no deal.

I didn't check in with you first because...

I was trying to process it on my own.

And I was hoping this job was gonna give me

more normal hours so I could fight this custody thing.

But Denise...

I understand that.

I don't even know if I really want

this new job, to be honest.

It's just...

you know, everything's been out of whack

since Denise and I separated.

I don't even know who I am anymore.

You know, I used to have this family

to go home to, and...

And now, uh...

yeah, I'm just all alone at the end of the day.

It's strange.

Well, I get that.

The apartment is so empty since Eli's been gone.

You know, my mother's.

And since Kathy...

You have arrived at your destination.

Really? Well, where the hell are we?

I'll text the lawyer.

Hey, you getting any signal?

Yeah, I got, uh one... no.

I don't have any.

Okay. Oh wait, I got one.

Hold on.

This looks abandoned.

Yeah, I think this is one of his properties.

Okay, she responded.

Red door.

Go to the third floor.

Take the staircase in front of you.

Mr. Silas?

Just follow the music.

Mr. Silas?

Detective Stabler. Sergeant Bell.

I noticed there wasn't a DA with you when you got here.

They're on standby.

Once we understand what you're willing to share,

I'll call them.

Right to brass tacks.

How I like to do business as well.

Years ago, I started making notes on all my deals.

Names, places, photos.

Even got in the habit...

Of recording conversations.

Must have sat in 1,000 rooms

and took money, bribes, kickbacks.

Paid for problems to disappear if that didn't work.

If they did business with me, they're in one

of these cabinets somewhere.
