In the criminal
justice system,

sexually based offenses

are considered
especially heinous.

In New York City,
the dedicated detectives

who investigate
these vicious felonies

are members
of an elite squad

known as
the Special Victims Unit.

These are their stories.

We sit here and we talk,
we post, stream.

We go to rallies,
bust a few heads.

But who are we kidding?

We are losing.

Every day, it's more of them
and less of us.

Over and over,
we sound the alarm

and it gets drowned out.

And we know why.

It's because
they control the media.

The agenda, banks, politicians.

We are in a war

for our very survival.

We will not give
this nation up to you.

We will not let you destroy
what we have built,

what we own.

Our country was founded
under the principle

of one nation under God.

Raghead!

A Christian God.

It's time to make that
the law of the land.

And if you won't assimilate...

Then you better get
the hell out.

Brothers, code red.
It's on.

We're going in.
The first wave has begun.

And each one of you has
to make up your own mind.

But I've already
made up mine.

We're going in, brothers.

Keep your eyes
on Jew York City.

'Cause it's about
to get very real.

That was beautiful,

A multi-borough wave
of hate crime attacks

on citizens, a synagogue,
a halal restaurant,

and Jewish-owned businesses
has the city on edge

this Christmas Eve.

We start our coverage...

What the hell is wrong
with people?

Don't get me started.

Sorry to drag you in
on Christmas Eve.

We kept it quiet, but the head
of Hate Crimes is out,

and the new captain
just got here.

He wasn't even supposed
to start until January.

So Chief McGrath
has asked SVU to augment.

Yeah,
so it's all hands on deck

so let's move, huh?

We're up
to nine separate incidents

across three boroughs.

I don't know
if we're looking at

a surge or a spree or both.

And the cavalry is here.

Captain Benson,
Captain Murphy.

Declan.

Wow, I didn't know
you were back.

I've barely unpacked.

Nice to see you.
Welcome home.

Oh, good,
you all know each other.

- Yeah.
- Mostly.

Filling in the blanks,
Khaldun.

We've worked together.

Great, who's next?
Detective Parlota-Goldstein.

Those are both me.

And Ruz.
We've met.

In the Bronx.

And I'm so glad
that you're out of there

and that you landed here.

So... Chief.

We're looking at
a full-scale mobilization?

Yeah, double shifts,
no days off.

We don't stop
until we close this thing out.

All these people attacked
on Christmas Eve

because of who they are,
what they look like,

who they worship.
We can't have that.

Not in New York City.

♪

♪

Thanks, Commissioner.
Tell the embassies we're on it.

- Embassies?
- Brace yourself.

We're gonna be riding this wave
until it breaks.

Captain Benson,
why is Special Victims here?

SVU will be working
with the Hate Crimes taskforce.

New York has 9 million people

and over 2,000
different identities.

And as Captain Murphy says,

we cannot have this
in our city.

We will push
the investigative envelope

until those responsible
are in handcuffs.

Thank you.

Detective, where are we?

No place good.

Gang of kids, male, Black,
causing trouble.

Okay,
so there are witnesses.

A small minyan
was arriving for prayers

when two cobblestones
crashed through.

Minor injuries, cuts.

One widower was matzah-boxed
to Mercy, chest pains.

Excuse me, detective?

Sorry, private EMS.

Synagogue have
a security system?

No.
Bakery across the street does.

But they're closed for Shabbos.

- Not for this, they're not.
- Yeah.

We'll walk the rabbi
to the baker's apartment.

It's the Sabbath, the Orthodox
don't use their phones.

I'm aware.

Look,
if you can't find the baker,

have TARU and ESU break in.
Find that video.

Out of nowhere,
this guy comes from behind

on a motorcycle,

stabs me in the back,

pulls off my turban.

Did you get a look at him?
Was he Black or white?

I saw the back of his helmet.

And--and the plate. Ohio.

You sure?

It's my job.
I drive all day.

I'm sure.

Any chance this is personal?

You owe money,
romantic problems?

I'm a family man.

I work 70 hours a week.

I go home to eat, sleep,
meditate,

try to do my good deeds.

I did nothing to provoke this.

We know.
We just have to ask.

You ever had any problems
with your customers?

These bridge-and-tunnel kids
say stupid things.

Call me Aladdin,
tell me to make my car fly.

This was different.
- How so?

Just before he stabbed me,

he called me a raghead.

"Osama,

go back to the desert,
you sand..."

the N-word.

Thank you, Mr. Singh.

So you ever seen this before,

Sikhs getting mistaken
for Arabs and Muslims?

These kinds of criminals
are no geniuses.

Doesn't make them
any less dangerous.

Tell your mother
we're doing everything we can

to find those responsible.
- Yes, thank you very much.

Holocaust survivor.

Daughter said she made it
through Auschwitz

but might not survive this.

Security cameras
in their building?

Nope, vandal got lucky
or knows his turf.

Shabbos and Christmas Eve?
Smart night for a spree.

Hey, listen, I was hoping
we'd get a chance to talk

before we got thrown
into this whole thing.

Me too.
But it can wait.

'Scuse me, officers.

- Help you?
- Do you have any leads?

Everyone saying
it's a gang thing.

Some Black kids.

You live in the neighborhood?

Yeah, a few blocks away.

I was out walking Danika
last night.

It was quiet.
- Beautiful dog.

You see any kids out?

Yep,
the ones from the projects.

They're always roaming through.

They're looking for packages
left on doorsteps.

- Was this graffiti here then?
- No, I woulda noticed.

What--what time were you
out walking Danika?

- 10:00--hey, she likes you.
- Hmm.

You have a dog?

I have a very full house.

So you're out with her
most nights then?

Yeah, unless it rains.
She's a Ridgeback.

Doesn't like the rain.
Mine either.

Listen, if you--
you see anything,

give me a call.

You got it.
All right, come on, sweetie.

Did you see who did this?

A white van driving away?

One person or more than one?

White or Black?

We were trying to put
the fire out.

Owner didn't see much.
A white van.

Arson said it was
a Molotov cocktail.

Easy to make.

The kids at the synagogue
could have done it.

But they hit Williamsburg.

Manhattan, this is
a different planet.

One stop on the M train.

And a vic got pushed
onto the street

right near
the Marcy Avenue station.

We were walking home
from dinner with my mother.

Two kids came up,
knocked Aaron's hat off.

- The shtreimel?
- Yes, it was Shabbos.

Did they say anything?
Any slurs?

One called me "Jew."

Deborah yelled for help.
They went for her.

Aaron stopped them.

They pushed him
into the street,

beat him, kicked him.

Can you describe the boys?

Black.
Teens.

The one who pushed Aaron,
he was wearing a yellow hoodie.

Do you think
that you could ID them?

For the rest of my life.

Captain.

They have something.

Excuse us.

♪

A yellow hoodie just like
the street attack, huh?

All right,
get this out everywhere.

Hold on, Chief.
These kids, they're minors.

Yeah.

We can't put their photo out
in the media

even if we arrest them.

Well, they aren't even going
to be arrested

if we don't get
their faces out there.

Faces?
All people will see is

a gang of project thugs
wilding.

So we can't go
after hate crimes against Jews

if Black kids commit them.
Is that what you're saying?

We put this out,
it becomes a meme.

So before we stoke the flames
on Christmas Day,

let us at least canvass.

The projects are two blocks
from the synagogue.

Somebody knows these kids.

It's Christmas.
Everything's closed.

Not churches, bodegas.

Give us four hours.

You got two.

Thank you.

♪

You didn't see anyone
who looked like them?

It was busy last night.

You see any vehicles
or motorcycles

circling the block?

All right, thanks.

Hey, you recognize
any of these guys?

Everybody's talking about it.
So horrible.

You were here?
You seen these three?

Yeah, I wish I could help.
But no.

I'm sorry you have to work
on Christmas.

- Um--
- Have a wreath?

Oh, no, we really shouldn't.

We'll give it to a shelter.

Thanks.

Oh.

I really should only take half.

That's Dalen,
one of my altar boys.

This is heartbreaking.

Well, he dropped his rock.
He didn't throw it.

The older boy is
the ringleader.

I don't recognize
the other boys.

Do you know
where we could find Dalen?

I don't know
those other guys.

We were playing ball.

Lost the court,
so we were just hanging out.

Whose idea was it
to throw rocks?

Not mine.

Once they did that,
I ran home right away.

His curfew was 9:30 Friday.

He was home on time.

But the other two boys
kept going.

They did some bad things,
Dalen.

Dalen,
you're at a crossroads.

Do you understand that?

I swear,
I don't know their names.

How about their schools?

So the younger one,
Dalen, confessed.

Yeah, and he led us to
the other two.

Jahrique Galloway, juvie record
for vandalism, assault.

Those people
in the funny hats?

They think they're better
than us.

I get that.

And he disrespected you.
That's why you pushed him?

Just something to do.

Like throwing a rock
through a synagogue window?

We need to call your parents.

Like they gonna come here.

I'ma hold my breath for that.

Okay,
so you were at the synagogue

and you knocked the dad down.

What about the Judaica store?

The what now?
If you say so.

Yeah, okay.

This is Julius Lee, 15,
no record.

What were you thinking,
Julius?

I got no feelings on Jews.

I just wanted to see if

my rock went further
than Jahrique's.

And the guy you pushed
into traffic?

That--that's Jahrique,
not me.

I'm sorry that happened.

That's good, Julius.

Remorse is good.

We know these two are
the ones who pushed Aaron Getz

into the street?

The couple IDed them
and Jahrique didn't deny it.

That sounds
like a full house.

Congratulations.

Can we put this thing to bed?

There's still no suspect
for the stabbing of the Sikh.

Mr. Singh couldn't ID
either kid.

The only thing he saw was

the back of his assailant's
motorcycle helmet.

So it could be either
of these kids.

Doubtful.
They don't drive--no licenses.

Yeah, and neither kid has
access to a motorcycle,

let alone a white van.

So it makes them unlikely

for the halal restaurant
firebombing.

Yeah, either way,
they're still good

for the synagogue vandalism
and the street assault.

All right,
I'm gonna call City Hall.

They're gonna want you two
to join them

in a news conference ASAP.

Well, hold on.

Can you hold them off?

See, you're assuming
they're human.

They're not,
they're politicians.

And they like
their victory laps.

Right, I understand that.
But we're not there yet.

We don't have anything
to tie these kids

to the other attacks.

With all the hits,
we don't have video?

That's just it.

These kids, every dumbass thing
they did was filmed,

even stopping to take a leak.

But the arson, the graffiti,

they seemed cherry-picked
to avoid cameras.

So maybe they got lucky.

Chief, Marron,
we all wanna go home.

But it's not them.

The--the spray paint
on the store

and the surrounding buildings,
the--the anti-Semitic tropes.

"Jews will not replace us."
It's--it's political.

The rock-throwing and pushing
was atavistic, tribal.

But the firebombing, graffiti,

that comes from
a different place.

A mission, ideological.

O-okay, Murphy.
What?

Christmas Eve attacks
on Jews, Muslims.

Those weren't crimes
of opportunity.

They're making a statement.

Okay, so we're missing a few
pieces of the jigsaw puzzle.

Either way,
this city is on boil.

So make some arrests
and calm this down.

Chief,
we can definitely do that.

But I don't think that
we're missing a few pieces.

I think what we're looking at
is two different puzzles.

And we don't have
any pieces of the second one.

Okay, well, whoever it was,
they just struck again.

It's all over Twitter.

Wait, I don't have that yet.
What is it?

A mosque in Williamsburg
just got bombed.

Will you pull it up?

♪

Arson says it was
a pressure-cooker bomb

left in a backpack.

A second device was found
two blocks up

at the Jewish old-age home
but didn't go off.

Thank God.

And the other good news is
that this bomb

went off after the last prayer.

There was only a few people
in the mosque.

There were two victims with
burns and smoke inhalation.

The bad news is, whoever did
this now has a real taste

for the power of hate.

Benson.

Hey, so we need to canvass
the crowd, okay?

We're looking for a white van.

And possibly a motorcycle,
Ohio plates.

That was just an hour ago?

We're gonna need a copy
of that video.

The imam says the camera
broke a few weeks ago.

They never got it fixed.

Bombs, mosques,
they're escalating.

Guys.

Okay.

That was the FBI.

They said there
are no credible threats

in New York City this weekend.

So they're following
whoever cheered it on,

but whoever this is,
not on their radar.

That's a shock.

So we go back out.
Shoe leather.

Every borough that was hit.

Captain,
I'll go as long as I can,

but we've been going

Bomb squad pulled six IEDs
out of the apartment,

all the digital timing devices,

along with an empty
12-pack of timers.

So counting the bomb
that went off at the mosque,

and the undetonated device
at the Jewish old age home...

That leaves four bombs
unaccounted for.

Even if Darko has
accomplices,

they've already gone
to ground.

With four bombs.
They're still a threat.

Or worse,
they've already been planted.

I mean,
how long were those timers?

24 hours, max.

We're aware.
We have counterterrorism

You do realize there are
hundreds of mosques

Not to mention soft targets

senior living facilities,
schools?

I gotta level with you.

I mean...

You're in a tough situation
here with these bombs.

They--I never wanted
that stuff in my apartment.

We believe you,
but if any one

of those four bombs goes off,
you're looking at

multiple accounts of murder,
hate crimes, federal charges,

death penalty.
- I never hurt anybody.

'Course you didn't.

You just broke some glass
in a bookstore,

painted some graffiti.

Meanwhile, your friends were
bombing mosques, old age homes.

They're not my friends.

Well,
we didn't think they were.

They're not like you,
and they're probably

not even from here.
- No, they're not.

All right, so you do know
something about them.

Let's start with an easy one.

The guy that shot you
on the motorcycle.

You know why he shot me.

Because he saw me talking
to you and Detective Rollins.

Okay.

I'm sorry.
That is on us then.

We also know
that he stabbed that Sikh,

something that you would never do.

He--he called me a traitor.

So why are you
protecting him?

Do you wanna know what I think?

I think that these guys are
taking advantage of you.

They're not from around here.

You are.
You know the area.

They come up here,
and then they start

pressuring you to do things
that you don't want to do.

That--that is exactly right.

Darko, we want to help you.

But you gotta tell us
what you know now.

Otherwise the feds take you.

I told you,
I-I don't know these guys.

You're a smart guy.
Eyes open.

You must have noticed
something about them.

I don't know
his government name.

We use codes.

His is AJ.
- Okay, that's something.

Yeah.
Who else?

Oh, here we go.

So who else, Darko?

What about that manifesto
on your computer?

Ah, I was
supposed to erase that.

I-I just know his code name.

It's North Star.

The FBI has your computer.

Get ahead of this thing.
Tell us what you know.

Look, all I can tell you is
that they're his bombs.

Okay? He drove
to my apartment building

in the middle
of the night.

And he and AJ loaded that stuff
in my closet.

So how did you communicate
with them?

How many others are there?

I don't know the whole plan,
just my part.

Darko,
we have your burner cell.

We're gonna find out
where it was bought,

who you called, when.

That wasn't my idea.

Look,
I'm not good at this stuff.

They made me turn off my phone,
then they gave me the burner.

Where?

♪

This phone was bought here?

You sure?
- Yeah, we're sure.

Night before Christmas Eve
around 8:00 pm.

7:45.
You got it.

I remember now.

He paid cash.
Hundreds.

Okay, we're gonna need
to see your security footage.

Okay, but he wore
a motorcycle helmet.

Anybody with him?

Not that I saw.

But he did buy five phones
with prepaid service plans.

So Darko confirmed
that the man in the hat

and the gaiter is indeed
the leader

and recruited the others
on the dark web.

There's still no way
to track him.

Gaiter's video was
triple encrypted.

The motorcycle guy is AJ?

The Sikh driver said
that he had an Ohio plate.

You checked footage
for license plate?

Yep, and a gas station
across the street too.

If he was on the bike,
he was smart enough

to park it away
from the security cameras.

Nothing on a white van either.

Not to mention
five cell phones,

and it could still be
two more out there.

No luck on the burner cells?

No, aside from Darko's
number, the other four

were shut off,
likely faraday-bagged

within a half hour of us going
into Darko's apartment.

So they're holed up somewhere
watching the news?

Waiting for New Year's Eve
to detonate the other bombs?

- Tell me you got something.
- A start.

TARU did a cell tower dump.

We have the moment
the five cell phones were

turned on and enabled.

Going back five minutes,

Darko's cell phone was
turned off.

And one other phone
with an Ohio area code.

That number is listed to

an Antonio Juarez
from Defiance, Ohio.

AJ.

Someone in Defiance knows
where he is.

Let's find him.

I don't understand.
Antonio's in Buffalo

visiting his mother.

Yeah, when was the last time
you spoke to him, Ms. Alves?

He calls every night
at 9:00.

Great, so you got
a number for him.

His cell phone broke.

He's using a friend's phone.
Why?

Well, we're trying
to track him down.

There was a chase
on the street here.

One of our squad cars
might have

side-swiped his motorcycle.

In New York City?

Yes, is there a chance
he came down for the holiday?

Does he have family here?

His ex lives in Brooklyn.

Son of a bitch.

He ditches me and our kid
for Christmas

to spend it with her?

Marina, do you have
an address for his ex?

- What the hell is going on?
- Where's the bomb, Antonio?

- You've made a mistake.
- Where are the bombs?

What are they talking about?

It's over, man.
Don't be stupid.

We know you stabbed a Sikh
and shot Darko.

All right, it's over.
- They're cops, AJ.

Just answer them.

Bomb goes off,
it's the death penalty.

The needle, AJ.

You hear that?

In a backpack
under the Christmas tree.

Suspect says bombs are
in a backpack

under the tree.

- How'd you find me?
- Your wife.

- I swear I didn't call.
- No, not you.

The one in Ohio.
- What?

You told me that was over.

You got bigger problems,
Antonio.

Tell us where
the other bombs are.

♪

Nobody has the whole plan.

North Star does.
How do you reach him?

I don't.

We each have one contact.

Who's yours?

I'm here.

Of course, I'm alone.

You sure?

Double-check your surroundings,
confirm.

What the hell is this?

This wasn't the plan.

Direct orders
from North Star.

I didn't hear from him.

He's gone deep to ground.

Darko may have been a UC.

You kidding me?

Cops are onto us?

Tom Nolan,
you need to come with us.

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

- You playing me?
- Sorry, man.

I had no choice.

Don't make a scene,
Mr. Nolan.

We're giving you
a chance to cooperate.

Yeah.

I'm just a businessman
from Arizona,

here with my wife on a holiday.
- Susan.

We know everything about you,
Tom.

So help yourself.

And stop lying.
- I'm not.

Okay.

Why did you take a call
from Antonio Juarez

from a burner cell?

I don't know any Antonio.

Thought he was my Uber driver.

Where were you going?

- We had tickets for a show.
- Nope, no, you didn't.

Broadway's dark Monday night,
Tom--try again.

I don't know.
My wife made the plan.

And where is she?

We know you called her
on her burner cell.

Is she not picking up?

Honestly,
I don't know where she is.

Shopping, hair salon, the spa.

Giving each other some space.

- Keeping the marriage fresh?
- Yeah.

Like this?

The first wave has begun.

The police, the FBI,
they're scattered like rats.

They don't know
where to look next.

And then when
we'll strike again.

A mass casualty event.

You know this guy?

May have come
across his videos.

Did you notice
who was filming?

Nice robe.

But you already knew that,
right, Tom?

Anything for the cause?

I don't know
what you're talking about.

You don't.

I'm just in town
for a holiday trip.

To see a show.

I got nothing to do
with any of this.

Well,
if you're making a case

that your wife set you up,

I suggest that you tell us
where she is.

- I don't know.
- You don't know?

Where is she, Tom?

I don't--

Where is she?

I-I don't know.
But--but...

we weren't supposed to use
our credit cards, so

Susan took her sister's Amex.

Oh, yes, Mrs. Martell.

She and her husband have been
here for three days.

They in the room?

They just left.

Where were they going?

Uh, I got them
dinner reservations

in the Village.
I offered to arrange a car.

They said they wanted a walk,

look at the tree
in Washington Square Park.

Were they carrying anything,
like a bag?

Actually, Mrs. Martell, yes.
She had a leather backpack.

We just missed them.

They went
to Washington Square Park.

The Islamic Center
at NYU is there.

A Jewish student center.

And the Village temple is
five blocks away.

I'll call JTTF.

Concierge said they wanted
to see the Christmas tree.

- False flag?
- Maybe.

Create havoc, turn everyone
in the city against each other.

It's a plan.
We need to go now.

Yeah.

♪

♪

That's them.

I'll go--
- It's okay, I got this.

Susan, is that you?

- Excuse me?
- It's Olivia.

I didn't even know
you were in New York.

Is Tom with you?
- I'm sorry, do I know you?

NYPD, put your hands
where we can see them.

We have your husband
in custody.

What's this?

Keep your hands
in front of you!

They're gonna kill us,
Robert.

It's over.
- Like hell it is.

- NYPD--don't move.
- Don't do it.

You're done!

I don't take orders
from a race traitor.

I got a bomb.

♪

Thank you.

You just gave the movement
the martyr we need.

Rollins, get that woman
the hell out of here.

Let's get her out.

You all right?

I was, and now I'm shaking.

I wish I could say
we all get to go home.

But I fired my weapon,

of paperwork ahead of us.

Merry Christmas.

You too.
