- Was it a robbery?

The intake report says the dead inmates were Lontocs, an extremely violent Filipino g*ng.

They're not gonna like this.

Tell me about De Rossi.

years old, divorced.

Ex-wife is a nurse.

Did two years at Newark PD.

Worked private security after that, and he took the job at Carson Correctional last year.

An ex-cop turned prison guard...

Why did he leave Newark PD?

- It doesn't say.

- Warden said De Rossi got along well with everyone, even the prisoners.

Maybe too well.

He k*lled those inmates after he heard the FBI was coming.

Whatever these guys were involved in, he didn't want us asking questions.

Were these Lontocs the ones calling your friend?

I don't know.

They searched the whole prison, didn't find any phones.

And the one used to contact Matthew isn't pinging anymore.

De Rossi could've took 'em.

Well, I got some metadata, though.

Matthew was texting back and forth with that burner for at least a few days.

I just can't read any of the messages yet.

It's gonna take a while to scrape this.

You keep working on that.

Crosby?

You and Barnes track down the ex-wife.

Ortiz and I'll go see the Jersey Police g*ng unit.

Find out what we can about these Lontocs.

Brendan and I had only been married a year when he got fired.

What happened?

Well, officially, it was insubordination, which is basically a nice way of saying that he punched a desk sergeant in the mouth.

He always had a temper.

He did private security after that?

Off and on for a while, yeah.

But, mainly, he'd just go to the bar every night and come home drunk and complaining.

Is that why you divorced him?

I actually wasn't the one who filed.

He left you?

Yeah, after he started working at the prison.

All of a sudden, he's working out, he's buying new clothes, he's wearing this ridiculous cologne, constantly lying to me about where he'd go every night.

And then one day, he just came home and...

said he was leaving.

- Did he tell you why?

- I mean, I knew why.

He met someone.

He didn't have the guts to tell me who she was, and I didn't ask.

I was so angry and humiliated.

After all the crap he put me through, he was gonna better-deal me?

- I'm sorry.

- Don't be.

I mean, obviously, it's good riddance, right?

Look, I don't know where he is.

And I'm sorry for all those people that he k*lled.

But honestly...

I hate the man.

And that woman, whoever she is, that he left me for, she deserves everything that she's getting.

Let her live with the shame...

not me.

All right.

Thank you for your time.

- Thank you.

- Yeah.

The Lontocs have been here since the ' s.

They started with extorting Asian businesses, prostitution, even loan-sharking down in Atlantic City.

Now it's mostly dr*gs.

Just last year we busted up one of their fentanyl rings.

My buddies in the LAPD said you b*rned a couple of their informants they were trying to work with West Coast connections.

They're still trying to rebuild those relationships.

Apologies for doing our job.

That must've put some of them behind bars.

Only the foot soldiers, and all of them went mute, refused to give up the top dog.

The "snakehead," as they call it.

You familiar with these two?

No.

What'd they do?

d*ed.

m*rder*d by a prison guard in Wantage this morning.

We think they might be using cell phones on the inside.

Well, it fits the Lontoc pattern.

Three of our perps on the fentanyl case had burners in lockup at Fairview, arranging deals on the street.

You're chasing the guard now?

Yeah.

Brendan De Rossi.

He also k*lled an employee.

We don't think they're connected, but somehow he got sideways with the Lontocs.

Knowing the Lontocs, here's what I have to say to Mr. De Rossi.

He'd better hope that you find him first.

You messed up, Brendan.

They're never gonna let this go.

I didn't plan this, Kellie!

The FBI was coming, they wouldn't give me the phones.

They att*cked me!

It was either me or them.

We have to give them back and beg for mercy.

- No way.

- It's the only way.

The burners are leverage, all right?

Without them, it's their word against ours.

We can use them.

We can make a deal.

We can negotiate our way out of this.

The Lontocs don't make deals.

They won't have a choice!

They know I can take 'em down with what I know.

Conversation starts, they flirt back and forth...

Then nudes and videos are sent, and, boom, the pretend uncle calls and threatens to turn them in for child p*rn.

But the underage girl isn't real?

Yeah, kind of.

So who's chatting up the marks?

Could be where De Rossi's girlfriend comes in.

She imitates the girls?

Then the Lontocs in prison play the fake family, De Rossi makes the pickups.

Most people probably just pay, unlike Matthew.

So this is a no-muss, no-fuss version of prostitution.

There's no real girls to worry about.

There's no one to point the finger at except some faceless number on a burner phone.

It's cost-effective, could be run from anywhere.

But what about the video?

I mean, that was a real girl.

Could just be some random p*rn someone stole.

They also help cover their salary.

- East- -West Teachers?

St. Florian's Academy is in Little Manila.

That's a big Filipino community.

Probably helpful to hire teachers like Kellie who share the same culture as the students.

East- -West Teachers has no digital footprint.
