McCoy, Price, and Maroun are getting to work on charging Sirenko. Price, Maroun, and Benson ask the girl about the other person on the boat with Sirenko. They find out that the person is Daniel Rublev and he is friends with Putin. Stabler and Jet take down someone named Andre who knows a lot about Rublev. Price and Stabler are able to get enough evidence from Andre where McCoy allows Cosgrove and Shaw to arrest Rublev. Price wants to try trying both Sirenko and Rublev. Andre does not testify and the only other person to verify the phone video of Rublev and the two girls is the girl. Benson is trying to find a relative for her and has her in a safe house. Rollins tries taking her to see Benson but gets into a shootout and Rollins is almost killed in the process. Benson moves the girl to Canada with a relative which leaves Price infuriated. Price cannot extradite her so they decide to make a deal with Sirenko in exchange for a testimony. Stabler is infuriated at this as his CI was killed by Sirenko. After Sirenko testifies, Rublev requests a deal, which Price does not accept. As they leave, Rublev is shot and killed. Sirenko's operation is rolled up, and Benson is shown to have lied about Canada, as she meets in Central Park with the girl. This episode concludes a crossover event that begins on the season three premiere of Law & Order: Organized Crime and continues on the season twenty-four premiere of Law & Order: Special Victims Unit. |
