Reza Varna, our primary target.
Bulgarian national, here legally since 1991.
And he is behind the brothel that Liesl and Turse took down.
OCID also confirmed that the shoot out at copy shop
that Liesl and Turse engaged in was Varna"s command center.
The place was stripped to the bone,
but there was just enough there
to confirm its connection to Varna.
Now More and Santiago performed a real coup
pinching Reynolds Taylor aka "Renny",
who Varna is still hot for.
Renny was one of his main dealers on the speak circuit.
The play here, is to get Varna.
More has a theory that Varna"s tracking Renny's phone.
So we"re gonna keep this quiet.
We"re going to take this to a former
precinct in Staten Island.
Since torn down, but we still lease the lot.
Once they"re in position,
we"ll turn on Renny's phone and wait.
According to More, once the phone"s on,
Varna will come for Renny.
Let"s get started.
Captain.
Tell me how that crazy motherfucker sold you on this.
I"m sold. That is all.
That kid is our first break.
I don"t like it anymore than you do.
Then don"t do it. Not for a scumbag like Varna.
This isn"t just about Varna,
this is about the guy behind Varna.
That doesn"t justify what...
We"re not the only ones on this, in case you"ve forgotten.
While we get Varna,
Reale"s men are going through bank transfers,
that SAC of shit Totentantz, he scrambled a priority watch
on all bridges, tunnels,
airports, trains and bus stations.
Captain, listen.
Shewkesbury"s death put everyone
right along side us, kid.
I mean their case has gone cold,
and they"re hoping there's some connective tissue
in ours that will allow them to get closer to the bigger player
that Shewkesbury was supposed to give them.
This is bigger than us.
Bigger than doing the right thing by that kid?
Take a breath.
Bullshit, that kid is hanging on by a thread
and we"re just going to dangle him as bait?
Enough!
I know you can protect that kid.
That"s why you'll be there and I know More will protect you.
This is all we have.
So put some talc on your taint and get over it.
Our COMSTAT intel says this is hot spot,
lots of partying, lots of arrests.
Makes sense, we"re downtown, near the tunnel.
And that"s the most popular bar in this sector.
So the best thing for us to do now is set up and...
Hey Sammy, can you do me a favor again?
Another one?
Can you check security camera footage on an address for me?
Why not.
Great neighborhood.
Any problem with crackheads
trying to use your place as a crash pad?
I sealed off all points of entry.
Doors and windows are wired.
Fuck you mean, wired?
I mean don"t touch anything unless I say it"s safe.
You know I was already here, right.
You know I almost broke into this fucking place.
I know.
Any you didn"t fuck and stop me?
I could"ve blown myself and this whole fucking place up.
I was hoping you"d do the right thing.
You did.
Motherfuck, you"re going to invade New York.
Not necessary just yet.
Nice picture. When was it taken?
Right before the ambush.
That"s when it happened?
Ninety minutes after that photo was taken,
four of those men were dead.
Three were wounded, including me.
Don"t touch that!
What is it?
The PLGR.
What the fuck is that?
Precision lightweight GPS receiver.
And it does... what?
Gives coordinates. We use it to call in airstrikes.
What coordinates do you plan to blow away?
Here.
You serious.
You have an air strike ready to take out your own house?
My position is overrun, I can"t leave anything behind.
And how do you intend to do this?
You have a code word that I hope
I didn"t accidentally say you crazy mother fucker?
No. I just change the batteries,
the receiver resets default coordinates on it"s own.
You won"t always see me today.
We need to keep our comms clear.
I need a handle for you, something nobody knows,
in case they"re monitoring the NYPD signal.
When I was a kid, I played a lot of basketball.
Used to get in pickup games in the park with older kids.
They called me Six.
Six. I like it.
So, what do they call you?
Crazy mother fucker.
My first name"s Everett. They call me Ever.
Ever More.
What is this?
.458 SOCOM. High-velocity. Armor piercing.
Coño.
Season"s open.
You know, I liked you better when you didn"t talk so much.
What the fuck you doing?
More said it was bugged.
Phones, too.
That"s fucking city property.
It"s compromised.
Yeah. Phones, too.
What the fuck you think you"re even going to accomplish?
I fucking well hope you know
how to fucking put that back together!
We"re a quick study.
Mad quick.
Are you mad quick ready for today?
Gun"s ready.
I filled out my T.R.I. in advance.
Get the fuck out of the way.
Fuck!
What the fuck you doing in the dark?
There"s no smoking in here.
Fuck you want, Totentantz?
I read an article.
Oh, you read?
About Washington.
Oh, so just the funnies.
Who are you investigating?
Big place, Washington. Doubt you know them.
I don"t think you realize what it is to have me in your office.
Hey...
Stop fucking doing that.
What"s this?
Hands off the photo or we"re not cops,
we"re just two guys in a room.
I find out your investigation solely exists
to help your buddy in OCID,
I will burn it and C.A.B. down.
Say you understand.
I understand.
Why"d you come here?
I didn"t.
So who the fuck you investigate in this city, pray tell?
Big place, Manhattan. Doubt you know them.
Asshole.
Maybe. Maybe I"m just a guy in a room.
Get the fuck out of my way.
Steak.
One.
You gotta put it back.
Although you know it wouldn"t be you, a terrible job.
What"s that?
Working for LA.
She makes me nervous.
She"s harmless, really.
And like I said, it"s absolutely not prostitution.
She seems a little crazy.
You have to do what makes you comfortable.
I guess what I"m saying is,
if you decided to do it, I wouldn"t have an issue with it.
You wand me to take the job?
I want you to be happy.
It will all be over soon, kid.
Don"t worry.
Well, congratulations to you, too.
Our mutual acquaintance tells me that
you have done quite well for yourself this year.
Yes, well.
Politicians do excel at that.
I am looking to diversify. What did you have in mind?
That is a big investment.
I"m intrigued. Yes.
I"ll reach out when I'm ready to discuss next steps.
Looking forward to it.
How did it go?
What do you know about buses?
You know I have a son.
Had a son.
It"s about your age when he...
You"re in good hands is all I"m trying to say to you.
All we need you to do is stand where we tell you.
Soon as Varna shows, we"ll take care of the rest.
McKeutchen said you made me.
I did.
How?
Speeding ticket through RTCC.
Put you in North Carolina, then to your base.
Sloppy.
Anybody else would have missed it.
You didn"t.
Nope.
Maybe you shouldn"t have picked me after all, I mean.
Make sure everybody is in position
before you turn on Renny"s phone.
Hey, you don"t have to tell me what to do.
Hey, Jesus.
What"s your point?
No! No!
Easy, kid. Easy, kid. Take it easy.
Take it easy. Take it easy.
It"s okay. Take it easy. Take it easy.
You"re late.
And yet, you"re still here.
Well, what you said peaked my curiosity.
Thought for sure it"d peak your inner Pulitzer.
Oh, let"s not get ahead of ourselves.
Why not? All of us are already so far behind.
What is this place?
A safe house.
Ha!
Why me?
I like what you"re doing for C.A.B..
Who says I"m doing anything for them?
Oh, boys will talk.
I"m reporting about C.A.B., not for them.
Reporting. That"s what you call it?
Cut the bullshit.
Shewkesbury was going to give us his partner.
It was a little dance and we were nearing the end of it
when he happened to fall out of a highly secured area.
How do you know Shewkesbury wasn"t just depressed.
How do you know he even had a partner at all?
Oh, he had a partner.
He couldn"t have done this alone.
And whoever he was working with threw him out our window.
That sounds like quite a story.
And yet again, here you stand.
Shewkesbury needed someone bigger,
with more international networks,
more access, more money.
There are about a thousand known illegitimate operations
with access enough to handle the kind of money flow
you"re talking about.
Yes, but only a handful of legitimate ones,
when you factor in the ones
with the levels of international ties
necessary to make something like this even possible,
Oh, that handful gets even smaller.
Still sound like quite the story to you?
And you want me because?
I don"t know how much more Treasury is going to get
out of this current investigation.
Truth is, it may be dead for us already.
Let"s just say The Wall Street Journal might be a way
to shake things up a little, force an error,
keep the pressure on
while we get the investigation back on track.
And that"s your only goal?
To flush out this bigger player?
What else would it be?
I don"t like getting used.
Not all of us in DC are assholes, you know?
Some of us actually want to do the jobs we were hired for.
Shake things up.
That"s right.
You think that"s what I'll do?
I think that"s who you are.
Hey Renny.
Hey, this thing here is gonna,
is going to allow me to hear you and you can hear us.
Hey, hey Renny, Renny. Hey.
I"m going to stick it in your...
No, I"m going to stick this in your ear.
It"s going to be okay. It"s going to be okay, Renny.
There you go.
It"s going to be okay.
I promise.
In position at the back entrance.
Six, Ever. Radio check.
Ever, Six copy. What"s your position?
Are you ready?
Copy. Where are you?
Is everyone in position?
Copy. Where are you?
Turn on the phone.
Fuck you. Out.
Get in. Now.
My father"s...
My father"s here.
What"s he saying?
Renny, what"s going on?
Renny, stay with us.
Nothing"s going to happen to you.
Stay with us, alright.
Your father"s not here, we are.
Renny, what"s wrong?
I can see my father,
but I can"t find my way home.
He"s losing it, guys.
I"m gonna to get him.
We got something.
Fuck.
Renny, hang in there.
Hang in there.
Down!
Who says we don"t do quiet?
We"ve secured four men.
We have Varna?
Negative.
Let"s keep this tight. He may still show.
Stay still and be quiet or I will kill you and enjoy it.
Quietly.
Look over there, alright.
That"s for making me come to Staten Island.
We got something else here.
The motorcycle is approaching.
Alright, off the motorcycle.
I used people.
It"s okay.
Get off the bike!
I made bad choices.
It"s over.
Get on the ground.
Put your hands over your head.
Now!
Whoa, Renny! What are you doing?
Renny, get away from there!
Renny!
Let go.
He"s gotta be wearing a vest.
Aim for the head.
Renny, get out of there.
Jesus Fucking Christ!
We got him trapped! Let"s move in!
Renny!
Just let go.
Fuck!
Renny.
Kid. Kid. Kid.
Take it easy, kid.
It"s okay, Renny.
It"s okay.
It"s over. It's over, Renny.
Renny, it"s over. It's over.
Take it easy. Calm down.
Goddammit!
What the fuck did you just do?
How the fuck are you gonna explain that weaponry?
You better have a good explanation.
I am not fucking around.
It"s okay.
More! You mother fucker.
Get him up. Come on.
Come on.
You"re okay. I got you. I got you.
You got him?
I got him. Come on. I got you.
Fuck!
Explain.
More thought...
I"m fucking talking to More.
Do you have any fucking idea
what your little upgrades have brought into this.
You stupid motherfuckers.
You just handed me your own asses.
Fuck.
Hey, assholes, I"m talking to you.
Men of the hour.
Just the morons I want to thank.
Smoking is prohibited.
So are armor piercing rounds, dickhead.
I am going to bring down a full-bore.
Justice Department colonoscopy on the NYPD.
Yeah, wouldn"t be the first.
But it will be your fucking last.
That I fucking guarantee you.
You and your pal at OCID.
All due respect, Sir.
Hey, stupid, who fucking told you Frag-12 rounds
were an appropriate response to a civilian sting op?
Hold on, strike that,
how the fuck did you get Frag-12 rounds?
It was a clean shoot.
It was a fucking bloodbath.
Sorry I missed it.
Me too.
I had to scrape the junkyard to do a crash DNA test
and run it through Interpol
to find out who the fuck you just unlawfully liquefied.
And here"s the best part,
his name was Ahmed Kadyrov aka "Babyface", a Chechen enforcer
for a multinational Eastern European crime syndicate
which is rumored to be headed by Ukrainian national,
Miroslav Tkachenko, aka "The Slav".
Which would mean something if you guys were actual police
but since you"re fucking hacks with badges you wouldn"t know
that he was a high-value target for law enforcement and
intelligence agencies throughout the Gulf States,
the Russian Federation, the EU, the UK and,
Oh yeah, the US.
And since it was rumored
that Babyface was working for The Slav,
it would have been a good thing to be able to talk
with such a big man face-to-face.
Good idea. Maybe I should talk to him.
Oh, wait, I can"t talk,
Because you just turned him to fucking soup!
No, let him go.
Get a few licks in before I send you
and your joke of a department straight to hell.
I have no idea how you managed to survive out here
in the wilds of your own incompetence,
but I"ve got your asses now
and I"m going to dick ride you, all the way to prosecution.
Excessive force.
Interfering with a federal investigation.
Unauthorized and unlawful use of military grade weaponry,
I mean do you guys even realize just how fucked you really are?
Have your little brains even processed
just how "over" this is for you?
And you, having a hand in my witness
ultimately getting killed
don"t think I won't burn every favor I"ve ever earned
making that stick, you fucking children.
Everybody wants to be a cop.
Until they have to be one.
So this is how it goes, you dirty mutt cocksuckers.
Empty your desks now, because by tomorrow,
hipsters will be selling
overpriced coffee and hemp salad
and you all better have a carnivorous lawyer
because at 9AM tomorrow I"m going to have
each and every one of you New York idiots.
Ahhh, fuck!
Shit.
Are you people involved with this?
Indeed.
Fuck!
I had hoped for a little less attention.
It was a clean shoot.
Perp, open fired my men,
they had no choice but to fire back.
I was there. I"m not telling you anything I won"t say in court.
Still. Disappointing.
Don"t worry about Totentantz and Reale.
It"ll just go away.
That"s it? We don't get to know anything more?
What about the cab murders?
You"ve got more than what you know what to do with as it is.
Everything from Varna"s brothel,
what was left behind at the copy shop.
That"s going to take you months,
maybe even years, to unravel.
But it won"t answer the questions
we have right about now.
Are you aware that everything
you"ve done here is 100% illegal?
Yes.
And?
And if you"re quiet about it
you"ll get your second grade and your transfer to OCID.
That was what you wanted, wasn"t it?
Who the fuck are you?
Detective...
I can see why More picked you.
That"s not an answer.
Nobody gives a fuck about these cab murders.
What are you looking so sour for?
You"re going to OCID and when you"re gone,
I"m going to have to find someone as pig-headed as you
to break in all over again.
You said this plan was going to work with Renny.
I did.
You were optimistic.
Well, I guess Oswald Spengler was right.
Who?
Get the fuck outta here.
Gladly.
We will be landing in Amsterdam shortly, Mr. Varna.
Jesus is coming!
Baijanti Divya talks exclusively with Channel 7 News.
I hope these sad events focus public attention
on the plight of New York City cabdrivers,
four of whom have been brutally murdered within the past month.
Surely the TLC and City Hall don"t want more protests
like the one we staged last week.
I call upon Mayor Baumgarten and the TLC
to adopt stricter driver-security measures
and better NYPD protection for New York City cabdrivers.
You want us?
There"s a report of a body in the water off Roosevelt Island.
Fuck that!
Kick that shit to Homicide.
Now.
C.A.B. is finally getting a word of support from the city.
Speaker Isabella Trickanella,
I think C.A.B. Group One is to be commended
for bringing these underground clubs
and the violence they brought to a close.
The Mayor"s deeply troubled by the raids,
but is going to withhold comments
until all the facts are in.
This just in on that recent town hall riot.
Michael, who was accompanied by several brown shirted supporters
has made a statement saying the good workers of New York
were quote, "sick and tired of their elected officials"
selling them out to the highest bidder", unquote.
He further indicated that this unrest would continue until
public officials finally get the message.
A spokesperson from Mayor Baumgarten"s office
was not available for comment.
But this ongoing issue with train service disruptions
would seem to further validate the Mayor"s trust program.
I"m grateful.
Start showing it.
You know it"s never a good thing when people know your hang-outs.
You"re not people.
No. I suppose not.
They"re tearing this high school down, next month.
I read about that.
They don"t have anything to put up in its place.
It"s just going to leave a hole.
It"s just going to make it nothing.
He"d be doing this now.
He wanted to be an athlete if he were still...
It"s what he wanted.
He wanted to be like you.
Is that you?
I don"t know anything about that one.
What are you going to do about this Renny kid?
Paying his hospital bills right now.
Trying to keep the Narc Sharks away from him
at least until he is off the bed pan.
Decent of you.
Is it?
Have we been decent?
I just feel that, maybe we missed something.
Maybe it"s in all those files we have to go through now.
Maybe.
It"s not your fault. About the kid.
I put him in that situation.
I made him bait.
I didn"t have to listen to More.
I"m not talking about that kid.
Yeah, I got an ID here.
If it"s this poor fuck,
it says his name is William Rochester.
There"s some specials here so it looks like it might be
one of the dealers in Varna"s network.
No, no forensics in.
Oh shit, grab the head.
Grab the head.
His head came right off!
Holy shit, amazing.
Rhode and More are leaving.
The rest of the feds cut out earlier.
Dutch police found Varna"s remains
trapped inside a hydroelectric plant outside Rotterdam.
He got far.
They figured he wanted another sluice head first
about a quarter mile above the trap,
which is made out of strands of ultra-thin high tensile wires.
Imagine being driven face-first through a potato masher
and that"s how things ended for him.
Prelim forensics indicate he was alive when it happened.
The Slav?
No one outruns him.
You almost caught him.
So, uh...
Okay.
Whatever you need I"ll be right up the hall.
Shhhh.
Let"s go to sleep.
Go to sleep, Renny.
Why didn"t you kill Renny, too?
Would have had to take out Santiago and McKeutchen.
Well, you were cleared to do so.
You had the green light to shut this down.
Now, there"s a loose thread out there
for someone to start pulling.
You"re going to stay on them now, keep watch.
Does it bother you at all that we don"t know a thing
about the local talent that went to war with Varna?
Don"t start thinking on me.
Yes, sir.
Let"s go.
Is he gone?
You missed it.
Get in. Now.
Had I known we were leaving tonight,
I would have packed some more.
What about Marcus?
JFK.
I"m gonna keep investigating these murders.
I ain"t letting shit go.
Do you what you must.
