- 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.

- Wow.

- Hey, give me a hand.

- Hey, man, I--I don't think

Jet's all
into the surprise stuff.

- She's gonna love it.

You remember when you made
second grade detective, right?

- Yeah, my wife
was eight months pregnant.

She made spaghetti, and we
fell asleep on the couch.

- Too low.

- Hey, what'd you do
when you made second?

- Got two beers
and a meatball hero

and went
to my father's gravesite.

You guys wanna scope out
your hiding places now

so we won't have to scramble
when she gets here?

- It's time for you
to have kids, bro.

- Thurman here?
- No.

- Sergeant.
- Hey.

You still coming?
You on your way?

- What, to Jet's
surprise thing?

Of course I'm coming.

- Okay, well,
we're about to start.

- I thought you said
it wasn't until 2:00.

- [sighs]
You didn't get my text?

- I've been on the phone
with the brass all morning.

What text?
- She's coming in early.

- Oh, hang on.

Stephen!

- [laughs] Hey.

- How's Mr. Class President?

- I'm still stumping for votes

since student council,
it seems.

You remember my wife, Jennifer.

- Ah, the brains
behind the campaign.

Of course.
- Mm-hmm.

- You--you ready to nail this?

- Oh, he was practicing
his speech all night.

- Because she kept
making changes.

- First impressions
are everything, am I right?

- Saying you're gonna be tough
on crime,

take down the gangs in
Chinatown--you have my vote.

- We should head down,
practice at the mics.

- Mm.
- See you down there?

- Yeah.
- Yeah.

- Hey, this thing
hasn't even started yet.

We're gonna
have to reschedule.

- She's coming.
- Okay.

I don't think we're gonna be
able to do that.

all: Surprise!
- Oh, my God!

- Hey, hey!
- Yeah!

- What is this?

- This is all for you,
Detective Second Grade.

Congratulations.

- Seriously?
- You earned it.

- Jet, look in the camera.

Come on.
- Put that away.

I'm not kidding.
- [chuckles]

- Thank you.

- Hey, Inspector Thurman
wants to say something to you.

Hey, you still there?

- Detective Slootmaekers,
DI Thurman.

Listen, I wanted
to be there in person

since I'm the one responsible
for making this happen.

But since I can't be,
let me say on behalf

of the entire department...

[gunshots, screaming]

- Thurman?

[tense music]

- Help!

- Thurman, what's going on?

- Get down here right now.

- I was in the green room
when I heard the shots.

Time I got to Lee and Jennifer,

the shooter was running out
through the kitchen.

- You gotta be familiar
with a place

to make that your exit.

- Bus just got Lee's wife
to the hospital.

She took two to the chest.

- How's he doing?

- Shaken, but he wasn't hit.

- I gotta get back to 1PP
to update the brass

and then stop by the hospital.

Look, these are my friends,
okay?

I'm depending on you.

- What's Lee's team saying?

- Nothing.
They're very hesitant to talk.

- I tried to speak
to the kitchen staff,

but no one was willing
to give a statement,

but I did do a headcount after
getting the employees list.

Looks like one, a Daniel Yao,
left right after the shooting.

- Zip on security footage.

- What does "zip" mean?
I see plenty of cameras.

- Owner told me straight up
he wouldn't cooperate.

Doesn't trust police.
- We can help with that.

- Detective Chang, 4th
Precinct, Community Affairs.

Sorry for the delay.

I'll try and get you
the security footage,

but I'm pretty sure
the cams are just dummies.

We worked a gang robbery case
here a month ago.

Anything to share
before we get started?

- Just that
this is our scene now.

Sergeant Bell, Organized Crime.

- Didn't Captain Lin
communicate with you?

Look, we're gonna fare
a lot better here.

So you guys wanna go get
some coffee or something?

- DI Thurman was here
when the shooting happened.

He called us in.

This is
an Organized Crime case.

- And this is Chinatown,
Sergeant.

Things work a little
differently down here.

I'll let you know what we find.

[tense music]

♪

- [speaking Cantonese]
- Hey, hey.

How the hell did you
get in here?

- Can you give us an update?
- Yeah.

Being a decent human being
is still something

to strive for in this world.

Get 'em out of here, will you?

Mr. Lee, I'm Detective Stabler.

- From the 4th Precinct?

- No.

- [speaking Cantonese]

- It's my mother-in-law.

- I'm very sorry for what
you're going through, ma'am.

How is she?

- She just got out of surgery.

They don't know yet.

[sighs]
It should have been me.

- Look, I know this is
a difficult time for you,

but I need to ask you
some questions.

- Yeah.
- Okay.

- Once I made the gangs
a target,

my office received
so many threats.

I never thought anything of it.

That's just to be
expected, right?

- Did you report any
of these threats?

- Captain Lin
at the 4th Precinct

was made well aware.

When I was growing up
in Chinatown, these gangs,

they exploited
hardworking people,

my family, Jennifer's family.

We all grew up terrified.

It's the reason we felt so
strongly about taking them on.

- What you said earlier--

you barely caught
a glimpse of the shooter?

Did he say anything?
- No.

- Do you remember
what he was wearing?

Because I have to be operating
under the assumption

that you're still
a target, right?

So I'm gonna assign you
a full-time security detail.

- No.
Jennifer would hate that.

She said our power comes
from our vulnerability,

that we can stand up
to these gangs without guns.

- I can guarantee you
they don't feel that way--

and neither do I.

- Well, frankly, I don't care
what you're feeling

right now, Detective.

[apprehensive music]

And you have no idea
what I'm going through.

- That's fair enough.

All I can tell you
is that I lost my wife

under similar circumstances.

So with all due respect,
how I feel

is exactly what you want right
now,

and more pointedly, my job

is to make sure
that you're safe.

- So much for keeping things
out of the press.

Stephen Lee is a front-runner.

I mean, he's got
his own community--

NYPD, most of the unions.

Maybe one of his opponents
went too far?

Put a hit out on him?

- Yeah, but Lee's
biggest opposition

isn't another politician.

It's the gangs of Chinatown.

- Chinatown has over 20 known
gangs in current operation,

each with a different racket.

Gambling, drug dealing,
and human trafficking.

- Probably 20 more
we don't even know about.

- Yeah, but the major players
are the Black Tiger Gang,

the Doyers Street Gang,
and Snakeheads.

Chinatown has
a closed community,

some would even say
impenetrable,

so this is gonna be tough.

- Where do we start?

- 4th Precinct's
been tracking the threats

to the Lee campaign.

- Okay, why don't you three
canvass the neighborhood,

try to find that kid
that fled the scene.

- You are police officers?

- Yeah.
We're looking for Daniel Yao.

He was working at the space
where Jennifer Lee was shot.

[suspenseful music]

Something I said?

- So Daniel was working
in the space

where the shooting took place.

- [speaking Cantonese]

- No, I don't need a bike.

I'm just looking
for a man named Daniel Yao.

- I think he lives around here.

No?

All right.

- Sarge, we are completely
striking out here.

And that interpreter
hasn't shown up yet.

- Yeah, I can check on that.

Meantime, I got
Daniel's last known,

so I'll forward it to you.

All right, see if you have
any luck with that.

Thanks.

- Case closed already?
- [chuckles]

- You know, the 4th Precinct

is the oldest station house
in the city?

Bit of history for you.

Back in the day, they moved
the front door a few feet over

to the right so an assassin
wouldn't have

a clear shot from the hallway.

I said, "They get this far,
they deserve a clear shot."

So you close my case?

- Like I told your
community liaison officer,

we're running point on this.

- Mr. Lee mentioned to me that
there had been threats made

against his campaign office.

Did you guys check those out?

- Stephen has had a target
on his back

since the day he threw his hat
in the ring for this race.

- Maybe someone wants
to make good on those threats.

- I'll talk to Detective Chang,

make sure she has
all the resources you need,

if you can do one thing for me.

Don't assume you know
how things work here.

- What are you doing?

- Google Translate.

Don't know why I didn't
think of that before.

We're looking for someone
named Daniel Yao.

Whoa.

Stop!

- Nope!

Hands on the wall.

I don't know anything.

- So?

right after?

And why'd you run
from my detective?

- You know what happens
to people who talk

to the police
in my neighborhood?

- Yeah, I do.

But do you know what happens
to people who don't talk

when they've witnessed
an attempted murder?

- There's a kid,
lives on my street, right?

He talked to the cops one time.

Next day, they gave him a box
with his mother's tongue in it.

- Who's "they"?

Give me a name,
and we'll protect you.

- No, you can't.

- Daniel.

You're already in here.

They're gonna assume
you talked.

As soon as you walk out
of here,

that's when I can't help you.

- The shooter's name is Yeung.

He's a member
of the Doyers Street Gang,

biggest gang in Chinatown.

- Pull up everything
we got on them.

- All right.

- I can save you some time
if you like.

- About the Doyers Street Gang?

- Sure, but more importantly,
about him.

He's lying.

♪

.

- So is this Captain Lin's
idea of an olive branch,

sending you here to tell us
that the kid

that ran from the crime scene,
that ran from us,

has nothing credible to say?

- No. This visit is all me.

Captain Lin has his methods,
and they're a bit old school,

but I don't work that way.

- So what makes you so sure
that Daniel's lying to us?

- Better if I show you.

The boy on the left is
Daniel Yao, your suspect.

He was 11 there.

And the other one is Yeung.

- The one Daniel said
is the gunman.

- They were regulars
at a basketball clinic

my wife and I started.

- They look pretty tight there.

- When the boys
got a little older,

Doyers Street Gang
recruited Yeung,

lured him with promises
of brotherhood and money.

Unfortunately for Daniel,
the gang

forced Yeung to cut old ties.

But I wasn't one of them.

Yeung is my CI.

And I was with him
at the time of the shooting.

- So Daniel accusing him--
what is that?

A beef between the two?

- That's more than beef.

- Is Daniel with a rival gang?

- I'd like to find out.

But you'd have
to cut him loose,

then track his movements.

- All right.

You guys go give him the good
news and keep an eye on him.

- See if there are
any outstandings

on the Doyers Street Gang.

- Detective, I think we got off
on the wrong foot.

- We all want
the same thing here.

- Basketball clinic?

- Yeah.

It was a way to keep the kids
off the streets,

my service to the community.

- Well,
that's quite a commitment.

clinic actually outlasted
my marriage.

doing that at a bank.

It must have been a cover.
- Ballistics.

Bullet that killed Mei Shen
matches the markings

on the bullet that
hit Jennifer Lee.

- Okay, so we have two women
gunned down,

one weapon, two gangs beefing,

and a global bank?

- I can try to pull together
a list of the bank's clients.

- To try and find a pattern.

[phone chimes]
Good idea.

Everything all right?

- It's a text from Captain Lin.

The 4th is making a move.

[tense music]

- Police! Don't move.
- Stay seated.

[patrons clamoring]

- Hands on the table!

- Police! Drop the weapon.

♪

- Thank you for the
stellar work, Captain Lin.

- We had an agreement.

You did not loop us in.

- Tip came in.

- Captain Lin called.
We had to act fast.

- We recovered the gun
from Yuze's office.

His prints are all over it.

Yuze's our shooter.

- Hey, we're all on the
same team here, remember?

This is a win for all of us.

- Don't worry.

Your squad can take
all the credit.

You brought Yuze in.
You have him in custody.

- There is one issue
with your victory lap.

We picked up Yuze 24 hours ago.

- Clearly, he paid a visit to
Mei before you picked him up.

- No. Body was warm.

Blood on the floor fresh.

He couldn't have shot Mei.

- Look, we got him.

It's done.

- So forget the details.
Just go for the win.

- Look, stick around
for the press conference.

I wanna give you guys
a special acknowledgment, yeah?

- Have you notified
Stephen Lee?

- His wife woke up today.

He's staying with her
at the hospital.

- You buying any of this?

- Not for a second.

- Chrysanthemums, my favorite.

In Chinese culture,
they symbolize

longevity and vitality.

- Words to live by.

- It's nice to finally
meet you, Ms. Lee.

- Jennifer, please.

And I can't thank you enough

for all that you've done
for us.

- Oh, no need for thanks.

We're just happy you're okay.

What's next for you two?

- We will find new ways
to serve our community.

My only focus right now
is getting her home.

- Honey, press conference.
- Oh, yes.

- Before it starts, we just
have a few questions for you,

if you don't mind.

- Regarding Mei Shen.

- What about Mei?

- I'm really sorry to tell you
this, but Mei was murdered.

- What?

What happened? When?

- During your recovery.

Now, I'm hoping you'll
be able to help us

figure out who's responsible.

[suspenseful music]

- Maybe this isn't a good time.

- No.

How can I help?

- Well, Mei was staying at your
shelter, and then she left.

Any idea why?

- She was indebted
to some scary people.

She didn't wanna
bring any danger

to the other girls
at the shelter.

I begged her to stay.

When she didn't,
I asked Michael

to help her get a safe place
outside of Chinatown.

- And that would
be Michael Quan.

- Yeah, he's always
been there for us.

It's starting.

- The NYPD remains confident
that we will bring

Jennifer Lee's shooter
to justice.

As a personal friend
of Mr. and Mrs. Lee's,

I'm here to introduce
the very fine Michael Quan.

- Thank you.

Hello, everyone. Um.

Mr. and Mrs. Lee asked me
to speak on their behalf.

Mr. Lee has decided to withdraw
from the race at this time

to focus
on his wife's recovery.

I have decided to honor
my friend Stephen Lee

by taking his place
in the race for councilman.

I will be running
on the same platform

that Stephen and Jennifer

have committed their lives to.
[phone buzzes]

- Yeah, Jet.

- I did a dive into Stephen
Lee's campaign finances.

Contributions were made
by an LLC

linked to an international
shipping company.

That company was implicated
two years ago

in a human trafficking
operation out of China.

And you'll never guess who's
on the board of directors.

- Michael Quan.

- I promise you, I will work
as hard as I can every day.

- Jet, let me get back to you.

Sarge?

- Yeah. Um, excuse us.

- Jet.

Quan financed Lee's campaign.
All of it with dirty money.

He's the one
behind the trafficking.

- So he's the one that needed
Jennifer Lee out of the way.

- All roads lead to Quan.

[tense music]

- Extra security
at my home and offices,

and schedule all
press appearances remotely.

- Mr. Quan.

Can I have a word with you?
In private?

- Uh...thank you, everyone.

Detective.

Are you here
to endorse my campaign?

- No, no, no, I'm here
to make a promise and, uh,

have a heart-to-heart with you.

- About what?

- Well, you and I both know
that, uh, you're responsible

for the attempted murder
of Jennifer Lee.

That's the heart-to-heart.

Here's the promise.

You will go down for it.
