- In the nation's largest city,
the vicious and violentmembers of the underworld
are hunted by the detectives
of the OrganizedCrime Control Bureau.
These are their stories.
- Curtis McCrary, FBI.
- Junior Suarez's DNAwas found at the murder
of a HOA president?
- I'm glad thatbitch got killed.
- Must be somemistake at the lab.
And these walls?They move for no man.
- Inmates that get a requestfor a hit from the outside,
so then they earn anunofficial furlough.
- Junior Suarez, hegets paid for one hit
when none of the otherconvicts get paid for theirs.
So the money thathe sends his sister
had to have been earned fromsomewhere else... where?
- What can you tell meabout your attacker?
He knew my name.
- When he was done,he took a selfie.
- We're looking at some kindof market for revenge rape.
- I had nothing to dowith Maria being attacked.
- OC is working two murders.
DNA from both scenesmatches one of our rapes.
Maria Varga.
- I think you and I areworking the same case
from opposite ends.
- Okay, partner.
Olivia Benson, meetRachel Lee Sprague.
- Your HOA lady.- Mm-hmm.
- Talk about an outlier.
- 57-year-old female,Staten Island,
murdered by a BX9inmate, Junior Suarez,
who goes on to rape your nanny.
- Okay, uh...- Smells bad, doesn't it?
- Uh, yeah, it does.
Kind of like a cop who hasn'tshowered in a couple days.
- Hmm.
Well, look, you know,I just...
Where did that end?
- You talk to the neighbors?
- Mm-hmm. They all hated her.
- Why?- Power trip.
You know, she was a stickler,
so she was finingpeople left and right
about the smallstuff in fractions.
My mother, Detective Bernie,
thinks that she was acting out,
she was in pain because she'drecently lost her husband.
- You're wearing yourwedding ring again.
- I'm not Rachel Lee Sprague.I found it in a drawer.
And don't do that.
You're doing that with the eyes,
with the head cock andthe dime-sized pupils.
- It's called empathy.
I saw her.
Kathy.
- Okay. Where?
- Over there,
sitting down ina... hospital gown.
Just kind of, like,waiting to be interrogated.
Well, maybe she wantedto interrogate you.
- I'm not losing my mind.
- Okay.
Well, El, you know,
if there's, um, onething that I've learned
after all these years,it's that, um...
if we don't deal with ourtrauma, the world will.
- I'm not a victim.
- But you are a survivor.
And sometimes,that's just as hard.
- We need to find out
who paid Suarez todo these things.
So let's head backup to Green Haven.
- Good.- Good.
In the meantime,
I would get some sleep.
- Yo, yo, why you making a mess?
- 'Cause we know you had acell phone in there somewhere.
- We're not allowed.
- So this girl...
your DNA is allover her rape kit.
- Yo, this is my home,man! Take it easy!
- Yo.
How'd you get thejob to rape her?
There it is. You see that?- I certainly did.
Like a little boywho just stole a 20
out of his mama's purse.
- What are you gonna do? I'malready in jail for life.
- Junior, who paid you?
- I was moonlighting.
Like you cops do when youwork security at Walmart.
- Found something.
- That's not mine.- It's not?
No?
- Well, then you won'tmind if we take it with us.
- Let's go to theprison library,
check out the computers.
- Yo, yo, yo, yo!
My parole documentsare in there, man!
- I already took your eye.
Don't make me takeyour tongue, too.
Captain Benson.
- 100 or so open rapes
perpetrated by knownBX9 recruiters.
Oscar Papa putthe hit out on me.
- I'm sorry you were hurt...- Mom!
- It pains me more thatyour son was traumatized...
- If you say one moreword about my son,
it will be your last.
- You are likeASMR for the soul.
- Is there a problem?
- We were just on Questlaw,doing legal research.
- Yeah, well, that'sgonna have to wait.
- Who are these guys?
- Well, this charmer right here
likes to decorate treeswith women's misery.
- Were you why I had to goup to Woodstock and get Noah?
That who you are?
- Huh?
Keep doingwhat you're doing.
- Yeah?
Hey! Elliot.
Stop.
- Captain, I'm glad you gotsomebody who cares for you.
You deserve that.
- I wish you hadn't done that.
- If someone tried to kill me...- I'd kill him.
- Well, then, compared to you,I showed remarkable restraint.
- He gave me hisword. Noah is safe.
Protect the case, not me.
He gaveyou his word? Okay.
Look, these guys are notgonna tell us who hired 'em.
- Neither canRachel Lee Sprague.
- All right, well,
while Jet is workingthe computers,
maybe Bell can meet with theone person who cantalk...
Your rape victim.
- Sarge, Maria Varga's here.
Rape vic Benson sent us.
- Yeah, let her in.
Hi, Maria. I am SergeantBell. Have a seat.
Did SVU tell you why wewanted to meet with you?
- Captain Benson said
there might be abreak in my rape case.
What's it have to dowith organized crime?
- Well, we havereason to believe
that what happened to you
may have involvedmoney changing hands.
- Are you saying someonepaid to have me raped?
- And we want to stop it fromhappening to someone else.
- If I showed you some pictures,
would you be able to pointout the man who attacked you?
- That's him. That'sthe man who raped me.
He didn't even tryto hide his face.
- That's very helpful.Thank you, Maria.
- The original detectives said
that there was some sortof mix-up at the lab,
that the DNA on my kitbelonged to some guy in prison.
- Yeah, he was in prisonand they let him out.
- To hurt me?
- That's what we'reinvestigating.
- I'm really sorry.
I know this is difficult,
but is there anybodyin your life,
maybe a man you rejected,
that would've paidto see you raped?
- I told SVU thereare no men in my life.
- Well, SVU mentioned that
you had a sexual relationshipwith your previous employer.
- Yeah. Derek. Weslept together once.
- Is there any reason hemight want to hurt you?
- Maria ID'd JuniorSuarez as her rapist,
but she's nevermet the guy before.
- We already know thatSuarez didn't get this job
out of the GreenHaven whisper network.
He got it from anoutside source,
so the question is how and who?
- What about the guyMaria nannied for?
- Derek Scully?- Mm-hmm.
- SVU interviewedhim. He denied it.
- Yeah. Jet, did we getanything off the phone
that we found in Suarez'cell this morning?
- Some Bitcoin transfers. 25k.
- The Bitcoin, heturned it into cash
and gave it to his sister.
- Where'd the Bitcoin come from?
- All anonymous.Went through a mixer.
- Pretty sophisticatedfor a mid-level banger.
- How 'bout the computers
that we got out of theGreen Haven library?
- Drives are clean, mostly.
Prison system puts censorshipprotocols on all its computers.
- Anything else?- Yes.
Some enterprising, youngbanger jerry-rigged the port.
Probably used for anexternal hard drive
to bypass proxy servers.
- That's how theygot to the internet.
- Mm-hmm.- Email, social media?
- Anything and everything.- So Junior Suarez might've
gotten the job to rapeMaria online after all.
- Mm.
- Whelan and I can headback to Green Haven,
try and find thatexternal drive.
- I think it's long gone.Suarez knows we're onto him.
But...
How 'bout if we approachthis from the opposite end?
Meaning?
- Get Derek Scully's computer
to see if he hadcontact with Suarez.
- What do you say?
- We're gonna need anelectronic search warrant.
- Mm-hmm.- So I'll reach out to the ADA.
You two, I need you to paya visit to the Scullys.
- I don't understand. Youwant Derek's computer?
- Not just his.
We're here for every laptop,iPad, phone in the house.
- We'll also bestopping by your office
and confiscatingyour devices as well.
- A'ight, come on in.- May I see the warrant?
- Yeah. You can showus where to look
or we'll be happy to redecorate.
- You should see the last place.
They tore that thingdown to the studs.
- I already told SVU
I had nothing to dowith Maria's rape.
- He was here with me all night.
- Well, that may be true,
but somebody paid forMs. Varga to be raped.
- Mm-hmm, since we haveno other suspects...
- What, you're just hereto destroy our family?
- Derek, why don'tyou make this easier
on your wife and kids andcome talk to us in the car?
- So you can arrest me?
- So you're sayingthere's a reason for that?
- Look, this whole thing
is straight out ofsome kind of nightmare.
It's clear someone'ssetting me up.
You think I wantedto get Maria raped?
- Considering yourrecent affair.
The anger you must'vefelt when it ended...
- Stop!
You don't need to takeDerek's computer or his iPad.
You can just take mine.
- To be clear,
my client is in no wayassociated with BX9,
a murder-for-hirescheme in Green Haven,
or a Junior Suarez.
- We're not saying she is.
She's just a normal,everyday wife and mother.
- As well as beingan accessory to rape.
- I'm not a rapist.
I'm not, I'm not!
- That may very wellbe true, Ms. Scully,
but right now, you'refacing a rape one charge.
- Can't you do something?- While you were home,
tucking your children into bed,
the woman who used to carefor them was being raped.
- With the kids thatshe now nannies for
right in the next room.
- Now, that is dark,even for a sociopath.
- Where'd you get yourpsychology degree?
- 30 years of human depravity.
- All right, look.
We're getting aheadof ourselves here.
Ms. Scully is in possession
of invaluablematerial information.
- And before she spills it,you want to make a deal.
- I'm a defense attorney.That's how this works.
She talks, you givesome concessions.
- What's the ask?
- Total indemnification.
- For facilitatingrape? Try again.
- Okay, how about this?
She tells useverything she knows
and then we tell youhow valuable it is.
- Okay.
Why did you hire JuniorSuarez to rape your ex-nanny?
She slept with my husband.
- Oh, so it waspurely vindictive?
- Derek and I are trying.
My life will never be the same.
- Well, neither will hers, now.
- I don't evenknow Junior Suarez.
- So how'd you getin touch with him?
He...
A woman at work heard mecrying in the bathroom...
and she told me about a website.
It's called Shadowerk.
- Shadowerk. Umlauts.
- German?
I'm guessing this isn't asite you just stumble across.
- You need a Tor browser.
And you need to be invited.
- How's it work?
- It's like Kickstarter.
But for human depravity.
- Hmm.
- You pay in Bitcoin and atotal stranger takes the job.
- So weaponized anonymity?
- To hide rape, murder.
- Whatever... you want done.
- Okay, are we satisfied?
You want indemnity?
Invite us in.
- Gretchen Scully isn'tgonna be arrested, is she?
- Well, it's not my favoriteaspect about the case,
but yeah, if she cooperates.
- Access to the site is key.
- I'm only asking because
I think it's better ifwe don't process her.
- Why?
- Because anyone who runsa murder-for-hire site
is bound to bepretty sophisticated.
- You think they might have eyes
on the NYPD booking server?
- That's what I woulddo if I was them.
- Noted.
- You almost in?
- Registering a username, and...
- Goodness.- Gretchen wasn't kidding.
- Uber Eats for violent crime.
- And there's a wholelot of open jobs.
Look at this.
Someone wants to break arival cheerleader's legs.
- Is there a pagefor completed jobs?
Yeah, right here.
- There's Maria Varga.
- I'll let Benson know.
- And your HOA president,Rachel Lee Sprague.
- So once again,the Pareto Principle
turns out to be right.
- 20% of the perpscommit 80% of the crimes.
Hang on.
Her murder was crowdfunded.
Shows nine anonymous users.
- And I think I know exactlywhat street they live on.
- So which one of these NIMBYSdo you think is the ringleader?
- Well, obviously, we won't know
until we look attheir computers,
but if I were to guess,I'd say Julius next door.
Rachel kept fining him forleaving his Hanukkah lights up.
- Oh. My neighborshate when I do that.
- And you wonder why
your invite to the holidayparty always gets lost.
- My taxes putbread on your table.
You high-steppinggestapo bastard!
Hey, I want your nameand badge number!
To think it all startedwith an election sign.
- Trump-Biden, or?
- No, the homeowner'sassociation.
Rachel was a bitch beforeshe won, but afterwards?
She was an unholy terror.
- Power just went to her head.
- Yeah, we all havea Rachel in our life.
- Phyllis Jackson would'vebeen a better choice
for HOA leadership, but, uh,
neighborhood didn'tthink it was ready
for a lesbian president.
- So you all had Rachel killed?
- Shadowerk.
You're familiar with it, right?
- Vinny, our treasurer,knew about it.
He's an IT guy in the city.
- Okay, so how does that work?
You get together at a barbecueand start talking about murder?
- It was a Shabbat dinner.
- How much did you pitch in?
- Me? 500.
I thought it was a joke.
- Well, it wasn't.
Just ask Rachel LeeSprague's daughter.
- Yeah. She'sarranging a burial.
- Rachel had a kid?- Mm.
- I didn't know.
Am I going to jail for this?
Well, the bright side is, nowyou'll have new neighbors.
- Guys, it's urgent.
- I made a real-time heatmap
to track all theserevenge-for-hire jobs.
- These the open jobs?
- Japan, Belgium...- A few dozen countries.
- What's with the swords?
- Katanas, the neckbeardweapon of choice.
- Neckbeard?
- Kinda guy who lurkson Reddit all day,
fingers coated in a faintpatina of Cheeto dust.
- Okay, so we're not lookingat an international ring
of techno-jihadists?
- My guess, basedon the umlaut alone,
the guy's a total chode.
Katana with no bloodmeans a job's been taken,
but not yet completed.
- So when there isblood, let me guess.
- Population of Kyotojust dropped by one.
This isbigger than us.
The feds are gonna have tohandle the rest of the country.
- And overseas?
- Interpol. Used to dealwith them a lot in Vice.
There's an agent I workedpretty closely with
on my old DEA task force.
- Make a call.- All right.
- Someone justtook a job nearby.
- Throgs Neck.
- After someone'saccepted a job,
what's the window of opportunity
to have that completed?
- Timer starts at 24hours, then ticks down.
- I'm assuming bad thingshappen when it gets to zero.
- If it's not completed,
it just keeps gettingre-listed until it is.
- Well, you and me...Let's go to the Bronx
and, uh, get there beforewhoever accepted it does.
- Any way to shutthis thing down?
- It's decentralized,
bouncing off multiple computers.
Whoever designed it is tryingreally hard to stay anonymous.
- So how do we find him?
- Well, a name would help.
And there's nothingassociated with the site?
- No.
But those selfiesBenson mentioned,
they gotta be emailed somewhere.
- What's the matter?Coffee's no good?
- Tastes likeChock Full O' Nuts.
- Then why'd you bring us here?
- I always just coverit with sugar anyway.
- Look, Mr. Longo, someoneput a hit out on you.
- Any ideas?
- I got three ex-wives.
- Okay. You want tonarrow that down for us?
- Why does the NYPD careabout a hit on a guy like me?
Shouldn't you be out makingquality-of-life collars
like every other humpwith a badge in this city?
- We're glad you holdus in such high regard.
- We're Organized Crime.
We think the hit is partof something larger.
- An online thing.
- What, you mean likeFacebook or something?
- You ever hear of Shadowerk?
It's a website wherepeople get paid for, uh,
freelance hits.
- That's stupid.
When I was coming up,
about 40 years ago,
we did hits theold-fashioned way.
- That a confession?- I'm kidding.
- Are you gonnacooperate with us or not?
- Yeah, 'cause we need to catchwhoever's coming to kill you.
- So you can flip him and findout who's paying him and why.
- More or less.
- Well, how much areyou gonna pay me?
- What do you mean, pay you?We're trying to save your life.
Can you believe this guy?- No.
Allright, we tried.
- No! Come on, come on, guys.
Sit down, come on, relax.
Take it easy.I'll help you out.
Relax.
- You'll help us?
- What do you want me to do?
- Got a clear view ofLongo's front door.
- Any other entry points?
- Just the window, butit's a long way down.
- All right. Nothingat the door. All clear.
- Yo!
You crazy. Who you talking to?
- Vladimir Putin.He lives right here.
You hear him?
- Here. It's good.My mom just made it.
- Oh, man. That'sreally sweet.
Hey.
Mm.
- How you holding up, Gary?
- I lost money on theWood Memorial Stakes
out at Aqueduct,but I'm all right.
- Yo, Reyes, what's upwith all the chewing?
- Some kid gave me a sandwich.
- We got a Core Global guy
pulling into thefront of the building.
Shaky.
- Yeah, I'd be shaky, too,
if I was delivering packagesin this neighborhood.
- It was a deal.
- I bet.
That's him. What should I do?
- You expecting anything?
- Other than anon-negligible part
of my self-esteemwrapped up in how much
this scumbag is gettingpaid to kill me, no.
- Well, I hate to break it toyou, but it's only 2 grand.
- Jesus Christ! That's it?
- Just buzz him in.
- All right, everybodyget ready to move in.
- Core Global!
- I'll sign for it.
You must be delivering thatSIG Sauer P229 I ordered.
- Hey. Police.Don't move. NYPD.
- Leave it on the ground now.
- Before you end upthere too. Come on.
- Do you think Ican make a call?
Where am I going?- Relax.
- 2 grand? You were planningto end me for 2 grand?
What cheap son ofa bitch sent you?
- Back off, backoff. Relax, relax.
Son...
What's your name?
- Josh.
- Josh, you have nofuture in this business.
- But you can change...
what is about to happen to you.
- How long am I gonna be here?
- It's attempted murder, Josh,not the express checkout line.
- I wasn't even gonna doit. I wasn't, I wasn't!
- Mm-hmm.
So why'd you signup for the job?
- I-I needed the money.
The ad said he kept abunch of cash in the house.
- So you were justgonna rob the guy?
What'd you needthat much cash for?
- I'm saving up.- Right. For what?
- An engagement ring.
- Well, Josh, we might beable to cut you a deal.
I'm listening.
- You got the hitthrough Shadowerk.
So you were supposedto take a selfie
over the victim's body, correct?
- I told you I wasn't gonnakill the guy. I wasn't!
- We know what you told us,but we want you to help us.
So you were gonnasend that selfie to?
- No Bitcoin withoutproof, right?
- Everything goes throughthis guy named Hyakunin Giri.
- Japanese guy associatedwith a German site?
- Yeah. I guess.
- Sarge, his mother's here.
- Jail must be looking prettygood for you right about now.
See what you canfind on this email account.
Some guy named Hyakunin Giri.
Where is Josh? Can I see him?
Ms. Crocklin,
we apprehended your son in themiddle of an attempted murder.
- What are you talking about?
My Josh is just a kid.
- He's 27.
Do you recognize this?
- Looks familiar.- Well, it should.
Because it's registered to you.
- Josh can't remember to puthis clothes in the hamper,
and you're telling me that
he stole the gun that Iuse for home protection
and was going to use itin some sort of murder?
- There's a website he found
that can explainsome of his behavior.
Look, Josh doesn'thave a record.
He's been very cooperative,so if he keeps it up,
we might be able tomake some kind of deal.
- What do you need?
- His computer.
All right, cool.
- Wait. We're done here?
- Yeah. Yeah, we're good.- What? What, that's it?
You guys are leaving?- Yeah.
You'll be fine. Relax.- Yeah?
Is that what you say to allyour attempted murder victims?
- Look, after this photo,
you'll be markeddead on the site.
Look.
Can't you guys put me
in witness protectionor something?
- Look, Gary, like I said,the guy's in custody.
You're no longer a target, okay?
None of this rises tothe level of WITSEC.
- Yeah, but my addressis already out there.
Every scumbag with Wi-Fiis gonna come looking
for the money I gotstashed under my mattress.
- Have you everthought about retiring?
- Where?- You got family out of town?
- My sister in Fort Lauderdale.
- Attaboy.
There we go. All right?
Pack up.
We'll drive you to the airport.
- We're closing in on the guy,
and obviously, I'll keepyou up-to-date on it.
Yeah. Look, hold on.
So Captain Bensonhas just informed me
they arrested four individuals
who ordered the rape oftheir exes on the site.
- That's great.- Yeah.
- It's official. Reyesis a paid killer.
Onejust popped up in Sydney.
Nothing normalizesviolent crimes
like a good user interface.
- Well, according toReyes' contact at Interpol,
the cops at Antwerpintercepted that hit in Belgium
that we came across.- This is good news.
- And where the hellhave you two been?
- Whelan and Ijust put Gary Longo
on a flight to Florida.
- Mm. Fate worse than death.
- You get anything onthat Core Global kid?
- Yeah, his computer.- And we got the email address
of the guy we sentthat fake selfie to.
- Who is he?
- Name's Hyakunin Giri.And we got his IP address.
Server's locatedin Dublin, Ohio.
- It's like you said, though.
The guy's site is decentralized,
so it's bouncing frommultiple computers.
- Well, the real question is,
is he physicallyin Dublin, Ohio?
- Only one way to tell.
Get a court order to surveilthe physical address.
- In Ohio?- Out of our jurisdiction.
- But it's not out of McCrary's.
- Yeah, and he does owe us.
We got Uncle Sam's$2 million back.
- It's a good place to start.- Yeah. All right.
Oh!
Reyes' fake hit registered.
And 2 grand just hit JoshConklin's crypto account,
along with a gif.
- Guess he's notjust some neckbeard
trying to make a few bucks.
- No, he's a psychopath thatwants to watch the world burn.
- Alamut Castle, amountain fortress
located in what ispresent-day Iran.
It's legendary for its gardens,
but also known as
the fabled birthplacefor modern terrorism.
Does anyone knowwhat "Alamut" means?
- Yeah?- "Eagle's nest." In Farsi.
- Also known as theNest of Punishment.
But, uh, this isn't about birds.
This is about one man'svery dangerous idea.
Hasan-e Sabbah, the manthat owned Alamut Castle,
also inventedmodern-day assassin.
So his legend goes hewould go into the village,
recruit young men, invitethem back to dinner,
and have them drugged.
And they would wakeup in his lush gardens
with fountains filled withwine and nude maidens...
72 nude maidens...
- Sounds like paradise to me.- Okay.
Yeah, well, the menbelieved they had died
and gone to paradise.
After living likethat for a few weeks,
Sabbah would have themdrugged once again
and they would wakeup at his table,
rudely yanked backinto normal life.
And then he would offerthem a way back to paradise.
Um, is anyone...
anyone able to articulate why
this was such an effectivemethod of warfare?
Yeah, sir?
- Well, if you canconvince someone
that their death has morevalue than their life...
- Go on.
- You create a verydangerous individual.
Well, first of all,congratulations.
Happily married andthree kids, huh?
- Did not think thatwas on my bingo card.
- Yeah, well, I'm happy.
For you and for Carisi.
Does Liv know?
Word on the street is Carisicouldn't keep his mouth shut.
So she left me a message, but...
- So you owe her a call?- Yeah.
Um, how can I help you?
- Well, we're trackingsomeone who has started
a revenge-for-hirefactory online.
- I'm intrigued.- You need a Tor browser.
And it's a...
A site that posts murdersand rapes-for-hire.
They upload thevic's information
and whoever wants it,
they got 24 hoursto complete the job.
- Then what?
- They take a selfie for proof
that it has, infact, been completed,
they hash it so itremains anonymous,
and get paid in crypto.
- And you can'ttake down the site
until you know who built it.
- We have a name.Hyakunin Giri.
- Uh...- Yeah, I googled it.
The Japanese competition.
- Right, where thegoal of the contest
is to see who can kill100 people with one sword.
I did a lecture on that, too.
- We have an address.Dublin, Ohio.
- And you want toknow who lives there?
- I feel as though it'sa lot like the, uh,
the mindset of that Sabbahguy that you were discussing.
- Hmm.- Weaponizing individuals.
Turning strangers,even people without
any kind of criminal backgroundinto murderers and rapists.
- Right. Well, there'sa thrill there.
- Mm-hmm?- It's someone who feels
completely powerlessin his own life.
He's looking to create chaos
like a toddler knockingdown a block castle.
Yeah, they get tofeel in control.
- Mm.
I gotta tell you,
you looked way more excited here
than you did inthat lecture hall.
How long have you been bored?
- The truth?- Well, you could lie to me,
but I do interrogatepeople for a living.
- I love the students,
but I do miss the feelingof solving a good mystery.
- Carisi know?
- That I'm bored?
I mean...
No, it'd break his heart.
He's the one thatgot me the job.
How 'bout Liv?
You, of all people,
should know how she reactswhen people leave her.
- I see your quandary.
Well, hell, I'velived your quandary.
Well, I think you andI can help each other.
- How's that?
- I bring a little bit moremystery into your life.
And, uh,
you work up a psych profileon this Hyakunin Giri.
All right.
- Jet?
- That fed McCrary ishere, and he's pissed.
- Well, okay. Youwant to tell me why?
- There's a new hit on the site.
I just sent you the info.
- Barbara Zeigler.Federal judge?
- Not just any judge.She's a personal friend.
- Explains how you got
the electronic surveillancewarrant so fast.
- Now I can't get a hold of her.
- The unfortunatepart of all this
is that now, someguy in Dublin, Ohio
knows we're monitoring him.
- Now he's monitoring us.
- Can't say I didn't warn you.
- You were worried aboutthe NYPD booking services,
not federal warrant systems.
- Judge Zeigler'soffice, please.
- Got Unis on theway to her house now.
- Any response fromZeigler herself?
- No. She's not picking up.
Her clerk says shestopped for lunch,
but the restaurant saysshe's not there, either.
- Five Bitcoin. What'sthat worth right now?
- About $130,000.- That's a big incentive.
- Yeah, we gottaget to her first.
- You two, callthe local precinct.
Try to get themto trace the route
from that restaurant to home.
- Tragedy struck just momentsago in downtown Manhattan
when a federal judgewas shot and killed
while driving in her car.The police have not...
- Another quasi-civilizedperson-turned-murderer?
For all we know,
the mastermind who mayor may not be in Dublin
likely ordered the hit.
- Well, he just took it toanother level with Zeigler.
It's personal.
- El, Ayanna.
The judge is dead?
- Yeah. She was McCrary'spersonal friend.
So I'ma go check on him.
I'll link up withyou guys later.
- Okay.
- Why?
- Well, we think it'sa paid hit in response
to an electronic surveillancewarrant that she issued for us.
- This guy'slooking for somebody
to rise to this challenge.
- Well, challenge accepted.
Jet has an IP address
out of an escrowoffice in Dublin, Ohio.
We're waiting on a warrantfor physical surveillance.
- Okay, good. Sowe're slow-playing it.
- Mm-hmm.
If we're hasty, he justgets a Tor address,
he sets up his operationsomewhere else,
and we're back to square one.
- Ugh, Ohio.- Yeah.
- Feds are gonna haveto run point on that.
- That would be McCrary,and Bell would be with him.
- All right. What aboutinternational crimes?
- Interpol through acontact that Reyes has.
- Well, if they need anyresources or need space,
let 'em know they canset up shop with us.
- Yeah, and there's someone else
I'd like to involve in the case.
With your blessing, Ithink she'd be an asset.
- What acronym?- There is none.
She's out of the private sector.
- Okay. Who is it?
- Hey, uh, sorry to interrupt.
- Amanda?
- Hey. I-I can wait.I'm just double parked.
- Well, congratulations,by the way.
- Surprise.- Not really.
Carisi can't keep a secret.
- Yeah, he's a greatlawyer, not a great witness.
- No. He breaksunder pressure.
- Yeah.
I've been meaning to call you.
- So I had Rollins, uh,work up a psych profile
of the guy we're after.
- Okay. Surprises all around.
- Get down to business?
- Yeah, so you're lookingfor someone Caucasian,
younger, mid-20s.
He's disaffected,disenfranchised,
antisocial, highly intelligent,
and from a lower-middleclass family.
But he's more sophisticatedthan the expectations
put on him fromthose around him,
and he's frustratedwith that social circle.
He'd be fine socially withpeople older or younger,
but as it is,
he might be entirelydevoid of friends
from his own peer group.
- Okay. Anything else?
- Well, I think it's safe to say
that he's got afascination with systems.
And he sees thewhole world as one,
and it's been cruel to him.
He understands thecriminal pathology
that's lurking within himself.
The site is a call of the void
for others who mighthave similar thoughts,
but are afraid to act on them.
- In fear of being caught.- Yeah.
He's weaponized anonymity...
and he'll doanything to keep it.
That's for sure.
- Any questions?
