In the criminal
justice system,
sexually based offenses are
considered especially heinous.
In New York City,
the dedicated detectives who
investigate these vicious felonies
are members of an elite squad
known as the Special Victims Unit.
These are their stories.
"No standing, 7:00 a.
m.
To 10:00 a.
m.
" You moron!
We barely have gas
money to get home,
and you go and park
in a tow-away zone?
Come on, Amy.
It's not
the end of the world.
Look out!
Pull over to your right.
Driver of the blue van,
pull over to your right.
You, in the blue van!
Exit the vehicle!
Keep your hands where we
can see them! Palms up!
What's your problem?
Son of a ***.
What happened?
Someone stole
his credit card.
You cancel it?
They maxed it out
before I could.
They'll reverse
the charges.
Eventually.
Make sure you file
a police report.
Trust me, I'm going to get this guy.
Hi.
Can I help you?
First of all, apologies.
I know
you were expecting me last week,
but I got held up in D.
C.
On
personal business.
Long story.
I'll tell you all about
it over drinks sometime
after we all get to
know each other better.
Great.
Who are you?
Kim Greylek.
Lateral move from
the Office of
Violence Against Women.
I'm your new A.
D.
A.
Yeah.
Sorry.
Detective Stabler.
Special Victims.
Nice to meet you all.
How old?
Yes?
Thanks.
We'll get right on it.
Got anything for me?
A car chase
involving a stolen van.
There was a victim inside?
Can you hold on a minute?
Christopher Ryan.
Our 7-year-old
driver says
he had to escape because his
foster parents were abusing him.
I just got in
an elevator,
so I'm probably going to lose
you.
I need you to fax Hello?
It's a nightmare.
My credit card company
doesn't even care
if I catch this guy.
They're just going
to cover their losses
by jacking up
the interest rates.
Am I boring you?
I'm sorry.
I got absolutely
no sleep last night.
Really? So, the blind date went well?
It didn't go
at all.
I canceled it.
Again?
Wow.
What's the worst thing
that could happen?
A 20-block car chase
hitting everything
in his path, and not a scratch on him.
No wounds at all?
Not even healed ones?
No.
His foster parents
aren't beating him.
When the assault is ***, they're
usually careful not to leave marks.
Did you do
a *** exam?
Tried.
He started kicking and
screaming before I could get close.
Well, that's a red
flag right there.
He's in here.
His clothes are gone.
They
were on that chair.
Nurse!
You don't think his
foster parents took him
Christopher?
Christopher, if you're hiding
from the doctor, he's left.
Hey.
It's a pretty cool
fort you've made here.
I'm Detective Stabler.
Go away.
Well, we're here
to help you.
It would really help my back
if we could talk over here.
Hey, Christopher.
No!
Christopher.
It's okay.
It's okay.
I don't want to go
to jail!
You don't have to go
to jail.
But you do need to tell us
why you took off in that van.
I had to!
Well, you can't go
around stealing cars.
Why? It was fun.
Christopher, you know
how dangerous that was?
You know how many people
could have been hurt?
I don't care!
I liked it.
Well, your foster parents
aren't going to like it
when they have to pay
for the damage you did.
Good! I hate them!
Why?
Christopher, why do you
hate them? What did they do?
Just Just promise you
won't send me back to them.
Please.
Foster parents are
on their way up.
Gwen and Noah Sibert.
Well, you know the drill.
Split them up.
See if one will
roll on the other.
Either one
have a record?
Just one.
Public Vagary.
I think Mumbles
here means "vagrancy.
"
No, but thanks
for playing.
Public Vagary was
a neo-punk song
Noah recorded
about 10 years ago.
I never heard it.
No one did.
But after his one no-hit
wonder, he joined a commune upstate.
Neo-punk to neo-hippy.
What is he now?
Capitalist.
Where is he?
Where's Christopher?
He's okay, right?
He's fine, which is more
than I can say for your van.
As long as he's safe,
that's all that matters.
The van is just
an old clunker.
That we just spent a fortune
turning to bio-diesel.
Gwen, it's just
a material possession.
I know.
I know.
I'm sorry.
I'm just so upset.
I turned my back
for one second,
he grabbed the keys and he was gone.
It's not your fault.
He's such a handful.
You sound overwhelmed.
What is this? I thought you
were taking us to Christopher.
He tore a long path of
destruction through the city.
I'm afraid you've got a boatload
of paperwork to deal with.
Can't that wait?
Our son needs us.
You know what
would expedite this?
Why don't you and I
go in here right now,
and Detective Tutuola
can go over things
with Mrs.
Sibert
down the hall?
Don't mind the
accommodations.
We're a little
short on space.
No.
No, no.
Why can't we stay together?
You think we did something to
him, don't you? That's crazy.
You know, when he came
to us, he was angry,
malnourished and
psychically damaged.
We've done everything we can
to love him back to health.
I'm sure you're very
affectionate towards him.
Not in any way
that's inappropriate,
if that's what
you're hinting at.
I'm not hinting
at anything.
My wife gave up
her career
to stay at home with that child
and give him a better life.
Then why was he so desperate
to get away from you?
Christopher.
Christopher.
Whoa, buddy.
Take it easy there.
It's so good.
Christopher, are you
allowed to have soft drinks?
Mmm-hmm.
Okay.
Can you
give it to me?
I think you need me
to chuck it out.
No!
Give it back!
It's mine!
No, we're all done for this time.
No!
Mine! No!
Christopher?
Hey, Christopher.
No! Christopher.
Christopher.
Christopher.
It's mine! Christopher.
Hey, hey, hey.
Let go!
Calm down!
Let me go! I hate you! Calm down!
You're stupid buttheads!
Like your foster parents? Because
they won't let you have soda?
Or eat candy or potato
chips or any good stuff!
What do they want you
to eat?
The stinky food
that they make.
They're vegetabletarians.
I hate vegetables! They make
me puke! They're torture!
This is just
a huge misunderstanding.
I swore I'd
never hurt a child.
I swear I never have.
Do your job.
We've got nothing to hide.
Why would Christopher say
that you abused him?
He's a very
unhappy kid.
Never knew his father.
His mother has
real mental problems.
She gave him up
when he was five.
He's got serious
abandonment issues.
You got to get him
some help.
You mean dope him up
on psychotropic drugs
like two-thirds of
the kids in foster care?
Try therapy.
I started in utero.
What he needs is
to feel more secure.
I think we need to
formally adopt him.
We have to give him back.
I can't take it anymore.
Gwen, motherhood's not for
everybody.
There ought to be a test.
I always wanted
to have children.
Noah was the one who said
that it was selfish,
well, you know, with all the
unwanted children in the world.
Christopher was
his idea, not yours.
But Noah's not the one stuck at
home taking care of him, is he?
No.
He didn't have
to give up his career.
We We used to
work together.
Doing what?
We started a luxury clothing line.
Eco-friendly
haute couture.
It's called
the Greenline.
While we were working
together, there was always
lots of wining and
dining the buyers.
And Noah's still out
there living it large
while you're wrangling
the Tasmanian Devil.
He breaks things.
He throws tantrums.
He doesn't listen
to a word I say.
And the constant
chattering.
He doesn't just
make up wild stories.
He tells outright lies.
He's a nightmare.
No! You promised me you
wouldn't make me go with them!
No, we didn't.
All parents
make their kids eat
their vegetables.
It's not abuse.
I know!
So why did you
pretend that it was?
Because I'm not allowed to
talk about the other thing!
Okay, what other thing?
It has to be
a secret from Noah.
You can tell us.
But if I tell, Gwen won't
sneak me any more candy.
But I don't want
to go there anymore.
Go where?
To this place.
She said it will make me
feel happy, but it doesn't.
I had to take all my clothes
off.
And they gave Gwen money.
Was it
a doctor's office?
No.
A hotel.
So we're thinking the foster
mother is pimping him out?
It gets creepier than that.
She's doing it at the Lydia Hotel.
*** ho central.
Well, problem is, Vice shut
it down earlier this year.
And we know this kid
has a wild imagination.
But why would a 7-year-old
know this place even existed?
That's the problem with
the boy that cries wolf.
Nobody pays attention
when the real one shows up.
Where's Christopher's caseworker?
She was called in from
the get-go.
Still MIA.
Stall the foster
parents until she shows.
Liv, you stay with the kid.
Fin, grab
Elliot and go check out the Lydia.
There a problem?
You know my beef with Stabler.
He's a total head case.
I'd rather have
any other partner.
It's not ladies' choice today,
Detective.
Suck it up.
Do your job.
You got my request for
transfer three months ago.
Any idea what's
holding that up?
No.
You signed off on the 57?
And gave you a glowing recommendation.
If you like, I'll call the Chief
of D's office, see where it's at.
That's great.
Thanks.
No problem.
In the meantime,
you've got an assignment.
It's not up for debate.
I'm driving.
Yeah, no.
I appreciate it.
My credit card company just
faxed over the stolen charges.
I can make some calls,
see if anyone
caught the skel
on security cam.
It's your world,
Stabler.
I'm just here
to serve you.
This is weird.
These guys usually hit
electronics, stuff they can resell.
This is all
wacky stuff.
A hand-carved
African tribal mask.
What? You consider
African art wacky?
It's wacky when I'm
the one paying for it.
You don't ask for a picture
ID with a credit card.
Now, look, you've been a big
help.
I appreciate it.
Yeah.
Just get that security
camera fixed, huh?
All right.
Some description.
The guy was black.
Had to be a brother
that jacks you up.
Girlfriend was white.
Late teens, early 20s.
Both of them had on
University of Hudson T-shirts.
I suppose that you want me to
run you over to the campus now.
No, we got something here.
What the hell is this?
I'm guessing it's
not a kiddie sex ring.
Weird group, though.
College kids.
Immigrants.
Big turnout today, huh?
Yeah, because there's no pain
involved.
That's why the money is crap.
But this application still has a
section for every part of your body.
You know how it is.
The more orifices they
probe, the more it pays.
Tell me about it.
Seriously,
tell me about it.
This is a drug testing
facility, nothing illegal.
They do clinical
trials here.
Yeah? What?
For lead poisoning?
This one's for
multiple sclerosis.
You got MS?
No.
Dude, this is
a Phase I trial.
They test it on healthy people
first to make sure it's safe.
What if it's not?
Rash, headache,
the runs
The worst side
effect I ever had
was for
an allergy medication.
My throat
swelled shut.
How many of these
have you done?
Like, 20.
You do more
than one at a time?
You're not supposed to,
but people do.
I'm in three right now
at different places.
Are you kidding me? You don't
know how these drugs will interact.
Plus, you're
screwing up their data.
Not to mention
their patients.
Professional
guinea pigs can make
doing this full-time.
I'm trying to put myself
through college right now.
I don't have time
for a real job.
You believe they're doing
medical trials in this dump?
Got to be the cheapest
lease in the city.
Well, now we know why
Christopher hates coming here.
Gwen's renting him out
as a human pincushion.
Mixing the wrong meds could
explain his bizarre behavior.
Tell me you're not
making another call
about your lousy
stolen credit card.
Now what? You think
we're going to charm
Christopher's
medical records off them?
I'm calling someone
who's anxious to help.
Subpoena duces
tecum for all records
pertaining to
Christopher Ryan.
We'll take it
from here.
I've been a desk jockey in
D.
C.
For the past three years.
Drafting legislation,
making grants
It's great to finally
be out in the trenches.
Good.
We appreciate your help.
I believe you'll
find it's all in order.
You think they pay me to
deal with crap like this?
Let me go find
the medical director.
We'll let you
get back.
Mind if I stay?
Actually, I do.
Why?
It's hard to do our jobs with the
D.
A.
looking over our shoulders.
Why? We're both working for the
same thing, justice for the victim.
Back in D.
C.
, they
called me "The Crusader.
"
Look Nice name.
I'm sure
you're very good in the court,
but dealing with
suspects out on the street
just requires
a different people skill.
Do you have any idea how much
wheeling and dealing goes on in D.
C?
I've got people skills.
Dr.
Eichenberry will
see you in her office.
Don't worry
about cranky balls.
He's only nice
to the victims.
Hold on.
I'm monitoring a weeklong
study on a narcolepsy drug,
and the subject
just conked out on me.
Lady, you got
bigger problems than
this guy catching up
on his beauty sleep.
You experiment
on children here?
In order to ultimately help them, yes.
Yeah, well,
I hate to tell you,
one of your drugs
causes road rage.
That's not a good side
effect in a 7-year-old.
Christopher Ryan.
What's he on?
Experimental med
for ADHD.
Who authorized that?
Not the kid.
Foster mother allowed to put his health
at risk just to make a buck off of him?
I think there's
some confusion here.
The rules for kids are
different from adults.
They have to have the disease or
the condition that's being studied.
Christopher was
already hyperactive.
So that gives
you the right to
poke and prod him
like a lab rat.
We're helping children,
Detective.
Until a decade ago,
kids were hardly
ever included
in these studies.
Since they have been,
we've found
about a fifth that
listed the wrong dosage.
Another fifth
didn't work at all.
And in a third, we discovered
new pediatric safety issues.
Safety? You're conducting
experiments out of a rat hole,
exploiting
desperate people.
We are closely monitored
by a private review board.
And every test subject
gives informed consent,
meaning that they are made
aware of all possible risks.
Noah.
Noah, wait.
Listen, I can explain.
I cannot believe
you gave him drugs.
It was him or me.
I was at my wit's end.
They trusted us
to help this boy.
You made his
life worse!
I thought I was
helping him!
We had a game plan!
No, you!
You.
You had a game plan.
This was your cause of the
moment from the very start.
I never had
any say in it.
Stop making up stories, Gwen.
Okay? Just shut up!
No.
You never had to deal with
him.
He was driving me nuts.
Hey, Mr.
And Mrs.
Sibert.
Hey, champ.
How you doing, bud?
I'm starving.
Well, I would say you deserve
a great big frozen yogurt, then.
I want chocolate
ice cream.
Okay.
Chocolate it is.
Hey, Christopher.
If you ever
feel like you're in trouble again,
I want you to call me
at this number, okay?
Okay.
You take care of yourself.
Can I push the button?
Just the one marked "G.
"
Christopher.
Please.
Something tells me
the Siberts
won't be Christopher's
last foster parents.
What about the other
kids in this study?
Report the clinic
to the group
who's supposed to
be monitoring them.
Well, I'm going to make sure that
this one goes to the top of their pile.
Well,
do it tomorrow.
Go home.
You look like you
could use a little sleep.
Yeah.
Okay.
Night.
Hey.
Whoa.
Didn't mean to scare you.
I'm usually more careful about
sneaking up on people who carry guns.
I'm sorry.
I'm usually not this jumpy.
You don't remember me.
We
worked on another case together.
Tonya Majeski? ACS?
Yes, of course.
You're
Christopher's caseworker.
Yes.
I brought you
a copy of his file.
I stopped by the Siberts'
to check up on them.
We've scheduled
a few sessions
to determine how
we should proceed.
Well, you have a good one.
Thank you.
Oh, my God.
There a problem?
Christopher's
birth mother.
Caitlyn Ryan.
Before she gave up custody
of him, she was a *** victim.
It was my case.
Caitlyn?
It's Olivia Benson.
Caitlyn, it's important.
It's about Christopher.
Did something
happen to him?
He's okay, but I really need
to talk to you.
May I come in?
I'm not dressed.
The place is a mess.
That's okay.
My place is
a disaster area, trust me.
Please.
I must look awful.
No, you look fine.
I would have called first, but
your number was disconnected.
I had a really
tough time finding you.
When you move, we need
to update your file.
Why? So you can call and remind me
you're never going
to find my ***?
Caitlyn? Your case is cold,
but it is not closed.
I'm not going to wake up
and suddenly know
what my *** looked
like behind his mask.
We've cracked cases
a lot older than this one.
Yeah.
With DNA.
I should have scratched him,
so you'd have some.
I should have
fought back, you know?
I mean, I would have, but I just
But what?
I don't know how I
let it get this bad.
Please.
I sleep on
my couch quite often.
Do you need to
have the TV on?
You said you came
here about Chris.
Yeah.
I met Christopher
through the Siberts.
I was surprised to find out
that he was your son.
I never got to
meet him before.
Well, he was only five.
I just didn't want him
to know anything about it.
You know, I mean,
my only salvation
is that he was at
a sleepover the night that,
you know,
that thing broke in.
Caitlyn,
why did you give
Christopher up?
Look at me.
I mean, at first,
I could function.
Then I just started reliving
it all the time, you know?
I couldn't
concentrate at work,
so I lost my job,
and I lost my apartment.
And then I just
wanted to sleep.
I mean,
he would literally, like,
beg me to fix him
something to eat.
But I just
let him go hungry.
I'm not a fit mother.
Caitlyn.
Caitlyn, listen to me.
You have ***
trauma syndrome.
It's a form of PTSD.
You need therapy.
And when you get better, you're
going to get Christopher back.
No.
That's never
going to happen.
Will you talk to a
*** crisis counselor?
I did.
I joined a group.
I've done it all.
I got nothing.
I got a new home
for Chris.
That's all I got.
What do you mean?
That's where I
met Gwen Sibert.
She was
a *** victim, too.
So why didn't your wife mention
that she was a *** victim
raising another
victim's son?
It had nothing to
do with Christopher.
It happened five years ago,
before we were married.
Well, that would
have been our case.
Did Gwen not report it? Give me that!
Christopher!
Play nice, kiddo.
She reported it.
We lived in
Jersey City then.
Did they catch
the guy?
No.
And he better
pray they never do.
Gwen met Caitlyn
in therapy,
but she told
Detective Tutuola
that it was your idea
to take Christopher in.
It was.
Gwen told me that Caitlyn was
having a rough time raising him
and she should
have known better.
I like to fix things.
That's how Gwen
and I got together.
After she was attacked,
I went over there
to fix her locks,
look in on her.
We fell in love.
So where do things
stand with Christopher?
I want to keep him.
Gwen wants
to give him back to Caitlyn.
Hey.
What about
my mom?
She's still
kind of sick, champ.
But she told me that she
really, really misses you.
No, she doesn't.
She hates me.
That's not true.
Is so.
She used to love me,
till that man made her sad.
Then she gave me away.
What man? Was he real or pretend?
Real.
What did he look like?
I don't know.
He was wearing a mask.
Christopher wasn't
at a sleepover
the night that
Caitlyn Ryan was ***.
He was in the bedroom
right next to hers.
Victims always hold
something back.
I hate that.
Usually a detail
they're embarrassed about.
Why did she
keep that from us?
Maternal instinct.
You talked to Christopher?
Yes.
And if we'd talked
to him two years ago,
we would have known that Caitlyn
belonged to our pattern ***.
Annabelle Ashton.
Four years cold.
Emily Johannsen
is under a year,
but we linked
that to Annabelle's.
And there was a third.
Natalie Clay.
All three single mothers of a
young boy, just like Caitlyn.
Masked, break-in ***.
Aside from
the ***, none of them were battered.
Well, they couldn't fight back.
The perp threatened to
kill their kid if they did.
He told them
all that they were
a bad mother, just
like he did to Caitlyn.
Victims had that in
common.
Nothing else.
Add Caitlyn to the pin map.
See if she fills in a pattern.
He never hit the same neighborhood
twice, and Caitlyn's no exception.
Hold up.
Emily Johannsen
was *** in her apartment.
But we looked really hard at a
bartender from her favorite dive
a block away from
Caitlyn's apartment.
The smell of stale beer
and quiet desperation.
Did I ever tell you about
the bar I owned in Baltimore?
About a kazillion times.
I'd like to open one up here, but
the real estate's a bit pricier.
Henry working here
today?
I'm going to need investors.
You interested?
What are you smoking?
Come on.
Then we'd get to still
be partners after
you left the squad.
That is, if you're really leaving.
Watch me.
You know, if one more person dumps me,
I'm going to start
taking it personally.
Aside from my wives, there was
Jeffries, Cassidy, Meldrick,
Stan "The Big
Man" Bolander
Stan "The Man" was my mentor in
Baltimore, just like I am yours.
Circle of life, my
friend.
Circle of life.
Not youse guys again.
Okay.
He remembers us.
How about her,
Henry?
Never seen her before.
She get ***?
Who said anything
about ***?
You did, the last hundred
times you hassled me
about that
other girl, Emily.
And I was totally
straight with you.
Flirted with her.
Never did her.
But you insisted
on carding her,
even though she was
well past the drinking age.
When you ask to see the older
ladies' IDs, you get a bigger tip.
And you get to look at their
home address on their license.
Emily sat right in this bar and
told you everything about her kid.
And the party in
my pants was over.
That's the reason
I didn't do her.
The bartender handed
me back my license,
told me that I
looked hot for my age.
I'm 34.
He propositioned you?
It was all
lame innuendo.
"Babe, you're making
my job really hard tonight.
"You're making it hard.
"
It was
And you spoke to
him for a while.
Yeah, only because
I was sloshed on mojitos.
I would have never
let him touch me.
I know, Emily.
I'm just asking
if you remember what his
voice sounded like.
Raspy.
My ***'s voice
was a hoarse whisper.
No Brooklyn accent.
Accents can be faked.
No.
It has to be someone from the
online dating service for single mothers.
We checked out
everyone you e-mailed.
Yeah, but you never found
the one that stood me up.
You said he signed on at an Internet
cafe.
Pre-paid card.
Dave Jones?
I mean
It even sounds fake.
A lot of people
go to extremes
to protect their
identity online.
Yeah, well, I sat at that
coffee shop for an hour.
So maybe he came
and he followed me home.
Because I was ***
a week later.
None of the other victims
used that dating service.
You're positive
it wasn't Henry?
No.
I never went
into that bar.
And you never took Christopher
to swim classes at the Y.
And you never used
an online dating service?
Caitlyn, please.
This is really important.
I need you to answer me.
Have you?
Once.
A free trial session.
Okay.
Well, you said that you hadn't.
I was embarrassed.
This girl at work,
she made me
go on this site
on her computer.
It was for single mothers.
Did you meet anybody
on it?
No.
One guy on
there sounded great.
We were supposed
to meet for coffee.
He never showed up.
I'm not lying to you.
I've
never done online dating.
Natalie, it's just very important.
It could help us
catch your ***.
I've been hounding
you for two years
with every humiliating
detail I remember.
Why wouldn't
I tell you that?
What about
chat rooms?
Or anyone you've met with
the last name of Jones?
Nat? We've got a situation
in the dressing rooms.
Excuse me.
I'll be right back.
Stabler.
Yeah.
Did you get
a picture?
Okay.
Great.
I'll be down.
One of the charges
on my stolen credit card,
yeah, Bonnie and Clyde used
it to get matching tattoos.
Him on the wrist,
her on the inner thigh.
That should make the lineup
easier when you catch them.
What?
Look at the designer
label.
The Greenline.
Isn't that the Siberts' clothing line?
Natalie Clay
started doing business
with the Siberts
before her ***.
Noah knew she was
single with a son.
Could be coincidence.
What about
the first victim,
Annabelle Ashton?
No connection so far, but
she got the hell out of Dodge
after her *** four years
ago.
Still tracking her down.
Hey, guys.
Noah's old
punk band, Public Vagary?
His bandmates were twins.
Dave and Danny Jones.
He used their names
on the dating website.
Emily answered David Jones'
ad and Caitlyn answered Dan's.
Noah Sibert marries a ***
victim and then starts raping?
Right.
Women with little boys.
Now the son of a ***
is raising one of them.
First, you accuse me of child abuse,
now ***.
Where does this end?
With justice.
For Natalie, Emily,
Annabelle and Caitlyn.
All single moms working
outside the home.
You got a problem
with that, don't you?
No.
Come on, Noah.
You forced your own wife to quit
her job when you got Christopher.
Which was the first time
that I ever met Caitlyn.
Months after
she was ***.
Yeah.
That must have been
a turn-on for you, huh?
Your wife comes home
from her support group,
tells you this
poor woman's story,
and you're hearing all the details
of the ***
that you committed.
My wife was ***.
Yeah.
You ask Gwen how
supportive I've been.
We know how you
like to fix things.
The planet, damaged women,
neglected little boys
Just like yourself.
We hear that your mom
didn't stick around
after your father left.
Let's leave her
out of this.
We know you had issues.
You ran away
when you were 16.
You haven't
talked to her since.
Did you *** all these
women to punish Mommy?
I left home
to join a band.
That failed
so miserably,
you never dreamed
that anybody would notice
that you used your bandmates'
names on that dating website.
Danny and Dave?
Yeah.
Someone's using
Jones as an alias?
Natalie I know
from my business.
What's my six degrees of separation
from this woman, Annabelle?
All right, tell you
what.
You're innocent.
Do a voice lineup.
Number one,
please step forward
and loudly whisper
the line you were given.
You're a bad mother.
Number two.
You're a bad mother.
Number three.
You're a bad mother.
Number four.
You're a bad mother.
Number five.
You're a bad mother.
It was like a harsher whisper.
Like, throatier.
Number five, repeat the line, more
from the throat, a little harsher.
You're a bad mother.
Number five.
Great job.
Come on.
She picked your client,
Mr.
Strauss.
But Emily and Natalie picked number two.
I have to admit, two's voice even
scared me.
I assume we're done?
You assumed wrong.
We'll be in touch.
What was that?
I thought you were supposed
to be "The Crusader.
"
We need to find
the fourth victim.
I take this to the grand jury with
only one of the three picking Noah,
they'll blow it out
and then we're finished.
We're going home now.
Not with Christopher.
I'm his legal guardian.
You have no say in it.
Well, his caseworker
does.
She's on her way.
Christopher?
Oh, my God.
You've gotten so big.
You worthless ***!
No.
Caitlyn,
go back into the squad room.
I don't understand.
You miserable ingrate.
After all
we've done for you,
you lying ***!
Gwen.
First, you saddle me with
this messed-up little kid
Gwen!
and then
And then you make these
ridiculous accusations
Mrs.
Sibert?
towards my husband?
What are you talking about?
I was just here for a lineup.
I hate you!
I hate you!
Christopher? You leave
her alone! Leave her alone!
Christopher.
She's my real mom, not you!
Fine.
Fine.
Stop it! Stop it!
Take him back.
Take him
back.
Leave her alone!
Gwen.
That's my mom! Please! Stop!
That is the best
revenge I could wish on you.
You *** me.
You're sick.
You're nothing but a liar.
Gwen,
let's go now.
Don't.
Hey, champ.
I'm not abandoning you.
I'm going to fight to get you back,
okay? You know I love you, right?
It's all slobbery.
Yeah.
I know it is.
Don't touch
your cheek.
Don't touch your cheek.
All right,
come with me.
That should do it.
I'll let you know
if we get DNA.
Thanks.
Not that we have
anything to compare it against.
This guy's
been careful.
Yeah.
Maybe he wasn't
when he first started.
Christopher.
I'm so sorry.
I'm going to do whatever I can
to make this up to you, okay?
How come you
gave me away?
Why didn't you want to
be my mom anymore?
I never stopped
wanting that.
I just
Mommy's been
very sick, okay?
I'm going to do everything
I can to get better, okay?
So I can be a good mom.
Okay.
Okay.
I love you.
I love you, too.
Hi, Tonya.
Please.
Please,
can I take him home?
As soon as we can show the court
that it's a safe environment.
Don't cry, Mama.
It'll be okay.
Yeah.
I promise you
it will be.
Those people starved me to death.
I need a hamburger right now.
Okay.
Come on.
You'll get him back.
I'm afraid I've
got some bad news.
What now?
I heard back from the Chief of
D's office.
You know a Greg Burkle?
Oh, no.
Who's that?
Guy I used to work
with back in Narcotics.
After his wife divorced him,
she started calling me.
Damn.
Well, Greg's at One PP now.
He's in charge of
processing transfers.
Guess I'm not
going anywhere soon.
Well, you know you
could never leave me.
Captain, Fin and I
are thinking of going
in on a bar.
You want to buy in?
Well, gee, John,
I don't know.
Let me run it by the guys
at my next AA meeting.
Yeah!
I reached out to
a friend of mine.
He does security at
Hudson U.
Got my guy.
He's running him over now.
If
anything breaks, just come get me.
Dad?
Kathleen, what are you doing here?
You had my boyfriend
arrested? What the hell?
What are you
talking about?
Tony didn't steal
your credit card.
I had to buy some
books for school,
so I borrowed it when
I was home on Sunday.
You didn't buy any books.
You never told me
you had a boyfriend.
Well, I do.
And you
better make it right.
I'd better make What
did you just say to me?
What did you just
say to me?
El.
Tony didn't
do anything.
We're not going to
talk about this now.
And you're going to get that
thing removed from your leg.
You have a tattoo.
What have
you got, Liv?
I found our fourth victim,
Annabelle Ashton.
She moved back to
Iowa after her ***.
She killed herself
last year.
If we had found
Noah earlier
All right,
all right, all right.
Look, you can't do
this to yourself.
You can't go there.
Hey, guys.
We got a hit off Noah's DNA.
Why are you
doing this to us?
This is crazy.
Gwen.
He couldn't
have done it.
Gwen, it was him.
It was
the only time he left DNA.
After that, he started
covering his tracks.
It's not possible.
Listen to me.
The DNA from your *** kit
was entered into
CODIS five years ago.
The match was confirmed.
Noah *** you.
Noah? Noah, tell them
that they're wrong.
Tell them
that they're wrong.
Baby, why aren't you telling
them that they're wrong?
Gwen, listen to me.
You need to
tell them what really happened.
What?
That you filed
a false police report.
Oh, God.
No.
The sex we had
was consensual.
No.
No, God.
No.
You're telling me
I married
I married my own ***?
I loved you.
You never had the time
of day for me before that.
It all turned out
all right.
I made you feel safe.
You fell in love with me.
Do you know how
I feel right now?
Sorry about that.
Noah Sibert
accepted the plea deal.
Surprised you
offered him one.
I thought you were dying to
strut your stuff in the courtroom.
It's not about me.
There were a lot of traumatized
victims in this case.
Now they won't be
dragged though a trial.
So what's he get?
The max.
You are good.
How did you do that?
Threatened him with a penalty
enhancement of 25 years.
How?
The New York
Hate Crimes Statute
covers race, color, ***
orientation, religion and gender.
Noah targeted a
specific subset of women.
Most rapists do.
He actually
believed you could
charge him with
*** as a hate crime?
No one's been able
to pull that one off.
He knows I intend
to be the first.
I wasn't bluffing.
It's my pet project.
Maybe on the next one.
So how does this work? Do we all
go out for a celebratory drink?
Well, if we had a bar,
drinks would be on the house.
Where's Olivia?
It happened
four months ago.
I was working
undercover in a prison
and a male guard
tried to *** me.
And I was
I was okay at first.
And then
I've started
reliving it.
I just feel really jumpy,
and I can't sleep.
And I feel very
out of control.
And the thing is, is
that I wasn't even ***.
Olivia, you were
sexually assaulted.
He came so close,
and there was
nothing that I
could do to stop him.
He had a weapon.
And he completely overpowered me.
And I never should have
let him take me down there.
Because I know
better than that.
*** victims often
blame themselves.
You know how misplaced that blame is.
I know.
I know.
I know that here.
I've told that same
thing to a lot of women.
But now, I
I feel
I feel like I don't
deserve to be here.
But I feel like
I feel like he has
He stole something
from me.
And
And I need help
dealing with it.
