My brother's a MCI.

He's our inside track, so I trust him.

So what's our next move?

I found this here on an end table.

I don't see what I can find to buy it.

That packet you just tested was a new drug.

Highly addictive.

Emory's about to move $300 million worth of it. I never wanted you involved in

this in the first place. It isn't about what you want. I'm about to give it all

to you.

We've got a cop caravan headed our way. What?

Right now.

You're wearing a tracker, Joe.

Joey's still in... Joey's still in... I found something I think you might want

to see.

Emery's muscle.

I was going to book him.

Then I heard about your brother.

Let's go for a ride.

Cut him down.

Relax, listen to me.

Julian Emery is in New York.

Tell us where he is, we avoid all the simpletoness. I'm not telling you shit,

because you're not going to do shit.

You can't.

You're a copper.

You see a badge?

I'll see a badge.

Can I redo your rights?

Don't matter.

What, are you going to do waterboard me?

Nah. You're going to swing dick for a minute.

Feel like a big man.

And then you're going to take me to the station.

You know, Franchetti's is going to open real soon. They got those cinnamon buns.

Would you like one of those, Vincent?

No, I'm pissed off.

Great.

I'll get a box.

Vincent Mathis.

Been doing this kind of work for a very long time. You're a dangerous man.

Been around.

Seen things.

Done things.

But you have no idea the lengths I'm gonna go to to get what I want.

Hey! What are you doing, man?

Stop! Fucking hell.

God damn, you're crazy.

What the fuck is wrong with you?

Fuck.

You're in a very bad situation.

So am I.

I don't want to be here.

You brought me here.

You and Emery.

You made this happen.

You're going to answer my question.

And you can do it now or after I put out the fire.

Good to have you back, man. Feels good to be back, boss.

A lot of new faces.

Yeah, all hands on deck for this one. You need a brief?

No, I'm caught up. Are we sure Emery's still in town?

He and his man Mathis were the only two unaccounted for after the bust. Been

coordinating with TSA, local transit police, and Port Authority, trying to

a net around the city.

Dumbest thing Emery could do right now is try to skip.

Okay, so he's holed up off grid somewhere waiting for the dust to clear.

and I'm scouring all CCTV channels, facial reg, plate readers.

Go and get your sink on this before I get bumpkin. No, he's not going to pop

out. He's not going to use his old network either. Right. So if Emery's

bed with the Syrians, there might be a deeper connection there.

I'm on it.

You talk to Staley yet?

Yeah. He's with his family.

I just got word he's on bereavement leave.

He must really be hurting, because that's not like him.

Yeah.

Oh, this is Detective Tanner.

Sergeant Bell, certainly we could talk in private.

Yeah.

Hey. Reyes. Tanner.

The Captagon deal is going through.

We just picked up chatter that the Syrians are bringing a shipment into the

city. Two tons.

But we don't know where or when.

So Emery wasn't just a matchmaker and the Syrians weren't spooked by last

night's bust.

We also have a new directive from command. We find Emery, we bring him in

Non -lethal force only. Understood?

Understood.

One other thing. I'm just going to ask this straight up.

If they were going to steer clear of this one, he'll be fine. Okay.

I got to bounce.

All good?

Yeah, one of my CIs got something on the steering connection and wants to talk

in private.

You really don't want one of these.

Have them go light on the frosting for you.

Yeah, I'm sure.

Hey.

I'm sorry about your brother.

How you feeling?

Remember Tim McKenna? Sure.

How things going?

We need some help.

Anything you need, but a wild cloak and dagger.

Is that Vincent Mathis?

Why do you smell like lighter fluid?

What's the new cologne?

Flammable core home.

Never heard of that?

Yo, man.

You know I'll ride for you.

But CTV's running the show now, and Tanner's already on us about you.

Look, we can take care of Emery.

Just go home and be with your family. What are you doing?

Bobby. Bobby, I don't want you doing anything you're not comfortable with.

But you know what?

I need an assist right now.

When I came to you.

Hi, what do you need?

Pistorius Global Partners. It's a shell company that paid Emory to broker the

deal that we just busted up. Yeah.

Pistorius has been snatching up real estate all over the city.

Syrians are parking assets stateside now.

But we can't find anything that points to Emory's location.

Working networks.

Maybe they heard something, but we just... We gotta have something solid.

Alright, give me some time and we'll see what I can find.

Good.

We're going to need you to put this guy on ice for a while.

Also, take some time on the payboard.

It don't take a genius to see where this is headed.

And I'm telling you right now, you get to Emory before us, you're calling it

Let me know what you find.

What you thinking?

Knock on the door.

Can't get it out of my head.

What do you mean?

12 years at SVU. Worst part of the job was knocking on that door.

The notification.

Telling the family their loved ones weren't coming home.

When they're finally able to look at you, the light's gone.

The light, their eyes.

It's vanished.

Their souls left their body and the other one has killed them.

I haven't told my mother about Joey.

So you're the knock at the door now?

I know where you're at.

It's like a heaviness that just never leaves you.

There's no end to it. There's no fix for it.

And you think that if you're off the guy that's done this to you, that somehow

it's going to end your suffering and bring you some little peace to your

maybe your head, family.

Am I getting close?

No.

What you're planning on doing, I'm with you.

But you gotta know, revenge doesn't bring light.

Just a different kind of darkness.

Raise.

Look at these dudes.

You guys need something?

Yeah, we're looking for Tony Yard. Is he here?

No. Why don't you come back some other time?

Well, yeah, we're already here.

But don't stress.

We'll find him.

Okay, I don't know who you guys are, but you need to get your asses out of here,

right?

Behave yourself.

Behave yourself.

Hey! I just called the cops.

You must be Tony. Nice to meet you.

Cops are on the way right now, tough guy. Well, they're already here.

Motherfucker.

Shit. So, Tony, let's make it easy. I'll ask you questions, you give me answers.

How's that sound?

Eat shit.

Okay.

Now, Tony, you have a company that supplies construction material to

owned by Pistorius Global Partners.

So what?

Pistorius is a front for a Syrian drug cartel. That's what's so what.

Now, Julian Emery is trying to strike a distribution deal with them.

I have no idea what you're talking about. I am going to rip this here right

of your head. Now, we know you're tight with the Spirians. You want to be cozy

with them? We don't care.

Or we can let them know that you're a rat.

Where's Julian Emery?

All right, all right, all right.

I gave him some cash and a list of properties he could stay at.

But that's it.

He didn't tell me which one he was going to use.

You're gonna give us that lift, then you're gonna forget you saw our faces.

All right,

I'm good now. What am I looking at?

21 residential locations, all of them unfinished remodeling jobs.

And you're thinking Emery's holed up in one of these spots.

All right, let me run it up the pole to Tanner and see if she can coordinate it.

Don't. Don't. Not yet.

Elliot, we can't hold on to actionable intel.

Give me an hour's head start.

Half hour and that's it and I'm calling it in.

Copy.

What the hell is wrong with you, huh?

Randall. What the hell is wrong with you?

Your brother's dead and you just disappear, leaving me to keep the family

together on my own? Keep it down enough. Fuck that!

Kids are asking questions their father should be answering, not me.

You need to come home, at least. I will.

Eventually. What's the holdup?

I'm working on something.

Working on getting yourself killed.

Maybe this will help.

Got delivered today. Joey mailed it to Mom.

The note said, for Elliot.

This is it.

When he was in my arms, he said, I mailed it, I mailed it.

And I thought, I don't know what I thought, but this has got to be it. This

what he was talking about.

I tried to open it, but it's Friday.

You know, I'll get into it. Look, mom's house out in Montauk.

Yeah, I got a list of the Airbnb. What about it? I need you to take everybody

out there. Do it quietly.

Why? What's all for?

It's just for a few days in case things go sideways.

Are the same people that killed Joey coming after you?

I'm going after them.

Don't do it.

Leave it alone.

Joey wouldn't want you to.

You got people to take care of here, Elliot.

Go to Montauk.

Listen to me.

A single police bust is irrelevant.

Our plans remain unchanged.

Can you just take the long view for a second? The market's not going anywhere.

I will absolutely handle it. I am personally meeting new distributors

the drop.

I will get it done.

I just called Stabler again, and he didn't answer.

He's got a lot on his plate, boss.

There he is. I know him.

I know how he moves.

AWOL is not his vibe. Have you talked to him?

All right, folks, listen up. We got our first real lead here, a person of

interest, Tony Yared. He's a Lebanese -American businessman, works in

construction. We think that he's Emery's point person in New York. We sent a

team to pick him up, and he's gone to ground.

Let's get on it.

Reach out to some of your CIs.

See if they can help you find out who's helping Garrett disappear.

We need to find this guy as quick as possible.

Hey.

Hey. What's going on? I thought you were on leave.

I need you to find out whatever's on this drive as fast as possible. It's

broken, so you're gonna have to work your magic.

Yeah, but I'll give it a shot. I mean, what's this about?

The less you know, the better. Just crack it, send me the files, and keep

between us, okay?

Why don't you come to the office?

I mean, if it's a real lead, we'll run it by Tanner. Kyle.

It's all I have left of my brother.

Please do that.

Almost there. Let me get the door for you, Ma.

So, Kathleen and the rest of the crew are on their way. We're just going to

a little get -together with everybody.

Yeah.

And you invited Joey, too.

Because last time he was here, he left some stuff here.

Yeah, I'll tell him. Just go ahead and I'll grab our stuff.

Let's see.

Where was it?

Oh, it could be right there.

Yeah.

There it is.

Oh.

Oh.

Oh, I wish it made it.

You remember?

What's up?

I wish you'd made it as a cop.

Let me see that.

Ray, have you got something?

I think so.

There's one address on the list you sent.

The health department and building management got notified of a scheduled

fumigation for the unit. Now I contacted the company listed on the notice. Job

was canceled.

That's a good way to make sure nobody comes through.

Send the address.

Hey, where'd Reyes go?

Uh, don't know.

Is everything okay?

Yeah.

That's it.

Look, I can't sit on this Stabler, all right?

If Henry's hiding out there, we got to move on him before he dips.

Look, Bobby, just give me 20 minutes. I'm heading there now.

Ray.

Yes, Sarge. I need your eyes on something.

Yeah, I was just on the phone with my CI, so.

Still haven't heard from Stabler?

No, I haven't heard from him.

It's admirable.

To reach down and lend a helping hand to your fellow officer.

But don't let him pull you into the deep end along with him.

Clear? Clear.

I think we just missed him.

Right in the warm.

Yeah? Is that an exact sign?

It is when you have the time on the delivery receipt.

I think we missed him by about 30 minutes.

Hey. What do you got?

I think you may have something here.

What's that? That's my phone.

Yeah? Ain't my SIM card.

There's some call logs. We got texts.

Search history.

Looks like Mr. Emery's been texting his ex -wife.

Stop your complaining.

If the boy's bored, take him to Central Park.

His family's in New York. That's right.

Any sign of Emory?

No.

Okay, well, the way I see it, we've got two options.

Sit here and wait for Emory to show, or stroll on up to the door and pay his

family a visit.

Yeah. Hell yeah.

Yeah?

Just a conversation.

Yeah. I mean, yeah.

Of course.

someone called in a bomb threat and you're sure it was a hoax?

I'm 90 % sure.

We're going to check off some boxes just for the paperwork.

We'll be out of here in about 15 minutes' time.

Okay. But first, actually, is your husband here?

My ex, he lives abroad. We're divorced.

Oh, yeah, me too.

Kind of the same boat with my kid.

Got to be tough being without your dad, huh?

See him often?

We travel frequently. That's when he sees his father.

Well, it must be cool to go to Europe then, huh?

I never said he lived in Europe.

No, you didn't.

Can I see your badges again, please?

Of course.

Yeah, like I was saying.

You know, make for me, Dad.

It's going to be hard. Can you imagine being without your mom, too?

It would be awful, right?

Will you excuse me?

Of course.

Giles, you keep the detective's company for me.

If you take this deal, they'll look for distribution in Florida or Texas or

some... Do you want to make money or not?

Look, be there tonight or I'll find some... I'll call you back.

What is it, Allegra? Rather busy at the moment.

There are two NYPD detectives in my living room talking to us. Son, are you

busy for that?

What are their names?

McKenna and Stabler.

Stabler. What have you done, and why are they here?

Allegra, I need you to calm down.

Don't handle me, Julian. I'm not going to calm down, and I'm not going to... I

don't.

You know what?

You can deal with this yourself.

You wanted to speak to Julian, right?

That's why you're really here. I've got him on the line.

I'm serious.

Julian, you're on speaker.

Hello, Detective Stabler.

Amber Valley.

What's that, some kind of granola bar?

No, no. When both parents are incarcerated, that's where they put the

a center for children that's run through the foster system. You

just come on in.

We can sort things out, and your son can stay with his mother. Julian, just do

what he says.

You're bluffing.

Turn yourself in, or I swear to God, this will be the last time you ever talk

your son.

Todd!

Hey, champ.

Remember what I said?

Most handsome geezer that ever was.

You'll be fine in life.

You will not take my son away from me. I promise you that.

Don't worry about that. He was right.

We were bluffing.

And Giles, so is your dad. He's bluffing. He's going to do everything he

see you again.

Thank you.

You got him?

Uh... Got him.

Plates and everything.

Uh, looks like he's heading to Red Hook.

All right, keep me updated. Hey, how's it going with that USB?

Uh, look, I'm working on it, but the data's pretty corrupted.

I think it might have been exposed to a magnetic field or a voltage spike.

All right, stay with it.

Red Hook Marine Terminal?

Let's be where the cat gun's coming in. All right.

Randall. Hey, Elliot.

Hey, uh... Mom was digging through an old box of junk at the Montauk house,

she found something.

Now's not a good time.

It's an application Joe filled out for the NYPD.

What? Yeah, check your phone. I sent you a photo of it.

It's from a few years back, and it wasn't finished.

Never told you?

No, I had no idea.

Later.

Joe wanted to be a cop.

Huh? Yeah.

Yeah, I guess.

Hold on, hold on a minute.

How do you want to play this?

What does that mean?

Well, I mean, given that Emory and his boys are going to be fully geared up.

And all we got is two service webinars.

Say what you want to say.

Look, you and me can go in like Butch and Sundance.

Or we can call it and get some backup and try to restate these odds a bit.

I seem to remember that Butch and Sundance didn't do too well.

Your call.

Are you still in the system?

Uh, a little busy here. I know that, but look, I'm working on something kind of

important here, and I just got locked out. So do you mind if I get on to

What were you doing?

You know what? Never mind. I don't think I could stomach you coming up with some

bullshit cover.

I know you've been helping Stabler.

You too, Reyes.

Save it.

You two compromised a counterterrorism investigation.

Do you understand what kind of shitstorm this is going to bring down on us?

You better tell me what Stabler's planning, and you better tell me right

hell now.

Sarge!

I know where Emery's going.

Don't bother looking at them. You just... Look, this is on me, and I'm

to pay the consequences that are coming my way. Oh, there will be many.

Sarge, I understand.

We can sit here and discuss all the ways that I fucked up, or we can get after

Emery.

Last pilot on the truck.

All right,

they're loading the last of the product now. I count 12 hostiles.

They're strapped and they're ready to move out now.

Okay, everybody listen up.

ESU is 10 minutes away. We don't have time to wait.

We neutralize the threat.

Recover the product, but our primary objective is to bring Emory in alive Do

you have your head on straight?

Yeah

Yup!

Look at me.

Look at me!

Freeze, asshole!

Show me your hand.

You made the right choice back there, detective.

Choice was taken from me.

Look, we got him.

Let the rest play out.

Hello, Elliot.

Lovely to see you again.

Conspiracy to distribute controlled substances.

Possession with the intent to distribute.

Illegal.

Exportation of arms. Money laundering. Providing material support of terrorism.

Is that all?

The murder of Joseph Stable Jr.

Oh. I forgot about that bit.

Well, it's all there in black and white.

And, uh, I meant to sign on the bottom line here and confess to...

All of them.

What are my alternatives?

Guantanamo.

Living in a concrete coffin and being fed through your nose for the rest of

life.

I think I'd rather spend my remaining years sipping sherry on my estate in

Devonshire. That's not going to happen.

Imad al -Masawi.

Mustafa Karaki, Ibrahim Afif, Hezbollah's top leaders.

I can give them to you.

All of them.

In return, I want my assets unfrozen and have to rest on my estate in

Devonshire.

Can I have a word, please?

Who are you?

ASAC. Ed Guthrie. FBI.

You're done here.

Emory's my asset now.

Officially. Paperworks inbound.

Your asset?

You heard him in there.

If 10 % of what he's saying is legit, then he immediately becomes one of the

most valuable human assets we got. You're actually thinking of giving him

deal? I'm not thinking about it. We're doing it.

There are much bigger things at play here than just some collar.

You okay with this? You alright with this?

If Emery can help us crack down on narco -terrorism, we have to give him what he

wants. He killed my brother!

How much misery has he brought into this world? How many people has he killed?

And you want to let him walk?

Deal with it, detective.

That's the game.

Way to play out, huh?

That's what happens.

I just got off the phone with the FBI liaison. The deal with Emory has been

drawn up. DOJ reps on her way with paperwork.

I know this is a tough pill to swallow, but this is the right move.

Emery can give us more intel on terrorist activity in a single

we've collected in the past year.

And then we shake the devil's hand and hand him a cigar.

You've done a hell of a job bringing Emery in.

Now it's time to let the FBI do theirs.

Taylor, wait.

I think I got something.

Look, the USB your brother sent you, it was in pretty rough shape, but I was

able to carve out the individual files from the raw data and... What are we

looking at here?

Text, photos, documents, recorded conversations.

Going back six months.

Your brother was collecting evidence against Emory.

And from what I can tell, it's damning. Joe really was working against Emory the

whole time.

Call Guthrie.

Got him.

Back for more?

You are a glutton for punishment, Detective Stabler.

Reminds me of your brother.

Oh, yeah? How so?

Well, he hated himself so much that he chose to wallow in drugs and debauchery.

But he was weak.

He was...

Worthless wretch.

Anyway, I should be leaving soon.

I have a deal with your Department of Justice.

No, you don't.

Excuse me?

You don't have a deal.

It's over.

It turns out that my worthless wretch of a brother was actually working against

you for over the last six months.

We've hard...

verifiable evidence of every deal you made, including with the Syrians.

You're bluffing.

Am I?

Would make everything so much easier, wouldn't it?

Sign it.

Or don't.

It really doesn't matter anymore.

Because whatever my brother's problems were, he was a stabler.

And he just put your ass away for the rest of your life.

I learned recently my brother Joey wanted to be a cop.

I think the choices he made in life got in the way of that.

Today he was a cop.

And a good one.

I'm going to take that bereavement leave now.

Take all the time you need.

Hey, Mama.

So you finally decided to visit your old mama, huh? Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Hey.

Why don't you put on your Sunday best?

We're going to go to a thing.

What kind of thing? What do you mean?

It's a ceremony kind of thing.

For Joey.

Tell her.

For Joey?

What kind of ceremony?

Huh?

We've got to talk, Mama.

There's usually a lot more fanfare than this.

That's okay. It's better if it's just us. Uncle Joey would have liked that.

You know, for you to do this, Elliot, means a lot.

Sergeant Bell, she's the one who pulled the strings.

She has great moments. This is one of them.

You know, you boys used to ask me who was my favorite.

In my mind, it just always seemed to me that my favorite was the one who needed

me the most, you know.

And Joey's cry was the loudest.

But this plaque, I mean...

Everything it says, that's going to stay up here a while, right?

Yeah. Forever, Mama.

Look at all those lights.

God what a beautiful city.

It's a joy.
