"He makes sure no one can follow him." "So far, he hasn't crossed any Bridges or tunnels." "Okay, so we know that the girls are housed in queens." "But no sign of Ariel?" "Not even in a disguise?" "No, most of these girls were ethnic." "I mean, it's a lower-rent crowd than the loft." "A little white girl like Ariel would be considered high-class." "Could be a special request."

"You want to honestly sit there and tell us that you don't know what goes on in that house?" "Well, it doesn't take a rocket scientist..." "If I help you guys out, you let me go home?" "We'll see." "Same girls every day, hmm?" "No, it varies." "They mix it up." "Different girls, I don't know, every couple weeks." "How about for special events?" "They bring the best girls and invite the best clients." "150 bucks just to get in the door." "It's very high-class." "Those are big delivery days for me." "Kind of like super bowl Sunday." "That's why you got to let me go back there tomorrow." "It's my biggest day of the year." "Tell you what." "We'll take that delivery off your hands."

"All right, now." "[Amaro] Where do you want 'em?" "[Woman] Table." "Here's good?" "That's the table, ain't it?" "Hey, how you doing?" "Hey, how old are these girls?" "What do you care?" "NYPD." "Hands where I can see them." "Hey." "NYPD!" "Hands up!" "Hands, now." "Put those phones down on the table now." "Get down." "You serving minors, huh?" "What the hell is this?" "You shaking me down on super bowl Sunday?" "Consider it a hostile takeover." "Come on." "This house is now our house." "Which one of these is your phone?" "The leopard one." "If you're the cops, where's the warrant?" "It's on its way." "Now listen to me." "If you work with us, we'll work with you." "What are you talking about?" "The party is gonna go on as planned." "But you're gonna tell us who's coming." "How many Johns, pimps, girls." "[Fin] No surprises." "And when they bust them, we're gonna bust you too." "You make it look good, nobody's gonna ever know that you cooperated." "If I say no?" "Amanda, how many underage girls" " you got over there?" " We got two." "You say no, you're talking federal charges." "I didn't know, I swear." "Save it." "This girl..." "She ever work here?" "Haven't seen her in a week." "Maybe she got arrested." "She didn't." "Make some calls, get her here." "Yo, I don't even know who she with." "[Carisi] Well, find out." "And then tell the pimp that you got a special request." "You got a whale here who's willing to pay top dollar for snow bunnies." "I'll do what I can." "Yeah, you will." "Stand up." "Un-cuff her." "Listen, anybody asks, I'm Bethany." "I'm here to help you out for the day." "And I'm your new supplier." "I'm with some girls here fresh from Vice." "And I'm your whale."

"So Ariel will be at the party?" "We've put in a request." "Timmer said that he'd make some calls." "Okay, okay, all right, I'll come with." "No, no, Martha." "That's not happening." "I know Tracy and Timmer." "I know how they work." "Listen, you need to go to your apartment." "You need to take care of yourself and get some sleep." "I don't sleep." "I've slept a total of two hours a night over the past three years." "When Ariel's back, I will sleep." "I don't know how you're still standing." "Well, moms don't sleep." "You know that." "They told me you have a little boy." "Does he ever get sick?" "Too often." "Oh, when Ariel was little, she used to get the worst ear infections." "She couldn't sleep." "If I left the room, she'd cry." "So I'd have to sit by her side." "I would read, I would sing, till she fell asleep." "And then I would just sit and watch her." "I wasn't tired at all." "I want that back." "I want her back." "Please, let me be there." "Are you going to a super bowl party?" "Um... something like that." "Well, I'm glad you're getting out." "[Doorbell dings] Ah, that's my date." "Oh, do you want me to get it?" "Come here, yeah." " Come here, big boy." " He wants to go to you." " Come here, big boy." " There you go." "I'm gonna miss you." "I'm gonna miss you tonight." "But you know what?" "Next week, just you and me." "All week." "Ready to roll?" "Ha, let's do this." "Okay." "Good night, little love." "Love you." "Love you." "Okay, player, is this more like what you're looking for?" "Oh, you a Seahawks fan?" "I'll make sure nothing's under-inflated tonight." "You do that, baby." "[Carisi] So you want to put your money on the pats, all right?" "They're gonna make sure new England wins this, even if they got to rig the last play of the game." "[Man] Come on, now." "All right, let's go, ladies." "Mix, mingle." "Gonna be busy tonight." "Uh-uh, uh-uh." "Who the hell is she?" "She's my sister-in-law Bethany." "Works a house in Nassau county." "I told you I needed the help." "We expecting a big night." "Are those your girls?" "Which ones do special requests?" "[Laughs]" "They do what I tell them to do." "That's what I like to hear." "You let me know if you need anything." "Will do." "[Chuckles]" "[Martha] You said she was going to be here." "Where's Ariel?" "Carisi says he hasn't seen her." "She's not working tonight." "Wait." "Who's that?" "[Martha] It's not a car I know." "Hey." "Where's my blonde, huh?" "The skinny one with the nice rack?" "She'll be here, but..." "While you're waiting..." "Why don't you let my girl Nina take care of you, huh?" "There we go." "He has money." "Is Ariel actually coming?" "She'll be here, okay?" "Let me make another phone call." "Mystery pimp just pulled up in the driveway." "Timmer was the last pimp on that list that Tracy gave us." "Then we got a problem." "Hey." "Who just arrived in the black escalade?" "The bishop." "His ass crazy." "Timmer must have called him about Ariel." "But he's alone." "You like that, baby?" "I know you do." "[The bishop] Timmer." "Who are these trespassers?" "I don't know them." "I'm with Tracy." "We're all friends here." "You're no friend of mine, ma'am." " Aah, what the..." " Shut up, bitch." "Hey, you." "Never speak to a woman like that." "You're done." "The game hasn't even started yet." " Back off." " Yours is over." "Who are you?" "I don't know you." "[The bishop] Now you do!" "[Men shouting]" "Take it easy, man." "I don't know you either, superfly." "That's it, this party's over!" "Drop your gun." "You're sick, boyo." "I pray you didn't invite a pig to the party." "Drop the gun." "All right, all right, darling." " Just take it easy." " I said drop the gun." "Tracy, tell your bitch here to take a step back." "NYPD!" "[Rollins] Drop the weapon!" "Come on, man!" "Everybody drop your weapons." " You sold me out, you're dead." " I didn't, man!" " You're dead!" " I didn't!" "I didn't, man." "I swear to you I didn't!" "Everybody here is under arrest." "Give me that gun." "Turn around." "Do I want to know why you're dressed like that?" "We were undercover at a brothel, and before we could..." "Wait, back up." "Who's we?" "Me, Fin, Carisi, the whole squad." "The whole squad was undercover at a brothel on super bowl Sunday?" "We don't need to get your approval." "And we made some good arrests, and Martha ID'd Timmer." "Martha was there?" "I told you she couldn't be involved." "Sorry." "Sorry?" "That's it?" "Actually, what I was trying to tell you is that before we could rescue Ariel," "Declan shows up, deep undercover as a trafficker." "And we had to arrest him." "Declan Murphy, your former lieutenant." "Undercover for whom, Vice?" "I can't speak to that." "See if he can." " Yo, what's up?" " You sold us out." " It wasn't me..." " Not a word." "We'll cut your balls off, salt them, and feed them to the seagulls, you understand?" "Yeah, man." "I said yes." "You two, out." "And you." "No, you, come on." "Take your ugly friend with you." "I don't know that dude." "He's crazy, man." "[Carisi] Hey." "Hey, what about me?" "Hey, shut up." "You made us miss the game." "What the hell are you doing?" "You put a gun in my face, then you pistol whip one of our guys?" "That mouse job's one of yours?" "Okay, let's do the introductions later." "You want to tell us what the hell you were doing back there?" "I should ask you the same thing!" "Nine months I'm embedding myself in the trafficking ring, and you want to blow it with a super bowl Vice bust?" "That's the dumbest, riskiest day of the year." "Okay, we're looking for a trafficked girl." "Just one?" "I thought I taught you to think big." "I'm tracking hundreds." "I'm working for Johnny D." "Johnny D?" "We don't know him." "Of course you don't." "That's what took me nine months to figure out." "And now, thanks to you," "I'm gonna have to spend a week at Rikers until that gun charge is dropped." "I hand the reins to you, and you gotta bollocks everything up?" "Okay, I missed you too, Declan." "We're looking for this girl." " Ariel." " [Fin] She alive?" "In a sense." "She's damaged goods." "Your friend Timmer did a number on her before he sold her to Johnny D." "800 bucks is all he got." "Where does Johnny D keep her?" "He's just bought girls from me." "He's never taken me to his lair." "Buying, wow." "So now you're trafficking." "I'm earning his trust." "And you do not relay that to 1PP." "Then you..." "You tell Johnny D that you want to buy Ariel from him." "You overplayed that hand." "He's too smart." "He'll smell the trap." "Listen to me." "I made a promise to that girl's mother." "That's a promise you're not gonna be able to keep." "It's too late for Ariel." "Those girls are so broken, they won't save themselves." "No one's gonna talk." "Johnny D doesn't think twice about killing some whore or pimp." "Even a cop." "If alone with him, given the chance," "I'll put a shiv in him and just walk away." "But you got to put me back in holding before you make this whole thing worse." "Now, please." "[Rollins] Do you know her?" "Her name's Ariel." "I know lots of people." "Come on, where is she?" "Nina, helping us is helping yourself." "I say a word to you, and Timmer does to me exactly what he did to her." "What did he do to her?" "Everything was supposed to be all set and ready to go." "This lady pimp..." "Martha?" "Yeah, Martha." "She was gonna buy us." "Then Timmer walked in on Ariel on the phone with her, and he beat her until she blacked out." "So just call Timmer's lawyer." "I don't want to die." "[Whispering] I almost got my daughter killed." "You were trying to save her." "Let me talk to Nina." "She knows more than she's letting on." "She's not gonna help us." "Please." "Please." "I asked for a lawyer." "And I asked to talk to you first." "You came on like a madam, said you were gonna take care of us." "You're just another cop." "I'm not a cop." " I'm Ariel's mother." " [Scoffs] Can't be." "Her mom's boyfriend pimped her out in Canada somewhere." "It's not true." "I've been looking for Ariel since the day she disappeared." "Ariel has a real mom." "Nobody ever came looking for me." "Who told you that?" "Timmer." "And you believed him?" "What do you want from me?" "I just want my daughter." "I don't care if you testify." "I don't care about anything." "Just tell me where she is." "I'm sorry." "Nina..." "Please, where is she?" "Look, this is how it is." "The morning after he beat her," "Timmer drove her to hell." "He killed her?" "He took her to Johnny D." "Timmer always talks about how lucky we are to be with him." "Johnny D keeps his new girls chained up for a whole week, lets all these pimps come in, do whatever they want to them." "That's how he breaks them." "So this whole thing was a setup, huh?" "So what?" "I was at a super bowl party, baby." "Come on, we know you're a pimp." "We've been following you for a year." "We tapped your phones, bugged your house, and turnt your girls." "[Rollins] Selena, your bottom, we embedded her." "Martha, the madam, another UC." "It's over." "Nobody's afraid of you anymore." "[Laughs]" "Listen, sweetheart." "I'm a local businessman, huh?" "With ties to the community." "So..." "I think I'll call my lawyer now, huh?" "[Smooches]" "[Laughs]" "So that's it?" "It's over now?" "Not yet." "The know what they're doing." "You don't need a lawyer." "Well, it's my right." "We're releasing you and the bishop." "Illegal search." "Now, bishop thinks you set him up, and Johnny D." "So they gonna be waiting on you when you get outside." "Come on, player, nobody snitching on them." "That doesn't matter." "It matters what it looks like, and it looks like you set him up." "I'm not even looking at you right now." "I'm looking at a dead man." "Your body just doesn't know it." "I ain't set nobody up, all right?" "Okay, so you want to live." "Where is Ariel?" "_" "NYPD!" "No, no, please, don't!" "Please don't..." "Okay, take it easy." "I got you." "[Crying] Please, no, please." "It's all right, you're okay." "You're okay." "You're safe." " You're safe." " Over there." "I got it." "Hey, hey, listen, you're okay." "It's all right." "[Speaks spanish]" "Hey, I need an ambulance!" "So far, three girls, all in bad shape." "No sign of Ariel?" "[Girl screaming, metal clattering]" "[Girl] Let go of me!" "Someone help!" "Please help!" "Let go of me!" "Stop it!" "Hey!" "Put your hands up." "[Rollins] Let her go." "[Amaro] Drop the glass." "Drop it now!" "[Amaro] Drop the glass." "Johnny D, it's over, all right?" "[Benson] Hey." "Let her go." "This is the girl you want?" "Say good-bye." "You kill her, you die too." "Is she really worth it?" "Let her go." "I want my lawyer." "[Amaro] Drop the glass." "Hands against the door." "Come on." "[Amaro] Spread your legs." "[Amaro] Hands behind your back." "[Whispering] Thank you." "Thank you." "Ariel." "Mommy?" "Yeah." "Mommy's here." "You're safe." "You're safe." "It's okay." "You're safe now." "You're safe." "Thank you, Amanda." "You've been under a long time." "You okay?" "I'm fine." "Some of these girls are telling me that you actually pimped them out." "You can't believe a word they say." "They're liars." "Huh." "What about you?" "You walking the walk?" "Yeah, I hit a rough patch." "But..." "What doesn't kill you..." "Makes you a better detective." "[Door opens]" "Heard you found your girl." "We did." "How is she?" "Bruising, fractured ribs." "That'll heal." "The rest, though..." "One can only pray." "So we took your man down." "Found him in his lair with four sex slaves as prisoners." "He'll be going away for life, for federal charges." "Maybe." "He's trafficked for over 20 years, no paper trail, not a single arrest." "Do not turn your back on him." "Can you come in from the cold now?" "You want me back in charge that badly?" "Hmm." "Johnny D. was the king." "For the time being, he's out of commission." "That makes me the heir apparent." "The gun charge." "You should be ashamed of yourselves for the illegal search." "It'll get dropped." "I'll be back out on the streets in no time." "And every trafficker in the northeast will be kissing my ring." "So make it look good." "Cuffs?" "By the book." "[Cuffs clicking]" "Till we meet again." "You have a good team here." "Take care of yourselves." "You too, Declan." "_" "[Judge] John Drake, otherwise known as Johnny D, how do you plead?" "100% not guilty, your honor." "[Judge] Counselor?" "Not guilty, your honor." "We request R.O.R." "My client has never had so much as a parking ticket." "Your honor, he was found in a hell hole with girls imprisoned as sex slaves." "He knows nothing about that." "They were girls he trafficked, bought and sold." "He was taken while holding a piece of glass to one victim's neck." "He was also being held against his will when who he perceived as strangers burst in." "The minute he understood it was police, he surrendered." "Your honor, he's looking at life in prison." "He has the means to flee." "There may be other women in jeopardy." "If ever a situation called for remand..." "Agreed." "Mr. Drake, you are remanded to a federal penitentiary pending trial." "[Gavel pounds]" "Can you help me?" "Turn it, ready?" "Go, and..." "Hello, young friend." "Good." "Good one..." "[Doorbell dings]" "Huh." "Who's that at our door?" "Who's that at our door?" "Melinda." "Everything okay?" "I'm sorry to bother you at home, but I wanted to keep this off the books." " Oh, okay, come on in." " Thanks." "Keep what off the books?" "I need to know the legal status of your relationship with Noah." "What?" "Why?" "Just tell me." "Have you started the adoption process?" "Well, there's a pile of paperwork." "But the second that I'm allowed to adopt him, I will." "What's going on?" "There was a hit..." "On Johnny Drake's DNA when it went through the system." "It was a familial match in an unrelated case, which is not discoverable in Drake's current case." " He never needs to know." " Needs to know what?" "What are you saying?" "What I am trying to tell you..." "Johnny D. is Noah's father."
