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.

My father, he took a bullet
to save another cop's life.

That's who he was.

So what's the Brotherhood?
- We look after each other.

I want you to keep
an eye on Van Aller.

Those two women that got
gunned down the other night.

The lawyer and her client.

She found out
about the Brotherhood.

Van Aller was scared
out of his mind

that Donnelly would find out.

Derrick's my brother.
He doesn't know I'm a cop.

When the operation is over,
I plan to tell him.

The Albanians are gone.
So are the Italians.

I've outmaneuvered, outplayed,
outlasted

all my rivals.

But I can't
shake this feeling

of betraying these people.

Tell me about
this world of feeling for you.

What lives there?
- My father.

Your dad and his partner,
they get ambushed

by this hothead kid
who's unarmed.

Your dad's partner
shoots the kid.

- Dead?
- Dead. Major screw up.

They gotta justify
the shooting.

So your dad has his partner
shoot him in the leg.

Got a damn Combat Cross.

♪

- New ADA?
- Keller Shapiro.

The district attorney's
new handpicked new ankle biter.

Sergeant Bell.

Where's the proof
that Frank Donnelly is running

a criminal enterprise
out of the 3-7?

We're still building a case.

Everything's
not buttoned up yet.

You got one dead cop
who committed a murder.

Wrong, we do have a dead cop,
whose name, by the way,

is Matthew van Aller,
but he committed two murders

and tried to pin it on
a member of the Marcy Killers,

which is actually what
this taskforce is being tasked

with investigating,
the Marcy Killers.

So why not investigate them

and leave
your fellow cops alone?

IAB asked Detective Stabler
to investigate

Donnelly and the Brotherhood.

Oh. That's who you are.

Then do this quietly,
and do it fast.

I need solid proof--
- Counselor?

Thanks for dropping by,
but like the sergeant said,

we're in the middle
of compiling our documentation

to prove, in fact,
that they are a gang.

But in the meantime, we'll just
work quietly and quickly.

Get me audio and video.

I'm reluctant to put you
on the stand.

They'd rip you apart after,
uh, what's-his-name.

The man who murdered my wife?

♪

What do you think?
Wear a wire?

Absolutely not.

Donnelly's too savvy for that.

There is a better way at this,

but we only have one chance
to get it right.

Flip someone.

♪

Sweet ride.

Yeah, tricked out.

Solar battery,
double-padded saddle,

custom pegs.

Ugh, you're making
your "something is wrong" face.

What's wrong?

Well, now that
you mention it,

would you mind digging
into a cold case for me?

Say the word.
What's the case?

My father, Joe Stabler,
he received a Combat Cross.

Just, I wanna know
about the circumstances

surrounding that scene.

Cold case with
family resonance, I'm down.

Yeah. Thanks, I owe you.

Yeah.
Hey, we should ride some time.

- It's on my bucket list.
- You just said you owe me.

I told you, little king,
you gotta trust me on this.

We move this key,
next time we get three.

Damn, bro,
what about the Marcy Killers?

Those clowns are done.

Webb's gone soft.

Old man's lost his grip.
- Says that scar.

This is the best he can do?

We've got nothing
to worry about.

♪

You sure talk a lot, Chopper,

for someone
who's got nothing to say.

I'm just trying
to make it out there.

Same as you.

Your side hustle cutting
into Marcy Killer business?

That's how you, uh,
trying to make it?

This ain't gotta be a thing.

One of y'all ain't gonna
make it out of here today.

Whoa, this ain't got nothing
to do with me.

I know. I know. Just Chopper.

Get outta here, dude.

Now, I thought I'd made it
clear with your second strike

that there wasn't gonna be
a third.

Didn't I say that?

Huh?

You've really lost your mind,
old man.

Hmm.

So listen, I got this CI
up on Mother Gaston Boulevard.

Her boyfriend's
a small-time pot dealer.

But apparently
he hit the lottery

'cause he's waving all kinds of
cash around the neighborhood.

So we gonna bust him
or rob him?

We're gonna bust him
then rob him.

Pot dealer? Is it worth it?

Forget about the pot, man.
The cash.

It's free cash, baby.
both: Cash is cash.

Now you're catching on.

Have you been checking in
with the guys?

What with the Van Aller thing?

I'm a little worried
about Carling.

Carling? No, no, no.
Don't worry about Carling.

I'll tell you who
you should be worried about.

Worry about Santos.

'Cause that guy, he's shaky.

So I want you to keep
an eye on him, all right?

- - We have a 10-39-

at 7537 Pitkin Avenue--
- Unbelievable.

Son of a bitch is at it again.

Unbelievable.

Uh, 2-4, we'll take that.
You know the address?

Yeah, I know the address.

Mr. and Mrs. Oswald.
Wait till you see the husband.

This guy's a piece of work.

Hang on.

NYPD, open up.

Mrs. Oswald,
Detective Donnelly.

You remember me?
- I didn't mean to call.

It was an accident.

Well, all the same, we'd like
to take a look around.

Everything's fine, honestly.

I'm fine. You can go.

Step away from the door.

- It's okay, it's okay.
- Ah!

Okay, okay, it's all right.

We're not gonna let
anyone hurt you, okay?

Okay?
- What's gonna happen to him?

We're gonna take him
to the precinct

and book him this time, okay?

All right? Do you have
somebody you can call?

You don't
have to call anybody.

I'll be right back.
- Don't count on it, dirtbag.

I'm gonna get you sent
to urgent care, okay?

Have somebody look
at those cuts and bruises.

And I'm gonna send a friend
of mine over there.

Her name's Melinda. Okay?

She's a victim services advocate.

All right?
- Mm-hmm.

Okay. So let's go sit down.

So in your sermon, you said
that you came up in Brooklyn.

Do your folks still live there?

They passed away

Yeah, sadly the Rileys

which makes this especially
sweet for me and my sister.

May this be the first of many.

- Hear, hear.

Okay, you. You stay there.
What's your name, sir?

Clifton Hurley.

Mr. Hurley, you just wait
in the car here.

All right?
- What about him?

I'm gonna go back,
and I'm gonna talk to him.

Figure out what's going on.
Okay?

Change of plans.
Give me the keys.

Come on. Screw.

Come on, hurry up.

Okay, Mr. Hurley.

Where are you taking me?

I'm taking you
to the airport.

No, I want to go

I said I want to go
to the police station.

I have to make a full report.
- About what?

That you fainted
in the men's room? No.

I was robbed.
I said I was robbed.

- Sir, you were not robbed.
- Sir, listen to me.

These are not my diamonds.

I think
you're a little groggy.

They were switched--
I'm not groggy.

Don't tell me how I feel.

These are not my diamonds.

I don't know
what you're talking about.

I was drugged,

Listen,
when we get to the airport--

I'm not going to the airport.
Okay? I'm not going anywhere.

I want out of this car.
- Okay, just relax, sir.

I want you to relax.
- Let me out of this car!

- Calm down.
- Don't tell me to calm down.

You--where are my diamonds?

You know something.
Where are my diamonds?

- But you had the diamonds.
- Yeah, then Donnelly took them.

He told me there was
a change of plan.

Hey, Jet?

Santos was supposed
to take Hurley

to the airport last night.

Ah, well, according
to the flight manifest,

Hurley missed his plane.
- Different flight, maybe?

No, nothing on record.
I also checked CBP.

All right,
what about the hotel?

He checked out last night

before he went
to the convention center.

I ran DAS surveillance footage

to see if he came back there
for any reason.

But I got nothing.

All right,
let's focus on Santos.

What time
does he clock in today?

Tonight,
working the graveyard.

We'll put out a missing
persons alert for Hurley.

See if he turns up anywhere.

In the meantime,
we're waiting for Shapiro

to review our wiretap and see
if it meets his threshold

to bring Santos in.

Oh, you look so good.

That's a happy day.

There you go.

My parents would have been
so proud.

Tell us more
about your parents.

What did they do?

Oh, well, my father,
he was actually--

Sorry, I didn't realize.

I didn't know you were having
a meeting.

We just established

the Cassandra and Preston Webb
Community Health Clinic

at Ezekiel Baptist Church.

The Lord is good.

- Amen.
- Amen.

This is unexpected.

What did you want

I'm praying I'm doing

You shouldn't have taken money

We've already talked
about this, Carmen.

You can't put yourself

Especially not

I don't work for him.

I'm undercover.

Say what?

Like Daddy was.

I'm a police officer.

I'm investigating Webb.

Since when?

Six years.

I came out of the academy,
went right undercover.

Joined a gang called
the Marcy Killers.

You know who they are?
- Yeah, sure, yeah.

I've heard about them.

The Marcy organization,
Preston Webb?

Yeah. I know.

And I've heard all the rumors.

- Look, Daddy--

He never wanted any of his kids

Do you know who killed him?

♪

Jessie Santos.

Come in.

You know, I didn't know
your father all that well.

He was half a generation

just like I'm half a generation
ahead of you.

I understand that.

But you were there
when he got that.

In the department.

Right?

I take it
you've heard the stories.

What stories?

People talk a lot of crap.
They talk too much.

It's better to shut your mouth.
- Are they true?

Tell me what you've heard.

His partner Gus Hansen
shot a kid, unprovoked,

and my father staged his own
shooting to cover it up.

Your dad was a loyal partner. Courageous.

That was his reputation.

He'd be the first one to show
if backup was needed.

Why won't you answer
the question?

Because I don't know
the answer.

But I know this.

When your dad came up,
this city was desolate.

Bankrupt.

Crime-riddled
on almost every block

in every neighborhood.

The police department
was broken.

All right, out-manned,
out-gunned, and underpaid.

These were tough men
in a tough situation.

And they were doing
the best they could.

Was there corruption?
Of course there was.

Were there bad cops?
Absolutely.

That is the world that
your father was working in.

It was a dangerous time.

♪

Look, this much I know.

As difficult as Joe was
in many ways,

he was a great cop

in his day.

Well, you see,
I'm guessing that...

your father gave you this medal

act of contrition for him.

Maybe.

His way of saying,

You honor this cross and all
