Imaginary Latvian Street Gang in Boston
in the TNT series “Rizzoli & Isles” (2016), based on the series of novels by Tess Gerritsen
Frankie: Agris Vilks, boss of the Quint Street Boys.
Rizzoli: Nice scar.
Frankie: Oh, they’re ruthless. Into the usual things: drugs, prostitution, gambling. But they’ve done a good job laundering their money through legit businesses like junkyards, construction, auto-repair shops.
Rizzoli: Anything blue-collar.
Frankie: Yeah. They like to fit in and fly under the radar.
Vince: Interpol got a hit on the victim’s fingerprints in Latvia. His name is Egons Kronis. They believe he’s a hit man for the Latvian mob.
Rizzoli: So Nicky has a fallout with the gang, and they bring in a pro from Latvia to take him out?
Vince: They wanted the kid dead real bad.
Rizzoli: And they wanted it done right.
Nina: When Frankie told me about Nicky, I dug a little deeper into Katrin’s background in Latvia. She had a sister there who passed away about a year ago, and she had a son named Nicholas Bartulis.
Rizzoli: That’s little Nicky.
Nina: Yep, and he entered the country on a tourist visa about a year ago.
Vince: So Katrin didn’t have her son living with her. It was her nephew.
Rizzoli: And if Nicky’s hurt and all of his friends are after him, there’s only one place that he would turn for help.
Vince: Good old Aunt Katrin.
Frankie: No, we have uniforms all over that neighborhood. No one’s seen Nicky.
Rizzoli: Okay, pull ’em off.
Frankie: Why?
Vince: Because we want Nicky to think it’s finally safe to go back to Katrin’s place.
Rizzoli: Yeah, and I want to be there for that happy reunion.
Rizzoli: Pull up all the salvage yards in the North end. Let me see a list of the Quint Street Boys gang members. Look at the owner for M&G Auto Salvage.
Vince: Mauris Fogel.
Rizzoli: Yep. Look at the third name on the Quint Street Boys list.
Vince: Guntis Fogel.
Frankie: We got an “M” and a “G.
Rizzoli: And we have an address.
