Law & Order: Organized Crime

.

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.

- Officer down! - Officer down.

Officer down. I repeat.

Can't feel my legs.

Jamie, calm down.

What are you talking about?

The bullet went through his spine.

We're gonna need another medic now.

I can't live like this.

Hey.

What's up?

Something wrong?

No. Nothing.

Look at me.

Look at me.

You take something?

I'm freaking out, man.

I'm good. I can drive.

Tweak, we screw this up, I can't save you.

All right? We're almost there.

I know.

I know. I got it.

Come on, man. Don't look at me like that.

Well.

I already got a dad that hates my guts.

You listen to him as much as you listen to me?

Less.

Here he comes.

When we get to the lab, you stay in the truck.

What? Why?

Just listen to me. Do as I say.

You're the one who's late, my man.

Come on, man. Not this voodoo crap again.

Hey, this guy got me from Santo Domingo

to the United States and through every job I ever had.

He stays.

So, Espinoza, I noticed the hazmats.

What are they for? I thought we were the ride.

Trust me.

You're going to want them.

Cuidado. Cuidado.

Please step back.

Whoa! Hold up.

Those are ICE agents.

Go around them.

They're not looking for us. Just sit tight.

This is my head if we're late.

Jump the curb and go around them.

I... I can't. There's people there. Wha...

Tweak.

Oy!

- Hey! - Police!

Don't move! Don't move!

Drop the gun!

Drop the gun! Drop the gun!

Up against the truck.

In a fraction of the time that you or I can,

it is capable of using that information

to forecast where and when criminal activity will occur.

Artificially intelligent policing isn't the future.

It's already here.

So is this Skynet or HAL?

Shh.

The algorithm also allows agencies

to allocate resources more effectively,

saving money without cutting corners.

- I mean, it sounds impressive. - It is impressive.

Until it sends someone back in time to kill you.

It's just a tool.

It doesn't make decisions. We do.

Honestly, I'm surprised you're down for this.

What?

Allocating resources efficiently is my jam.

You know what I mean.

You're talking about bias?

The data is only as good as the people who feed it.

Better us feeding it than someone else.

Now, I'm not gonna convince everybody.

I get that.

When technology leaps instead of steps, it can be scary.

But I promise you this.

AI will not only save time, it will save lives.

If this does even half of what he claims,

this man's gonna revolutionize policing forever.

Didn't know you were such a fan girl.

Change can be a good thing.

What have you got? Anything?

Not everyone thinks so.

I'll handle Stabler.

You guys get back to work.

God, I love not being the boss.

You got the report, right?

DEA said they were gonna send it to you.

We've gotta find Espinoza before Los Santos does

or this entire operation is just completely shot.

Welcome back, Detective. I missed you too.

Can we take a breath and try that again?

I was this close.

We'll get him.

You're damn right I'm gonna get him.

How are they doing?

Jet's sharp edges are more like razor blades.

She's keeping everything close to the vest.

And Reyes is throwing himself into work

a little bit too much.

Reminds me of you.

Not in a good way.

Jamie left a big hole.

You know, this operation...

Operation was a choice. You made your choice.

Yeah. And?

And there's a lot more healing

you need to do yourself.

In more ways than one.

But first, let's finish what you started.

DEA is bringing us in?

- Yeah, that was the easy part. - Right.

Getting them to share information,

whole nother nightmare.

They're the DEA.

Okay, the lab is still out there.

And unfortunately, Espinoza is our only way

in and up the ranks.

Last year the numbers made a massive jump.

Fentanyl now accounts for 81% of the overdose deaths

in New York City alone.

It's not how we usually think about an outbreak,

but when one middle school loses 11 students in one week,

I don't know what else to call it.

Middle school?

I mean, what the hell is going on out there?

You have these guys to thank for it.

Los Santos.

They're the top fentanyl distributors

on the eastern seaboard.

Pretty much every overdose in New York City

over the last six months, you can thank them for it.

They did it by taking out the competition

and by keeping the location of their lab

the tightest secret since Area 51.

Area 51, I knew it.

Pretty much why you haven't seen me for a while.

I've been trying to find the lab, shut it down.

Thanks to Stabler's CI, we were able to get close

through one of the gang's lieutenants, Miguel Espinoza.

According to this guy, Espinoza,

they're moving the fentanyl using 18-wheelers

marked up as grocery delivery trucks.

Clever way to blend in.

This morning we were supposedly on our way

to pick up a shipment from the lab

until all hell broke loose.

Hey, don't be so hard on yourself.

Odds might not have been in your favor.

I was worried that donuts might offend.

Did I over correct?

Dr. Vargas, you're early.

Several days early.

I thought it couldn't hurt to get started.

I'm gonna get you a new security system,

because that one, that one was way too easy.

Hey, not that desk. Both: No!

Why don't you guys set up over there?

Thanks.

Detective Stabler, this is Dr. Kyle Vargas.

His firm was contracted by the mayor's office.

To do what?

Make your lives wondrously more simple.

To do what?

Pilot program using AI analytics

to aid in investigations.

That's artificial intelligence.

- I know what AI is. - Okay.

He's integrating his system into ours.

It's a trial run.

We're the department's beta testers.

We're the guinea pigs.

This is Detective Reyes.

Mm.

And our resident expert in your field.

Jet Slootmaekers. Nice to meet you.
