What will Season 5 of Law & Order: Organized Crime be about?
“Season 5 explores the dangerous worlds of cross-border smuggling, high-tech domestic terrorism and a crime family intent on repaying Stabler for the injury he did them in Rome,” an official synopsis of the show reads. “As his worlds collide, Stabler will put everything on the line to protect the vulnerable and fight for justice."
Det. Reyes, who’s an undercover expert, and Det. Slootmaekers, a tech genius, will help expose the dark and complex criminal world of the bureau’s targets.
While on assignment, Stabler will depend on his brother Randall to help keep their family safe.
