In the Brooklyn Nine-Nine season 5 episode 14 titled "The Box," Jake and Terry are assigned to work on a high-profile case together. The case involves catching a notorious drug dealer named Loo and securing his confession for all his illegal activities.
As the duo gets to work, they realize that they have a limited amount of time to get the confession that is needed, so they decide to use a controversial method to extract the truth from Loo. The method involves interrogating him in a small room, commonly referred to as "the box."
Initially, Loo seems confident that he can outsmart Jake and Terry and hold onto his secrets, but as the hours go by and the pressure builds, Loo begins to unravel. The episode is filled with tense moments as Jake and Terry push Loo to the brink of breaking, causing him to reveal more than he ever intended.
While the interrogation is taking place, the rest of the Nine-Nine team is focused on trying to track down a suspect in a separate case. Captain Holt and Rosa team up to follow leads and find the perpetrator, but when they receive a crucial piece of information, their plans quickly change.
As the two cases begin to overlap, it becomes clear that the Nine-Nine will need all hands on deck to bring both cases to a successful close.
Throughout the episode, the tension and pacing are expertly crafted, keeping the viewer engaged and on the edge of their seat until the very end. There are unexpected twists and turns along the way, making "The Box" an excellent addition to the already impressive repertoire of Brooklyn Nine-Nine episodes.
