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.

Mama, what kind
of tea did you want?

I don't want any tea.

What'd you put
the water on for?

Oh.

Well, what kind of tea
have you got?

Well, you like chamomile.

I got some of that from the
last time you were here.

The last time I was here,

you were doing construction
on Eli's room.

You finally finished that, huh?
- Yeah.

All I gotta do
is try and get him

to come home for spring break.

Okay, I'm going into the office
today for just a little bit.

And then I'll be back,

and we can have lunch,
all right?

Can you manage on your own?

You're leaving me alone
to fend for myself?

How will I ever manage?

What's a poor, old lady to do?

Just keep your phone
close by.

Oh, I will because
I'm gonna call all my friends

for the party that I'm throwing
while you're gone.

Do it. Do that.

What's with the summit?

- Guy that's not Thurman?
- Mm-hmm.

Head of NYPD counterintelligence.

Oh, yeah?

Detective Stabler.

Sir.

Have you met
Chief Nowak before?

I've heard the name.
Nice to meet you.

Hello.

Everybody gather up.

The UN called
for an emergency

General Assembly this week.

Now, there's no end
in sight in Ukraine,

so the members are gathering.

They're all coming,
diplomats and staff included.

That means added security
and gridlock.

- And overtime.
- Not for us. Take it easy.

Even with hundreds
of extra personnel

assigned for the event,
the State Department

is asking for more manpower
as a precautionary measure.

Intelligence is hearing
chatter of targeted attacks.

So because of our expertise
in surveillance and protection,

we're uniquely suited.

For what?

High-profile transport.

That's right.
Now, this is your assignment.

Diya Laghari, minister
of external affairs for India.

Although the prime minister
was supposed to come himself,

he's not well.

He sent Laghari as his proxy.

I've read about her.

She comes from this powerful
political family in Delhi.

She has big ambitions
back home.

And now she's giving

the prime minister's speech
at the UN.

So Laghari is not just VIP.

She's one of the centerpieces

for the UN's assembly
this session.

What's so special
about her speech?

Well, India has
mostly remained

neutral in the Ukrainian war,

but if her speech is for
or against Russia,

it drags China into the mix,
and global tensions rise.

According to ChatGPT.

Okay, so Madame Laghari
is ours.

No, Madame Laghari is yours.

The rest of the team will be
responsible for her entourage.

When's she coming in?

This afternoon
by private plane.

You'll transport her
to the consulate,

where her security
will take over from there.

I gotta make a call.

All right, the first thing
we're looking at

is the itinerary.
As you can see, she's...

Hey, Mama. It's me.

I can't make lunch.
Something came up.

Can't be helped.

Um, I got some leftover
risotto in the fridge.

Just zap it
for about a minute or so.

It tastes great.

And that's what I got for you.

All right. I love you. Bye.

- You got a sec?
- Yeah. What do you got?

I have that court date today.

I can't miss it.

- Jack's custody.
- Yeah.

If it ain't one thing,
it's another.

Anyway, I know
you can handle it.

I'll be back as soon as I can.

I got you, Sarge.

Your vehicle's
the second SUV.

Madame Laghari's
is right in front of you.

And the support staff's
in two other SUVs.

No. Change of plan.

She'll be riding
in my vehicle with me.

Why?

Copy that.

We're not here
to talk to the reporters.

Get them into the cars.

Madame Laghari.

I'm Detective Stabler
from the NYPD.

Where is my car?

Right out in front.

- Vehicle's ahead.
- Back up. Back up. Back up.

Is India planning
to support Russia in the war?

Is India still receiving
weapons from Russia?

Please move back.

Diya, please tell us
your plan for the speech.

Does India stand for Ukraine
or Russia?

Welcome to New York.

How was your flight?

Is there water up there?

Afraid not.

You didn't bring me
any water?

Madame, I was ordered
to provide you with protection,

not refreshments, so.

What did you say
your name was?

Stabler.

Detective Stabler,
it's nice to meet you.

Pleasure's all mine.

My flight was good.

And how is your day going?

Well, it'll be
a heck of a lot better

once I deliver you safely
to your consulate.

Thank you for asking.

Coming up on a crosswalk.
Keep your distance.

Black hoodie at my 3 o'clock.

Go! Go!

Are you all right?

What just happened?

Are you all right?

Both of you stay here.

Put it out on the air.

Stay with her.

OCCB unit requesting 10-13.

Vehicle in the motorcade
has just been bombed.

You okay?
Are you all right?

Driver's dead.

Look at me. Look at me.

You're gonna be okay.

I just need you
to take my hand.

Take my hand.

I need you to apply pressure
right here.

Everything's gonna be fine.
Help is on the way.

Help is on the way.

I ordered FD and a bus.
We got a two-minute ETA.

All right.

Have Patrol lock down
the street.

We need ESU, bomb squad, FBI.

Nobody gets near that vehicle.

I'll be back in a minute.

Whoa, whoa.

My assistant--
she's in that car.

Please, is she okay?

Madame, you need to stay
in the vehicle

until we secure the area.

Stay in the vehicle.

Our person of interest
is a white male, 40s,

6 feet, black hoodie and jeans.

Fled north on Froedtert
to parts unknown.

Description's out
on our suspicious hoodie,

but he's gonna be one
of thousands in New York.

So what do we know?

Getting names of everyone--

drivers, aides, running
background checks now.

We're interviewing
any and all people

who saw what happened, see what
they saw before the bombings.

I'm checking traffic cams
and CCTV to see

if they have footage
of our guy.

Madame Laghari wants
to go to the consulate.

That makes two of us,
so I'm gonna go with her.

By the time we get
to the consulate,

maybe we'll have
something, right?

Yep.

Yeah, she's here.

Call you back.

Are you okay?

I'm all right.
I just need a moment.

Who are you?

Her security escort,
Detective Stabler, NYPD.

Who are you?

I'm her security.

Do you know who is responsible
for this attack?

It's an ongoing investigation
as of now.

Why weren't you at the airport?

I was protecting
the ambassador.

I'm head of security.

Uh, uh, uh.

This house is sovereign
Indian territory,

and I didn't invite you in.

Veer, he has to stay.

Detective, can we talk
in private?

He's just doing his job.

Yeah.

Now, can I get you
some water?

No, thank you.

You really took charge
back there.

Thank you.

I need to know
how Sita is doing.

She's just arrived
at the hospital.

But I'll get updates for us.

Veer?

Yes, Diya.

Please put this in the safe.

Can I ask you
what's in the case?

It's the prime minister's
speech.

He wrote it down
so there'd be no chance

of it being hacked into.

Mm.

I'm to protect it
with my life.

Sounds like
a very important speech.

Chief minister of Bihar
on line one.

Excuse me.

So are you it for security
or are there other personnel?

- I have two other men.
- Great. That's not enough.

I'm gonna put officers
out front.

Bomb was
an M-12 demolition charge,

otherwise known
as military C-4.

Looks like it was
secured to the underside

of the manhole cover.

It's possible to lift up
and attach it,

but if you don't
wanna be seen,

you would come from below.

We also found
cell phone fragments,

indicating the bomb was set off
remotely, likely from nearby.

And likely by our
missing hoodie dude.

CCTV shows him getting
on the seven train

after the explosion,
but after that, he's in ghost.

Wait.

We need to head to the
Second Avenue subway station.

Easiest way to get under
through the subway station

is by way of the sewers.

Hey, guys.

Hey, Jet.

I'm gonna stay here
until backup arrives

and then head in.
Where are the boys?

Headed into the sewers
under the crime scene

to look for clues
about our bomb suspect.

All right, that's good.
Anything else?

Background checks
came back clean

on Laghari's aides and drivers.
- Okay.

- Excuse me.
- Hold on a sec.

- Detective Stabler?
- Yes.

Madam Laghari
wanted me to tell you

she appreciates all your help,
and she'll reach out shortly.

Excuse me, what does that
mean, reach out later?

Where is she?

Jet, I'll call you back.

This is not the OT
I was talking about.

Manhole covers
should be this way.

Hello?

Hey! Hey, wait!

NYPD!

Hey, we just wanna talk.

Hey, hey.

Don't move or we'll shoot.

You might be
the police up there,

but down here...

I'm the sheriff.

Okay.

All right, man. Relax.

We got real badges.
You wanna see them?

Organized crime.

Should be
investigating the IRS.

They're the perfect
organized crime.

They took my house.

You here because
of the explosion, huh?

That was loud as hell.
Whoo-hoo.

But we ain't had nothing
to do with that.

Yeah, tell us about that.

Listen, man, you hear
strange things down here.

Real strange.

It could be
a high rise going up,

a new construction,
or a water main break.

Well, it was
a targeted explosion.

I think they used the sewers
to stage the attack.

How long have you lived here?

About 45 years now.

You know, over 35 people
habitate this space.

And over 2,000 people
around the city

call this tunnel their home.

You guys want a beer or snack
or something like that?

No, I'm good.

So you're patched
into the grid illegally?

Society drove us down here.

They wanna bury us
so they don't see us.

So we take what we need
to survive.

You feel me?

Look, I'm sorry
for your circumstances,

but can you help us?

Man, some guy came down here
a couple of days ago,

lugging duffel bags
a few times.

Real ugly, trolly-looking guy.

Said he worked for the city.

Didn't speak much English.

What then?

We're gonna need this picture.

Oh, we gonna need
to make a little trade, man.

You know, I used
to be a trader.

You know that, right?

Well, how about we trade
that I don't bust you

for siphoning Con Ed?
That's pretty good, right?

Deal.

Madame Laghari--don't.

You left without notifying me.

That's not how this works.

I can't keep you safe
like that.

I had to come and see Sita.

I couldn't wait
for your permission.

Would it help
if I said please?

I understand.

Sita, this is the detective
I was telling you about.

Thank you for helping me.

How are you feeling?

I've never been better.

Well, New York
is usually friendlier

to its visitors,
so I just want to apologize.

Sita!

We were going over
the travel manifest,

and I noticed that there was
a last-minute replacement

for Madame Laghari's driver.

Yes.

Why was he replaced?

I don't know.

I--I make all
the travel arrangements,

including drivers.

And the driver of my car,
the one that Diya

was supposed to be in, he--

You were supposed
to be in that car.

You were supposed to be
in that car.

- Sita.
- Um--

- But I wa--
- Sita.

- Oh, my gosh.
- Excuse me.

- Sita--
- I'm so sorry.

- Mama?
- Don't get mad.

What's wrong?

I went out for a walk, and--

and now I--I don't know
where I am.

I found her in the yard.

- Hey.
- Hey. You at your station?

I'm actually
at Stabler's apartment.

He asked me to stay
with his mom

until she gets used
to a uni being here.

I'll be back
at the office in 30.

No, we don't have 30.

What do you need?

I'm sending you a photo now.

We need you to run
a facial rec ASAP.

Can you do it?

I should be able to
if you give me a second.

Send it.

Oh, this is gonna be tricky.

You can't work your magic?

For magic to work, you need
both energy and intent,

and this has very little
of either.

Mm.

Hold on.

Well, this looks promising.

He has a--looks like a deck
of playing cards in his pocket.

No, Russian cigarettes.

My first boyfriend
got to like 'em

when he was stationed
in Korea.

Afterwards, we would share one.

You know, when we--

I can still
taste them sometimes.

Hey. Court over?

Recess.

Thank God because
it was getting ugly.

You still with Laghari?

I just dropped her off
at the consulate.

She got away from me.

I'm heading back
to the office now.

Where are we
with the original driver?

Uh, Vikram Patel.

Well, Mr. Patel
is one lucky man,

having missed a date
with an exploding car.

Yeah, lucky or part
of a bigger plan.

Jamie and Reyes are
on the way down there

to question him now.

Okay. Hey, Ayanna?

This custody fight?

This, too, shall pass.

Promise?

What's the matter?

Just doesn't seem right
wearing another man's pants.

Yeah, well, my apartment
was on the way here,

and we had to change after
the New York City sewage tour,

so stop complaining.

Just don't feel like myself.

Mr. Patel? NYPD.

Mr. Patel?

Mr.--

NYPD, Mr. Patel.

We just wanna ask you
a few questions.

Hey.

The deceased
was Vikram Patel.

He was meant to be
the driver of Laghari's car,

but we know why he
didn't show up to work.

And the driver
who took his place?

Also deceased.

His name was Amir Ghosh.

We searched Patel's phone,
and he'd been messaging

an anonymous contact
with the route

that Laghari's car was to take.

Patel sold the info.

Now, Ghosh was just assigned
to replace the driver.

He was an innocent.
He wasn't meant to die.

When Stabler made the switch,
the bomber's plan fell apart.

None of our
intelligence reports

have flagged any threats
or tensions in India.

So this is about Laghari.

Somebody doesn't want her
to make that speech.

Hey, where are we
with that photo from the sewer?

Working on the facial rec
with some help from the FBI.

Right now, all we have
is that he smokes

a brand of cigarettes
that can only be bought

from Russia, Pravda filtered.

Got all that from
this picture, huh?

I didn't.

Your mom did.

Also, she wanted me to tell you
she doesn't need a babysitter.

- Thanks for telling me.
- Okay.

Hey, so if we're
talking Russian imports

that get around the embargo,
then our mystery man

has to have a connection.

I know someone else
who does too.

Might help us narrow it down.
- Okay. Go. Take Jamie.

Actually, this one
I gotta do alone.

Okay.

I'm gonna check in
with Laghari.

See if she can shed any light
on any of this.

I'm not quite sure
I understand the question.

I'm asking you
to help me with the why

so I can try
and figure out the who.

That's just it, detective.

The why is vast as the world

and as complicated
as its politics.

Okay, do you think the speech
had anything to do with it?

I'm sorry.
I cannot comment on that.

Okay.

Do you believe this was
personal or political?

To borrow from your
own country's cliche,

all politics is personal.
- Okay.

But if I were to twist your
arm, what would you say?

Well, I can think
of one or two spurned lovers

who'd love to see me blown up.

But I don't think they have the
expertise nor the connections

for what happened here.

Okay, so we've eliminated
angry boyfriends.

And politically, you don't seem
to be taking this seriously.

If you're asking me if this
is an international incident,

I would say perhaps.

But go and ask half
a dozen countries

if they were involved.

Well, could it be a rival
from home who's targeting you?

I'm just a diplomat.

But ambition
is always a target,

especially in politics,
especially if you're a woman,

and especially
if you're fighting for a place

on the world stage
from what is soon to be

one of the most populous
nations in the world.

Is there any name
that comes to mind?

Someone that would have
logistical connections here

to pull off this attack?

You ask me if a name
comes to mind.

If it did...

I would never speak his name
without concrete proof.

You're still here.

As far as the consul
is concerned,

you failed
to protect our diplomat

when you let her go
to the hospital

without U.S. assistance.

Let's go.

Now, look, I'm still here,
and she is still alive.

Now, I'm leaving.

I'm leaving.

And I'll be back.

I am here for you.

You're still doing
the setup commitment?

I'm surprised after the whole
potato chip casserole debacle.

Having a commitment's
what keeps me coming back.

You should try it.

How have you been, Mikhail?

Me?

I've been good.

How you been?

Tammy and the kids are good.

Busy.

Grab us some seats,
front row.

Not here for the meeting.

I need to talk to you.

Police business.

Oh.

So you've got time to show
up here, press me about work,

but you don't have time
for a meeting or your program?

What do you need help with,
Bobby?

Who sells those around here?

Pravda filtered.

There is only one place
that sells these,

but he won't admit it to you.

Who are you looking for?

Guy who may be tied
to the bombing yesterday.

I have a name for you.

My contact says a man
named Ivan set off the bomb.

No last name.
- That's it?

Says he's former
Russian paramilitary,

hired to do a job in the sewer

near the Second Avenue
subway construction site.

As a former Russian
militia member,

there's gotta be some State
Department advisory on him.

Tie his work experience
to his first name.

Find a picture of him
and cross-reference that

with the facial rec
from the blurry photo

using the FBI'S new AI tech
to get some good detail.

And I got him.

Ivan Ostrowski,
Russian immigrant

who moved to Brighton Beach
three years ago.

- Last known?
- Yes, it is.

- Hey, hey.
- Yeah.

C-4, M1-12 discharges.

Guys, he's our bomb maker.

Police. Don't move.

Put your hand on the counter,
and don't move.

I have to admit, Ivan,
your rap sheet

reads a bit like Tolstoy.

Thank you.

That wasn't a compliment.

It's long and repetitive.

Multiple assault and weapons
charges, even homicides.

Those were dismissed.

Well, maybe, but this time,
you've crossed the Rubicon.

Attempted assassination
of an Indian diplomat?

I had nothing
to do with that.

Well, that stack of C-4
in your basement, uh,

tells another story,
as does this picture

of you at the crime scene.

But it's true.

You don't seem like
the political type.

So who put you up to it?

Mickey Mouse.

Comedy.

I want my lawyer.

I can't imagine the people
who hired you are gonna be

too thrilled that you missed.

Let me guess.

You can protect me.

Well, you know, if you talk.

Stranger things
have been known to happen.

Ivan, you don't seem
to be comprehending

how much trouble you're in.

It's you who has no idea the
trouble you're in, Detective.

You think Russia
is buying this?

Who exactly is this suspect
you have in custody?

Well, Russian,
and that's about all

I can tell you right now.

But the investigation of Veer
has yielded no connections.

Are you aware of any?
- No.

I can only assume
my country will not be

too eager to investigate him.

Is there something
in that speech

that you're gonna say
that would threaten

the Russian government?

As I've told you before,
I'm just a diplomat.

And as such, diplomats advise,
politicians decide.

I can tell you nothing
in the speech is incendiary.

It's an olive branch.

But you're just a diplomat.
Yeah?

Ivan's computer has a file
on it with names, faces,

and locations
of certain targeted people,

including Patel, who's dead,
and Madame Laghari,

who is supposed to be dead.

Is there anyone else
in that file we can get to?

Yeah, you're gonna
wanna get back here.

Leland Johnson.

He's in Ivan's to-do file.

Works security
at a military factory upstate.

Factory making what?

Sensitive technology
used in some

of our most dangerous weapons.

The CEO said they were
robbed three days ago.

By a security guy?

They don't know.

He called in with the flu,
never came back.

Now he's on a
Russian kill list.

So what'd he steal?
- These.

Highly sensitive
and lethal semiconductors.

Precision microchips used
in supersonic missiles,

armed drones,
even automated vehicles.

Makes almost any device
more precise.

It's at the heart
of what the FBI

is calling the Tech Cold War.

And these new prototypes
that were stolen

are a game-changer if
they end up in Russian hands.

So where do we find this guy?

Hold positions.

I got Veer, take him in?

- No, hold on.
- He's got diplomatic immunity.

It'd be a waste of time.

Jet, you getting all this?

Yeah.
Do you want us to tail him?

No.

I know where he'll be.

Guys, we got eyes on Leland.

It looks like they did
the drop in the stairwell.

Let's take him down.

Hey, Leland.

Leland Johnson. Let's talk.

Uh. What?

Just the man we wanna see.

Sergeant, did I hear right?

We're dealing with some kind
of illegal arms trade here?

Well, the suspect
stole $10 million worth

of semiconductors
from a military factory

where he worked upstate.
- 10 million?

He made ten times that much

selling them
on the black market.

To who?

Well, they were intended
for the Russians at first,

but at the last minute,
there was a new bidder.

This is Laghari's
head of security.

So you're saying India
is making a military play here?

Or he was operating
as a rogue agent.

So the guy who planted
the bomb, Ivan,

was also after the seller, Leland.

It seems like Russia
didn't like being outbid.

We need to recover
these chips

before they leave U.S. soil.

Well, we have a diplomatic
immunity issue there.

Not if we get it revoked.

And what you uncovered
should be more than enough

to sway the ambassador.

Well, Chief, I suggest
you hold off on that call.

Why?

So we don't give Veer
a heads up.

Police, open up.

We have a warrant
to search the premises.

Hey, hey.

What are you doing here?
Get out.

You have no jurisdiction here.
- We do now.

We know about the chips, Veer.

Why don't you save us time
and tell us where they are?

Your warrant means nothing.

You can't touch me
nor my things.

They can.

The ambassador
waived your immunity.

On what grounds?

Trafficking in stolen
U.S. military hardware.

Put your hands
behind your back.

Do as he says.

Put your hands
behind your back.

This won't stand.

It'll stand 15 to life
in Leavenworth.

- Military hardware?
- Mm-hmm.

That's what this was about?

We hope it's still here.
We need to find it.

Excuse me. Hey. Stop.

What is that?
- That's mine.

Given what's happened
in the past 48 hours,

the prime minister said
the speech can wait.

I've been summoned
to come back home.

Thank you for saving my life.

If you'll excuse me, I have to
finish my travel arrangements.

Found it in a crawl space,
but no semiconductors.

Could he have
offloaded them already,

somewhere we can't get to?
- Yeah, maybe.

My car has arrived,

unless you need me
to change my travel plans.

I don't think
that's necessary.

Chief, I'm gonna drive
Madame Laghari to the airport.

You tasked me with her safety.

I wanna see it through
to the end.

Madame?
- Please.

Thank you for driving me.

And I'm sorry about Veer.
- Mm.

I hope you know he doesn't
represent my country.

Speaking of your country,
is it true that

it relies on Russia
for its arms?

Why do you ask?

Well, I'm thinking that India
gets those semiconductors,

and you don't have to worry
about Russia or China anymore.

Are you suggesting
that Veer is working on behalf

of the Indian government?

No.

I'm suggesting...

That you both are.

What is this?

Delivering that speech
was not the reason

why you came here.

But returning home with those
semiconductors, well...

Were those the orders
given to you

or did you do it
of your own volition?

Because it sounds
rather ambitious.

Veer had his immunity revoked.

I didn't.

Yeah, but I know the details.

I could recommend you
being charged.

Which I can get out of.

But do you really
wanna be connected

with an international incident

where United States military
hardware was stolen?

I mean, how's that gonna
work out for you?

I didn't know anything
at all about this until today.

I thought I was coming in
to deliver a speech

on behalf of my country,
and that is the truth.

I don't know
what the truth is.

But I will protect
my country's interests.

Then perhaps yours.

And what are you offering?

A diplomatic solution.

They're all there.

We can't thank you enough
for helping us recover these.

Thank you, but it was
Detective Stabler

who realized that Veer
had hidden them

in my briefcase
without my knowledge.

Well, it wouldn't
have been possible

without your cooperation.

I have a plane waiting.

Please excuse me.
- Good luck.

It's a great story.

Of course, I didn't get
this job by being naive.

She gave up Veer
so she could get away.

How'd you know that?

I didn't.

I just don't trust politicians.

Hey, um, thanks for
sending in the cavalry.

Yeah.
Just following your orders.

- Mm.
- Can I ask?

Were you protecting her?

It was the only play I could
see to get the chips back.

And no, you can't.

There'll be no repercussions.
I mean, you okay with that?

Yeah, there will be.

She's going home empty-handed.

It's not gonna be pretty
when she gets back there.

Trust me.

Mama?

Mama?

Out here, honey.

Hey.

This better?

- Ooh.
- Hmm?

That's nice. Thank you.

What are you doing?

Um, I was just making a wish.

Oh, yeah. Yeah.

Can I ask you what it was?

Well, no,
then it won't come true.

I got the names
of two really nice places

that we can go look at
when you're ready.

This must be hard for you,

looking for a place...

To put me out to pasture, huh?

I just want you
to be taken care of.

Do either of them
have walking paths?

I'd like to keep up my walks.

Well, if they don't,
then we'll just keep looking.

Okay.

Want you to be happy.

All I've ever wanted
is for you to be happy.

That's my only wish.
