Summary[]
A girl is shot and Cosgrove teams up with Shaw to track down her killer, while Benson and Stabler assist and realize that the case is more than a typical homicide. Meanwhile, McCoy and Price seek justice against an international crime ring.
Plot[]
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 form 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, Vincent Lowe, was killed by Sirenko. Price meets with Rublev to talk about a deal which Price does not accept. As they leave, Rublev is shot and Price tries to help him but he dies. Price's deal with Sirenko now stands as Rublev is now dead.
