Where's Joey?

Joe Jr. is in Europe.

No, he came to the apartment.

I told you I saw him at the apartment.

What's your, uh,

appetite for getting
a little creative here?

- Like?
- Like we used to.

Let's go for a ride.

No matter what happens,
know that I love you.

No, no, no. Joey, listen to me.

I can bring you in. I can protect you.

Joey.

Dad?

Dad?

Dad.

Are you OK?

Yeah, all good.

What did Uncle Joe say?

Not much. He had to run.

But the main thing is
that he's doing well,

so that's great news.

You don't look like it was great.

No, no, no. Everything is fine.

Yeah, I don't mean to worry you.

No, no, no.

Uncle Joe's in a situation

that he's just got to get himself out of

and figure out. It...
it's going to be fine.

So help Grandma pack her bags

and get her over to Uncle Randall's, OK?

- Sure.
- All right.

- I... I love you.
- I love you, too.

- All right.
- But, Dad...

- Yeah?
- Be careful.

Always.

Margaret Thatcher once said...

do you know who Margaret Thatcher is?

Heard the name.

But who was she?

Are you asking me
because you don't know?

Or are you just trying
to make me look stupid?

She was the prime
minister of England, Joe.

Mm.

She said something once
that resonated with me.

May I share it with you?

Go ahead.

"If you set out to be liked,

you should be prepared to compromise

on anything at any time.

And you will achieve nothing."

I know your little secret, Joe.

I'm not on this Earth to be liked.

Or compromise.

Tell you what.

Instead of talking about it,
I'll demonstrate it for you.

Please, just stop.

I swear...

I'll make this right.

I gave his organization an opportunity.

And he broke my trust.

Put at risk what you and I
had worked so hard for, Joe.

He wanted to renegotiate.

After we'd already come to terms.

Cursed at me,

insulted my business acumen,

and made the most horrible predictions

about my future in this industry.

To re-engage now would be
to compromise, would it not?

I can make this right.

Swear to God.

Mm.

What's the prudent move here?

Your call.

I think he got the message.

Still got a lot to learn, Joe.

Trash the place.

Make it look like a robbery gone bad.

When does this useful
idiot become useful?

Do you have a brother
who's a New York cop?

One that we can move around
the chessboard as we see fit?

No.

So shut the fuck up.

Change your shirt.

Uh, that call you
received at the hospital

came from a burner phone.

Now, whoever made the call,

they pulled the SIM
card after they hung up,

but it pinged off a
tower in Queens, so...

Um, so whoever it was,
you know, they, uh...

I want to talk about Julian Emery.

Ah...

Pull up the last digital
file that you had on him.

Wait, Julian Emery? Why?

OK.

OK. Uh, Julian Emery.

Uh, let's see.

International arms dealer
and known drug trafficker.

Six months ago,

he went underground after
we raided the airport.

Now what we know is that the Russians

confiscated his main stockpile
of weapons out of Belarus.

And he lost the heroin
deal with the Afghans.

And you've got no hits on him since?

No.

What? Why, do you
think he's above ground?

I think when you lose big-ticket items

like the ones he's lost,
your bottom line takes a hit.

Do you think Emery is back in New York?

I don't know, but I'm going to find out.

Is that who called you?

No.

Was it Joe?

Do you remember that list I asked for?

Uh, yeah, yeah, let's see.

Um...

Pulling up the list of cities
that Joe called your mom from.

Amsterdam, Madrid, Baghdad.

Oh, there's one I missed, too.

Uh, Damascus.

Mm. How'd that slip through?

Well, uh, the call came
through a VolP service,

which was routed through
a number of servers

and the system tagged it as untraceable

because it couldn't pinpoint a location.

But then I went back through the logs

and a new patch I had in the software

helped me to resolve it.

Yeah, I mean, sometimes these things

slip through the cracks because
you're dealing with a lot

when you're dealing with
international routing.

Um, but, uh, the last...

last city he was in
was, uh, Damascus, Syria.

- Stabler.
- Elliot, it's Tim McKenna.

Hey, Tim.

What's up?

Hey, look, uh...

I'm at a crime scene on 53rd and 3rd

and, uh, I found something I
think you might want to see.

Anything in particular?

Not on the phone.

On my way.

So the victim, Manuel Chavez,

he's a high-level advisor to Raul Diego.

Yeah, a cocaine trafficker.

- Mm-hmm.
- OK.

Runs one of the largest
networks in Colombia.

So, uh, allegedly,

this was a smash and
grab that went sideways,

but I don't buy it.

- Looks staged.
- Mm?

So what was it that

you couldn't tell me over the phone?

Oh.

Yeah, I...

You were on that Boone Farm heroin case

a while back, if my
memory serves me right.

That's right.

And the last time we spoke,
you told me your brother, Joe,

mm, was involved as a CI on that case.

That still the deal?

Let's say that he is.

So I found this here on an end table.

It's got the Boone's one-eyed skull.

Now, I haven't seen that package
on the street in over six months.

And it looks too new to
be dead stock, so, uh...

look.

Your brother, Julian Emery,

look, I don't know what's going on here.

But I do know that I cannot have

that prick bringing in
Afghani dope stateside again.

Kay.

All right, I'll see what
I can find on my end.

Appreciate your calling me down.

Want me to vouch for this?

No, I'll do that.

- All right.
- Thanks.

Inconclusive.

Means it couldn't be identified.

Well, I know what it
means. Test it again.

Tested it three times.

No fentanyl, heroin, coke,
MDMA, or PCP were found.

So something new.

New to me, at least.

I sent a sample to NIJ.
They got fancy tools.

They'll pull it apart,
identify what's what.

How long?

Could be a few days.

Hey, you know somebody over there

you can pull a favor with, have at it.

That's how these things work sometimes.

Yeah. Thanks.

Tanner.

Hi.

- What are you doing here?
- Same thing you are.

That packet you just
tested was flagged by CTB.

Oh, yeah. Wow.

Word really travels fast, huh?

Yeah, the internet.

- It's really high-speed
these days. - Yeah, it is.

So how did you get your
hands on that bindle?

Buddy of mine out of narcotics.

What's your interest in all this?

It's a new drug.

It's called Captagon.

It's a psychoactive
stimulant, highly addictive.

Like, next-level opioid
crisis on steroids addictive.

Where's it coming out of?

The Syrian government.

The proceeds mainly fund

rebuilding the country's infrastructure.

The rest go to terrorist activities.

Your turn.

Why'd your buddy in narcotics

give you first bite of the apple?

That would compromise my CI.

Oh. And who would that be?

Like I said, that
would compromise my CI.

Well, I'm here to help.

Great. I appreciate that.

I'll give you a call if I need anything.

Well, that wasn't an offer.

Counterterrorism is involved now.

We're working side-by-side on this op.

Eagle's finally been put to bed

and is happily sawing logs.

- Good.
- How's your dad?

You said he was meeting us here.

No, I said I hoped he'd meet us here.

What? No, that's...
that's not what he said.

W-well, wait.

Uh, he, um...

- yeah, he had to go to work.
- What?

Mom wants him here. What work came up?

- I don't know.
- Kathleen.

Don't lie to your uncle.

Where is he?

Uncle Joe called him.

And?

I know Emery's been
traveling through Europe

and the Middle East.

And you know this how?

My source.

Ah, yes, the CI with no name.

Mm-hmm.

And you believe Emery's
last location was Damascus?

Second to last. We believe
his last location was Queens.

Here? Why?

Well, his pipelines have dried up

and his business partners have cut bait.

Now we believe that

he's trying to reestablish
himself here with the Captagon.

Huh. What better way
to score a huge deal

than in the richest, most
addicted country in the world?

And we think the Syrians
are helping him with it.

So, uh, what, he's positioning himself

as the main broker and
distributor for this stuff?

Does sound like Emery, right?

It's very risky for him to be here.

That's why it's got
to be worth his time.

I think we're talking a very big payday.

Yeah, and imminent.

One thing I don't know.

Does Emery still have the infrastructure

to distribute here in the States?

Maybe the Syrians do?

I'm going to have my
team look into that.

Yeah, sounds good.

And you believe that your mystery CI

was somehow at this murder scene

and intentionally left the
bindle there to clue us in?

I do believe that.

And look at us here, all clued in.

OK, fine.

So what's our next move?

Uh, we wait for a call from my brother.

What?

My brother's my CI.

Uh, is he a registered CI?

His name is Joe.

And no, this is all kind
of off the books stuff.

So what's his angle?

Is he working off charges

or just doing this out of
the goodness of his heart?

Your concerns are
noted, but I trust him.

And right now, he's our inside track.

So...

we're going to wait for his call.

That's the next move.

- Stabler.
- Hey.

I gotta move quick

or Emery's going to start
wondering where I am.

You all right?

Yeah, I'm good.

Listen, uh, that thing I mentioned.

It's happening tonight.

Where?

Warehouse near the corner
of Bay and Columbia.

They got this carpet store
they're using as a front.

Is Emery going to be there?

He's closing a big deal
with a new distributor.

Calling it his retirement plan.

Give me a name.

Sadat Majid, Turkish.

And Elliot...

apparently, this guy rolls
with a ton of firepower,

so come prepared.

Well, how about you?
What are you going to do?

Don't worry about me.

We're close to ending
this thing, though.

I know that wasn't easy, JoJo.

But it will all be worth it.

Yeah.

Come on.

Appears this case is picking up steam.

Yes, it does.

Your brother involved in this?

A bit more than I'd like.

Sadat Majid...

he on your radar over at narcotics?

Very much so.

He's mostly moving product.

But he's got no problem getting
his hands dirty if he's cornered.

Mm. Don't we all?

Police!

Drop the guns! Drop 'em!

On the ground!

Him.

Where is he?

Where is he?

Don't know him.

Yeah, right.

Decent bust.

Not what I expected.

Seven kilos.

That's five years a brick.

Could be a lot less

if you just tell us what
you know about Julian Emery.

One more time.

I've never heard of this man.

And at this point in
our lovely conversation,

I'm going to invoke my
right to legal counsel.

I'm inclined to believe him
that he doesn't know Emery.

He has nothing in his jacket

or priors that has them together.

I mean, unless I'm missing something.

Mm, no.

Trying to put the whole
picture together myself.

Hey, it's Sergeant Bell again.

- She wants...
- I'll call her back.

Mm-hmm.

She's probably not going to be too happy

to find out that I was here.

Maybe she doesn't need to find out.

That'd be cool.

All right, so I'll, uh,
take him to narcotics.

I'm going to process him and, um,

I'll let you know if his memory
suddenly kicks in or something.

Thanks, Tim.

Your brother said this Majid
character was going to be there.

He said Emery was
going to be there, too.

OK, so he was half right.

Do you have any idea about
the vagaries of the drug game?

I mean, shit happens all the time.

It goes sideways. People
flake, plans change.

You know, guys get thrown
into the trunks of cars.

Hey.

I'm not trying to dunk on your brother.

I'm approaching this
as a clear-eyed cop.

I think you would do the same

because I'm pretty fucking sure

that we just took out
Emery's competition.

S-so are you saying that
my... my brother played me?

I'm saying

Emery is trying to clear a path
to make a deal with the Syrians

and with Majid off the board,
that path is a lot clearer.

So you're suggesting that

my brother's actually working for Emery?

I don't know. Is he?

You know him better than I do.

Where is he? Why hasn't
he checked in with you?

Something's not right here, Elliot.

He's not being honest with you,

and I think that's pretty clear.

Uh, excuse me.

Uh, Detective Stabler,
you have a visitor.

I'm going to go check in with my team.

Never should have told
him where I worked.

Buzz him in!

I'm telling you, I've
called you a million times!

You just shut me out!

It's called business, Randall.

It's not business, it's family!

This is our family. All right?

This is our mom. What if she finds out?

She's not going to find out!

What's going on with Joey?

I'm trying to figure
out as you yell at me!

I'm not yelling! You're yelling!

You know, I warned
you about this, Elliot.

And now I...

shit! I swear to God,
I'm getting premonitions.

All right? And I don't get premonitions.

And I certainly don't like
talking about premonitions,

but it's dark, Elliot. It's really dark.

Something bad's going to happen to Joe,

so I need you to give
me something right now!

He's in New York.

What? How long has that been?

Why didn't you tell me?

Because the case he's
been working came with him,

and I don't...

I don't know what side of
the street he's working.

I don't know where he's going to land.

What? What does that mean?
He's going to be in prison?

I don't know. I just...

the moves he's making don't make sense.

And you know how he is. I mean,

it's always gotta be harder
with him than it needs to be.

All right, listen.

I'm the big brother.

I'm here. I'm going
to help. What can I do?

I got no way to reach him.

Look, maybe he's still
trying to call Mom.

You want to help me out?

- Yeah.
- You sit on Mom's phone.

I can do that.

And if he calls,

you tell him to call me immediately,

because this is about to blow up.

OK, that's done.

How'd you get more handsome?

- Dad.
- I'm serious.

Most handsome geezer I've ever seen.

Girls throwing rocks at your window yet?

No.

Well, you better tell your mum

to get the double-pane kind,

because it's only a matter of time.

When am I going to get
to see you again, Dad?

Soon, Giles.

Very soon.

But, um, unfortunately,
I have to pop off now.

Five more minutes, please?

If only I could.

Love you, champ.

I love you, too.

Might be the last time I see him.

How fucked up is that?

There's always a way.

No.

No, not after this.

We have to disappear.

We'll be unaccountably
wealthy, admittedly,

but, um...

we'll have to disappear.

OK.

Game plan. Run me through it.

Easy.

I tell Elliot the deal's
going down in Staten Island.

We're done.

Correct.

It's very important you sell this, Joe.

It's very important that
your brother goes there

so that we can freely conduct
our business in Bay Ridge.

You understand?

Look me in the eye and
tell me you understand.

I understand.

Good.

Wonderful.

Let's go.

Are you being careful of the eggshells?

Yes, Grandma.

Nothing worse than biting
into a piece of shell.

Bleh.

I can think of worse things.

Is the toast burning?

No.

- Randall.
- No!

The toast is burning.

No, it's just stuck in this thing.

Uh...

you're... you're jumpy today.

You know, it's like you're
keeping something from me.

I'm keeping from you the fact

that I don't like to be
told how to make toast, OK?

No, it's different than that.

It's like that time that

you wrapped our Volkswagen Dasher

around that tree and
then didn't even tell us

about it for a full 24 hours.

Here, Grandma, check the eggs.

I want you to be sure
there are no shells.

Hello.

Joey?

Yeah, it looks pretty good.

Look, I know it's you.

Call Elliot now or everything
that's been cooking up

is going to get flushed, do you hear me?

It's coming straight
from him. You got it?

Tell him to meet me
at the spot in an hour.

He'll know.

You worry too much.

Come on, El.

I'm clean, six months.

I didn't ask you if you were.

Yeah, but I know that look.

Home stretch.

- Huh?
- Yeah.

Here we are.

Turkish drug connection
at the rug store.

Why wasn't Emery there?

He got spooked. Last minute.

What do you mean spooked?

Did the raid compromise
us, compromise you?

No, no, no, he just
gets like this sometimes.

It's no big deal.

Couldn't give me a heads-up?

He's attached to my hip, Elliot.

But I'm telling you I'm in.

Talking inner circle, his confidant.

You look comfortable.

What's that supposed to mean?

Just, you know,

settling into the role, lifestyle.

Jets, champagne, you know.

Suits you. Maybe a little too much.

That's what you think of me?

I'm still just a fuckup?

- I didn't say that, Joey.
- Then what?

I'm a rat? Is that it?

How about this, Elliott?

How about I'm just good at my job?

How about you don't get it twisted?

I never wanted you involved
in this in the first place.

God, this... this isn't
about what you want!

I'm the one

who put his ass on the line
for the last six months!

I'm the one who drove this thing

to the fucking 1-yard line!

We are this close!

I'm about to give it all to you!

You know what? Fine, fuck it.

You quit.

Just hand me off to another cop

who's not going to trip on
some big brother bullshit!

- Joey.
- What?

Joey, let's take the temperature down.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

Let's just get to it.

All right. Captagon.

Yeah.

What I left for you in the townhouse.

Emery's about to move
$300 million worth of it.

How's he doing that?

Syrians. It's coming in by air.

Where did he get that much product?

The nerve gas you confiscated,

Emery had a lot more.

Sold it to some bad
players in Eastern Europe,

bought his way in to the Syrians.

They're his suppliers.

- Names?
- They don't say names.

At least not to me, anyway.

But Emery's meeting his Syrian connect

and a potential buyer tonight.

- In New York?
- Yeah.

Miller Airfield. Staten Island, 8:00.

I'll get you a tail number
as soon as I know it.

You being straight with me?

Yeah, I'm being straight with you.

Swear on Mom's life?

I swear on Ma's life.

Speaking of Mom...

she, uh...

she knows that I was meeting with you.

I mentioned it to her.

And she, uh, wants me to give you this.

Why?

Eh, you know...

so you'll be safe, I
guess? I don't know.

Look up.

How's she doing?

Eh, she's doing. She's Ma, you know.

She know about me?

You're the one who's been visiting her.

So I guess she knows you're alive.

Well, does she know I'm clean?

Make sure she knows I'm clean.

Joey, she never knew you were using.

Come home.

When it's over with, come home.

Yeah.

Miller Airfield, Staten
Island, 8:00 tonight.

I got it.

Captain, your team ready?

We're ready to go when you are.

Go time.

You good?

My brother's got to
come home in one piece.

Let's make that happen.

Manado. Have you been?

I know the mayor.

I know his daughter even better.

She has a sister.

Hmm?

That's where we'll go
when the deal closes.

Relax.

There's no extradition
treaty with Manado.

Your brother will never find us.

Right?

Yeah.

You told him Miller
Airfield on Staten Island?

Yes, I told him.

That's new. What is it?

Oh, St. Christopher medal.

My brother gave it to me when we met up.

Mom wants me to have it.

Mm, how sweet.

Patron saint of travelers.

Do you believe in God, JoJo?

Yeah.

Yeah, I do.

Let me guess. You were an altar boy.

I was.

Do they even have those anymore?

Can't imagine they do.

Liability insurance alone.

Two minutes out.

You're my best friend, JoJo.

I don't say that enough.

Yeah, me too.

OK, checking in.

East side, that's our primary breach.

Team one, that's your entry.

Team two, you're going
to cover the north exit.

Team three, hold at the
perimeter for runners.

No lights, no sirens.
Element of surprise is key.

Is your heart racing?

Mine isn't, for some reason.

I think I'm already relaxing
on that beach in Manado.

We've got a cop caravan headed our way.

- What?
- Right now.

Did you tell your brother Staten Island?

Yes, I-I swear to God.

- Get your...
- Then...

You're wearing a tracker, Joe.

It's confirmed. They're
at the warehouse.

30 seconds out.

They're here.

Well, we're ready. Go around back.

- Hit the door.
- Good to go.

On your flank.

Move, move. Go, go, go.

Hit it.

Go.

Go, go, go.

Go.

Here.

Go, go.

Get in the car!

Come on!

Vargas!

I'm in pursuit of Emery
headed to the Belt Parkway.

OK.

Got your location.

Sending it to the team.

He's taking a ride on 49th.

I can get eyes trying
to use traffic cams.

Vehicle is stopped.

Switching to comms.

They're on foot.

I'm going to search the area.

OK, got your location. Sending backup.

Hello.

I have your brother.

I need a favor from you.

Emery, listen to me.

No, you listen to me.

Your brother Joe has
caused quite a stir.

And now I have to leave town.

Remove the APB on me or he dies.

OK, I'll work on the APB.

Sounds like it's already too late.

No, no, no. No, no, I can hold them off.

I'll work on the APB
and I'll hold them off.

Just don't hurt Joe.

I found Joey. I need a bus.

I need a bus!

Hey.

Hey, it's me.

Come here.

Help is on the way. Come on.

- I mailed it, El.
- OK, good work.

- Mm-hmm? - Good work.
Right now, though,

right now, that's it. I need
you to breathe and stay awake.

- I mailed it.
- OK, good, good.

Just stay with me, 'cause
we got to get to see Mama.

- Mm.
- Mama's been looking for you.

Mm-hmm.

- OK.
- OK.

- OK.
- OK.

Tell her I was clean. OK?

Can you tell her I was clean?

Hey...

You tell her yourself.

- You tell her yourself.
- No, no, I...

- Breathe.
- No.

Just stay with me. Just stay with me.

Just make sure she knows.

I... yeah, you tell her yourself.

Stay with me.

Joey, stay with me.

Joey, Joey.

Breathe. Joey, stay with me.

Joey, stay with me.

Detective Stabler.

- Yeah?
- I'm sorry.

But, uh, need to do this by the book.

Did you see the shooter?

You see anyone leaving the scene?

No, I didn't.

Did you touch the body, move anything?

Y...

H...

mm.

Yeah, I held... I held him.

I held him.

All right.

I'll need to get your official
statement soon as you're ready.

You're the witness now.

Yeah.

I understand.

Take a moment.

Any word on Emery?

No, not yet.

You should go be with your family.

Yeah.

I got this from here.

I'm really sorry, man.

I appreciate that, Tim.

What did you want to talk about?

I, uh...

cut out of the raid
a little parting gift.

Emery's muscle.

Caught him fleeing the shootout,

and, uh...

I was going to book him.

Then I heard about
your brother, so, uh...

we can take him in.

Or we can go for a ride.

Let's go for a ride.
