.

- 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.

[indistinct chatter]

[tense music]

Hey.

[sighs] Sorry I'm late.

They're running behind.

[sighs]

You good?

- I honestly didn't
realize how much

this was gonna affect
me till I started

writing this last night.

Mm.

- How long were you
and Benson together?

12 years.

It was five for Darryl and I.

I got partnered with him

right after I got out
of the academy.

Losing him was just--

Yeah.

I'm sure you get it.

Yeah.

Can I run this by you?

Of course.

All right.

[exhales] Detective Jennings
was my mentor.

He was also a husband,
a father,

and a shining example of the
finest the NYPD has to offer.

[sentimental music]

Octavio Montanero
was a career criminal

who, in the decade
since his conviction,

has shown no remorse
for his actions, no apology

or acknowledgment
for the suffering

he put
an innocent family through.

And for that,
I strongly recommend

that this board keep
Octavio Montanero

exactly where he belongs.

- Mr. Montanero,
petition for early release

on the basis of good behavior.

Is that correct?

Mr. Montanero.

- I'm here to set
the record straight.

- Before we get
to your statement,

we will first hear
from Sergeant Bell.

- For 10 years I've been saying
I did a murder I didn't do.

Yes, I took a plea,
but I'm innocent.

And I'm willing
to prove that now.

- Mr. Montanero--

I didn't kill your partner.

I only said so 'cause
Eamon Murphy forced me to.

Baby, no.

- He promised that
if I went along with it

that he'd take care
of my family.

But he broke his word.

We've heard enough.

Look for the gun.

It'll prove everything.

Eamon Murphy
is the man you want.

You gotta believe me, please.

Please.

[tense music]

* *

Ayanna?

- Ayanna?
- That man.

Yeah?

Are you okay? What's going on?
Talk to me.

- From his arrest,
through his trial,

and all these years
incarcerated,

Montanero has only
said two words--

I'm guilty.

- Okay.
- Why now?

Why is he changing
his story now?

Well, why not now?

It's his parole hearing.
The guy was a junkie.

He's a criminal.
I mean, he confessed to it.

Yeah, I know, open and shut.

- His prints were on
the murder weapon.

I get that.

So then what?

What is it? What's going on?

- Ever since this began...
- Right.

- I have had this feeling,
and I--

I couldn't put voice to it.

But now I am following my gut,
and it is telling me the truth.

I gotta figure this out.

- You're looking to walk
down this road on a hunch?

- I'm not asking you to go
down it with me, Elliot.

* *

Lead the way, boss.

[tense music]

* *

All right, then.

Hey, Mike.

Ayanna.

Been a while, huh?

Least 10 years.

Something I can help you with?

Octavio Montanero.

What about him?

- Well, I went to
his parole hearing.

I was surprised
I didn't see you there.

[chuckles] Guy killed a cop.

Mother Teresa could show up
to vouch for him,

he isn't getting out.

- When you pulled the slug
out of Octavio's gun

and they ran it
through ballistics,

it came back inconclusive.

So it never matched the slug
that they took out of Darryl.

Was that in the report?

It's been so long
I'd have to check.

I already did.

You checked the report? When?

Before I got here.

What's this about right now?

- Why were you so sure that
that was the murder weapon?

- Octavio confessed,
took the plea.

- You never even
interviewed Eamon Murphy.

- You questioning
my investigation right now?

On a case I closed?

- I'm just trying
to tie up some loose ends.

- You got a problem with how
I ran things, Ayanna?

[tense music]

You should have
taken your own shot.

* *

[gunshot]

- Thanks for doing this
on such short notice.

- You'll let Jet know
I helped out?

Yeah, she sends her regards.

- Uh, so this is a side-by-side
comparison of the bullet taken

from the body
of Darryl Jennings

and the bullet that I just
fired from Octavio's gun.

The contour variations
of the lines

should be identical
if they were fired

from the same weapon.

And they're not.

- They're close, but not enough
to be a solid match.

- So there's a possibility
that this is not the slug

that killed my partner.

It's inconclusive.

- So it could have been
another weapon.

- Didn't he confess, though,
take a plea?

Do me a favor.

Don't tell anybody
about this, okay?

- I'm not even sure
what I'd say.

Even better. Thanks.

* *

What are you doing here?

Thank you.

Did you kill my partner?

No.

Then why did you say you did?

- I told you why
at the hearing.

Heh.

What, you believe in me now?

Oh, I don't believe anything.

I'm here because I wanna
look you in the eye

and hear what you have to say.

I didn't shoot your partner.

Eamon Murphy did.

Why are you so sure?

I was there.

I saw the whole thing.

Then why did you confess?

- Because I was a junkie
at the time.

A total degenerate.

But I had a kid,
a wife who loved me

but couldn't have me around
when I was using.

When Murphy said that
he'd send them money

if I took the rap, I just--

I thought it was my shot
at redemption.

But then the money
stopped coming.

The gun they found on you?

- It was mine,
but Eamon used his own.

It was this--
what do you call it?

A--a pen gun.

- He used a pen gun
to kill Darryl?

- He took this ring
off his finger.

Like, a police academy ring,
I think it was.

* *

- Bless me, Father,
for I have sinned.

You know who this is?

- You have the option
to remain anonymous.

But you know who this is.

Yes, Mr. Murphy.

- It's been a few years
since my last confession.

If I'm being honest, guilt is
not something I struggle with.

But recently, I thought
about killing a priest.

That's a very serious sin.

- So is stealing
from the offerings.

At least that's what
I heard from a cousin of mine

who attends mass here.

- I don't know why
he would have said that.

Are you lying to me?

Because bearing false witness,

that sin is worse
than stealing in my eyes.

And I don't take absolution.

There are hardworking families
in this neighborhood,

and they come here
and give what little they have

to keep this church open.

So if I hear anything
about this happening again,

we won't be meeting
in this silly little box.

Is that clear?

Yes.

Have a good day, Father.

* *

- All right.
I'll get back to you.

[sighs] That was our guy
on the parole board.

He texted earlier,
saying Octavio went

full crazy at his hearing.

Now he's saying
he mentioned you by name,

blamed you for the murder.

Who else was at the meeting?

- His wife and some cop
who was gonna read a statement.

What cop?

Signed in as Ayanna Bell.

What, you know her?

- With all the new product
coming in, last thing we need

is this kind of attention.

So what do you wanna do?

* *

- Hey, you didn't
return my texts.

- What is this?
- My notes.

Your notes?

- Darryl's murder
investigation,

and I have two more boxes
in my closet at home.

- You shadowed
the investigation.

I met with Octavio today.

He saw Eamon kill Darryl.

He even knew about
the police academy ring.

- You met with Octavio
earlier today?

I did.

All those failed
investigations,

thing of the past.

We got Octavio.

- We're gonna get Murphy.
- No, we're not.

- No, Octavio is gonna
give me a statement

that places Murphy
as the shooter.

Octavio is dead.

What?

- They couldn't
get ahold of you.

The warden called me.

Octavio was murdered tonight.

They found his body
outside the showers.

* *

.

Murphy's a nonstarter.

Gambling, drugs, homicide.

This is a clear-cut OCCB case.

- No, it's a cold case
involving your former partner.

Mike Graham called me.

We both see what
you're up to here.

I have a solid tip.

- From a dead guy
on a closed case that,

if it were to be reopened,
would make the DA

and the NYPD look like we
don't know what we're doing.

- And how does it look
if Murphy was the killer

and we let him walk free?

Look, Narcotics, DEA, FBI,

they all took shots at Murphy
and came up empty.

We're not throwing
more good money after bad.

- It's not about money.
It's about support.

- And I'd be lying
if I said you have mine.

- Oh, lying like you did about
your football career,

the one you need those
prescription pills for?

[tense music]

* *

- You need to be really, really
careful right now, Ayanna.

About what?

Going after the truth
or exposing you?

I will get Murphy,
and when I do,

you'll be the deputy inspector
who did what no one else could.

And then you'll thank me.

* *

- You are looking
at Eamon Murphy,

born in Sligo, Ireland,

came to New York
in the early '80s.

Found his way into the
Cement Workers Union,

where he got tired
of hard labor

and paying taxes,
so he began to run numbers

until he found the Westies,
in which he became an enforcer.

Since then, he has basically
shot, stabbed, and stolen

his way up to being a boss.

- He runs his
criminal operation

out of local bars now,

using them as drop-offs
for drugs, gambling,

and the occasional homicide.

- Smart, keeps him
one step removed.

He's upped his game,

running a more
sophisticated operation.

Think Westies 2.0.

But bigger the money,
bigger the body count.

- His number two is this man,
Seamus O'Meara.

He runs Murphy's crew
of about 40.

- So our job is
to get in with the crew.

Start at the bottom,
try and turn someone

on our way up the ladder.

- So we're all gonna try
to infiltrate at once?

- The DEA sent two
of their undercovers

into Murphy's operation
in 2016.

They got made,
almost cut to pieces.

The heat came down,
but no charges were ever filed,

so Murphy is extra cautious.

- So what are we picking
this up for if the Feds

already had their crack?

Won't they just sweep in
and take the credit

if we do get somewhere?

We'll worry about that later.

Right now,
Murphy is my problem to solve.

* *

- So what's our plan
if no one else has ever

had any luck getting inside?

- We're not gonna have
to get inside with him.

Murphy's gonna wanna
get inside with us.

So you wanna use my bar.

I thought the NYPD seized it
once my father started talking.

Isn't it yours already?

It is.

Well, we just feel that, um, in
order to make the cover work,

we'd appreciate
your cooperation.

- You know, I don't know
if you remember this,

but, uh, I'm not supposed
to leave the apartment.

Without supervision.

- Eamon Murphy
does a lot of business

in the bars in Queens.

Yours is right in the middle
of his turf.

We reopen, send out
the invitation to do business.

- He'll show up.
- What makes you so sure?

- Because you're gonna
make it so attractive

he won't be able to say no.

* *

- You know,
some of those guys used

to come in when we were open.

They left a pretty huge tab.

- The NYPD will take care
of all the expenses.

- What I meant was,
those guys are dangerous.

- Well, we'll make sure not
to tell them if you don't.

- How much time off is the DA
offering for my cooperation?

- Depends on how much we
tell them you're cooperating.

Welcome to Hyperium.

You guys take a look around.

We need to change that name.

- Nice spot.
- Nice?

This was thespot
when I ran it.

If you like $40 cocktails.

- How long will it take
to wire this place?

At least a week, maybe more.

- We already have cameras
in here.

We need those hidden.

We want the Murphy crew
to feel comfortable.

More comfortable they are,
the more they talk.

- What you actually need
are a couple obvious cameras

so your clientele
can feel like they see you,

and then you place
the hidden ones places

like there, there, there.

And, uh, follow me.

In here is where
we watch the show.

My father was obsessed
with recording everything,

as you already know.

We wired up
all our clubs like this.

What's this room here?

- That is why you came
to me in the first place.

- Damn, you really
had your hand in everything.

- We're gonna have to staff it
with it our guys--

stickmen, dealers,
anyone with experience.

- The official title
is croupier.

[scoffs]

[suspenseful music]

* *

- Why am I not
surprised right now?

- I paid for school
running a table at Foxwoods.

Tips are great,
especially if the client wins.

[chuckling]

I made sure they always won.

[phone buzzing]

- This is my contact.
We're all set.

- Where are we
with making contact?

- My CI's got direct access
inside Murphy's crew.

We're good.

- Take Jamie.
- Come on.

I just thought of a name.

The Bluff.

It's better than Hyperium.

Oh, yeah.

* *

[speaking Spanish]

Which one's hers?

All of them.

[speaking Spanish]

This is my partner Jamie.

How are you?

Jibaro, take him to Carmen.

I need your help.

There's a crew out in Queens,
the New Westies.

[sighs]

Does my niece,
your beautiful wife,

know you're here?

* *

Ah, you remember mi Paco.

I remember you and him
were the--

the only ones that ran numbers
outside the neighborhood.

The Irish.

The police.

- You're gonna need
something in return?

- Why would I need
something in return?

* *

- Bro, this rice--

Gracias.

- Bobby, tell your kids
Auntie Isabel

looks forward to meeting them.

* *

Mrs. Montanero, welcome home.

What are you doing here?

- Thought we could
have a little chat

about your husband, Octavio.

Oh, if you're thinking
of running, he likes movement.

[growling]

[barking]

Sit. Take a load off.

[tense music]

[barking]

I said sit!

[growling]

Oh, this is Jack, by the way.

He's my associate.

And he's very loyal.

I like that about him,
shows character.

Now, Octavio, your beloved,
he made a promise to be loyal,

a promise he didn't keep.

You stopped paying.

- But that's the thing
about loyalty,

it's supposed to be
unconditional.

For example, say I wanted
Jack here to attack.

All I have to do
is say the word and bam!

- [barking]
- [gasps]

See?

He'll do it.

Now, what kind of
relationship would we have

if I say the word
and he decides

he doesn't feel like it?

See that?

That's your husband--

wasyour husband.

If anyone comes around
asking about me now,

what are you gonna say?

I'm not gonna say anything.

- I'd feel better
if you looked me in the eye.

* *

Octavio never mentioned
how pretty you were.

Wonder why.

[door opens, closes]

- I just had
a very interesting call

from La Doña while I was--

oh, hey, Mia.

What's she want?

- Remember that spot
Teddy Silas had?

- He's opening it back up.
- [chuckles]

Those rich guys get away
with anything, right?

- Well, she invited us down
to check it out,

said it's on behalf
of the new management.

- So go have a look-see.

Collect tribute.

Welcome them
to the neighborhood.

Least we could do.

* *

Thanks for the sandwich,
by the way.

.

[phone rings]

Hello?

Food delivery.

Mm, I didn't order anything.

- Ah, looks like someone
ordered it for you.

Hold on a second.

- Elliot Stabler?
- Yeah.

I'm Rika Harold.

I'm with the DA
Investigator's Office.

And you deliver coffee?

Are you alone?

Yeah, come on in.

- Look, I'm sorry
to drop in like this.

I just wanted to make sure
that our conversation

would be in private.

It's in private.

Have a seat.

You work for the DA's Office?

Yeah.

I'm an investigator
specializing in white collar

- and organized crime.
- Uh-huh.

- I had a lot of crossover
with your unit in the past,

and now with Eamon Murphy.

We're also looking
into Octavio Montanero's death.

- Who says
we're looking at Murphy?

- Well, your deputy inspector
looped us in.

- Well, I--I don't discuss
ongoing investigations, so.

- Well, maybe I can
tell you what I know.

Okay.

- Ever since I started
working with the DA,

Eamon Murphy's been
at the top of our list.

But any time
anybody gets close,

he manages to skate away.

Now, Murphy's a smart guy,
but after 30 years

of breaking the law, I mean,

no one gets that lucky
all the time.

- So you think
he's got protection.

Yeah.

- From?
- Oh, NYPD. Feds.

City Hall. Maybe all three.

- How long you been
in the Investigator's Office?

- Two years.
- Uh-huh. And before that?

- Louisiana.
Homicide detective.

Homicide, huh?

Got tired of that grind.

Needed a change.

- So you thought you'd
come up here

and complicate my life
and my job?

- I know what you did
with the Brotherhood.

And Captain Benson
speaks very highly of you,

so I knew you were someone
I could trust.

Hmm.

You know Captain Benson?

- Uh-huh.

Okay.

Well, I'm gonna have to
tell my sergeant about this.

- Whatever makes you
comfortable.

I was hoping we could
all keep this between us

for the time being.

- Okay.
- Uh.

[suspenseful music]

Oh, and be careful of the dog.

* *

- [knock at door]
- Ayanna?

Marjorie, come in.

Oh, that famous banana bread.

Thank you.

- I know, uh, going to
those hearings is hard.

And I so appreciate you always
advocating for me and Darryl.

Have a seat.

[sighs]

- Marjorie, something happened
the other day at the hearing.

I don't wanna bring it up
over the phone, so,

you know, thank you
for coming down.

[sighs] New evidence
has been brought to light

that puts Octavio's
confession in doubt.

What do you mean in doubt?

- Another man might be
responsible for Darryl's death.

I'm just now getting into it.

But from what I've seen
so far, it's very compelling.

- So I just wanted you to know--
- Stop.

Look, I know this is a shock.

- Maybe you never made
your peace with it, but I have.

So don't drag me
into your mess now.

I have to do this.

We have to, for Darryl.

- Don't you dare say
this is about Darryl.

This is about you,
and we both know it.

[somber music]

It's not my fault you
haven't been able to satisfy

your own guilt.

- I told you
that's not what it was.

Darryl was my husband.

The man who killed him
confessed and went to prison.

You already took
enough from me.

You're not gonna take that.

* *

Come on, Teddy, let's go.

Supposed to be there
ten minutes ago.

All right, don't rush me.

Gotta make sure I'm prepared.

You guys got me walking
into the lion's den.

Drop the gun!

- Whoa, whoa, whoa.
What the hell?

- Teddy, now.
- This is licensed.

- Don't care.
Drop the gun and step away.

[tense music]

* *

- You guys got me
risking my life for you,

and you want me to do it
without protection?

- It's a bar full of cops,
you moron.

- It's not gonna matter
to a guy like Murphy.

I'm sorry, do you guys have no
idea who you are dealing with?

Do you?

'Cause I'm about to shoot you

if you don't step away
from that gun.

* *

It's my personal property.

- Cash, jewelry,
and a passport?

This is a go-bag.

- Were you gonna try
to run on us?

- I lost my wife,
my father, my reputation.

That bag contains everything
I own in this world,

and I will be damned if I'm
gonna let it out of my sight.

- We'll keep it
in the back of the bar.

It'll be safe there.

- Let me explain
something to you,

simply, so you understand.

If Murphy is there,
nothing in that bar is safe,

especially you two.

Hey, at least I'll be there
to make sure it's a hell

of an opening night, right?

* *

.

[indistinct chatter]

[pounding dance music playing]

- So good to see you guys.
How's everyone doing?

Got some room at the bar
if you'd like.

Right this way.

So if you guys need anything
while you're here,

just ask for me.
I'm Ricky.

Jimmy, take care
of my people here.

I wanna make sure
they have a great time.

You got it.

Let's see what we got here.

I'm seeing gin martini,
old-fashioned,

and I'm thinking
margarita vibes?

- That's right.
[clapping]

- Looks like our guests
of honor have arrived.

How you doing?

- Mr. O'Meara,
so happy you came.

- Ricky, right?
- That's right.

- It's a nice spot
you got here.

- Well, I want you
to feel at home,

so if there's
anything you need,

I'm the guy you wanna see.

Anything at all, okay?

I need a drink first.

And how about some of that
action I was promised?

- Well, I know
the perfect person

who could help you out there.

Teddy, I'd like you
to meet Seamus.

- Holy--
- Meet?

Oh, I'm practically family.

[laughter]

Hey, what are you doing out?

Thought you were
supposed to be in jail.

- Yeah, my lawyer cut me
a deal till the trial.

Oh, you're one lucky SOB.

- Well, the only one
luckier than me tonight's

gonna be you, I promise.

Ready to make some money?

All right.

- They're headed
your way, boss.

* *

- Hey, why don't you go
get a drink at the bar?

- This the player
you were telling me about?

- Indeed it is--Seamus O'Meara,
my pit boss, Giovanni.

- Hey, welcome to the club.
Glad to have you.

This is a little something
to get you started.

- All right.
- What's your pleasure?

- Think I'd like
to start with her.

Ah, great choice.

Juliet, hey, this is Seamus,
good friend of mine.

Make sure he has a good time.
All right, have a good night.

All right.

Pleasure to meet you, Seamus.

It's all mine, believe me.

- With those eyes, I feel like
I'll believe anything you say.

[laughs]

Well, I say
let's both get lucky.

Yes, sir.

Whoo!

To luck.

Hey, how about
a little champagne

for me and my
good luck charm over here?

- You got it.
Coming right away.

Keep an eye on them.

Hey, need a bottle of bubbles
at the blackjack table ASAP.

- Oh, they started talking
as soon as you walked away.

- Of course they did.
- Talking about tomorrow.

No.

He wants us to make
the deal tonight.

Tonight?

- I have the stuff
in the trunk right now.

Look, we finish here,
and then we go

meet him in the parking lot.

Wanna tail him?

- Well, Murphy's trying
to move some A1 weight,

so if we can catch
him in the act,

that could be a win for us.

Done.

- I just don't know what
looks sexier right now,

these chips or you.

- Well, if you
really have to ask...

Yeah, you're right.

Get these things away from me.

I know what I really want.

[tense music]

- Well, hopefully,
I can give it to you.

- Oh, come on.
Don't do me like that, babe.

* *

That's my girl!

Yeah! Whoo!

[laughs]

What time you get
off work tonight?

Where are we going
to celebrate?

Are you not allowed
to drink here or what?

Hmm.

That's quite the haul.

- Yeah, thanks to
my good luck charm.

There she is now.

Hey, babe,
got something for you.

You deserve every penny.

- I deserve a lot more
than this.

But you are going to spend it
on me like a gentleman.

Dinner, maybe some jewelry.

You'll figure it out.

- I'll buy you a house
if it means I get to come home

to that smile every night.

- Hey, Juliet,
table five needs you.

- Coming.
You know where to find me.

Pit boss needs a nightcap.

Coming right up.

- Oh, look at you.
Congratulations.

It looks like
you had a fun night.

- It's a great room
you're running here.

- Oh, good.
I'll make sure Ricky knows.

Yeah, you do that.

I'll be seeing you again.

- Hope so.
All right, take care.

* *

- Everything good?
- Mm-hmm.

Let O'Meara go.

You two follow the other guys.

.

[tense music]

* *

- What's this
D-bag waiting for?

Yo! Let's do this.

Freezing.

Where is it? Show me.

All right, all right.

You've seen it.
Now where's our end?

It's all there.

Hey, be careful with the car.

Last time you had
a few dings in it.

* *

[speaking Spanish]

Hey! Hey, hey, hey!

Show me your hands.
On the car now.

Car! Now.

- Pop the trunk. I got him.
- Good?

* *

Oh, damn.

Papa, this is a lot of keys.

I hope this is your first time.

- Yeah, it's 10 years
instead of 30, right?

Yeah, I think you're right.

You all right?

- I should have pursued Murphy
as a suspect.

- You weren't in charge
of the investigation.

- Yeah, but I knew
he and his operation

were moving
into the neighborhood.

I just--I missed it.

- Or you did the best you could
with the information you had.

That's all we can do.

That poor boy

spent all that time
behind bars.

While that son of a bitch
who killed my partner, he--

- You know,
when we're traumatized,

we don't always think
as clearly as we'd like.

But we're here now.

I got you.

We're gonna see this through,

and we're gonna
close this case.

Isn't it past your bedtimes?

Hey, we're hip.

Nobody hip says hip.

I can dig it.

My God.

- You did great work tonight,
Jet.

Thank you.

I didn't hate it,
but I'm heading home.

You kids have fun.

Seamus?

- Where do you wanna go
to dinner?

Now?

Oh, in general.

Like Italian, French,
New American fare?

What?

See, look, I was about
to get in my car and go,

and I just couldn't
stop thinking about you,

how much I like being near you.

And, um...

[soft heartfelt music]

Uh, it's not the most
manly thing, but I just--

I wanna take you somewhere
I know you're gonna like.

And I thought you could tell me
so I don't screw it up.

French.

French.

You know, I knew it.

Oh, you did.

I was thinking, yeah.

[laughs]

You guys should get a room.

Eamon.

You gonna introduce me?

[tense music]

This is Juliet.

Juliet, Eamon.

Lovely to meet you.

I came to see
how your evening went.

It went great.

The place is very friendly.

- You play cards, Eamon?
- Mm-hmm.

- You should come by
some night.

I'll take care of you.

I'd like it if you did that.

- I guess we'll all
be in touch then.

Yeah, sounds good.

* *

So you had a good time?

[barking]

Come on. Come on.

[phone rings]

- Stabler.
- How was opening night?

Good. It was good.

Care to be more specific?

It was real good.

- [chuckles]
Well, that clears things up.

You're the one who called me.

You got anything to share
on your side?

- As a matter of fact,
Octavio Montanero's death

is being ruled a suicide.

* *

You still there?

Yeah.

- My office will not
be investigating,

and the case is closed.

The man was stabbed.

- Well, officially,
he tripped and was impaled

on an exposed piece
of broken pipe.

- So that's how far
this rabbit hole goes, huh?

- Just, uh, be careful,
Detective.

And, uh, make sure
to keep me in the loop.

- Good night.
- Good night.
