he's gonna get back to you.

[phone buzzes]
- Oh, we got him on the hook.

324
00:15:56,156 --> 00:15:58,258

Okay. Step one, stand by.

- Copy that, Captain.

332
00:16:53,546 --> 00:16:56,683
- Someone's headed our way.

333
00:16:59,486 --> 00:17:00,787
- That's not our guy.

334
00:17:00,820 --> 00:17:03,523
- Then we got a problem.
He's taking the cash.

335
00:17:03,556 --> 00:17:05,158
- It must be
a two-man operation.

336
00:17:05,191 --> 00:17:06,359
- Let's move!

337

NYPD.
Hands where we can see them.

338
00:17:14,634 --> 00:17:16,136
- Who the hell are you?
Where's Tyler?

339
00:17:16,169 --> 00:17:18,304
- Hey, hey, hey, hey, Kelsey.
- Who's Tyler?

340
00:17:18,338 --> 00:17:19,739
- We'll sort that out
down at the station.

341
00:17:19,773 --> 00:17:21,341
- Station? Am I under arrest?

342
00:17:21,374 --> 00:17:22,809
- Good guess.

343
00:17:22,842 --> 00:17:25,745
- Hey, I asked you a question.
- Kelsey, not now.

344
00:17:25,779 --> 00:17:27,647
- But I need an answer.
- I understand that, right?

345
00:17:27,681 --> 00:17:29,816
But you need to let us
do our job.

346
00:17:29,849 --> 00:17:31,718
- Come on. Come on.
- Okay?

347
00:17:33,753 --> 00:17:36,289
- Captain.
- Great, thank you.

348
00:17:43,196 --> 00:17:43,196
- So, Ruby...

349
00:17:44,831 --> 00:17:46,833
- I've never seen
this guy before.

350
00:17:46,866 --> 00:17:48,702
Is he the one behind the scam?

351
00:17:48,735 --> 00:17:52,772
- Well, um, we're trying
to sort that out,

352
00:17:52,806 --> 00:17:56,843
but we set up a sting,
and this is the guy

353
00:17:56,876 --> 00:17:59,145
who picked up the money.

354
00:17:59,179 --> 00:18:01,381
- From the trunk of a car?

355
00:18:01,414 --> 00:18:04,351
That's the same way
I dropped off my cash.

356
00:18:04,384 --> 00:18:07,587
- Yes, and that's why
I need you to tell me

357
00:18:07,620 --> 00:18:10,757
exactly how this went down.

358
00:18:10,790 --> 00:18:14,361
- Nick,
or who I thought was Nick,

359
00:18:14,394 --> 00:18:17,263
texted me to leave the cash
in the trunk of a rental car.

360
00:18:17,297 --> 00:18:19,332
- And how did you know
it was the right car?

361
00:18:19,366 --> 00:18:21,601
- He texted me
the license plate number.

362
00:18:21,634 --> 00:18:24,371
I--I heard a chirp.
The trunk opened.

363
00:18:24,404 --> 00:18:26,606
I left the cash
and got out of there.

364
00:18:26,639 --> 00:18:30,410
- This is the exact same MO as
the case that we're working on.

365
00:18:32,379 --> 00:18:35,615
- So they are connected?

366
00:18:35,648 --> 00:18:38,418
- It's starting
to look like it.

367
00:18:38,451 --> 00:18:39,886
- Can you get the money back?

368
00:18:39,919 --> 00:18:41,454
I was gonna use it
for my college,

369
00:18:41,488 --> 00:18:42,789
and the rest is for Josie's.

370
00:18:42,822 --> 00:18:45,625
- So I can't make
any promises right now,

371
00:18:45,658 --> 00:18:47,527
but I want you to know
that we are doing

372
00:18:47,560 --> 00:18:50,797
everything we can to catch
whoever is behind this.

373
00:18:52,866 --> 00:18:55,502
- As the deadline nears,
the UFT president says

374
00:18:55,535 --> 00:18:57,771
teachers are ready to come
back to the bargaining table--

375
00:18:57,804 --> 00:18:59,673
excuse me, will not be ready.

376
00:18:59,706 --> 00:19:00,774
I'm Kelsey Sommers...
- Hey.

377
00:19:00,807 --> 00:19:02,375
- For 1NYC.

378
00:19:02,409 --> 00:19:03,877
- I see that our sextorter
already lawyered up.

379
00:19:03,910 --> 00:19:05,578
So who is this guy?

380
00:19:05,612 --> 00:19:08,615
- His name is Neil Marsh, and
he's an unemployed copywriter.

381
00:19:08,648 --> 00:19:11,317
- So in other words, not Tyler.
- Oh, they're working together.

382
00:19:11,351 --> 00:19:13,520
- So Tyler was the bait,
and this guy's what,

383
00:19:13,553 --> 00:19:15,255
the bookkeeper?

384
00:19:15,288 --> 00:19:16,956
50 grand, huh?
Not bad for a day's work.

385
00:19:16,990 --> 00:19:18,958
- Fin and Bruno
will take a statement,

386
00:19:18,992 --> 00:19:21,361
and Velasco and Silva
are searching his apartment.

387
00:19:21,394 --> 00:19:23,229
- More importantly,
how's Kelsey doing?

388
00:19:23,263 --> 00:19:24,898
- You know,
she's trying to maintain

389
00:19:24,931 --> 00:19:27,267
her on-air personality
from the looks of it,

390
00:19:27,300 --> 00:19:29,769
but, you know, feeling robbed
of her sense of control.

391
00:19:29,803 --> 00:19:31,404
- I can't say that I blame her.

392
00:19:31,438 --> 00:19:33,740
But for the time being,
at least the sex tape

393
00:19:33,773 --> 00:19:35,241
hasn't been released.

394
00:19:35,275 --> 00:19:36,776
- Look, the clock
is still ticking.

395
00:19:36,810 --> 00:19:39,245
And we have at least
one known accomplice.

396
00:19:39,279 --> 00:19:40,847
- I don't see
an unemployed copywriter

397
00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:43,983
willing to do hard time,
do you?

398
00:19:44,017 --> 00:19:46,386
- A woman like Kelsey
would never go to a hotel

399
00:19:46,419 --> 00:19:47,520
with a guy like me.

400
00:19:47,554 --> 00:19:48,988
- So what's your role in this?

401
00:19:49,022 --> 00:19:52,525
- I'm just a mouthpiece.
- And bag man, evidently.

402
00:19:52,559 --> 00:19:53,993
- I was forced into it.

403
00:19:54,027 --> 00:19:56,696
- As I was trying to tell you,
my client's the victim

404
00:19:56,730 --> 00:19:58,331
of sextortion as well.

405
00:19:59,933 --> 00:20:01,401
- We're listening.

406
00:20:01,434 --> 00:20:04,871
[tense music]

407
00:20:04,904 --> 00:20:08,008
- Go ahead, Neil.

408
00:20:08,041 --> 00:20:10,710
- Six months ago, a woman
reached out to me on Instagram.

409
00:20:10,744 --> 00:20:11,978
She was hot.

410
00:20:12,012 --> 00:20:14,314
I'm talking about
a New York ten.

411
00:20:14,347 --> 00:20:16,416
At first,
I thought she was just a bot,

412
00:20:16,449 --> 00:20:18,651
but she seemed legit,
especially when

413
00:20:18,685 --> 00:20:20,053
she agreed to meet me
in person.

414
00:20:20,086 --> 00:20:22,922
She was everything
I've been looking for--

415
00:20:22,956 --> 00:20:26,826
sweet, Midwestern,
a good conversationalist.

416
00:20:26,860 --> 00:20:29,996
- You two have sex?
- No, never got that far.

417
00:20:30,030 --> 00:20:33,033
- But let me guess.
She sent you nudes.

418
00:20:34,634 --> 00:20:37,604
- Then asked for some of me.

419
00:20:37,637 --> 00:20:40,940
- Look, tell them what happened
when you sent the pictures.

420
00:20:40,974 --> 00:20:44,477
- My mom was sent one first.
- Then what?

421
00:20:44,511 --> 00:20:47,047
- I was told
all my LinkedIn contacts

422
00:20:47,080 --> 00:20:49,749
would get one
unless I paid 50 grand.

423
00:20:49,783 --> 00:20:51,017
I knew I'd never work again.

424
00:20:51,051 --> 00:20:52,952
Problem was,
I didn't have the cash.

425
00:20:52,986 --> 00:20:55,522
- So in exchange,
you had to work it off?

426
00:20:55,555 --> 00:20:57,791
- By scouring Instagram
and dating apps

427
00:20:57,824 --> 00:20:59,459
for anyone with
a blue checkmark,

428
00:20:59,492 --> 00:21:01,928
anyone with clout
or a good career.

429
00:21:01,961 --> 00:21:04,464
I'd hit them up,
get them hooked.

430
00:21:04,497 --> 00:21:06,933
- So if Tyler
was the eye candy,

431
00:21:06,966 --> 00:21:09,769
and you were just some kind of
sick Cyrano de Bergerac,

432
00:21:09,803 --> 00:21:11,805
who's getting all the money?

433
00:21:11,838 --> 00:21:14,808
- His name is Constantine.
He lives out in Queens.

434
00:21:14,841 --> 00:21:17,043
That's all I know.

435
00:21:17,077 --> 00:21:20,847
- Do we believe this guy?
- I mean, the story checks out.

436
00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:22,382
TARU took his laptop and iPad.

437
00:21:22,415 --> 00:21:24,617
No photos or videos
of Kelsey on them.

438
00:21:24,651 --> 00:21:26,386
- And he is unemployed.

439
00:21:26,419 --> 00:21:29,089
He worked at a prestigious
ad agency until AI came along.

440
00:21:29,122 --> 00:21:30,724
- Another occupation
on life support.

441
00:21:30,757 --> 00:21:33,059
- Well, it explains why
this guy out in Queens

442
00:21:33,093 --> 00:21:35,528
let Neil put his own
sextortion case on layaway.

443
00:21:35,562 --> 00:21:37,964
- But why go after him
in the first place?

444
00:21:37,997 --> 00:21:39,899
I mean, Kelsey is
a professional woman.

445
00:21:39,933 --> 00:21:41,067
She's on an upward trajectory.

446
00:21:41,101 --> 00:21:43,403
- She's pulling in six figures.

447
00:21:43,436 --> 00:21:45,505
She just won
the Press Club Award.

448
00:21:45,538 --> 00:21:47,941
- Yeah, but Neil is
a schlub with no job.

449
00:21:47,974 --> 00:21:50,543
- Well, his Instagram account
says otherwise.

450
00:21:50,577 --> 00:21:52,545
- Let me see.

451
00:21:52,579 --> 00:21:55,815
- Exotic travel,
sports cars, yachts--

452
00:21:55,849 --> 00:21:57,484
probably rented.

453
00:21:57,517 --> 00:21:59,552
- So this guy's entire
digital life is a mirage?

454
00:21:59,586 --> 00:22:01,154
- Oh, you should see
his apartment.

455
00:22:01,187 --> 00:22:02,956
500-square-foot studio
in Hoboken.

456
00:22:02,989 --> 00:22:04,758
- Okay, so what
do we do with him?

457
00:22:04,791 --> 00:22:06,826
- I could charge him with
grand larceny and coercion,

458
00:22:06,860 --> 00:22:08,428
but if he really is a victim--

459
00:22:08,461 --> 00:22:10,697
- He's not the only one
we should be going after.

460
00:22:10,730 --> 00:22:13,600
I mean, Constantine is
where the money goes,

461
00:22:13,633 --> 00:22:16,136
so he has to be in control
of all the photos.

462
00:22:16,169 --> 00:22:18,071
- Which means he's the one
that we should be charging.

463
00:22:18,104 --> 00:22:20,140
- So what's the play here?

464
00:22:20,173 --> 00:22:24,577
Flip Neil and get to
the head of the operation?

465
00:22:24,611 --> 00:22:27,013
- I have another idea.

466
00:22:28,481 --> 00:22:30,583
- Seems like you're having
a bad day, Neil.

467
00:22:30,617 --> 00:22:31,951
- Who's this guy?

468
00:22:31,985 --> 00:22:33,653
- I'm just
a lowly public servant

469
00:22:33,687 --> 00:22:34,454
on a mission of mercy.

470
00:22:34,487 --> 00:22:36,122
- Weren't you listening,
Counselor?

471
00:22:36,156 --> 00:22:39,759
My client's a victim himself.
- No, I heard, I heard.

472
00:22:39,793 --> 00:22:41,027
But, uh,
we don't have anybody else

473
00:22:41,061 --> 00:22:42,429
in custody at present.

474
00:22:42,462 --> 00:22:43,930
- What we do have
is your client,

475
00:22:43,963 --> 00:22:46,132
on the record,
admitting to extortion.

476
00:22:46,166 --> 00:22:48,001
- And we caught him red-handed
picking up the ransom.

on the way right now.

637
00:30:21,488 --> 00:30:23,223
- With a warrant
for all his devices.

638
00:30:23,256 --> 00:30:24,991
- And if we find anything,

639
00:30:25,025 --> 00:30:26,593
he's looking
at ten years per count.

640
00:30:26,626 --> 00:30:30,130
- Look, fellas, my house is
my sanctuary, all right?

641
00:30:30,163 --> 00:30:31,564
I'm married.

642
00:30:31,598 --> 00:30:33,600
I would never bring a woman
like Audra to my home.

643
00:30:33,633 --> 00:30:35,969
- Right, so that's why
you met her at your car?

644
00:30:36,002 --> 00:30:37,170
- [sighs]

645
00:30:37,203 --> 00:30:40,273
All I did was give a woman
in need a little bit of cash.

646
00:30:40,306 --> 00:30:42,942
- [laughs]
Yeah?

647
00:30:42,976 --> 00:30:46,212
That's not the story
she's telling.

648
00:30:46,246 --> 00:30:49,616
- Look, I'm not trying
to cause you any trouble.

649
00:30:49,649 --> 00:30:52,519
- Really?
Doesn't feel that way.

650
00:30:52,552 --> 00:30:54,954
So I can just go home,
go to sleep?

651
00:30:54,988 --> 00:30:56,589
- Yeah, as soon as you tell us

652
00:30:56,623 --> 00:30:58,158
how the scam works
from your end.

653
00:30:58,191 --> 00:30:59,492
- Who's us?

654
00:31:01,461 --> 00:31:04,130
Ugh. You?

655
00:31:04,164 --> 00:31:05,932
You're a cop?

656
00:31:05,965 --> 00:31:08,101
- It's nice to see you again,
Audra.

657
00:31:08,134 --> 00:31:11,237
- I thought you were
a married guy from Mexico.

658
00:31:11,271 --> 00:31:12,972
You lied to me.

659
00:31:13,006 --> 00:31:14,240
- Yeah, well,
that's not against the law.

660
00:31:14,274 --> 00:31:16,343
You, on the other hand--
- I don't talk to cops.

661
00:31:16,376 --> 00:31:17,510
- Oh, and I get that.

662
00:31:17,544 --> 00:31:19,079
But the sooner you do,

663
00:31:19,112 --> 00:31:21,047
the sooner
you can get out of here.

664
00:31:24,017 --> 00:31:26,653
- I get paid to go on dates,
get the guy's number

665
00:31:26,686 --> 00:31:28,955
so they can start texting him.

666
00:31:28,988 --> 00:31:30,990
- Is that all?
- That's all.

667
00:31:31,024 --> 00:31:33,126
- And you don't do
any of the communicating?

668
00:31:33,159 --> 00:31:35,995
- It's a compartmentalized
organization.

669
00:31:36,029 --> 00:31:38,098
- Yeah, you're really good
at your job,

670
00:31:38,131 --> 00:31:40,000
I'll give you that.

671
00:31:40,033 --> 00:31:42,402
- Look, the real goal is
just to get their number.

672
00:31:42,435 --> 00:31:45,105
Then some other guy texts them
and gets them to send

673
00:31:45,138 --> 00:31:47,107
compromising pictures
of themselves.

674
00:31:47,140 --> 00:31:49,009
- So every time Constantine
wants to hire you,

675
00:31:49,042 --> 00:31:50,243
does he text?

676
00:31:50,276 --> 00:31:51,978
- Usually, but we go way back.

677
00:31:52,012 --> 00:31:54,447
Sometimes I'll meet him
at Basil's house.

678
00:31:54,481 --> 00:31:55,615
- Basil?

679
00:31:55,648 --> 00:31:58,585
[tense music]

680
00:31:58,618 --> 00:32:00,553
* *

681
00:32:00,587 --> 00:32:03,156
You're in a lot of
trouble here, Audra.

682
00:32:03,189 --> 00:32:07,160
Extortion, for starters.

683
00:32:07,193 --> 00:32:10,230
- Unless you got
an address to that house.

684
00:32:10,263 --> 00:32:17,037
* *

685
00:32:17,070 --> 00:32:19,039
- [sighs]

686
00:32:21,441 --> 00:32:23,510
[pen clatters]

687
00:32:24,544 --> 00:32:26,680
- Mm.

688
00:32:26,713 --> 00:32:29,082
I'll take this to the captain.

689
00:32:31,084 --> 00:32:33,586
- That address checked out?
- Yeah, McMansion in Queens.

690
00:32:33,620 --> 00:32:35,622
Owner on record
is Basil Koutris.

691
00:32:35,655 --> 00:32:37,290
- Maybe they're brothers.

692
00:32:37,323 --> 00:32:39,526
- We didn't find anything
at Constantine's house.

693
00:32:39,559 --> 00:32:41,061
- So hopefully Kelsey's photos

694
00:32:41,094 --> 00:32:42,729
are on a thumb drive
at the brother's place.

695
00:32:42,762 --> 00:32:44,731
- I'm going to get Carisi
started on a warrant.

696
00:32:44,764 --> 00:32:46,433
Go to this McMansion,
pick up the brother

697
00:32:46,466 --> 00:32:49,669
before he has a chance
to make good on his threat.

698
00:32:49,703 --> 00:32:51,738
[sirens wailing]

699
00:32:51,771 --> 00:32:54,641
[indistinct radio chatter]

700
00:32:54,674 --> 00:32:56,710
- Nice place,
if you've got no taste.

701
00:32:56,743 --> 00:32:59,212
- There is a lot of money
in other people's shame.

702
00:32:59,245 --> 00:33:00,313
[doorbell rings]

703
00:33:03,149 --> 00:33:03,950
- Yes?

704
00:33:03,983 --> 00:33:05,752
- We're looking
for Basil Koutris.

705
00:33:05,785 --> 00:33:07,721
- He's not here.
- That doesn't matter.

706
00:33:07,754 --> 00:33:10,523
We got a warrant.

707
00:33:10,557 --> 00:33:14,127
- You know where Basil went?
- He just left for the airport.

708
00:33:14,160 --> 00:33:16,429
- Was this a planned trip?
- How would I know?

709
00:33:16,463 --> 00:33:17,697
I'm his housekeeper.

710
00:33:17,731 --> 00:33:18,665
- You think somebody
tipped him off?

711
00:33:18,698 --> 00:33:21,434
- Did he drive himself?
- Took a QuikRide.

712
00:33:21,468 --> 00:33:23,069
- Okay, get squad cars out

713
00:33:23,103 --> 00:33:25,238
to JFK, Newark,
and LaGuardia airports.

714
00:33:25,271 --> 00:33:27,807
Notify Homeland Security
and Port Authority.

715
00:33:27,841 --> 00:33:29,275
- All right,
I'll call dispatch.

716
00:33:29,309 --> 00:33:30,810
Maybe we can exigent
the QuikRide info.

717
00:33:33,113 --> 00:33:35,648
- Captain, Kelsey's here.
- What's up?

718
00:33:35,682 --> 00:33:36,783
- One of my sources
told me you got him.

719
00:33:36,816 --> 00:33:38,184
Did you?

720
00:33:38,218 --> 00:33:40,520
- Not yet, but we're--
we're very close.

721
00:33:40,553 --> 00:33:42,555
- We got half the force on it.

722
00:33:42,589 --> 00:33:44,190
- What about my video?

723
00:33:44,224 --> 00:33:45,025
- We have warrants

724
00:33:45,058 --> 00:33:45,925
for his phones,
for his computers.

725
00:33:45,959 --> 00:33:48,261
They're searching
that house right now.

726
00:33:48,294 --> 00:33:49,596
- You got Basil?

727
00:33:49,629 --> 00:33:51,331
- The unis pulled him over
heading towards

728
00:33:51,364 --> 00:33:52,799
the JFK departure ramp.

729
00:33:52,832 --> 00:33:54,267
- That son of a bitch
tried to run.

730
00:33:54,300 --> 00:33:56,369
- Anything on him?
- No weapons.

731
00:33:56,403 --> 00:33:57,604
No boarding pass either.

732
00:33:57,637 --> 00:33:58,805
- Yeah, he didn't have time
to book a flight.

733
00:33:58,838 --> 00:34:00,073
- What about his luggage?

734
00:34:00,106 --> 00:34:04,477
- All we found was 85 grand
in cash strapped to his person.

735
00:34:04,511 --> 00:34:06,112
- How's it going, Basil?

736
00:34:06,146 --> 00:34:07,580
- Where are you going
in such a hurry?

737
00:34:07,614 --> 00:34:08,815
- To visit my family in Greece.

738
00:34:08,848 --> 00:34:10,583
- Well, I hope you bought
travel insurance,

739
00:34:10,617 --> 00:34:12,585
'cause you're not
making any flights today.

740
00:34:14,554 --> 00:34:17,323
- Thanks, Fin.

741
00:34:17,357 --> 00:34:19,592
We got him.
- [gasps]

742
00:34:19,626 --> 00:34:20,827
- I'll get started
on the indictments

743
00:34:20,860 --> 00:34:23,396
for both the Koutris brothers.

744
00:34:23,430 --> 00:34:26,833
- If this does go to trial,
you still may have to testify.

745
00:34:26,866 --> 00:34:28,535
- But nobody
will ever see that video?

746
00:34:28,568 --> 00:34:30,203
- No.

747
00:34:30,236 --> 00:34:31,671
- That is all that matters.
- Yes.

748
00:34:31,705 --> 00:34:33,206
[phone buzzes]

749
00:34:37,344 --> 00:34:39,579
Kelsey, what's wrong?

750
00:34:39,612 --> 00:34:41,181
[tense music]

751
00:34:41,214 --> 00:34:43,383
- He sent it.
- What?

752
00:34:43,416 --> 00:34:45,852
[phone rings]

753
00:34:45,885 --> 00:34:49,522
- Lisette, how bad is it?

754
00:34:49,556 --> 00:34:52,892
Who got it?
- Um...

755
00:34:52,926 --> 00:34:56,229
[phones buzzing, ringing]

756
00:34:58,932 --> 00:35:00,400
Everyone.

757
00:35:00,433 --> 00:35:02,469
It arrived in our inboxes
at the same time.

758
00:35:02,502 --> 00:35:04,437
It must have been
a scheduled send.

759
00:35:04,471 --> 00:35:06,373
The head of the
network's on the floor.

760
00:35:06,406 --> 00:35:08,742
You should probably
get back over here ASAP.

761
00:35:08,775 --> 00:35:11,211
I'm so sorry, Kelsey.

762
00:35:12,812 --> 00:35:14,681
- [sniffles]

763
00:35:16,516 --> 00:35:19,185
It's over.

764
00:35:19,219 --> 00:35:20,487
- I am so sorry.

765
00:35:20,520 --> 00:35:24,391
- You never should have
talked me off that roof.

766
00:35:24,424 --> 00:35:26,459
- Kelsey, don't say that.
Don't say that.

767
00:35:26,493 --> 00:35:29,529
- God, what am I gonna do?
- Listen to me.

768
00:35:29,562 --> 00:35:30,730
Listen to me.

769
00:35:30,764 --> 00:35:32,732
We're gonna figure
something out.

770
00:35:32,766 --> 00:35:35,468
- Like what? It's done.

771
00:35:35,502 --> 00:35:36,803
I'm done.

772
00:35:39,739 --> 00:35:42,175
- I might know how
to turn this around.

773
00:35:48,447 --> 00:35:49,015
- Sorry to interrupt,
Counselor,

774
00:35:50,050 --> 00:35:53,753
but there's somebody
Mr. Koutris might wanna see.

775
00:35:53,787 --> 00:35:55,655
- Basil. Vasili!

776
00:35:55,689 --> 00:35:57,524
Hey, Vasi--Vasili!

777
00:35:57,557 --> 00:36:00,527
What's he doing here?
- He tried to run out on you.

778
00:36:00,560 --> 00:36:01,961
- Oh, he didn't tell you?

779
00:36:01,995 --> 00:36:03,963
He took off with 85 grand,
headed to the motherland.

780
00:36:03,997 --> 00:36:05,265
- What are you talking about?

781
00:36:05,298 --> 00:36:07,400
- That kind of money would last
an awful long time in Greece.

782
00:36:07,434 --> 00:36:09,936
- It sounded like he was
planning on staying a while.

783
00:36:09,969 --> 00:36:12,806
- So maybe you wanna have
a conversation,

784
00:36:12,839 --> 00:36:15,408
or should we talk
to your brother first?

785
00:36:15,442 --> 00:36:18,745
- [breathes deeply]

786
00:36:18,778 --> 00:36:21,448
- That's right.

787
00:36:21,481 --> 00:36:23,783
- My brother
would never betray me.

788
00:36:23,817 --> 00:36:24,951
- I hate to break it to you,
Constantine,

789
00:36:24,984 --> 00:36:26,519
but he already did.

790
00:36:26,553 --> 00:36:27,954
- And aside from the cash,

791
00:36:27,987 --> 00:36:30,323
he cleared out
your crypto accounts.

792
00:36:31,858 --> 00:36:34,361
- [speaking Greek]
That son of a bitch.

793
00:36:34,394 --> 00:36:35,495
- Don't listen to them,
Constantine.

794
00:36:35,528 --> 00:36:36,763
They're lying.

795
00:36:36,796 --> 00:36:37,997
- Doesn't sound like
counsel's looking out

796
00:36:38,031 --> 00:36:40,033
for your best interest here.
- Excuse me?

797
00:36:40,066 --> 00:36:42,302
- What are you talking about?
- Who called her for you?

798
00:36:42,335 --> 00:36:45,538
- Better yet,
who's paying for her?

799
00:36:45,572 --> 00:36:47,440
Let me guess, your brother?

800
00:36:47,474 --> 00:36:49,309
- All right,
this interview is over.

801
00:36:49,342 --> 00:36:51,011
- I don't think
she's representing you.

802
00:36:51,044 --> 00:36:53,546
- But we wanna help you,
Constantine.

803
00:36:53,580 --> 00:36:56,049
You still have an opportunity
to make a deal for yourself.

804
00:36:56,082 --> 00:36:57,684
- Why go down
for the whole scam

805
00:36:57,717 --> 00:36:59,552
when you're just doing
your brother's dirty work?

806
00:36:59,586 --> 00:37:00,987
- I said that's enough.

807
00:37:01,021 --> 00:37:03,023
This is highly unprofessional.
- All right. Hey, hey.

808
00:37:03,056 --> 00:37:05,325
Why don't you just
go take a walk, huh?

809
00:37:05,358 --> 00:37:08,495
- But Constantine, they'll--
- Get out!

810
00:37:08,528 --> 00:37:10,397
[tense music]

811
00:37:10,430 --> 00:37:11,965
I said get out.

812
00:37:15,835 --> 00:37:18,872
All right.

813
00:37:18,905 --> 00:37:22,776
You wanna talk, hmm?

814
00:37:22,809 --> 00:37:25,779
[sighs]
I'm ready to listen.

815
00:37:28,481 --> 00:37:31,017
- Basil Koutris,
you are charged

816
00:37:31,051 --> 00:37:34,054
with three counts unlawful
surveillance in the second,

817
00:37:34,087 --> 00:37:36,790
seven counts coercion
in the first,

818
00:37:36,823 --> 00:37:38,825
seven counts grand larceny
in the second.

819
00:37:38,858 --> 00:37:41,661
How do you plead?
- Not guilty.

820
00:37:41,695 --> 00:37:42,962
- People on bail?

821
00:37:42,996 --> 00:37:44,264
- We request remand,
Your Honor.

822
00:37:44,297 --> 00:37:47,000
The defendant was apprehended
attempting to flee the country.

823
00:37:47,033 --> 00:37:49,336
He's got the means and the
motivation to do so again.

824
00:37:49,369 --> 00:37:50,804
- My client had
no prior knowledge

825
00:37:50,837 --> 00:37:52,439
of a warrant for his arrest.

826
00:37:52,472 --> 00:37:53,707
He was on his way
to the airport

827
00:37:53,740 --> 00:37:54,774
for a pre-planned trip.

828
00:37:54,808 --> 00:37:55,909
The timing
was pure coincidence.

829
00:37:55,942 --> 00:37:57,110
- Save it, Counselor.

830
00:37:57,143 --> 00:37:58,845
The people's request
is granted.

831
00:37:58,878 --> 00:38:00,947
Next case.

832
00:38:00,980 --> 00:38:03,416
[cameras clicking]

833
00:38:06,553 --> 00:38:08,655
- That judge sure
doesn't waste any time.

834
00:38:08,688 --> 00:38:10,790
- Serani? No, that's his MO.

835
00:38:10,824 --> 00:38:12,459
Treats every case
like a hemorrhoid.

836
00:38:12,492 --> 00:38:14,361
- Uh, detectives?

837
00:38:14,394 --> 00:38:15,662
- Neil.

838
00:38:15,695 --> 00:38:17,697
- I know we didn't get off
on the right foot,

839
00:38:17,731 --> 00:38:19,799
but I wanted to say thank you.

840
00:38:19,833 --> 00:38:22,068
Those photos of me?

841
00:38:22,102 --> 00:38:23,003
Never saw the light of day.

842
00:38:23,036 --> 00:38:24,804
- Yeah, well,
not everyone was so lucky.

843
00:38:24,838 --> 00:38:26,473
- I know.

844
00:38:26,506 --> 00:38:27,974
I guess I played
a part in that, didn't I?

845
00:38:28,008 --> 00:38:29,809
- I guess you did
the right thing

846
00:38:29,843 --> 00:38:31,044
when it counted.

847
00:38:31,077 --> 00:38:32,746
- Silver lining is,
I got wrongfully

848
00:38:32,779 --> 00:38:35,382
terminated from my old job.

849
00:38:35,415 --> 00:38:37,784
- You did?
- Yeah.

850
00:38:37,817 --> 00:38:40,453
I realized after
Kelsey interviewed me.

851
00:38:40,487 --> 00:38:42,489
- Wait, Kelsey Sommers
interviewed you?

852
00:38:42,522 --> 00:38:44,024
- Yeah, she told me
I was a part of a,

853
00:38:44,057 --> 00:38:46,793
uh, protected class,
a victim of a crime.

854
00:38:46,826 --> 00:38:49,662
So my last employer
couldn't technically fire me,

855
00:38:49,696 --> 00:38:52,365
so I'm suing now.
[chuckles]

856
00:38:54,100 --> 00:38:55,402
- Congratulations.

857
00:38:57,437 --> 00:38:58,705
What's Kelsey
doing interviewing

858
00:38:58,738 --> 00:38:59,973
other victims, anyway?

859
00:39:00,006 --> 00:39:01,775
- I guess
she wasn't fired either.

860
00:39:01,808 --> 00:39:03,977
- It starts innocently enough--

861
00:39:04,010 --> 00:39:07,547
a match on a dating app,
a DM on Instagram.

862
00:39:07,580 --> 00:39:09,416
And you may think
you're too worldly

863
00:39:09,449 --> 00:39:12,118
to become ensnared,
but if you have a heart,

864
00:39:12,152 --> 00:39:14,487
it can be used against you
by criminals

865
00:39:14,521 --> 00:39:16,189
who are experts
in manipulating

866
00:39:16,222 --> 00:39:18,024
our need for human connection,

867
00:39:18,058 --> 00:39:19,893
as this reporter
went undercover

868
00:39:19,926 --> 00:39:21,728
to witness firsthand.

869
00:39:21,761 --> 00:39:22,929
- Undercover, huh?

870
00:39:22,962 --> 00:39:24,564
That your idea?

871
00:39:24,597 --> 00:39:26,599
- I may have had something
to do with it,

872
00:39:26,633 --> 00:39:29,002
but it was Kelsey's idea
to tell her bosses

873
00:39:29,035 --> 00:39:30,870
that she was working
on a story,

874
00:39:30,904 --> 00:39:33,707
and she is playing it
beautifully.

875
00:39:33,740 --> 00:39:35,208
- Big brother taking a plea?

876
00:39:35,241 --> 00:39:37,944
- Oh, even his lawyer
is not reckless enough

877
00:39:37,977 --> 00:39:39,145
to let this go to trial,

878
00:39:39,179 --> 00:39:41,147
not with the evidence
Carisi has.

879
00:39:41,181 --> 00:39:44,217
- Yeah, well, this isn't
doing him any favors.

880
00:39:44,250 --> 00:39:46,019
- From outside
the Manhattan courthouse,

881
00:39:46,052 --> 00:39:50,156
I'm Kelsey Sommers for 1NYC.

882
00:39:50,190 --> 00:39:52,992
- So you really
caught these guys?

883
00:39:53,026 --> 00:39:54,494
- Well, it turns out
that they've been

884
00:39:54,527 --> 00:39:58,198
extorting hundreds of people.

885
00:39:58,231 --> 00:40:03,703
You know, teenagers,
single people, older people.

886
00:40:03,737 --> 00:40:05,105
Anyone vulnerable,

887
00:40:05,138 --> 00:40:08,074
anybody with enough money
to pay them.

888
00:40:08,108 --> 00:40:10,677
- And you're sure these are
the guys behind my case?

889
00:40:10,710 --> 00:40:12,846
- So TARU is still going
through the electronics,

890
00:40:12,879 --> 00:40:17,150
but we did find the video
that was used to extort you,

891
00:40:17,183 --> 00:40:20,754
and we seized, uh,

892
00:40:20,787 --> 00:40:24,157
a significant amount of assets.

893
00:40:24,190 --> 00:40:28,161
- So I get my money back?

894
00:40:28,194 --> 00:40:29,929
- Well, that's gonna take
a little bit of time,

895
00:40:29,963 --> 00:40:32,098
because everything
that we recovered

896
00:40:32,132 --> 00:40:34,801
has to be processed
as evidence,

897
00:40:34,834 --> 00:40:39,939
but, eventually, yes.

898
00:40:39,973 --> 00:40:42,075
And NYPD is gonna
write you a check.

899
00:40:42,108 --> 00:40:43,677
- [laughs]

[soft music]

901
00:40:46,546 --> 00:40:50,817
I've been in limbo for a year,

902
00:40:50,850 --> 00:40:54,554
not able to make a decision
about my future

903
00:40:54,587 --> 00:40:58,058
or what that even looks like.

904

get your money back,

905
00:41:00,260 --> 00:41:03,963
I think you're gonna be
surprised

906
00:41:03,997 --> 00:41:06,966
at all the options you have.

907
00:41:07,000 --> 00:41:09,135
- Well, after what happened,
it's--

908
00:41:09,169 --> 00:41:12,005
it's hard to believe that.

909
00:41:12,038 --> 00:41:15,075
- Well, don't trust me.

910
00:41:15,108 --> 00:41:17,077
Trust yourself.
