As Stabler confronts the truth about his father, he unknowingly affects his situation with the Brotherhood. The task-force works to track down Webb, who's gone off the grid. Donnelly will stop at nothing to ensure he isn't caught.
- 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 know
what I'm doing is right,
but it just feels
like betrayal.
- The only people looking out
for cops are other cops.
- I know you think
I took your money.
- I will have repayment.
You're outta time.
- People steal
$2 million from us,
and you just let that slide?
- Detective Stabler, man,
you've been greenlit.
- Tell me why
you killed my father.
You murdered him!
- Derrick!
Preston Webb is not
your business... he's mine.
- Nova's undercover work
has led to a discovery
of a relationship
between the Marcy Killers
and Congressman Leon Kilbride.
- So your father
was shot by his partner?
- Yeah, to cover up
a dirty shooting.
- How's your search
for the truth going?
Long,
complicated,
painful.
- All right,
so what is it this time?
- Well, I wanna talk to you
about your guns.
- What guns?
- You know that time
when I walked in on you,
and you were filing off the
serial number to one of 'em?
- Filing? I never
filed numbers off guns ever.
- I saw you, Gus.
- Well, you either
have a bad memory,
or you're a liar, son.
- Yeah, I thought
you'd say that.
But these here prove
that you're the liar, Gus.
- What's that?
- These are slugs that
I pulled out of that tree
that we used to do
target practice on
with that pearl-handled
.38 of yours.
You remember when I was a kid?
- You dug them out
of the freakin' tree?
- Yeah, and they're a match...
to you
and to that gun that you shot
my father in the leg with
and then planted
to frame that innocent kid.
- And your father got
a Combat Cross for that.
So what?
- You framed an innocent kid,
Gus.
- If your dad could
hear this...he'd be sick.
- If my father were here,
I'd be telling him
the same thing I'm telling you.
- Huh?
What, now you're
on some sort of mission?
- No mission.
I'm just doing my job, Gus.

he knows the police
are looking for him, right?

he's just being smart.
Maybe he's just laying low
until the heat blows over.
It'd be a good strategy.
I know he'll reach out to you.
- Wait, me?
- Yes... it would be
too dangerous
to try to contact me,
