Previously, on law & order: Criminal intent
- Pirate, starboard!
- His death means the fun is over for you, hassan.
- You have found someone clean?
- A new york city police captain.
- 2 mil for 2 years.
Ross approved.
- Fire.
[g*nshots]
- Captain was k*lled working a federal assignment.
He was undercover.
- We have to b*at the fbi to his files.
- Typical fearlessness of a psychopath.
[cuffs clatter]
Van dekker, you know what we want.
- The k*lling of your captain Was stupid.
- Paperwork is in order.
He goes into their custody.
- Realize he was about to cooperate with us, right?
- I told you about bigger priorities.
- Our captain is dead.
That's a big priority to us.
- Detective! No.
Not worth it.
Announcer: In new york city's w*r on crime, The worst criminal offenders are pursued By the detectives of the major case squad.
These are their stories.
- Detail, present arms! Order, arms! Detail, dismissed! [bagpipes end]
- I'm telling you, you'll get no testimony from me Until written assurances are in place.
- Relax.
You've only been arraigned.
- On 2 million bucks bail.
- When he makes our deal, we'll reduce.
And he should be kissing our asses.
The cops want to link him to three murders.
- One of them being a police captain.
- I told you I'd give you that k*ller.
- Yeah, but until you do, The safest place for you is in federal custody with us.
- We have a d.
A.
's warrant for the arrest of van dekker.
- You got no jurisdiction on this.
- We do on the death of marya onegin.
And don't try to sell her as one of your undercover agents.
- So you're mine.
- No.
- Yeah.
Let's go.
- I didn't know you cared, darling.
- Hey.
- Come on!
- Hey, goren!
- Hey, hey, hey.
- Are you crazy? Hey, you were warned to back off!
- Get off!
- Get your hands off me, man.
He's ours.
- Yeah.
No way.
Not now.
- We're not releasing him to a maniac.
- We have a warrant.
- Yeah, you can stick that warrant.
This is going to our director if I have to.
- Bye
-bye.
- This is bad, bobby.
- No.
It's good.
It's good.
Sub by Adriano_CSI So tell me he threatened you or you reacted to something.
Goren, they've taken this to the commissioner.
Do you know what that means?
- Excuse me.
I'm supposed to report to the pro tem captain.
- You are?
- Serena stevens.
I just arrived in new york.
Apparently, I was captain ross' last hire.
- Here.
Coffee.
Uh, I'm zach nichols.
They mentioned that somebody was coming from chicago, but
- I'll wait and check in.
I appreciate hierarchy.
- Uh
-huh.
I see.
Well, um, to fill you in, we're
-
-we're up to our ears In g*n runners and pirates.
But if you'd rather wait
- Pirates? Not people who are stealing downloads?
- Somalian coast.
- Well, how is that our jurisdiction?
- It's been a bone of contention.
- We are not done here!
- Excuse me.
- Detective! You're suspended.
- Well, I talked him out of a psychological evaluation.
And you can thank me later.
- Uh, share this.
And I'll be in touch with you.
And with you.
- She's new.
- Oh, it's fun here.
- [chuckles]
Oh, it's beautifully hidden in the circuitry.
These are micro components.
It's the same used for satellite tracking Of migratory seabirds.
- But the battery works?
- Yeah.
I guess.
But it hides an fm receiver and a gps sender.
- So they can find us now?
- No, it's dormant Until the fm receives the signal, Which then activates the gps and gives the location Of the w*apon.
It's accurate within about 30 feet.
- Ah.
The americans are not fools.
They planted these to be stolen.
- Knowing I'll barter them for power To every t*rror1st camp in somalia.
- Imagine, some t*rror1st poses with a stinger for al jazeera, A drone hones in on the signal, and poof Vaporized.
- I can remove it.
- No.
Leave it.
Luckily, for the americans to succeed, I must succeed.
- So we don't really have the connective tissue Between these victims.
- Well, the fbi is aware of something, But, uh, not willing to share.
- So one victim dealt weapons.
Another transported them.
The man in federal custody is probably next.
- Yeah.
Why'd you leave chicago?
- It's a long story.
No pirates.
- k*lled at sea, a sheik and his young bride.
He's a descendant of abdullah hassan.
National hero to some.
- Collateral damage?
- Or there's somebody out there who cares.
- I told them nothing.
I swear to you.
- Yet here you are.
- Yes.
Minus $2 million and facing charges of m*rder.
Thank you very much.
- [chuckles]
- Keep a spot in your regime for me.
Minister of defense, perhaps.
In any case, to reaffirm my dedication To your cause I am delivering As requested.
I knew a west african leader Who used to keep his father's shrunken head on his desk.
- They are savages.
- I transferred the contents From the shabby container I was given To this fine zanzibar urn.
- I thank you for this.
- Some day iou must let me regale you With the complications of getting a cremation done In the horn of africa.
- I must reimburse you for this.
- No, no.
It was always part of our arrangement.
- No.
I must.
Call it a cultural thing.
Pay mr.
Van dekker.
- I should've known.
[g*nsh*t]
Ah! [grunts]
- Van dekker was entertaining.
- Balvenie.
He broke out the good stuff.
Must've been someone special.
- Close range.
Small caliber.
Single entry.
And stippling that looks like steel wool.
- Homemade sil*ncer.
Everything about these killings reeks of professionalism.
- Okay, before the requisite argument about jurisdiction, Anyone check with goren about his alibi?
- Ask him yourself.
- This corpse is a man he threatened.
- It has an m.
O.
Identical with two other murders.
- Goren would keep it that way.
- They have a point, detective.
We have to go where the evidence takes us.
- Then go alone.
Don't.
I mean, don't ask me to buy into an idea that goren
-
-
- We.
You, me
-
-we follow up on goren because it's our job.
[whispers]
and because we don't want them Putting anybody else on it.
- Is this private or can anyone participate?
- Oh, join in.
It's betray your partner day.
- That's not what I'm saying.
Let goren know that.
Go talk to him.
See, it is fun here.
- Nichols may have a rational reason, But I hate them telling us what to do.
- I know.
But you got to go along with it, right? I mean, it's in all of our best interests, right?
- T.
O.
D.
Was around 8:00 pm.
Do you happen to have an alibi?
- I was here.
- Yeah.
How'd I know you were going to say that? Alone, right?
- Loftin's tax returns showed substantial income From this man
-
- russel alton milgram.
- A dmv photo? So you're still getting information From a police database? They'll add that to the charges.
- Yeah, that doesn't matter.
- The fbi wants your head.
- So this guy milgram is an investment capitalist And by all appearances legit.
- You think he's the money trail.
- I'm gonna try and find out.
- I really feel I should try to talk you out of this.
- But that's always been a wasted effort.
- Yeah.
Right.
- I've spoken to the harbor master in djibouti And emailed the members of the local press.
- How'd you manage that?
- They responded to my french.
And so did the man who took this.
- Any local political situations threatening this guy?
- Nothing obvious.
But the people I spoke to were surprised By the presence of this man.
That's's hassan, the sheik's son.
They weren't very close, But he appeared unexpectedly at the wedding.
- On the day that the newlyweds boarded a boat For their final voyage.
- Mm
-hmm.
Good news is we can go speak with him.
He lives here.
He owns an advertising agency on madison avenue.
- My sister and I were both saddened By our father's death.
But in our part of the world, One learns as a child to accept mortality.
- Hassan and I are two of over 40 children.
Somewhat distanced from family connections, We were educated here.
- We've learned that you were present, hassan, The day your father departed djibouti.
- I was on
-
- I was in europe on business.
I made a quick trip to see my father's seventh bride.
- Fortunate coincidence that you saw him.
- Coincidence? In our faith, all is written.
- Uh, sayyid abdullah al hassan?
- Yes.
- Yeah.
I'm part irish.
He fought the british.
I understand why he's a hero.
- He's our great, great grandfather.
- Really? Hmm.
And look at you, on madison avenue here.
Well, as you mentioned, you have a lunch meeting.
- Oh, uh, one more thing.
I assume you know jan van dekker.
- Uh, the name, it's familiar.
UhI'm not certain.
Uh, who is he?
- A m*rder victim.
We believe he had a connection to your father.
- Our father had so many connections, And we were aware of so few of them.
- Yeah.
As you
-
- you've made that clear.
Van dekker?
- Mm
-hmm.
- I liked it.
You rocked him pretty good.
- How about some credit for the revelation He was in djibouti? That practically had his sister hyperventilating.
- HmmThings he's obviously not sharing.
- I'll bet he's sharing them now.
- Why were you in djibouti?
- In truth, to warn him.
- Why didn't you share that with me?
- To protect you, kadra.
I knew what had to be done and it was done.
[door shuts]
- Is there someone at the door? Did she hear?
- Tonight, I swear I will deal with it.
- 500 bucks a hole and the guy's k*lling me.
I can't do
-
-I mean, I'm playing all right, But he's making everything.
And off the tee, he is just hitting Absolutely dead straight.
So I used a technique I learned from my father.
I say to him "so when you hit, "are you taking a breath here Or are you taking your breath here?" And he is dead.
He
-
-he can't hit a ball the rest of the day.
I win the next 12 holes.
Hey, jim, back me up, huh? Be right back.
[zips pants]
[toilet flushes]
It's all yours.
- Russel alton milgram.
- Who
-
-who are you? [grunts]
- Your worst nightmare.
- [coughs]
- So broidy, loftin, van dekker, police captain.
Now russel alton milgram.
- Oh, god.
Please.
- You know what I want.
- The weapons? I don't know where they are.
I don't
-
-I don't get into that.
Ah.
Wait.
Wait.
There's a
-
- there's an industrial site I
-I
-I acquired in a
-
- in a foreclosure Outside bayonne.
Loftin needed storage space.
I told security to let him come and go as he pleased.
- Well, call them.
Tell them someone else is coming.
- One second, sir.
I.
D.
, please.
- We don't get a lot of traffic.
- Who's this?
- A real estate agent.
The place is for sale.
- This one here?
- Uh, don't know.
It's a van.
Name's here.
R.
J.
Patel.
- All right.
Thank you.
- Once the issues with my father's death are settled, It'll be a time of peace.
- For me, the bigger problem is your sister doesn't like me.
- That's not true, jill.
- Tell her I'm not wedded to my world.
That I'll embrace your culture, your faith.
- How about a glass of sancerre?
- Sure.
But as muslims, shouldn't we abstain from alcohol?
- [chuckles]
my father once met the aga khan, The leader of the ismaili muslims.
When he offered my father champagne, My father asked that question.
The aga khan told him that allah would change it To water as it touched their lips.
- [chuckles]
I see us together forever, hassan.
Do you ever see that?
- I see it often.
[entrance bells ring]
[door closes]
- Mr.
Patel here?
- Mr.
Patel is expecting you?
- No.
He doesn't know me.
- Uh, but you have business with him?
- Yeah.
Uh, tell him I'm a shipping broker.
My area of expertise is east africa And my specialty is electronic equipment.
- [knocks]
[speaking native language]
- Mr.
Patel.
- How did you come to this place?
- I'm aware that
-
-that
-
- that you have equipment Bound for shipment.
- Mmm.
How are you aware?
- I've seen it.
- I wasn't sure you'd come.
- Oh, miss the opportunity to wear a trench coat With the collar turned up?
- [chuckles]
I'll work with you investigating goren.
- So he insisted.
All he needs is an alibi.
- He doesn't have one.
- Sounds good enough for me.
- Anything new on ross?
- Not specifically on danny, broidy, loftin, or van dekker.
But there may be one motive that covers all of them.
We're starting to like him.
He goes by a single name: Hassan.
We spoke to a teacher of his who stayed in touch with him Through a mutual friend, another art student named jill peak.
- Were hassan and jill involved?
- Fortunately for us, they still are.
[knocking at door]
Anybody home?
- Who are you?
- Police.
You know, uh, you should keep your
-
-your apartment A little more secure, don't you think? Are you jill peak?
- Yes, I am.
And I'm waiting for a model.
What's this about?
- Uh, I'm detective nichols, That's detective eames, detective stevens.
- Did something happen in the building?
- No.
We're actually here to see you.
- I'm in the middle of something.
- Well, it won't
-
- won't take long.
- We're here about hassan.
- What? You mean his father's death?
- Yeah.
We're
-
- we're looking into it.
Have you spoken about it with him?
- Just that he was planning a memorial service.
- Did hassan ever mention jan van dekker?
- No.
- He didn't make you part of that Jan van dekker's m*rder?
- Look, I don't know what you're talking about.
You should be talking to hassan.
- So he excluded you.
- Um, when's the
-
- when's the last time You saw hassan?
- I saw him last night.
We had dinner.
- How was he acting?
- Look, I don't know what you're suggesting, But I don't like it.
- Hmm.
Hey, you're, uh
-
- you're a photographer, huh?
- I am.
And I'm working.
I'd rather not have you in here when my model shows up.
It'll make her nervous.
- Defensive.
- Only after you suggested she was party to m*rder.
- She covered pretty effectively.
- Yeah, she knows a little something's up.
But luckily for her, I think hassan does exclude her.
- And that's unlucky for us.
[speaking native language]
- Lab results on van dekker.
- Something good?
- A substance from under his fingernails.
I thought it was some kind of cosmetic powder.
Turns ou not so cosmetic.
- Human remains.
- And finely ground The way they'd be delivered from a crematorium.
- Something that might be kept in an ornate urn.
This gives us probable cause.
- I'll get a warrant.
- This is really
-
- this is really nice.
Did you just get this recently?
- No.
- It's lovely.
- And sacred.
Leave it alone.
You have no reason to touch that.
- Read the warrant more carefully, And you'll see that we do.
- Hassan's computer.
This is all patriotic propaganda.
- That's interesting.
Jimhureed al arat al bunt.
The republic of puntland.
- You read arabic?
- Oh, I can read it.
The alphabet's similar to urdu.
What's weird is that puntland is in anarchy.
It's not even close to being a republic.
- What's weird is that you can read urdu.
Where'd you learn it?
- Islamabad.
My father was a marine officer at our embassy.
- Hassan was starting a new country.
Republic of puntland.
- Republic of puntland? Hey, I
-I, uh, read about a coup in west africa.
Somebody put up money, another guy the weapons, There was a mercenary, a transport person, And a wannabe charismatic.
- So no vengeance spree, just a coup.
- With our government supporting it.
- Maybe our government has lost control.
An old sheik is k*lled so his son can take the throne, But the son has feelings that they didn't anticipate.
[blackberry chimes]
In which case it's both a coup and vengeance.
- Uh
-oh, 9:00 tomorrow, I'm wanted in the chief's office.
- Hmm.
[speaking native language]
- Take off the hood.
- [sighs]
my god, you're clever.
But inconvenient, goren.
- Well, you know, multiple murders And one of them being my captain, inspired me.
- It's worth enough to hold you in federal detention.
- Well, if you can figure out What to charge me with, go ahead.
- You were once committed to an insane asylum.
- Yeah.
This insane thing, it follows me around, you know?
- You came in at gunpoint with a hood over your head.
You have any idea it was us?
- No, not really.
- That alone qualifies you for certification.
- There's no way that you can imagine me Being useful to you?
- That would be asking for a very high margin of trust.
- Not if what you're doing is for the greater good.
- Like you'd know what that is.
- Don't question my patriotism, okay? I resent that.
I mean, drug me, lock me up, do whatever you want to do, But, uh Don't tell me how I feel about my country.
- Whatever happens, you're gonna have problems From your own kind.
And even if you help us, When those eggs hit the police fan, There's nothing we can do for you.
- Well, ross believed in what you were doing.
And I have a lot of respect for that man so
- You took the lieutenant's exam four months ago.
Flying colors.
I assume you're looking to move into administration.
- I took it without any thought as to where it would lead.
- So you could take the captain's exam.
- I suppose.
Where is this going?
- Heading mcs.
- Me? As the mcs captain?
- You could start as pro tem replacing lieutenant maas.
- Well, if I happen to make the cut, I will be deeply honored.
- As captain pro tem, There's something needing to be dealt with As quickly as possible.
I know you have strong personal feelings, But detective goren has become a liability.
- There's blood up here.
And, uh, spilled milk.
So she's sh*t up there.
Falls down the stairs here.
- Mm
-hmm.
- What is wrong with this picture?
- Right.
Her dress.
A fall like that, it would be up.
Not like this.
Neat.
- Yeah.
It's been carefully tucked Around her calves.
- Modesty.
- Hassan.
A muslim.
They're concerned with modesty.
- His orders.
He's a leader.
They don't do the wet work.
- They called this morning.
I was her emergency contact.
- And where were you last night?
- I swear I know nothing about this.
- That's not an answer, hassan.
Emergency contact? That says you were more than just friends.
- Their affair was ending.
It was over.
- Sounds like you didn't approve.
She didn't have the right look for the first lady of puntland? Wrong color? No tribal ties?
- When's the actual power grab, hassan?
- This is a time for grief.
Can't you respect that?
- The grief for your father, whose ashes are in that urn?
- Odd choice
-
-cremation
-
- for a muslim.
- His remains were badly decomposed.
I'm guesessing they were found by van dekker.
The same ash was under his fingernails.
- There's a pretty high body count, So that you can step into the shoes Of the mad mullah.
- He didn't wear shoes.
Let's talk of how many innocents die From america's bungled efforts at nation building.
- Innocents? Like that girl whose only crime was loving you.
- She did not know him or love him.
- I think kadra is telling us that she wants first position Behind the throne.
- Back to your father.
His m*rder.
From taras broidy's cell phone records, We can document a call that you made to him On the armed yacht that hunted your father's boat.
Did you give your dad's location? Were you in on that? So that was all hassan.
- Tell him Tell me It isn't true.
- They're trying to bluff us, kadra.
- Tell me no such call was made.
- There's no question he made the call.
The only question is to what purpose.
- Was he a proud old man, your father?
- By law we are not obligated to speak to you.
- You can refuse us, but can you refuse her?
- Make him explain it, kadra.
He calls the man who k*lled your father Just hours before his death.
- We are cursed by what you've done.
- Stop! I order you: Say nothing.
- I took a life so you could rule.
- [speaking native language]
- It's over.
Tell me what to do.
- You give us a statement.
- Yes.
I sh*t her.
For him.
Because he was weak.
I am guilty.
- He's done things too.
- They are trying to use you against me.
Don't let them.
- Kadra, he ordered the m*rder of your father.
Everywhere, he leaves death.
- Still, hassan carries the blood of our mahdi.
- Passed to him by your father.
Hasn't hassan tainted that? Your faith values the loyal, dutiful daughter.
- Do you imagine that in the afterlife, Your father is not aware? Can you live on knowing the sadness That it must bring him when you protect his k*ller?
- They are right, hassan.
That is something that I cannot live with.
- We've got hassan.
[exhales]
she's given us everything.
The gunman is tristan.
By tomorrow, we'll have them both On multiple murders, including Our friend.
- We need to talk.
See, you were right, The whole thing is about stinger missiles Bound to t*rrorists.
- Yeah.
We stopped them?
- Yeah.
Privacy, in here? So this is not easy.
- What?
- Well, I think our captain needed to validate his life By taking on a dangerous assignment.
You know, he knew the risk and he didn't hide from that.
- Yes.
He's a hero.
- I think we need to protect What he diedor.
- Where is this going?
- The fbi put tracking devices In a shipment of stinger missiles, okay? They spread the word about that shipment.
They wanted it to get stolen.
The plan was to get the weapons to t*rrorists.
- The missiles have gps devices.
When they activate, The locations of t*rror1st camps will be revealed.
It can only work if hassan goes free.
- Hassan kills danny ross, Goes free, And is set up as a despot, And that validates the death of our friend? I don't accept that.
- Yeah, I
-I think because he was our friend, It's why we need to do it.
- Releasing a multiple m*rder*r is not justice.
Hassan might find the gps devices and disarm them.
- Hassan hired a technical expert To sweep and find them, But the expert was a fbi undercover.
This is what needs to happen.
Hassan needs to smuggle that shipment of weapons Into puntland, right? He needs to barter for power to warlords, to t*rrorists.
- They can be located and wiped out.
Zach, making deals that are painful, Doing things we hate Sometimes it's part of our job.
- It's what our captain believed in.
I don't think we should undercut that.
- And you're buying this?
- I'm listening.
- You've been told.
- Your evidence is flawed.
I'm to be released.
- Yeah.
You've skated on this.
So some day, I'm gonna be watching cnn Or pick up a paper And there you'll be.
- Being praised for the wisdom of my rule.
- More likely because somebody that you've trusted, As your father trusted you, will have done to you As you did to your father.
Will it come as a g*nsh*t fired by a loyal chauffeur, Poison from your favorite wife, Hanged in a basement like S*ddam hussein? It's hard to say.
But you know it's coming.
You just don't know when.
- Congratulations.
- Oh, it won't be for long, bobby.
- There's no job tough enough for you, That's for sure.
- Tough enough.
You know wt they want.
- Yeah.
You
-
-you have to fire me, right?
- Either that or they drag you to some hearing and I thought this might be
-
-
- Be kinder, gentler.
- Something like that.
- Okay.
So I'm fired.
I get it.
[chuckles]
I mean, you know, it's been a long time coming, right? I mean, there was a couple of very near, uh But, you know, now that
-
- now that it's here, it's okay.
It's not bad, actually.
- It's bad.
And you trying to make it better only makes it worse.
[sniffs]
You're the best.
You always will be.
- Sure.
I'll see you around, I guess.
- [exhales]
Chief? [clears throat]
This is detective eames.
I won't be taking that captain's exam.
