### On L&O

When Price questions Nicole about the other man in the recording with Ava, Nicole doesn't know who the man is but he is later revealed to be Rublev. Price tells McCoy that Rublev is associated with Vladimir Putin and believes that Rublev had ordered Ava's murder and the bombing of the hotel. McCoy tells Price to prove his theory. When Dixon meets with Stabler and Jet, Jet shows Dixon the footage of Rublev meeting with Sirenko at Sirenko's club. Dixon told Stabler that the footage is good because it proves that Rublev knows Sirenko but it doesn't prove that Rublev ordered the hits. Stabler and Jet then approach Andre, the other guy in the footage, and tell him to come to the precinct for questioning. Andre voluntarily comes with Stabler and Jet but Andre won't testify and claims that he doesn't know Rublev's connection to Sirenko. Andre then tells Price and Stabler that Rublev thought Ava was recording him but doesn't know if Rublev told Sirenko to kill Ava or bomb the hotel. Andre revealed that he discovered Ava's phone and turns it in. Price and Maroun show the video of Rublev hitting on Ava and Nicole to McCoy who tells them to arrest Rublev. Cosgrove and Shaw approach Rublev to arrest him but Rublev's bodyguard interferes with the arrest. Rublev gets arrested by Cosgrove along with his bodyguard to gets arrested by Shaw. Later, Sirenko talks to Price and Maroun and confesses to working with Rublev. Sirenko claims that he feels bad about Ava but Price tells Sirenko that he doesn't want to hear it. Sirenko then tells Price and Maroun that Rublev chased after her and hit her after he discovered she was recording him. Sirenko then told Price and Maroun that Rublev ordered him to kill Ava because she was going to go to the police. Sirenko then ends up getting his end of the deal in exchange for his testimony against Rublev. When Sirenko testifies, Braun tries to make Sirenko look like an untrustworthy witness but Sirenko tells Braun that just because he kills people doesn't mean he is a liar. Later, Rublev meets with Price and claims that he wants immunity in exchange for sharing information about Putin. Price becomes hostile towards Rublev until Rublev tells Price he needs his help. Rublev becomes worried about Putin killing him and his wife and children. Price then walks off and tells Maroun that he couldn't roll over no matter what.
