1
00:00:04,526 --> 00:00:07,137
In the nation's
largest city,
2
00:00:07,137 --> 00:00:09,879
the vicious and violent
members of the underworld
3
00:00:09,879 --> 00:00:11,489
are hunted by the detectives
4
00:00:11,489 --> 00:00:14,710
of the Organized Crime
Control Bureau.
5
00:00:14,710 --> 00:00:17,234
These are their stories.
6
00:00:23,284 --> 00:00:25,286
Curtis McCrary, FBI.
7
00:00:25,286 --> 00:00:27,853
Junior Suarez's DNA
was found at the murder
8
00:00:27,853 --> 00:00:29,681
of a HOA president?
9
00:00:29,681 --> 00:00:31,553
I'm glad
that bitch got killed.
10
00:00:31,553 --> 00:00:33,207
Must be some mistake
at the lab.
11
00:00:33,207 --> 00:00:36,036
And these walls?
They move for no man.
12
00:00:36,036 --> 00:00:39,256
Inmates that get a request
for a hit from the outside,
13
00:00:39,256 --> 00:00:42,172
so then they earn
an unofficial furlough.
14
00:00:42,172 --> 00:00:44,566
Junior Suarez,
he gets paid for one hit
15
00:00:44,566 --> 00:00:46,829
when none of the other convicts
get paid for theirs.
16
00:00:46,829 --> 00:00:48,700
So the money that
he sends his sister
17
00:00:48,700 --> 00:00:52,791
had to have been earned
from somewhere else--where?
18
00:00:53,227 --> 00:00:55,490
What can you tell me
about your attacker?
19
00:00:55,490 --> 00:00:57,448
He knew my name.
20
00:00:57,448 --> 00:00:59,885
When he was done,
he took a selfie.
21
00:00:59,885 --> 00:01:03,541
We're looking at some kind
of market for revenge rape.
22
00:01:03,541 --> 00:01:06,196
I had nothing to do with
Maria being attacked.
23
00:01:06,196 --> 00:01:07,893
OC is working two murders.
24
00:01:07,893 --> 00:01:10,287
DNA from both scenes
matches one of our rapes.
25
00:01:10,287 --> 00:01:11,593
Maria Varga.
26
00:01:11,593 --> 00:01:13,377
I think you and I
are working the same case
27
00:01:13,377 --> 00:01:15,205
from opposite ends.
28
00:01:15,205 --> 00:01:17,338
Okay, partner.
29
00:01:18,121 --> 00:01:22,908
Olivia Benson,
meet Rachel Lee Sprague.
30
00:01:22,908 --> 00:01:24,910
- Your HOA lady.
- Mm-hmm.
31
00:01:24,910 --> 00:01:26,216
Talk about an outlier.
32
00:01:26,216 --> 00:01:28,523
57-year-old female,
Staten Island,
33
00:01:28,523 --> 00:01:31,613
murdered by a BX9 inmate,
Junior Suarez,
34
00:01:31,613 --> 00:01:34,529
who goes on to rape your nanny.
35
00:01:34,529 --> 00:01:36,922
- Okay, uh...
- Smells bad, doesn't it?
36
00:01:36,922 --> 00:01:39,011
Uh, yeah, it does.
37
00:01:39,011 --> 00:01:42,928
Kind of like a cop who hasn't
showered in a couple days.
38
00:01:42,928 --> 00:01:44,756
Hmm.
39
00:01:44,756 --> 00:01:47,411
Well, look, you know, I just--
40
00:01:47,411 --> 00:01:49,021
Where did that end?
41
00:01:49,021 --> 00:01:50,240
You talk to the neighbors?
42
00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:52,460
Mm-hmm.
They all hated her.
43
00:01:52,460 --> 00:01:55,115
- Why?
- Power trip.
44
00:01:55,115 --> 00:01:56,203
You know, she was a stickler,
45
00:01:56,203 --> 00:01:58,422
so she was fining people
left and right
46
00:01:58,422 --> 00:02:00,163
about the small stuff
in fractions.
47
00:02:00,163 --> 00:02:02,426
My mother, Detective Bernie,
48
00:02:02,426 --> 00:02:04,080
thinks that she was acting out,
49
00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:07,692
she was in pain because she'd
recently lost her husband.
50
00:02:09,999 --> 00:02:12,044
You're wearing your
wedding ring again.
51
00:02:14,699 --> 00:02:18,660
I'm not Rachel Lee Sprague.
I found it in a drawer.
52
00:02:18,660 --> 00:02:19,661
And don't do that.
53
00:02:19,661 --> 00:02:21,619
You're doing that
with the eyes,
54
00:02:21,619 --> 00:02:26,058
with the head cock
and the dime-sized pupils.
55
00:02:26,058 --> 00:02:28,148
It's called empathy.
56
00:02:38,158 --> 00:02:39,898
I saw her.
57
00:02:44,773 --> 00:02:45,991
Kathy.
58
00:02:45,991 --> 00:02:49,212
Okay. Where?
59
00:02:49,212 --> 00:02:51,171
Over there,
60
00:02:51,171 --> 00:02:56,524
sitting down in a...
hospital gown.
61
00:02:56,524 --> 00:03:01,006
Just kind of, like,
waiting to be interrogated.
62
00:03:02,399 --> 00:03:07,796
Well, maybe she wanted
to interrogate you.
63
00:03:07,796 --> 00:03:11,756
I'm not losing my mind.
64
00:03:11,756 --> 00:03:13,454
Okay.
65
00:03:13,454 --> 00:03:15,325
Well, El, you know,
66
00:03:15,325 --> 00:03:17,632
if there's, um,
one thing that I've learned
67
00:03:17,632 --> 00:03:20,809
after all these years,
it's that, um...
68
00:03:20,809 --> 00:03:23,203
if we don't deal with our
trauma, the world will.
69
00:03:23,203 --> 00:03:25,030
I'm not a victim.
70
00:03:26,510 --> 00:03:28,860
But you are a survivor.
71
00:03:33,430 --> 00:03:35,824
And sometimes,
that's just as hard.
72
00:03:40,307 --> 00:03:41,525
We need to find out
73
00:03:41,525 --> 00:03:45,790
who paid Suarez
to do these things.
74
00:03:47,009 --> 00:03:49,359
So let's head
back up to Green Haven.
75
00:03:49,359 --> 00:03:51,666
- Good.
- Good.
76
00:03:51,666 --> 00:03:54,495
In the meantime,
77
00:03:54,495 --> 00:03:57,237
I would get some sleep.
78
00:04:05,462 --> 00:04:07,725
Yo, yo,
why you making a mess?
79
00:04:07,725 --> 00:04:09,814
'Cause we know you had a
cell phone in there somewhere.
80
00:04:09,814 --> 00:04:10,946
We're not allowed.
81
00:04:10,946 --> 00:04:13,296
So this girl...
82
00:04:13,296 --> 00:04:15,211
your DNA is
all over her rape kit.
83
00:04:17,344 --> 00:04:20,651
Yo, this is my home, man!
Take it easy!
84
00:04:20,651 --> 00:04:21,739
Yo.
85
00:04:21,739 --> 00:04:24,742
How'd you get the job
to rape her?
86
00:04:24,742 --> 00:04:26,744
There it is. You see that?
- I certainly did.
87
00:04:26,744 --> 00:04:28,311
Like a little boy
who just stole a 20
88
00:04:28,311 --> 00:04:29,791
out of his mama's purse.
89
00:04:29,791 --> 00:04:33,142
What are you gonna do?
I'm already in jail for life.
90
00:04:33,142 --> 00:04:36,928
Junior, who paid you?
91
00:04:36,928 --> 00:04:38,582
I was moonlighting.
92
00:04:38,582 --> 00:04:42,282
Like you cops do when
you work security at Walmart.
93
00:04:42,282 --> 00:04:44,327
Found something.
94
00:04:44,327 --> 00:04:47,069
- That's not mine.
- It's not?
95
00:04:47,069 --> 00:04:48,940
No?
96
00:04:48,940 --> 00:04:50,899
Well, then you won't mind
if we take it with us.
97
00:04:52,248 --> 00:04:53,205
Let's go to the
prison library,
98
00:04:53,205 --> 00:04:56,121
check out the computers.
99
00:05:03,433 --> 00:05:04,652
Yo, yo, yo, yo!
100
00:05:04,652 --> 00:05:06,567
My parole documents
are in there, man!
101
00:05:06,567 --> 00:05:07,785
I already took your eye.
102
00:05:07,785 --> 00:05:09,309
Don't make me
take your tongue, too.
103
00:05:13,878 --> 00:05:17,142
Captain Benson.
104
00:05:23,584 --> 00:05:26,630
100 or so open rapes
105
00:05:26,630 --> 00:05:30,373
perpetrated by known
BX9 recruiters.
106
00:05:31,156 --> 00:05:33,463
Oscar Papa put the hit out
on me.
107
00:05:33,463 --> 00:05:34,899
- I'm sorry you were hurt...
- Mom!
108
00:05:34,899 --> 00:05:36,379
It pains me more that
your son was traumatized--
109
00:05:36,379 --> 00:05:40,340
If you say one more word
about my son,
110
00:05:40,340 --> 00:05:42,603
it will be your last.
111
00:05:46,955 --> 00:05:49,218
You are like ASMR
for the soul.
112
00:05:51,699 --> 00:05:53,831
Is there a problem?
113
00:05:53,831 --> 00:05:57,008
We were just on Questlaw,
doing legal research.
114
00:05:57,008 --> 00:06:00,055
Yeah, well,
that's gonna have to wait.
115
00:06:00,055 --> 00:06:01,491
Who are these guys?
116
00:06:01,491 --> 00:06:02,797
Well, this charmer right here
117
00:06:02,797 --> 00:06:07,802
likes to decorate trees
with women's misery.
118
00:06:07,802 --> 00:06:12,023
Were you why I had to go up
to Woodstock and get Noah?
119
00:06:12,023 --> 00:06:13,373
That who you are?
120
00:06:15,897 --> 00:06:17,159
Huh?
121
00:06:17,159 --> 00:06:18,465
Keep doing what you're doing.
122
00:06:18,465 --> 00:06:19,857
Yeah?
123
00:06:19,857 --> 00:06:22,382
Hey! Elliot.
124
00:06:22,382 --> 00:06:24,862
Stop.
125
00:06:29,693 --> 00:06:32,566
Captain, I'm glad you
got somebody who cares for you.
126
00:06:34,959 --> 00:06:36,439
You deserve that.
127
00:06:39,355 --> 00:06:40,748
I wish you hadn't done that.
128
00:06:40,748 --> 00:06:42,402
- If someone tried to kill me--
- I'd kill him.
129
00:06:42,402 --> 00:06:44,012
Well, then, compared to you,
I showed remarkable restraint.
130
00:06:44,012 --> 00:06:46,580
He gave me his word.
Noah is safe.
131
00:06:46,580 --> 00:06:49,017
Protect the case, not me.
132
00:06:49,017 --> 00:06:50,497
He gave you his word? Okay.
133
00:06:50,497 --> 00:06:52,542
Look, these guys are not gonna
tell us who hired 'em.
134
00:06:52,542 --> 00:06:53,674
Neither can
Rachel Lee Sprague.
135
00:06:53,674 --> 00:06:54,805
All right, well,
136
00:06:54,805 --> 00:06:56,416
while Jet is
working the computers,
137
00:06:56,416 --> 00:06:58,635
maybe Bell can meet with
the one person who can talk--
138
00:06:58,635 --> 00:07:01,551
your rape victim.
139
00:07:53,385 --> 00:07:56,301
Sarge, Maria Varga's here.
140
00:07:56,301 --> 00:07:58,303
Rape vic Benson sent us.
141
00:07:58,303 --> 00:07:59,870
Yeah, let her in.
142
00:08:02,220 --> 00:08:05,528
Hi, Maria. I am Sergeant Bell.
Have a seat.
143
00:08:08,096 --> 00:08:10,533
Did SVU tell you why
we wanted to meet with you?
144
00:08:10,533 --> 00:08:11,926
Captain Benson said
145
00:08:11,926 --> 00:08:14,755
there might be a break
in my rape case.
146
00:08:14,755 --> 00:08:16,539
What's it have to do
with organized crime?
147
00:08:16,539 --> 00:08:18,280
Well,
we have reason to believe
148
00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:19,455
that what happened to you
149
00:08:19,455 --> 00:08:22,980
may have involved
money changing hands.
150
00:08:22,980 --> 00:08:26,027
Are you saying someone paid
to have me raped?
151
00:08:26,027 --> 00:08:29,465
And we want to stop it
from happening to someone else.
152
00:08:30,684 --> 00:08:33,077
If I showed you
some pictures,
153
00:08:33,077 --> 00:08:37,255
would you be able to point out
the man who attacked you?
154
00:08:48,092 --> 00:08:52,488
That's him.
That's the man who raped me.
155
00:08:52,488 --> 00:08:53,663
He didn't even try
to hide his face.
156
00:08:53,663 --> 00:08:56,361
That's very helpful.
Thank you, Maria.
157
00:08:56,361 --> 00:08:57,841
The original detectives said
158
00:08:57,841 --> 00:09:01,105
that there was some sort of
mix-up at the lab,
159
00:09:01,105 --> 00:09:04,761
that the DNA on my kit belonged
to some guy in prison.
160
00:09:04,761 --> 00:09:07,372
Yeah, he was in prison
and they let him out.
161
00:09:07,372 --> 00:09:08,678
To hurt me?
162
00:09:08,678 --> 00:09:10,593
That's what
we're investigating.
163
00:09:12,813 --> 00:09:14,379
I'm really sorry.
164
00:09:14,379 --> 00:09:16,556
I know this is difficult,
165
00:09:16,556 --> 00:09:19,254
but is there anybody
in your life,
166
00:09:19,254 --> 00:09:22,213
maybe a man you rejected,
167
00:09:22,213 --> 00:09:25,216
that would've paid
to see you raped?
168
00:09:25,216 --> 00:09:30,570
I told SVU
there are no men in my life.
169
00:09:30,570 --> 00:09:32,223
Well, SVU mentioned that
170
00:09:32,223 --> 00:09:36,663
you had a sexual relationship
with your previous employer.
171
00:09:36,663 --> 00:09:41,058
Yeah. Derek.
We slept together once.
172
00:09:41,058 --> 00:09:43,408
Is there any reason
he might want to hurt you?
173
00:09:48,239 --> 00:09:50,633
Maria ID'd Junior Suarez
as her rapist,
174
00:09:50,633 --> 00:09:52,113
but she's never
met the guy before.
175
00:09:52,113 --> 00:09:53,767
We already know that Suarez
didn't get this job
176
00:09:53,767 --> 00:09:55,246
out of the Green Haven
whisper network.
177
00:09:55,246 --> 00:09:56,770
He got it from
an outside source,
178
00:09:56,770 --> 00:09:59,642
so the question is how and who?
179
00:09:59,642 --> 00:10:00,904
What about the guy Maria
nannied for?
180
00:10:00,904 --> 00:10:02,036
- Derek Scully?
- Mm-hmm.
181
00:10:02,036 --> 00:10:03,864
SVU interviewed him.
He denied it.
182
00:10:03,864 --> 00:10:05,953
Yeah. Jet, did we get
anything off the phone
183
00:10:05,953 --> 00:10:07,781
that we found
in Suarez' cell this morning?
184
00:10:07,781 --> 00:10:10,174
Some Bitcoin transfers. 25k.
185
00:10:10,174 --> 00:10:11,611
The Bitcoin,
he turned it into cash
186
00:10:11,611 --> 00:10:12,699
and gave it to his sister.
187
00:10:12,699 --> 00:10:13,961
Where'd the Bitcoin
come from?
188
00:10:13,961 --> 00:10:15,832
All anonymous.
Went through a mixer.
189
00:10:15,832 --> 00:10:17,791
Pretty sophisticated
for a mid-level banger.
190
00:10:17,791 --> 00:10:19,096
How 'bout the computers
191
00:10:19,096 --> 00:10:21,055
that we got out of
the Green Haven library?
192
00:10:21,055 --> 00:10:24,449
Drives are clean, mostly.
193
00:10:24,449 --> 00:10:27,452
Prison system puts censorship
protocols on all its computers.
194
00:10:27,452 --> 00:10:30,107
- Anything else?
- Yes.
195
00:10:30,107 --> 00:10:34,416
Some enterprising, young banger
jerry-rigged the port.
196
00:10:34,416 --> 00:10:35,939
Probably used
for an external hard drive
197
00:10:35,939 --> 00:10:37,637
to bypass proxy servers.
198
00:10:37,637 --> 00:10:39,029
That's how they got
to the internet.
199
00:10:39,029 --> 00:10:40,596
- Mm-hmm.
- Email, social media?
200
00:10:40,596 --> 00:10:42,946
- Anything and everything.
- So Junior Suarez might've
201
00:10:42,946 --> 00:10:44,644
gotten the job to rape Maria
online after all.
202
00:10:44,644 --> 00:10:46,080
Mm.
203
00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:47,777
Whelan and I can head back
to Green Haven,
204
00:10:47,777 --> 00:10:50,171
try and find
that external drive.
205
00:10:50,171 --> 00:10:52,608
I think it's long gone.
Suarez knows we're onto him.
206
00:10:52,608 --> 00:10:54,088
But--
207
00:10:54,088 --> 00:10:56,568
How 'bout if we approach this
from the opposite end?
208
00:10:56,568 --> 00:10:57,657
Meaning?
209
00:10:57,657 --> 00:10:58,962
Get Derek Scully's computer
210
00:10:58,962 --> 00:11:00,790
to see if he had contact
with Suarez.
211
00:11:00,790 --> 00:11:02,966
What do you say?
212
00:11:02,966 --> 00:11:04,794
We're gonna need
an electronic search warrant.
213
00:11:04,794 --> 00:11:07,318
- Mm-hmm.
- So I'll reach out to the ADA.
214
00:11:07,318 --> 00:11:10,800
You two, I need you
to pay a visit to the Scullys.
215
00:11:13,150 --> 00:11:16,501
I don't understand.
You want Derek's computer?
216
00:11:16,501 --> 00:11:18,025
Not just his.
217
00:11:18,025 --> 00:11:20,462
We're here for every laptop,
iPad, phone in the house.
218
00:11:20,462 --> 00:11:22,072
We'll also be
stopping by your office
219
00:11:22,072 --> 00:11:24,161
and confiscating your devices
as well.
220
00:11:24,161 --> 00:11:26,729
- A'ight, come on in.
- May I see the warrant?
221
00:11:26,729 --> 00:11:28,731
Yeah.
You can show us where to look
222
00:11:28,731 --> 00:11:30,167
or we'll be happy
to redecorate.
223
00:11:30,167 --> 00:11:31,386
You should
see the last place.
224
00:11:31,386 --> 00:11:33,301
They tore that thing
down to the studs.
225
00:11:33,301 --> 00:11:34,476
I already told SVU
226
00:11:34,476 --> 00:11:36,130
I had nothing to do
with Maria's rape.
227
00:11:36,130 --> 00:11:38,523
He was here with me
all night.
228
00:11:38,523 --> 00:11:39,786
Well, that may be true,
229
00:11:39,786 --> 00:11:41,526
but somebody paid
for Ms. Varga to be raped.
230
00:11:41,526 --> 00:11:43,528
Mm-hmm, since we have
no other suspects--
231
00:11:43,528 --> 00:11:45,966
What, you're just here
to destroy our family?
232
00:11:45,966 --> 00:11:47,489
Derek, why don't you
make this easier
233
00:11:47,489 --> 00:11:49,752
on your wife and kids
and come talk to us in the car?
234
00:11:49,752 --> 00:11:51,449
So you can arrest me?
235
00:11:51,449 --> 00:11:53,408
So you're saying
there's a reason for that?
236
00:11:53,408 --> 00:11:54,670
Look, this whole thing
237
00:11:54,670 --> 00:11:56,150
is straight out of
some kind of nightmare.
238
00:11:56,150 --> 00:11:57,760
It's clear
someone's setting me up.
239
00:11:57,760 --> 00:11:59,719
You think I wanted
to get Maria raped?
240
00:11:59,719 --> 00:12:01,242
Considering
your recent affair.
241
00:12:01,242 --> 00:12:02,722
The anger you must've felt
when it ended--
242
00:12:02,722 --> 00:12:04,724
Stop!
243
00:12:05,463 --> 00:12:10,642
You don't need to take
Derek's computer or his iPad.
244
00:12:10,642 --> 00:12:13,080
You can just take mine.
245
00:12:20,827 --> 00:12:22,524
To be clear,
246
00:12:22,524 --> 00:12:25,266
my client is in no way
associated with BX9,
247
00:12:25,266 --> 00:12:28,225
a murder-for-hire scheme
in Green Haven,
248
00:12:28,225 --> 00:12:30,227
or a Junior Suarez.
249
00:12:30,227 --> 00:12:31,838
We're not saying she is.
250
00:12:31,838 --> 00:12:35,319
She's just a normal,
everyday wife and mother.
251
00:12:35,319 --> 00:12:38,322
As well as being
an accessory to rape.
252
00:12:38,322 --> 00:12:40,368
I'm not a rapist.
253
00:12:40,368 --> 00:12:42,979
I'm not, I'm not!
254
00:12:42,979 --> 00:12:45,547
That may very well be true,
Ms. Scully,
255
00:12:45,547 --> 00:12:50,073
but right now, you're facing
a rape one charge.
256
00:12:50,073 --> 00:12:53,076
- Can't you do something?
- While you were home,
257
00:12:53,076 --> 00:12:54,774
tucking your children into bed,
258
00:12:54,774 --> 00:12:57,733
the woman who used to care
for them was being raped.
259
00:12:57,733 --> 00:13:00,431
With the kids
that she now nannies for
260
00:13:00,431 --> 00:13:02,390
right in the next room.
261
00:13:02,390 --> 00:13:05,175
Now, that is dark,
even for a sociopath.
262
00:13:06,829 --> 00:13:09,571
Where'd you get your
psychology degree?
263
00:13:09,571 --> 00:13:12,008
30 years of human depravity.
264
00:13:12,008 --> 00:13:13,183
All right, look.
265
00:13:13,183 --> 00:13:14,445
We're getting ahead
of ourselves here.
266
00:13:14,445 --> 00:13:15,751
Ms. Scully is in possession
267
00:13:15,751 --> 00:13:17,797
of invaluable
material information.
268
00:13:17,797 --> 00:13:20,887
And before she spills it,
you want to make a deal.
269
00:13:20,887 --> 00:13:22,976
I'm a defense attorney.
That's how this works.
270
00:13:22,976 --> 00:13:25,500
She talks,
you give some concessions.
271
00:13:25,500 --> 00:13:28,285
What's the ask?
272
00:13:28,285 --> 00:13:31,027
Total indemnification.
273
00:13:34,639 --> 00:13:37,207
For facilitating rape?
Try again.
274
00:13:37,207 --> 00:13:38,687
Okay, how about this?
275
00:13:38,687 --> 00:13:40,994
She tells us
everything she knows
276
00:13:40,994 --> 00:13:43,866
and then we tell you
how valuable it is.
277
00:13:47,696 --> 00:13:49,176
Okay.
278
00:13:49,176 --> 00:13:51,961
Why did you hire Junior Suarez
to rape your ex-nanny?
279
00:13:54,224 --> 00:13:55,835
She slept with my husband.
280
00:13:55,835 --> 00:13:58,533
Oh, so it was
purely vindictive?
281
00:14:00,665 --> 00:14:05,757
Derek and I are trying.
282
00:14:05,757 --> 00:14:08,369
My life will never be the same.
283
00:14:08,369 --> 00:14:09,979
Well, neither will hers, now.
284
00:14:09,979 --> 00:14:13,287
I don't even know
Junior Suarez.
285
00:14:13,287 --> 00:14:14,462
So how'd you get in touch
with him?
286
00:14:14,462 --> 00:14:15,898
He--
287
00:14:15,898 --> 00:14:20,816
A woman at work heard me
crying in the bathroom...
288
00:14:20,816 --> 00:14:26,082
and she told me
about a website.
289
00:14:26,082 --> 00:14:29,520
It's called Shadowerk.
290
00:14:31,783 --> 00:14:35,135
Shadowerk.
Umlauts.
291
00:14:35,135 --> 00:14:37,224
German?
292
00:14:37,224 --> 00:14:40,357
I'm guessing this isn't a site
you just stumble across.
293
00:14:40,357 --> 00:14:43,273
You need a Tor browser.
294
00:14:43,273 --> 00:14:45,014
And you need to be invited.
295
00:14:45,014 --> 00:14:46,320
How's it work?
296
00:14:46,320 --> 00:14:48,583
It's like Kickstarter.
297
00:14:48,583 --> 00:14:50,802
But for human depravity.
298
00:14:50,802 --> 00:14:52,326
Hmm.
299
00:14:52,326 --> 00:14:55,546
You pay in Bitcoin and
a total stranger takes the job.
300
00:14:55,546 --> 00:14:58,245
So weaponized anonymity?
301
00:14:58,245 --> 00:15:00,247
To hide rape, murder.
302
00:15:00,247 --> 00:15:03,598
Whatever... you want done.
303
00:15:05,339 --> 00:15:07,036
Okay, are we satisfied?
304
00:15:10,344 --> 00:15:13,390
You want indemnity?
305
00:15:13,390 --> 00:15:15,001
Invite us in.
306
00:15:20,049 --> 00:15:23,226
Gretchen Scully isn't
gonna be arrested, is she?
307
00:15:23,226 --> 00:15:25,098
Well, it's not my
favorite aspect about the case,
308
00:15:25,098 --> 00:15:26,316
but yeah, if she cooperates.
309
00:15:26,316 --> 00:15:28,579
Access to the site is key.
310
00:15:28,579 --> 00:15:29,841
I'm only asking because
311
00:15:29,841 --> 00:15:32,061
I think it's better
if we don't process her.
312
00:15:32,061 --> 00:15:33,410
Why?
313
00:15:33,410 --> 00:15:35,891
Because anyone who runs
a murder-for-hire site
314
00:15:35,891 --> 00:15:38,763
is bound to be
pretty sophisticated.
315
00:15:38,763 --> 00:15:39,721
You think
they might have eyes
316
00:15:39,721 --> 00:15:41,114
on the NYPD booking server?
317
00:15:41,114 --> 00:15:43,507
That's what I would do
if I was them.
318
00:15:43,507 --> 00:15:44,987
Noted.
319
00:15:44,987 --> 00:15:45,988
You almost in?
320
00:15:45,988 --> 00:15:50,253
Registering a username, and...
321
00:15:54,518 --> 00:15:56,607
- Goodness.
- Gretchen wasn't kidding.
322
00:15:56,607 --> 00:15:58,653
Uber Eats for violent crime.
323
00:15:58,653 --> 00:16:01,090
And there's a whole lot
of open jobs.
324
00:16:01,090 --> 00:16:02,526
Look at this.
325
00:16:02,526 --> 00:16:05,051
Someone wants to break
a rival cheerleader's legs.
326
00:16:05,051 --> 00:16:07,096
Is there a page
for completed jobs?
327
00:16:07,096 --> 00:16:10,404
Yeah, right here.
328
00:16:10,404 --> 00:16:12,449
There's Maria Varga.
329
00:16:12,449 --> 00:16:14,277
I'll let Benson know.
330
00:16:14,277 --> 00:16:17,063
And your HOA president,
Rachel Lee Sprague.
331
00:16:23,460 --> 00:16:24,809
So once again,
the Pareto Principle
332
00:16:24,809 --> 00:16:26,202
turns out to be right.
333
00:16:26,202 --> 00:16:28,988
20% of the perps
commit 80% of the crimes.
334
00:16:28,988 --> 00:16:30,641
Hang on.
335
00:16:30,641 --> 00:16:34,341
Her murder was crowdfunded.
336
00:16:34,341 --> 00:16:36,908
Shows nine anonymous users.
337
00:16:36,908 --> 00:16:39,781
And I think I know exactly
what street they live on.
338
00:16:55,449 --> 00:16:58,408
So which one of these NIMBYS
do you think is the ringleader?
339
00:16:58,408 --> 00:16:59,844
Well, obviously,
we won't know
340
00:16:59,844 --> 00:17:01,237
until we look
at their computers,
341
00:17:01,237 --> 00:17:03,979
but if I were to guess,
I'd say Julius next door.
342
00:17:07,852 --> 00:17:10,333
Rachel kept fining him for
leaving his Hanukkah lights up.
343
00:17:10,333 --> 00:17:13,032
Oh. My neighbors hate
when I do that.
344
00:17:13,032 --> 00:17:14,468
And you wonder why
345
00:17:14,468 --> 00:17:18,559
your invite to the holiday
party always gets lost.
346
00:17:18,559 --> 00:17:22,302
My taxes put bread
on your table.
347
00:17:22,302 --> 00:17:26,349
You high-stepping
gestapo bastard!
348
00:17:28,090 --> 00:17:31,224
Hey, I want your name
and badge number!
349
00:17:40,711 --> 00:17:43,888
To think it all started
with an election sign.
350
00:17:43,888 --> 00:17:45,368
Trump-Biden, or?
351
00:17:45,368 --> 00:17:48,545
No, the homeowner's
association.
352
00:17:48,545 --> 00:17:52,114
Rachel was a bitch
before she won, but afterwards?
353
00:17:52,114 --> 00:17:54,377
She was an unholy terror.
354
00:17:54,377 --> 00:17:56,249
Power just went to her head.
355
00:17:56,249 --> 00:17:58,338
Yeah, we all have a Rachel
in our life.
356
00:17:58,338 --> 00:18:00,166
Phyllis Jackson
would've been a better choice
357
00:18:00,166 --> 00:18:03,038
for HOA leadership, but, uh,
358
00:18:03,038 --> 00:18:04,648
neighborhood didn't think
it was ready
359
00:18:04,648 --> 00:18:06,694
for a lesbian president.
360
00:18:08,435 --> 00:18:11,960
So you all had Rachel killed?
361
00:18:11,960 --> 00:18:13,527
Shadowerk.
362
00:18:15,050 --> 00:18:16,921
You're familiar with it, right?
363
00:18:19,576 --> 00:18:22,057
Vinny, our treasurer,
knew about it.
364
00:18:22,057 --> 00:18:23,754
He's an IT guy in the city.
365
00:18:23,754 --> 00:18:25,452
Okay, so how does that work?
366
00:18:25,452 --> 00:18:27,758
You get together at a barbecue
and start talking about murder?
367
00:18:27,758 --> 00:18:29,195
It was a Shabbat dinner.
368
00:18:29,195 --> 00:18:31,414
How much did you pitch in?
369
00:18:31,414 --> 00:18:33,547
Me? 500.
370
00:18:33,547 --> 00:18:34,678
I thought it was a joke.
371
00:18:34,678 --> 00:18:35,984
Well, it wasn't.
372
00:18:35,984 --> 00:18:38,117
Just ask Rachel Lee Sprague's
daughter.
373
00:18:38,117 --> 00:18:40,945
Yeah.
She's arranging a burial.
374
00:18:40,945 --> 00:18:44,601
- Rachel had a kid?
- Mm.
375
00:18:44,601 --> 00:18:47,387
I didn't know.
376
00:18:47,387 --> 00:18:50,477
Am I going to jail for this?
377
00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:56,222
Well, the bright side is,
now you'll have new neighbors.
378
00:18:56,222 --> 00:18:58,659
Guys, it's urgent.
379
00:19:04,012 --> 00:19:05,666
I made a real-time heatmap
380
00:19:05,666 --> 00:19:07,798
to track all these
revenge-for-hire jobs.
381
00:19:10,758 --> 00:19:12,020
These the open jobs?
382
00:19:12,020 --> 00:19:14,892
- Japan, Belgium...
- A few dozen countries.
383
00:19:14,892 --> 00:19:16,285
What's with the swords?
384
00:19:16,285 --> 00:19:18,983
Katanas,
the neckbeard weapon of choice.
385
00:19:18,983 --> 00:19:20,333
Neckbeard?
386
00:19:20,333 --> 00:19:22,335
Kinda guy who lurks
on Reddit all day,
387
00:19:22,335 --> 00:19:25,251
fingers coated in a
faint patina of Cheeto dust.
388
00:19:25,251 --> 00:19:27,644
Okay, so we're not looking
at an international ring
389
00:19:27,644 --> 00:19:28,819
of techno-jihadists?
390
00:19:28,819 --> 00:19:31,213
My guess,
based on the umlaut alone,
391
00:19:31,213 --> 00:19:33,172
the guy's a total chode.
392
00:19:33,172 --> 00:19:35,739
Katana with no blood
means a job's been taken,
393
00:19:35,739 --> 00:19:37,350
but not yet completed.
394
00:19:37,350 --> 00:19:41,615
So when there is blood,
let me guess.
395
00:19:44,183 --> 00:19:46,228
Population of Kyoto
just dropped by one.
396
00:19:46,228 --> 00:19:48,143
This is bigger than us.
397
00:19:48,143 --> 00:19:50,667
The feds are gonna have to
handle the rest of the country.
398
00:19:50,667 --> 00:19:51,973
And overseas?
399
00:19:51,973 --> 00:19:54,367
Interpol. Used to deal
with them a lot in Vice.
400
00:19:54,367 --> 00:19:55,977
There's an agent
I worked pretty closely with
401
00:19:55,977 --> 00:19:57,935
on my old DEA task force.
402
00:19:57,935 --> 00:19:59,154
- Make a call.
- All right.
403
00:20:00,286 --> 00:20:02,853
Someone just took
a job nearby.
404
00:20:02,853 --> 00:20:04,333
Throgs Neck.
405
00:20:04,333 --> 00:20:06,205
After someone's
accepted a job,
406
00:20:06,205 --> 00:20:08,163
what's the
window of opportunity
407
00:20:08,163 --> 00:20:09,382
to have that completed?
408
00:20:09,382 --> 00:20:11,688
Timer starts at 24 hours,
then ticks down.
409
00:20:11,688 --> 00:20:13,864
I'm assuming bad things
happen when it gets to zero.
410
00:20:13,864 --> 00:20:15,214
If it's not completed,
411
00:20:15,214 --> 00:20:17,390
it just keeps getting re-listed
until it is.
412
00:20:17,390 --> 00:20:18,782
Well, you and me--
let's go to the Bronx
413
00:20:18,782 --> 00:20:21,829
and, uh, get there before
whoever accepted it does.
414
00:20:23,265 --> 00:20:25,702
Any way
to shut this thing down?
415
00:20:25,702 --> 00:20:27,356
It's decentralized,
416
00:20:27,356 --> 00:20:29,880
bouncing off
multiple computers.
417
00:20:29,880 --> 00:20:32,883
Whoever designed it is trying
really hard to stay anonymous.
418
00:20:32,883 --> 00:20:34,363
So how do we find him?
419
00:20:34,363 --> 00:20:36,409
Well, a name would help.
420
00:20:36,409 --> 00:20:38,846
And there's nothing
associated with the site?
421
00:20:38,846 --> 00:20:40,369
No.
422
00:20:45,331 --> 00:20:48,421
But those selfies
Benson mentioned,
423
00:20:48,421 --> 00:20:50,336
they gotta be emailed somewhere.
424
00:20:59,562 --> 00:21:00,694
What's the matter?
Coffee's no good?
425
00:21:00,694 --> 00:21:02,957
Tastes like
Chock Full O' Nuts.
426
00:21:02,957 --> 00:21:04,567
Then why'd you bring us here?
427
00:21:04,567 --> 00:21:08,745
I always just cover it
with sugar anyway.
428
00:21:08,745 --> 00:21:12,967
Look, Mr. Longo,
someone put a hit out on you.
429
00:21:12,967 --> 00:21:14,751
Any ideas?
430
00:21:16,927 --> 00:21:19,756
I got three ex-wives.
431
00:21:19,756 --> 00:21:24,370
Okay. You want
to narrow that down for us?
432
00:21:24,370 --> 00:21:27,764
Why does the NYPD care about
a hit on a guy like me?
433
00:21:27,764 --> 00:21:30,332
Shouldn't you be out
making quality-of-life collars
434
00:21:30,332 --> 00:21:32,552
like every other hump
with a badge in this city?
435
00:21:32,552 --> 00:21:34,293
We're glad you hold us
in such high regard.
436
00:21:34,293 --> 00:21:35,555
We're Organized Crime.
437
00:21:35,555 --> 00:21:37,208
We think the hit is part
of something larger.
438
00:21:37,208 --> 00:21:38,514
An online thing.
439
00:21:38,514 --> 00:21:40,429
What, you mean like
Facebook or something?
440
00:21:40,429 --> 00:21:42,736
You ever hear of Shadowerk?
441
00:21:42,736 --> 00:21:45,304
It's a website where
people get paid for, uh,
442
00:21:45,304 --> 00:21:47,218
freelance hits.
443
00:21:47,218 --> 00:21:49,786
That's stupid.
444
00:21:49,786 --> 00:21:51,310
When I was coming up,
445
00:21:51,310 --> 00:21:53,442
about 40 years ago,
446
00:21:53,442 --> 00:21:55,923
we did hits
the old-fashioned way.
447
00:21:57,664 --> 00:22:00,188
- That a confession?
- I'm kidding.
448
00:22:00,188 --> 00:22:01,885
Are you gonna cooperate
with us or not?
449
00:22:01,885 --> 00:22:03,539
Yeah, 'cause we need to catch
whoever's coming to kill you.
450
00:22:03,539 --> 00:22:05,759
So you can flip him and find
out who's paying him and why.
451
00:22:05,759 --> 00:22:07,717
More or less.
452
00:22:07,717 --> 00:22:11,939
Well, how much
are you gonna pay me?
453
00:22:11,939 --> 00:22:15,595
What do you mean, pay you?
We're trying to save your life.
454
00:22:17,379 --> 00:22:20,121
Can you believe this guy?
- No.
455
00:22:20,121 --> 00:22:22,384
All right, we tried.
456
00:22:22,384 --> 00:22:24,038
No!
Come on, come on, guys.
457
00:22:24,038 --> 00:22:25,518
Sit down, come on, relax.
458
00:22:25,518 --> 00:22:28,259
Take it easy.
I'll help you out.
459
00:22:28,259 --> 00:22:30,261
Relax.
460
00:22:30,261 --> 00:22:32,046
You'll help us?
461
00:22:32,046 --> 00:22:34,222
What do you want me to do?
462
00:22:38,792 --> 00:22:40,968
Got a clear view
of Longo's front door.
463
00:22:40,968 --> 00:22:43,362
Any other entry points?
464
00:22:43,362 --> 00:22:45,364
Just the window,
but it's a long way down.
465
00:22:45,364 --> 00:22:47,844
All right.
Nothing at the door. All clear.
466
00:22:47,844 --> 00:22:49,106
Yo!
467
00:22:49,106 --> 00:22:50,673
You crazy.
Who you talking to?
468
00:22:50,673 --> 00:22:53,720
Vladimir Putin.
He lives right here.
469
00:22:53,720 --> 00:22:55,286
You hear him?
470
00:22:55,286 --> 00:22:58,289
Here. It's good.
My mom just made it.
471
00:22:58,289 --> 00:23:02,250
Oh, man.
That's really sweet.
472
00:23:02,250 --> 00:23:03,860
Hey.
473
00:23:09,213 --> 00:23:10,389
Mm.
474
00:23:13,696 --> 00:23:15,045
How you holding up, Gary?
475
00:23:15,045 --> 00:23:17,439
I lost money
on the Wood Memorial Stakes
476
00:23:17,439 --> 00:23:20,224
out at Aqueduct,
but I'm all right.
477
00:23:22,009 --> 00:23:24,620
Yo, Reyes,
what's up with all the chewing?
478
00:23:24,620 --> 00:23:26,405
Some kid gave me a sandwich.
479
00:23:36,371 --> 00:23:37,938
We got a Core Global guy
480
00:23:37,938 --> 00:23:40,462
pulling into the front
of the building.
481
00:23:53,649 --> 00:23:55,129
Shaky.
482
00:23:55,129 --> 00:23:56,652
Yeah, I'd be shaky, too,
483
00:23:56,652 --> 00:23:59,438
if I was delivering packages
in this neighborhood.
484
00:23:59,438 --> 00:24:00,917
It was a deal.
485
00:24:00,917 --> 00:24:03,137
I bet.
486
00:24:03,137 --> 00:24:05,922
That's him. What should I do?
487
00:24:05,922 --> 00:24:07,358
You expecting anything?
488
00:24:07,358 --> 00:24:08,969
Other than
a non-negligible part
489
00:24:08,969 --> 00:24:11,580
of my self-esteem
wrapped up in how much
490
00:24:11,580 --> 00:24:14,365
this scumbag is getting paid
to kill me, no.
491
00:24:14,365 --> 00:24:18,674
Well, I hate to break it
to you, but it's only 2 grand.
492
00:24:18,674 --> 00:24:21,285
Jesus Christ!
That's it?
493
00:24:21,285 --> 00:24:22,591
Just buzz him in.
494
00:24:22,591 --> 00:24:24,811
All right,
everybody get ready to move in.
495
00:25:21,998 --> 00:25:23,652
Core Global!
496
00:25:23,652 --> 00:25:25,349
I'll sign for it.
497
00:25:25,349 --> 00:25:29,789
You must be delivering
that SIG Sauer P229 I ordered.
498
00:25:29,789 --> 00:25:32,661
Hey. Police.
Don't move. NYPD.
499
00:25:32,661 --> 00:25:34,010
Leave it on the ground now.
500
00:25:34,010 --> 00:25:36,186
Before you end up there too.
Come on.
501
00:25:43,367 --> 00:25:45,631
Do you think
I can make a call?
502
00:25:47,807 --> 00:25:51,245
Where am I going?
- Relax.
503
00:26:02,952 --> 00:26:06,695
2 grand? You were planning
to end me for 2 grand?
504
00:26:06,695 --> 00:26:08,871
What cheap son of a bitch
sent you?
505
00:26:08,871 --> 00:26:13,876
Back off, back off.
Relax, relax.
506
00:26:13,876 --> 00:26:15,748
Son...
507
00:26:15,748 --> 00:26:18,228
What's your name?
508
00:26:18,228 --> 00:26:19,578
Josh.
509
00:26:19,578 --> 00:26:21,536
Josh, you have no future
in this business.
510
00:26:21,536 --> 00:26:25,540
But you can change...
511
00:26:25,540 --> 00:26:27,237
what is about to happen to you.
512
00:26:36,943 --> 00:26:39,293
How long am I gonna be here?
513
00:26:39,293 --> 00:26:41,338
It's attempted murder, Josh,
not the express checkout line.
514
00:26:41,338 --> 00:26:44,341
I wasn't even gonna do it.
I wasn't, I wasn't!
515
00:26:44,341 --> 00:26:45,821
Mm-hmm.
516
00:26:45,821 --> 00:26:47,954
So why'd you sign up
for the job?
517
00:26:47,954 --> 00:26:50,173
I-I needed the money.
518
00:26:50,173 --> 00:26:52,175
The ad said he kept
a bunch of cash in the house.
519
00:26:52,175 --> 00:26:54,003
So you were just gonna
rob the guy?
520
00:26:54,003 --> 00:26:57,137
What'd you need
that much cash for?
521
00:26:57,137 --> 00:26:59,530
- I'm saving up.
- Right. For what?
522
00:27:01,750 --> 00:27:04,100
An engagement ring.
523
00:27:06,537 --> 00:27:11,107
Well, Josh, we might be able
to cut you a deal.
524
00:27:13,675 --> 00:27:16,852
I'm listening.
525
00:27:16,852 --> 00:27:19,028
You got the hit
through Shadowerk.
526
00:27:19,028 --> 00:27:20,508
So you were supposed
to take a selfie
527
00:27:20,508 --> 00:27:22,553
over the victim's body, correct?
528
00:27:22,553 --> 00:27:25,556
I told you I wasn't gonna
kill the guy. I wasn't!
529
00:27:25,556 --> 00:27:29,386
We know what you told us,
but we want you to help us.
530
00:27:29,386 --> 00:27:33,869
So you were gonna
send that selfie to?
531
00:27:33,869 --> 00:27:37,830
No Bitcoin without proof, right?
532
00:27:42,704 --> 00:27:48,275
Everything goes through this
guy named Hyakunin Giri.
533
00:27:48,275 --> 00:27:51,495
Japanese guy associated
with a German site?
534
00:27:51,495 --> 00:27:53,497
Yeah. I guess.
535
00:27:55,369 --> 00:27:58,589
Sarge, his mother's here.
536
00:28:04,639 --> 00:28:06,989
Jail must be looking pretty
good for you right about now.
537
00:28:10,340 --> 00:28:12,821
See what you can find
on this email account.
538
00:28:12,821 --> 00:28:16,042
Some guy named Hyakunin Giri.
539
00:28:20,524 --> 00:28:23,092
Where is Josh?
Can I see him?
540
00:28:23,092 --> 00:28:25,399
Ms. Crocklin,
541
00:28:25,399 --> 00:28:30,839
we apprehended your son in the
middle of an attempted murder.
542
00:28:30,839 --> 00:28:32,754
What are you talking about?
543
00:28:32,754 --> 00:28:34,538
My Josh is just a kid.
544
00:28:34,538 --> 00:28:37,324
He's 27.
545
00:28:39,239 --> 00:28:42,155
Do you recognize this?
546
00:28:42,155 --> 00:28:44,200
- Looks familiar.
- Well, it should.
547
00:28:44,200 --> 00:28:47,900
Because it's registered to you.
548
00:28:47,900 --> 00:28:50,293
Josh can't remember to
put his clothes in the hamper,
549
00:28:50,293 --> 00:28:51,773
and you're telling me that
550
00:28:51,773 --> 00:28:54,210
he stole the gun that
I use for home protection
551
00:28:54,210 --> 00:28:57,300
and was going to use it
in some sort of murder?
552
00:28:57,300 --> 00:29:00,173
There's a website he found
553
00:29:00,173 --> 00:29:02,175
that can explain
some of his behavior.
554
00:29:04,525 --> 00:29:07,267
Look,
Josh doesn't have a record.
555
00:29:07,267 --> 00:29:10,487
He's been very cooperative,
so if he keeps it up,
556
00:29:10,487 --> 00:29:13,142
we might be able to make
some kind of deal.
557
00:29:16,711 --> 00:29:19,105
What do you need?
558
00:29:19,105 --> 00:29:21,368
His computer.
559
00:29:22,630 --> 00:29:25,241
All right, cool.
560
00:29:25,241 --> 00:29:26,590
Wait. We're done here?
561
00:29:26,590 --> 00:29:30,290
- Yeah. Yeah, we're good.
- What? What, that's it?
562
00:29:30,290 --> 00:29:32,509
You guys are leaving?
- Yeah.
563
00:29:32,509 --> 00:29:35,817
You'll be fine. Relax.
- Yeah?
564
00:29:35,817 --> 00:29:37,993
Is that what you say to all
your attempted murder victims?
565
00:29:37,993 --> 00:29:39,212
Look, after this photo,
566
00:29:39,212 --> 00:29:40,822
you'll be marked dead
on the site.
567
00:29:40,822 --> 00:29:42,084
Look.
568
00:29:42,084 --> 00:29:43,346
Can't you guys put me
569
00:29:43,346 --> 00:29:44,783
in witness protection
or something?
570
00:29:44,783 --> 00:29:47,698
Look, Gary, like I said,
the guy's in custody.
571
00:29:47,698 --> 00:29:49,526
You're no longer a target, okay?
572
00:29:49,526 --> 00:29:51,180
None of this rises to the level
of WITSEC.
573
00:29:51,180 --> 00:29:53,704
Yeah, but my address
is already out there.
574
00:29:53,704 --> 00:29:55,924
Every scumbag with Wi-Fi
is gonna come looking
575
00:29:55,924 --> 00:29:58,361
for the money I got stashed
under my mattress.
576
00:29:58,361 --> 00:30:00,537
Have you ever thought
about retiring?
577
00:30:00,537 --> 00:30:03,540
- Where?
- You got family out of town?
578
00:30:03,540 --> 00:30:06,021
My sister in Fort Lauderdale.
579
00:30:06,021 --> 00:30:07,849
Attaboy.
580
00:30:07,849 --> 00:30:10,069
There we go. All right?
581
00:30:10,069 --> 00:30:11,548
Pack up.
582
00:30:11,548 --> 00:30:13,246
We'll drive you to the airport.
583
00:30:20,209 --> 00:30:21,558
We're closing in on the guy,
584
00:30:21,558 --> 00:30:23,386
and obviously,
I'll keep you up-to-date on it.
585
00:30:23,386 --> 00:30:25,475
Yeah.
Look, hold on.
586
00:30:25,475 --> 00:30:27,390
So Captain Benson
has just informed me
587
00:30:27,390 --> 00:30:29,479
they arrested four individuals
588
00:30:29,479 --> 00:30:32,308
who ordered the rape
of their exes on the site.
589
00:30:32,308 --> 00:30:33,788
- That's great.
- Yeah.
590
00:30:33,788 --> 00:30:37,879
It's official.
Reyes is a paid killer.
591
00:30:37,879 --> 00:30:40,577
One just popped up in Sydney.
592
00:30:40,577 --> 00:30:42,797
Nothing normalizes
violent crimes
593
00:30:42,797 --> 00:30:44,581
like a good user interface.
594
00:30:44,581 --> 00:30:47,454
Well, according to Reyes'
contact at Interpol,
595
00:30:47,454 --> 00:30:50,413
the cops at Antwerp
intercepted that hit in Belgium
596
00:30:50,413 --> 00:30:53,460
that we came across.
- This is good news.
597
00:30:53,460 --> 00:30:55,549
And where the hell
have you two been?
598
00:30:55,549 --> 00:30:57,072
Whelan and I
just put Gary Longo
599
00:30:57,072 --> 00:30:58,552
on a flight to Florida.
600
00:30:58,552 --> 00:31:00,815
Mm.
Fate worse than death.
601
00:31:00,815 --> 00:31:02,643
You get anything
on that Core Global kid?
602
00:31:02,643 --> 00:31:04,775
- Yeah, his computer.
- And we got the email address
603
00:31:04,775 --> 00:31:06,734
of the guy we sent
that fake selfie to.
604
00:31:06,734 --> 00:31:08,170
Who is he?
605
00:31:08,170 --> 00:31:11,086
Name's Hyakunin Giri.
And we got his IP address.
606
00:31:11,086 --> 00:31:14,220
Server's located
in Dublin, Ohio.
607
00:31:14,220 --> 00:31:15,569
It's like you said, though.
608
00:31:15,569 --> 00:31:17,440
The guy's site
is decentralized,
609
00:31:17,440 --> 00:31:19,573
so it's bouncing
from multiple computers.
610
00:31:19,573 --> 00:31:20,661
Well, the real question is,
611
00:31:20,661 --> 00:31:22,837
is he physically
in Dublin, Ohio?
612
00:31:22,837 --> 00:31:24,273
Only one way to tell.
613
00:31:24,273 --> 00:31:26,232
Get a court order to surveil
the physical address.
614
00:31:26,232 --> 00:31:28,712
- In Ohio?
- Out of our jurisdiction.
615
00:31:28,712 --> 00:31:30,018
But it's not
out of McCrary's.
616
00:31:30,018 --> 00:31:31,541
Yeah, and he does owe us.
617
00:31:31,541 --> 00:31:33,630
We got Uncle Sam's
$2 million back.
618
00:31:33,630 --> 00:31:36,982
- It's a good place to start.
- Yeah. All right.
619
00:31:36,982 --> 00:31:38,374
Oh!
620
00:31:38,374 --> 00:31:40,942
Reyes' fake hit registered.
621
00:31:45,904 --> 00:31:49,255
And 2 grand just hit
Josh Conklin's crypto account,
622
00:31:49,255 --> 00:31:51,257
along with a gif.
623
00:31:51,257 --> 00:31:52,519
Guess he's not
just some neckbeard
624
00:31:52,519 --> 00:31:54,129
trying to make a few bucks.
625
00:31:54,129 --> 00:31:58,090
No, he's a psychopath that
wants to watch the world burn.
626
00:32:04,139 --> 00:32:06,881
Alamut Castle,
a mountain fortress
627
00:32:06,881 --> 00:32:09,710
located in what is
present-day Iran.
628
00:32:09,710 --> 00:32:12,191
It's legendary for its gardens,
629
00:32:12,191 --> 00:32:13,714
but also known as
630
00:32:13,714 --> 00:32:16,760
the fabled birthplace
for modern terrorism.
631
00:32:16,760 --> 00:32:20,677
Does anyone know
what "Alamut" means?
632
00:32:20,677 --> 00:32:23,811
- Yeah?
- "Eagle's nest." In Farsi.
633
00:32:23,811 --> 00:32:27,075
Also known as
the Nest of Punishment.
634
00:32:27,075 --> 00:32:29,077
But, uh,
this isn't about birds.
635
00:32:29,077 --> 00:32:33,255
This is about one man's
very dangerous idea.
636
00:32:33,255 --> 00:32:38,043
Hasan-e Sabbah, the man
that owned Alamut Castle,
637
00:32:38,043 --> 00:32:42,003
also invented
modern-day assassin.
638
00:32:42,003 --> 00:32:44,963
So his legend goes
he would go into the village,
639
00:32:44,963 --> 00:32:48,444
recruit young men,
invite them back to dinner,
640
00:32:48,444 --> 00:32:50,055
and have them drugged.
641
00:32:50,055 --> 00:32:51,926
And they would wake up
in his lush gardens
642
00:32:51,926 --> 00:32:55,843
with fountains filled
with wine and nude maidens--
643
00:32:55,843 --> 00:32:57,236
72 nude maidens--
644
00:32:57,236 --> 00:33:00,369
Sounds like paradise to me. Okay.
645
00:33:00,369 --> 00:33:01,980
Yeah, well, the men believed
they had died
646
00:33:01,980 --> 00:33:04,156
and gone to paradise.
647
00:33:04,156 --> 00:33:06,114
After living like that
for a few weeks,
648
00:33:06,114 --> 00:33:08,116
Sabbah would have them drugged
once again
649
00:33:08,116 --> 00:33:10,118
and they would wake up
at his table,
650
00:33:10,118 --> 00:33:13,252
rudely yanked back
into normal life.
651
00:33:13,252 --> 00:33:17,473
And then he would offer them
a way back to paradise.
652
00:33:17,473 --> 00:33:19,562
Um, is anyone...
653
00:33:19,562 --> 00:33:21,129
anyone able to articulate why
654
00:33:21,129 --> 00:33:24,654
this was such
an effective method of warfare?
655
00:33:33,141 --> 00:33:34,186
Yeah, sir?
656
00:33:34,186 --> 00:33:35,970
Well, if you can
convince someone
657
00:33:35,970 --> 00:33:39,495
that their death has more value
than their life...
658
00:33:39,495 --> 00:33:40,844
Go on.
659
00:33:40,844 --> 00:33:43,369
You create
a very dangerous individual.
660
00:33:46,285 --> 00:33:48,374
Well, first of all, congratulations.
661
00:33:48,374 --> 00:33:50,767
Happily married and three kids, huh?
662
00:33:50,767 --> 00:33:52,987
Did not think
that was on my bingo card.
663
00:33:52,987 --> 00:33:55,598
Yeah, well, I'm happy.
664
00:33:55,598 --> 00:33:58,166
For you and for Carisi.
665
00:33:58,166 --> 00:34:00,081
Does Liv know?
666
00:34:00,081 --> 00:34:03,128
Word on the street is Carisi
couldn't keep his mouth shut.
667
00:34:03,128 --> 00:34:06,783
So she left me a message, but...
668
00:34:06,783 --> 00:34:09,090
- So you owe her a call?
- Yeah.
669
00:34:09,090 --> 00:34:13,355
Um, how can I help you?
670
00:34:13,355 --> 00:34:16,706
Well, we're tracking
someone who has started
671
00:34:16,706 --> 00:34:21,146
a revenge-for-hire factory online.
672
00:34:21,146 --> 00:34:23,887
- I'm intrigued.
- You need a Tor browser.
673
00:34:23,887 --> 00:34:25,367
And it's a--
674
00:34:25,367 --> 00:34:30,329
a site that posts
murders and rapes-for-hire.
675
00:34:30,329 --> 00:34:32,461
They upload
the vic's information
676
00:34:32,461 --> 00:34:34,898
and whoever wants it,
677
00:34:34,898 --> 00:34:37,292
they got 24 hours
to complete the job.
678
00:34:37,292 --> 00:34:38,859
Then what?
679
00:34:38,859 --> 00:34:40,469
They take a selfie for proof
680
00:34:40,469 --> 00:34:42,993
that it has, in fact,
been completed,
681
00:34:42,993 --> 00:34:44,734
they hash it
so it remains anonymous,
682
00:34:44,734 --> 00:34:46,127
and get paid in crypto.
683
00:34:46,127 --> 00:34:47,476
And you can't
take down the site
684
00:34:47,476 --> 00:34:48,912
until you know who built it.
685
00:34:48,912 --> 00:34:52,177
We have a name.
Hyakunin Giri.
686
00:34:52,177 --> 00:34:53,917
- Uh--
- Yeah, I googled it.
687
00:34:53,917 --> 00:34:55,397
The Japanese competition.
688
00:34:55,397 --> 00:34:57,138
Right,
where the goal of the contest
689
00:34:57,138 --> 00:35:00,620
is to see who can kill
100 people with one sword.
690
00:35:00,620 --> 00:35:03,318
I did a lecture on that, too.
691
00:35:03,318 --> 00:35:05,146
We have an address.
Dublin, Ohio.
692
00:35:05,146 --> 00:35:06,495
And you want to know
who lives there?
693
00:35:06,495 --> 00:35:08,758
I feel as though
it's a lot like the, uh,
694
00:35:08,758 --> 00:35:11,674
the mindset of that Sabbah guy
that you were discussing.
695
00:35:11,674 --> 00:35:14,024
- Hmm.
- Weaponizing individuals.
696
00:35:14,024 --> 00:35:16,244
Turning strangers,
even people without
697
00:35:16,244 --> 00:35:19,160
any kind of criminal background
into murderers and rapists.
698
00:35:19,160 --> 00:35:20,683
Right.
Well, there's a thrill there.
699
00:35:20,683 --> 00:35:21,945
- Mm-hmm?
- It's someone who feels
700
00:35:21,945 --> 00:35:23,164
completely powerless
in his own life.
701
00:35:23,164 --> 00:35:24,426
He's looking to create chaos
702
00:35:24,426 --> 00:35:29,039
like a toddler knocking down
a block castle.
703
00:35:29,039 --> 00:35:31,433
Yeah, they get to feel
in control.
704
00:35:31,433 --> 00:35:33,783
Mm.
705
00:35:35,959 --> 00:35:38,092
I gotta tell you,
706
00:35:38,092 --> 00:35:39,441
you looked
way more excited here
707
00:35:39,441 --> 00:35:41,487
than you did
in that lecture hall.
708
00:35:43,924 --> 00:35:46,361
How long have you been bored?
709
00:35:46,361 --> 00:35:48,189
- The truth?
- Well, you could lie to me,
710
00:35:48,189 --> 00:35:51,932
but I do interrogate people
for a living.
711
00:35:51,932 --> 00:35:53,368
I love the students,
712
00:35:53,368 --> 00:35:56,763
but I do miss the feeling
of solving a good mystery.
713
00:35:56,763 --> 00:35:58,417
Carisi know?
714
00:35:58,417 --> 00:36:01,985
That I'm bored?
715
00:36:01,985 --> 00:36:04,423
I mean--
716
00:36:04,423 --> 00:36:05,989
No, it'd break his heart.
717
00:36:05,989 --> 00:36:08,688
He's the one
that got me the job.
718
00:36:08,688 --> 00:36:10,951
How 'bout Liv?
719
00:36:10,951 --> 00:36:12,300
You, of all people,
720
00:36:12,300 --> 00:36:15,129
should know how she reacts
when people leave her.
721
00:36:15,129 --> 00:36:16,522
I see your quandary.
722
00:36:16,522 --> 00:36:18,654
Well, hell,
I've lived your quandary.
723
00:36:20,526 --> 00:36:22,789
Well, I think you and I
can help each other.
724
00:36:22,789 --> 00:36:24,225
How's that?
725
00:36:24,225 --> 00:36:25,661
I bring a little bit
more mystery into your life.
726
00:36:25,661 --> 00:36:27,576
And, uh,
727
00:36:27,576 --> 00:36:31,798
you work up a psych profile
on this Hyakunin Giri.
728
00:36:34,801 --> 00:36:38,326
All right.
729
00:36:38,326 --> 00:36:39,588
Jet?
730
00:36:39,588 --> 00:36:41,982
That fed McCrary is here,
and he's pissed.
731
00:36:41,982 --> 00:36:44,289
Well, okay.
You want to tell me why?
732
00:36:44,289 --> 00:36:45,594
There's a new hit
on the site.
733
00:36:45,594 --> 00:36:48,162
I just sent you the info.
734
00:36:52,035 --> 00:36:54,168
Barbara Zeigler.
Federal judge?
735
00:36:54,168 --> 00:36:56,170
Not just any judge.
She's a personal friend.
736
00:36:56,170 --> 00:36:57,432
Explains how you got
737
00:36:57,432 --> 00:36:59,217
the electronic surveillance
warrant so fast.
738
00:36:59,217 --> 00:37:01,044
Now I can't
get a hold of her.
739
00:37:01,044 --> 00:37:02,263
The unfortunate part
of all this
740
00:37:02,263 --> 00:37:04,309
is that now, some guy
in Dublin, Ohio
741
00:37:04,309 --> 00:37:05,875
knows we're monitoring him.
742
00:37:05,875 --> 00:37:07,312
Now he's monitoring us.
743
00:37:07,312 --> 00:37:08,704
Can't say I didn't warn you.
744
00:37:08,704 --> 00:37:11,272
You were worried about
the NYPD booking services,
745
00:37:11,272 --> 00:37:13,100
not federal warrant systems.
746
00:37:13,100 --> 00:37:14,928
Judge Zeigler's office, please.
747
00:37:14,928 --> 00:37:17,017
Got Unis on the way
to her house now.
748
00:37:17,017 --> 00:37:18,801
Any response
from Zeigler herself?
749
00:37:18,801 --> 00:37:19,976
No.
She's not picking up.
750
00:37:19,976 --> 00:37:21,326
Her clerk says
she stopped for lunch,
751
00:37:21,326 --> 00:37:23,066
but the restaurant says
she's not there, either.
752
00:37:23,066 --> 00:37:24,590
Five Bitcoin.
What's that worth right now?
753
00:37:24,590 --> 00:37:27,419
- About $130,000.
- That's a big incentive.
754
00:37:27,419 --> 00:37:29,421
Yeah, we gotta
get to her first.
755
00:37:29,421 --> 00:37:31,118
You two,
call the local precinct.
756
00:37:31,118 --> 00:37:32,206
Try to get them
to trace the route
757
00:37:32,206 --> 00:37:34,817
from that restaurant to home.
758
00:37:42,172 --> 00:37:45,088
Tragedy struck just moments
ago in downtown Manhattan
759
00:37:45,088 --> 00:37:47,569
when a federal judge
was shot and killed
760
00:37:47,569 --> 00:37:50,311
while driving in her car.
The police have not...
761
00:37:50,311 --> 00:37:52,922
Another quasi-civilized
person-turned-murderer?
762
00:37:52,922 --> 00:37:54,402
For all we know,
763
00:37:54,402 --> 00:37:56,752
the mastermind who may
or may not be in Dublin
764
00:37:56,752 --> 00:37:58,537
likely ordered the hit.
765
00:37:58,537 --> 00:38:00,887
Well, he just took it
to another level with Zeigler.
766
00:38:00,887 --> 00:38:02,062
It's personal.
767
00:38:02,062 --> 00:38:04,760
El, Ayanna.
768
00:38:04,760 --> 00:38:06,414
The judge is dead?
769
00:38:06,414 --> 00:38:09,199
Yeah. She was
McCrary's personal friend.
770
00:38:09,199 --> 00:38:10,375
So I'ma go check on him.
771
00:38:10,375 --> 00:38:11,506
I'll link up
with you guys later.
772
00:38:11,506 --> 00:38:13,029
Okay.
773
00:38:13,029 --> 00:38:14,335
Why?
774
00:38:14,335 --> 00:38:16,032
Well, we think
it's a paid hit in response
775
00:38:16,032 --> 00:38:19,079
to an electronic surveillance
warrant that she issued for us.
776
00:38:19,079 --> 00:38:20,298
This guy's
looking for somebody
777
00:38:20,298 --> 00:38:21,951
to rise to this challenge.
778
00:38:21,951 --> 00:38:22,996
Well, challenge accepted.
779
00:38:22,996 --> 00:38:24,432
Jet has an IP address
780
00:38:24,432 --> 00:38:26,913
out of an escrow office
in Dublin, Ohio.
781
00:38:26,913 --> 00:38:29,002
We're waiting on a warrant
for physical surveillance.
782
00:38:29,002 --> 00:38:30,612
Okay, good.
So we're slow-playing it.
783
00:38:30,612 --> 00:38:32,353
Mm-hmm.
784
00:38:32,353 --> 00:38:35,182
If we're hasty,
he just gets a Tor address,
785
00:38:35,182 --> 00:38:36,966
he sets up his operation
somewhere else,
786
00:38:36,966 --> 00:38:38,403
and we're back to square one.
787
00:38:38,403 --> 00:38:40,361
- Ugh, Ohio.
- Yeah.
788
00:38:40,361 --> 00:38:42,189
Feds are gonna have
to run point on that.
789
00:38:42,189 --> 00:38:44,452
That would be McCrary,
and Bell would be with him.
790
00:38:44,452 --> 00:38:46,367
All right. What about
international crimes?
791
00:38:46,367 --> 00:38:49,370
Interpol through a contact
that Reyes has.
792
00:38:49,370 --> 00:38:52,330
Well, if they need
any resources or need space,
793
00:38:52,330 --> 00:38:54,157
let 'em know
they can set up shop with us.
794
00:38:54,157 --> 00:38:55,376
Yeah,
and there's someone else
795
00:38:55,376 --> 00:38:57,857
I'd like to involve
in the case.
796
00:38:57,857 --> 00:39:00,468
With your blessing,
I think she'd be an asset.
797
00:39:00,468 --> 00:39:02,470
- What acronym?
- There is none.
798
00:39:02,470 --> 00:39:03,863
She's out of
the private sector.
799
00:39:03,863 --> 00:39:05,386
Okay.
Who is it?
800
00:39:05,386 --> 00:39:08,389
Hey, uh, sorry to interrupt.
801
00:39:08,389 --> 00:39:09,695
Amanda?
802
00:39:09,695 --> 00:39:12,132
Hey. I-I can wait.
I'm just double parked.
803
00:39:12,132 --> 00:39:15,962
Well, congratulations,
by the way.
804
00:39:15,962 --> 00:39:17,180
- Surprise.
- Not really.
805
00:39:17,180 --> 00:39:18,921
Carisi can't keep a secret.
806
00:39:18,921 --> 00:39:20,358
Yeah, he's a great lawyer,
not a great witness.
807
00:39:20,358 --> 00:39:22,011
No.
He breaks under pressure.
808
00:39:22,011 --> 00:39:24,187
Yeah.
809
00:39:26,799 --> 00:39:30,542
I've been meaning to call you.
810
00:39:30,542 --> 00:39:33,283
So I had Rollins, uh,
work up a psych profile
811
00:39:33,283 --> 00:39:34,981
of the guy we're after.
812
00:39:34,981 --> 00:39:37,200
Okay.
Surprises all around.
813
00:39:37,200 --> 00:39:38,593
Get down to business?
814
00:39:38,593 --> 00:39:42,684
Yeah, so you're looking
for someone Caucasian,
815
00:39:42,684 --> 00:39:45,252
younger, mid-20s.
816
00:39:45,252 --> 00:39:47,428
He's disaffected, disenfranchised,
817
00:39:47,428 --> 00:39:50,692
antisocial,
highly intelligent,
818
00:39:50,692 --> 00:39:53,956
and from
a lower-middle class family.
819
00:39:53,956 --> 00:39:56,524
But he's more sophisticated
than the expectations
820
00:39:56,524 --> 00:39:58,439
put on him
from those around him,
821
00:39:58,439 --> 00:40:00,876
and he's frustrated
with that social circle.
822
00:40:00,876 --> 00:40:03,270
He'd be fine socially
with people older or younger,
823
00:40:03,270 --> 00:40:05,577
but as it is,
824
00:40:05,577 --> 00:40:07,230
he might be
entirely devoid of friends
825
00:40:07,230 --> 00:40:08,797
from his own peer group.
826
00:40:08,797 --> 00:40:11,496
Okay. Anything else?
827
00:40:11,496 --> 00:40:12,758
Well,
I think it's safe to say
828
00:40:12,758 --> 00:40:15,238
that he's got a fascination
with systems.
829
00:40:15,238 --> 00:40:18,067
And he sees
the whole world as one,
830
00:40:18,067 --> 00:40:19,460
and it's been cruel to him.
831
00:40:19,460 --> 00:40:21,244
He understands
the criminal pathology
832
00:40:21,244 --> 00:40:24,639
that's lurking within himself.
833
00:40:24,639 --> 00:40:26,380
The site is a call of the void
834
00:40:26,380 --> 00:40:28,295
for others who might
have similar thoughts,
835
00:40:28,295 --> 00:40:29,557
but are afraid to act on them.
836
00:40:29,557 --> 00:40:31,124
- In fear of being caught.
- Yeah.
837
00:40:31,124 --> 00:40:33,518
He's weaponized anonymity...
838
00:40:33,518 --> 00:40:36,869
and he'll do anything
to keep it.
839
00:40:36,869 --> 00:40:38,740
That's for sure.
840
00:40:45,007 --> 00:40:47,749
Any questions?
