Law & Order: Organized Crime (2021–…): Season 2, Episode 21 - Streets Is Watching - full transcript

- 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.

- I think my father
staged a shooting

when he was on the job.

- Do you have evidence?

- Not yet,
but I know where to get it.

- You bought a gun

and are apparently
prepared to commit murder.



- The man killed our father.

- I never should've told you.

- Somebody robbed Ulrich's
place before we got there.

- Maybe that's exactly
what you want me to think.

- Mr. Webb,
I'd never double-cross you.

- Raymond Moss,
the owner of the print

they pulled off the rental van.

Don't move.

- Who hired you
to go in Ulrich's house

- and take the money?
- I'm not saying a damn thing.

- A little girl went missing
this morning from a bodega...

Sara Santos.

- I need to pay them $100,000
to get Sara back.

So I asked Frank for the money.



- The cash that
Donnelly gave Rosario,

the serial numbers
match the money

that you and Donnelly
dropped at Ulrich's.

- Donnelly is settin' you up
to take the fall.

- We gotta deal with it
head-on.

What's on my agenda tonight?

- Zoom with Karlo Capital
at 7:00.

Drinks with
the Dubai contingent at 8:30.

Massage at 10:00.

- Cancel Karlo
and move up the massage.

- Mr. Efremov, Valerie Price.

Would you care
to comment on the report

that your family's
potash mines in Laos

are an environmental
catastrophe waiting to happen?

- Fake news.

Call my
corporate communications.

I'll be happy
to sit down for an interview

and disabuse you of my haters.

Now, if you'll
please excuse me.

- Mr. Efremov, Mr. Efremov,

just... all I need
is just one comment.

One comment! One...

♪

- Wait here, please.

- One moment, sir. Thank you.

- Let's go, let's go,
let's go, ah?

- Uh-uh.

♪

All clear.

I will reschedule the massage.

I'm across the hall
if you need anything.

- I never do.

♪

Jet, I need your help.
Got a sec?

- Bring it.

- These slugs, they were fired
into a tree 40 years ago.

- 40 years ago?
- Mm-hmm.

- Wow.
- It's super well-preserved.

- I guess the bark formed
a protective pocket around it.

Anyway, that friend of yours
in Ballistics,

think she can
get anything of 'em?

- What are you looking for?
- The gun that fired 'em.

- Oh, my friend is the me
of guns and bullets, so...

I'll ask her.

- Well, if she's
half as good as you,

I know she'll deliver.

- Stabler.

Nova's got something. Let's go.

♪

Nova, you okay?

- Look like
you've seen a ghost.

- I hope not.

- Webb ordered a hit.
- Okay, on who?

- Detective Stabler.

Man, you've been greenlit.

♪

♪

♪

- Hey.
- What the holy hell are you

- doing out here?
- I'm puttin' in that hot tub

you've been complaining about
for the last five months.

- Seriously, babe?
- It is 5:30

in the freakin' morning.

You're gonna wake the baby.

- Honey, you know how
I've been tellin' you

I've been saving
for a rainy day?

- Yeah.
- It's rainin'.

Oh, my God.

- You can't tell me that I have
to move out for my own safety

and then tell me not to worry.

- You're packed.
- It's a formality.

It's just part of the job,
Mama.

- Yeah, yeah, that's just
what your father used to say.

He was lying then,
and you're lying now.

- Dad, listen to Grandma.

We need to know why we're being
shipped off to Kathleen's.

There's cops sitting outside.

- That's out of
an abundance of caution.

It's just for a little while,
just to be on the safe side.

- A little while.
- Well, I'm not going anywhere

till you tell me
what's going on.

- Look.

There was a threat, okay?
And that's all there is to it.

- Th... threat?
- Who threatened you?

- I can't talk about that.
- Elliot, I'm your mother!

- This is a situation
that's just... it's gonna pass.

We're gonna go
right back to normal.

We'll go to Maine.
We'll get an Airbnb.

We'll fish. We'll hike.

We'll do all that nature stuff.
How does that sound?

- That sounds like
something you say to get

people to stop
asking you questions.

♪

- How are things
with your family?

I moved them into Kathleen's.

- I'm putting a car
on her building

and a rotating tail
on you 24/7.

Cho, Maldonado,
you're up first.

- Copy.
- We've got your back, Stabler.

- I know you do.

So what's the latest intel
from Nova?

- I'm not sure,

but I'm getting a list
of Marcy Killer triggermen.

- Could be a new recruit...

you know, someone
who wants to make their bones.

What's up?

- I don't know,
all this talk about hits

and hitmen, I just...
I feel really weird.

- No need to feel weird.
- I'm not goin' anywhere.

- Good to know.

- Look, something's
not adding up.

Why is Webb
making this move now?

- The guy
got robbed three times.

He's not
gettin' the money back,

he's gonna get
his street cred back,

and someone's gonna pay for it.

- But if we can
get him his money back,

then we can fix this.

- Yeah, we could,
but Raymond Moss

is not giving up who hired him,
so that's a dead-end.

- So let's look the other way,
the Ulrich mansion.

Who allowed Moss to gain access

and walk out of there
with all that cash?

The robbery
at Ulrich's mansion...

we have reason to believe
you were involved.

- That's ridiculous.

- There wasn't a scratch
on the safe.

We checked
with the household staff.

Besides you,
Ulrich was the only one

that knows the security code.

- The household staff?
- That's your evidence?

- Well, there's also this.

- You recognize these men?
- Should I?

- One of these two cops asked
you to steal the money back.

Don't deny it.
I know they were there.

I know you talked to 'em.
Which one?

- That one.

♪

- Frank, hey. We gotta talk.

- What?
- We gotta talk.

- No, in here.

- No, there are people
in there.

- In here.

Guys, I need the room. Screw.

C'mon.

What's the rush?

What's up?

What'd you wanna talk about?

- Let's talk about the heist.

- What heist?

- Ulrich mansion heist.

- Yeah, what about it?

- You knew that safe
was gonna be empty, didn't you?

- I thought
it was a good possibility.

I didn't wanna go into
Fort Knox without a plan B.

- What does that mean, plan B?

- Well, I bribed Ulrich's
head of security in advance.

Made for a much easier job.

- Then what the hell
were we doin'?

Why did we go
to all the trouble then?

- Are you not listening?
- I just told you.

I had the head of security
in my back pocket

at a money launderer's mansion.

- I heard that.
- I figured, "Hey,

if there's money in the safe,
it's a plus."

Besides, it was
a good test for you.

- What...
- What does that mean, a test?

- They said
the safe was uncrackable.

You cracked it, okay?

Why do you think
I made you my number two?

Because you can handle
stuff like this.

Nobody else in my crew
could've done that,

pulled it off, all right?
Any other questions?

- Yeah, actually. Yeah.

- Why my credit card?
- What do you mean?

- Why'd you use my credit card
to rent that van?

Oh.

- Moss.
- Ah, Moss.

- Yeah, Moss.
- He's a McCutcheon's fly.

He's a wannabe avenger.
That's how I know, okay?

I told him to find a fall guy.

I had no friggin' idea
he was gonna pick you.

- How'd he get my credit card?
- I don't know, think about it!

Maybe that night you were
buying all the rounds...

maybe he grabbed
your credit card receipt

out of the garbage
or off the bar.

I can't believe you're accusing
me of this stuff, man.

We're brothers.
I've always had your back.

- Am I accusing you?

Hey, Jet.

You know that charge
on my credit card

having to do with
the renting of that van?

Right, right.

So what was the last charge
before that one?

McCutcheon's.

Ah, it's a bar tab.

Mm, no.

No, no. I'm just asking.

All right, yeah.
All right, bye.

Anything you wanna say to me?

No?

We good?

- What would you have done
if it was me?

Shoot you in the head.

As long as
you don't hold a grudge.

You...

- I need a little rest.
- I know.

- Yeah. You're a little tense.

♪

- Hey, bud, what's up?

- Grandma's having an episode.

- What does that mean,
an episode?

- She started talking about
the pharmaceutical industry.

That shifted to Grandpa Joe,

and... and the
"Real Housewives of Newark,"

which I don't think
is a thing.

- You know, they're called
succulents for a reason.

- Dad?

I'm worried about Grandma.

- If you give them too much
water, then they drown...

- Dad?
- Grandma's just...

she's out of her element,
you know?

It's been
a lot of change for her.

She's just unfamiliar
with her circumstances,

her surroundings,
you know what I'm saying?

So, um, do you know
if she's taking her meds?

- No.
- Put Kathleen on.

- Wait, who's on the phone?

- Put Kathleen on the phone.
- I need to know...

- What was that sound?

- Elliot, are you all right?
- Stabler!

You hit?

- Ah. No, no, no.

- Stabler, you good?
- I'm good, I'm good.

- I'm good.
- Where is he?

I don't see anyone.

- Are you all right?
- What was that?

- Call it in.
- Not yet.

- Elliot!
- Hey, Mama.

- Elliot, what was that noise?
- Are you all right?

- Are you hurt?
- No.

- Oh, thank God.
- I heard a loud noise.

- I'm all right.

- I thought something
terrible had happened.

- I'm all right.

I love you.
Everything's all right.

- Washed about 65K so far

through Kilbride's
library project.

- Let's keep that going.

Speaking of Kilbride...

- Give this to him when you can.
- Yes, Mr. Webb.

I didn't summon you.

- You touch me again,
I'll shoot you.

Everybody, stand down outside
except Nova.

♪

Stabler,

you are either out of
your mind, suicidal, or both.

- I had a little problem
outside my house last night.

- Maybe you should move
to a better neighborhood.

- I know you think
I took your money.

You know one thing
I know for certain?

You have no idea what I think.

- Call it off.

- Call what off?

- I have a lead
on who stole your money

out of Ulrich's safe.

with that little tidbit?

- You give me more time.

- I will have repayment
in the currency of my choosing.

You're out of time.

♪

- You kill a cop,
everything you've built

is gonna go
right down the toilet.

- Toilet, huh?

knee-high in a sewer.

Man, get yo' ass out my office.

♪

- Where were Cho and Maldonado?

- Right across the street
then right by my side.

We swept the area
and no sign of a shooter.

- I'm fine.
- Elliot, this is real.

- I know it's real.

- Webb took
a legitimate shot at you.

We need to move in on him.

- What are you
gonna charge him with,

hearsay evidence from an
undercover whose identity

we can't reveal
for her own protection?

- I'm gonna talk to Nova.

We need something,
something concrete ASAP.

- Got a hit.

Crime techs pulled a slug

out of a dumpster
near Stabler's apartment.

Striations were intact.

The bullet was traced back
to a gun that was used

in a high-profile killing
a few nights ago.

- High-profile killing where?

- Blakeshire Hotel
in Manhattan.

- Ilya Efremov.

- Global venture capitalist...

he's the latest victim
in a pattern of similar kills.

Auriel Madrid, Eugene Tucker,
Alejandro Rosales, Rohan Bhatt.

- Arms dealer, drug lord.

- Human trafficker
and hedge-fund fraudster.

- All killed
by an unknown assassin

within a span
of the last nine months.

- So Webb has outsourced
to a professional hit man?

- Or some kind of revenge cabal
with a social conscience.

- It doesn't sound like Webb.

Why wouldn't he give it
to a Marcy Killer?

- It's a little close to home.

You wanna whack a cop,

I think you wanna
maintain some distance, right?

- Want some help cleaning up?
- No, I got it.

I got it.

- No, you don't.

But thank you
for letting me off the hook.

- Good night, Jet.
