1. In the criminal
justice system...
Copy !req
2. sexually based offenses are
considered especially heinous.
Copy !req
3. In New York City,
the dedicated detectives
Copy !req
4. who investigate
these vicious felonies...
Copy !req
5. are members of an elite squad
known as the Special Victims Unit.
Copy !req
6. These are their stories.
Copy !req
7. So I got all the cables
hooked up.
Copy !req
8. I tried to print, nothing.
Copy !req
9. My 10-year-old comes over, a few
clicks on the mouse, it works.
Copy !req
10. It's getting so that you can't navigate
a computer, it's like being illiterate.
Copy !req
11. We're dinosaurs.
Copy !req
12. 31, silent alarm
at Lorenzo Storage.
Copy !req
13. 569 West 124 Street.
Copy !req
14. Sector car's at the house.
Let's take it.
Copy !req
15. One Sergeant responding.
Copy !req
16. Copy that, One Sergeant.
Copy !req
17. You okay?
Copy !req
18. Banged my foot
on some piece of crap.
Copy !req
19. You want to check over there?
Copy !req
20. I don't see anything.
Copy !req
21. Karen?
Copy !req
22. Karen?
Copy !req
23. Service, we're right around
the corner going to back up...
Copy !req
24. One Sergeant
at Lorenzo Storage.
Copy !req
25. Karen?
Copy !req
26. You in there?
Copy !req
27. One David. ETA to Lorenzo
Storage, one minute.
Copy !req
28. We got backup on the way!
Copy !req
29. You hold on!
Copy !req
30. 10-13.
Copy !req
31. One Sergeant.
10-13 at this location.
Copy !req
32. Officer needs help!
Copy !req
33. What's up?
Copy !req
34. We got a 10-13
eight blocks away.
Copy !req
35. You all right?
Copy !req
36. Yeah. Drive.
Copy !req
37. It's the pills, isn't it?
Copy !req
38. Yeah.
Copy !req
39. Ambulance is on the way.
Copy !req
40. Wish they got here
as fast as you did.
Copy !req
41. What happened?
Copy !req
42. Sergeant and the driver took a
call for a silent alarm break-in.
Copy !req
43. They got separated,
perp grabbed the Sergeant.
Copy !req
44. Where'd you find her?
Copy !req
45. In the stairwell with her pants
down. Looks like he raped her...
Copy !req
46. after he put a garbage bag
over her head.
Copy !req
47. The perp got out of the building through
an emergency exit in the stairwell...
Copy !req
48. with her gun and wallet.
Copy !req
49. How's she doing?
Copy !req
50. Pretty bad.
Copy !req
51. We didn't move her in case
she hurt her neck or something.
Copy !req
52. The perp used some kind of blunt object
to choke her. A piece of pipe or something.
Copy !req
53. A crowbar?
Copy !req
54. Make sure they check
for prints on the door.
Copy !req
55. CSU's en route.
Copy !req
56. The rest of the squad's
looking for the doer.
Copy !req
57. Oh, God.
Copy !req
58. What's the matter?
Copy !req
59. That's Karen Smythe.
Copy !req
60. She trained me.
Copy !req
61. How long was she in there?
Copy !req
62. I'm not sure.
Copy !req
63. At least five minutes.
Copy !req
64. More like ten.
Copy !req
65. Felt like an hour.
Copy !req
66. Take it easy, Mitch.
Copy !req
67. I got too far
ahead of her.
Copy !req
68. All I could do was bang
on that door.
Copy !req
69. You scared the perp off.
Copy !req
70. Come on. You can't be
blaming yourself, all right?
Copy !req
71. I'm her partner.
Copy !req
72. Guys, my boss
has just arrived.
Copy !req
73. I expect all of you down
at our offices in an hour.
Copy !req
74. Anything we can do.
Copy !req
75. How's she doing?
Copy !req
76. Semi-conscious.
Copy !req
77. Doctor says her airway wasn't cut off
long enough to cause any brain damage.
Copy !req
78. Where's your partner?
Copy !req
79. She's in there with her.
Copy !req
80. They've got history.
Copy !req
81. She able to give you anything?
Copy !req
82. Not yet.
Copy !req
83. What'd the partner say?
Copy !req
84. Nothing too reliable.
Copy !req
85. The guy's still in shock.
You know her, Olivia?
Copy !req
86. She got any family?
Copy !req
87. Just her ex-husband.
Copy !req
88. We'll do the notification.
Copy !req
89. I'm going to stay with her
in case she wakes up.
Copy !req
90. Okay. Look, everybody's
working this one.
Copy !req
91. Nobody's going home.
She wakes up, says anything...
Copy !req
92. I'll call you.
Copy !req
93. He broke in
through this door...
Copy !req
94. raped and robbed
Sergeant Karen Smythe...
Copy !req
95. and now this perp
has a cop's gun as a trophy.
Copy !req
96. We got to get him in fast.
Copy !req
97. Anything from Forensics?
Copy !req
98. Found the crowbar outside
the back of the warehouse.
Copy !req
99. CSU went to the hospital to see if the
rust on it matches marks on Sergeant Smythe.
Copy !req
100. Similar burglaries?
Copy !req
101. Checking.
Copy !req
102. Crowbar isn't exactly
a unique method of entry.
Copy !req
103. It's possible this guy was a
burglar who saw a woman alone...
Copy !req
104. as an opportunity, but for
now we rule nothing out.
Copy !req
105. Any other rape cases where the perp used
a garbage bag to cover the victim's head?
Copy !req
106. I'll call on that.
Copy !req
107. Everybody else,
hit the street.
Copy !req
108. Canvass for perp sightings,
possible witnesses.
Copy !req
109. Finding this guy is job one.
He tried to kill a cop.
Copy !req
110. He's not going to care
who his next victim is.
Copy !req
111. You look like the one
who got strangled.
Copy !req
112. I'm okay.
Copy !req
113. Elliot, a minute?
Copy !req
114. You forgot to call
on the pattern rapes.
Copy !req
115. I was just getting to it.
Copy !req
116. Elliot. Get some rest.
Copy !req
117. A cop was just raped
and nearly choked to death.
Copy !req
118. This anti-HIV medicine
is still making you sick.
Copy !req
119. Take some time
until you're done with it.
Copy !req
120. You think I'm not
up to the job?
Copy !req
121. You saved a life,
exposed yourself to HIV.
Copy !req
122. You have nothing to prove.
Copy !req
123. Is it an order?
Not yet.
Copy !req
124. Trust me to come to you
if it's a problem.
Copy !req
125. We came up the back stairs,
heard pounding on the door.
Copy !req
126. Followed the noise to the
front stairs, came down.
Copy !req
127. Sergeant Smythe
was lying there.
Copy !req
128. Any sign of the perp?
Copy !req
129. Nothing but the crowbar.
Copy !req
130. We didn't go after him.
Copy !req
131. We were more concerned
about the Sarge.
Copy !req
132. Where were you guys
when you got the call?
Copy !req
133. About ten blocks away, in
our sector, on a meal break.
Copy !req
134. You know how it is
when you get a 13.
Copy !req
135. Cop's in trouble,
we haul ass.
Copy !req
136. You guys work the area. Anybody
on your radar could have done this?
Copy !req
137. That part of the precinct
is skell heaven.
Copy !req
138. Just toss out a net
and haul them in.
Copy !req
139. You hear anything
from the hospital?
Copy !req
140. 15 minutes ago.
She's not conscious yet.
Copy !req
141. When did you lose her?
Copy !req
142. I don't know. She was behind
me, and then she was gone.
Copy !req
143. The place was so dark, you couldn't
see your hand in front of your face.
Copy !req
144. And then you saw
her flashlight?
Copy !req
145. Yeah. I heard noises from
behind the stairwell door.
Copy !req
146. Just breathe. Relax. Come on.
Take your time. Sit down.
Copy !req
147. It's hard, you know?
Copy !req
148. I do know. Is this when
you called for backup?
Copy !req
149. Yeah.
Copy !req
150. The door was locked.
Copy !req
151. It happened so fast.
Copy !req
152. How long before they arrived?
Copy !req
153. After I called the 13, couldn't have
been more than a couple of minutes.
Copy !req
154. Bates and Towne opened
the door from the inside.
Copy !req
155. Hey.
Copy !req
156. How long you been up?
Copy !req
157. Couple of hours.
Copy !req
158. I didn't want to wake you.
Copy !req
159. You're still taking care
of the rookie?
Copy !req
160. Looks like
it's the other way around.
Copy !req
161. We're going to get
this bastard, Karen.
Copy !req
162. You can count on that.
Copy !req
163. I might be worried if you were
still as green as when I got you.
Copy !req
164. Do you remember the time...
Copy !req
165. when the Lieutenant sent me
up to the roof of the precinct?
Copy !req
166. To turn the lights on so that the
captain could land his chopper...
Copy !req
167. and inspect the building?
Copy !req
168. You asked me...
Copy !req
169. if you needed red paddles
to guide him in.
Copy !req
170. I didn't take that too well, did I? No!
Copy !req
171. No, not at all.
Copy !req
172. Rookie paranoia.
Copy !req
173. If they didn't like you, they'd
have picked on someone else.
Copy !req
174. Last night, I froze.
Copy !req
175. It was like
I was outside of my body...
Copy !req
176. looking down at myself.
Copy !req
177. You dissociated.
That's normal.
Copy !req
178. I know.
Copy !req
179. What do you remember?
Copy !req
180. We were in the warehouse.
Copy !req
181. Mitch tripped...
Copy !req
182. I asked him if he was okay.
Copy !req
183. Couldn't see anything that wasn't in
the flashlight beam, it was so dark.
Copy !req
184. Then someone grabbed me
by the throat.
Copy !req
185. Put something over my head.
Copy !req
186. What was it?
Copy !req
187. It was a plastic bag.
Copy !req
188. Then he dragged me...
Copy !req
189. then he threw me down...
Copy !req
190. tore my pants off...
Copy !req
191. and then he was inside me.
Copy !req
192. He never said a word.
Copy !req
193. Then he put something hard
against my throat.
Copy !req
194. Like a pipe.
Copy !req
195. Yeah.
Copy !req
196. We think that was the crowbar
that he used to break in.
Copy !req
197. I couldn't breathe.
Copy !req
198. Next thing, I'm looking
at you sleeping there.
Copy !req
199. Was the rape kit positive?
Copy !req
200. It's not back yet, but the
Luma Light didn't show anything.
Copy !req
201. Any suspects?
Copy !req
202. Not yet.
Copy !req
203. Then stop babysitting me
and go find one.
Copy !req
204. Okay.
Copy !req
205. Hey...
Copy !req
206. you feeling any better?
Copy !req
207. Yeah. I caught some sleep
up in the crib.
Copy !req
208. How's Smythe?
She's awake.
Copy !req
209. She's going to be okay.
Copy !req
210. Say anything?
No.
Copy !req
211. You sure you're okay?
Copy !req
212. You tell Cragen about what happened
last night? Me getting sick?
Copy !req
213. You heard what I said. You
were standing right there.
Copy !req
214. I haven't seen him since.
Why?
Copy !req
215. Boss wanted
to send me home.
Copy !req
216. But he didn't.
Good decision.
Copy !req
217. But that stuff right there,
that'll kill you.
Copy !req
218. Yeah. Have you been
in the squad room?
Copy !req
219. No. Why?
Hold your nose.
Copy !req
220. Lab call yet?
Nope.
Copy !req
221. They're taking
their sweet time.
Copy !req
222. Sit.
Copy !req
223. I can't take much more
of this stench.
Copy !req
224. Eau de cologne of the streets. The sights,
sounds, aromas of the "other" New York.
Copy !req
225. This guy you need
gloves to handle.
Copy !req
226. You know where you are?
Copy !req
227. It ain't an outhouse.
Copy !req
228. It ain't the White House.
Copy !req
229. So it might be
the stationhouse.
Copy !req
230. Good guess.
Copy !req
231. Easier to sweep the sands off the beach
than get anything out of these guys.
Copy !req
232. Hey, we got a live one.
Copy !req
233. Overtime?
Copy !req
234. Our own time.
Copy !req
235. What's so special
about this one?
Copy !req
236. This.
Copy !req
237. We found him sleeping down
the block from the warehouse.
Copy !req
238. Nice work.
Copy !req
239. You want in
on this interrogation?
Copy !req
240. No. We just want
to get some sleep.
Copy !req
241. He comes up as the doer,
collar's all yours.
Copy !req
242. You're in deep doo-doo.
Copy !req
243. I swear, I found it
in a dumpster.
Copy !req
244. When?
Copy !req
245. I don't wear no watch.
Copy !req
246. What dumpster?
Copy !req
247. A few blocks from where
they found that police lady.
Copy !req
248. I ain't had no part in that.
Copy !req
249. I was sleeping in an alley during
all that commotion nonsense.
Copy !req
250. Let's continue this scintillating
repartee in more comfortable surroundings.
Copy !req
251. You got something
to eat back there?
Copy !req
252. We'll see what
we can scrounge up.
Copy !req
253. Okay. Thank you.
Copy !req
254. Guys, wait a minute.
Copy !req
255. What?
Copy !req
256. Last week, a woman
in Queens was raped...
Copy !req
257. nearly choked to death
in a warehouse.
Copy !req
258. The perp broke
into that warehouse...
Copy !req
259. using a crowbar.
Three days ago she woke up...
Copy !req
260. and told Queens SVU...
Copy !req
261. her attacker put a plastic bag
over her head.
Copy !req
262. A repeater.
Copy !req
263. Carrying a cop's gun.
Copy !req
264. I was in the back
of the warehouse...
Copy !req
265. doing inventory.
Copy !req
266. What time was it?
Copy !req
267. About 10:30.
Copy !req
268. I hear footsteps...
Copy !req
269. and I thought it was Cathy,
this girl that I work with.
Copy !req
270. What happened?
Copy !req
271. I got down off the ladder...
Copy !req
272. and he grabbed me.
Copy !req
273. Put a bag over my head...
Copy !req
274. and he started punching me.
Copy !req
275. He threw me down
on a stack of boxes...
Copy !req
276. and I couldn't stop him.
He raped me.
Copy !req
277. Did you get a look at him?
Copy !req
278. No.
Copy !req
279. After he raped you?
Copy !req
280. He choked me.
Copy !req
281. Next thing I knew,
I woke up in the hospital.
Copy !req
282. Did he take anything
from you?
Copy !req
283. A gold cross that
I wear around my neck.
Copy !req
284. He just ripped it right off.
Copy !req
285. What about
what he said to you?
Copy !req
286. He didn't say a word.
Copy !req
287. Thank you.
Copy !req
288. Queens rape victim described the
same M.O. as the attack on Smythe.
Copy !req
289. Anything on the homeless guy
you picked up with Smythe's I.D.?
Copy !req
290. He spent the night swilling Mad Dog
with three of his backstreet bunkies.
Copy !req
291. They tell you that?
Copy !req
292. In a rare moment of lucidity,
after about 10 cups of coffee.
Copy !req
293. Okay, rule him out
as our serial rapist.
Copy !req
294. Anything from the lab?
Copy !req
295. So far, zero.
They haven't called us.
Copy !req
296. Then get down there and light
a Bunsen burner under them.
Copy !req
297. Munch, Fin, check out
Smythe's past cases.
Copy !req
298. What are we looking for?
Copy !req
299. Anybody with a grudge.
Copy !req
300. I have five homicides
from last weekend.
Copy !req
301. Your victim isn't even dead.
Take a number.
Copy !req
302. And we have a cop who may be
the victim of a serial rapist.
Copy !req
303. He has her gun.
This should be top priority.
Copy !req
304. What do you want me
to tell you?
Copy !req
305. That you'll put your foot on
the gas instead of the brake.
Copy !req
306. You've had
the rape kit for days.
Copy !req
307. Do we have to go over your
head to get things done?
Copy !req
308. Can't give you
what I don't have.
Copy !req
309. Felicia, come on.
Help us out here. You know us.
Copy !req
310. Positive for spermicide,
negative for semen.
Copy !req
311. So the rapist used a condom?
Copy !req
312. That wasn't so hard, was it?
Copy !req
313. Spare me the sarcasm.
Copy !req
314. So, there's no DNA?
No, I didn't say that.
Copy !req
315. Rape kit turned up one hair,
follicle still attached.
Copy !req
316. Find me a suspect,
I'll match it.
Copy !req
317. Anything else you want
to share with us?
Copy !req
318. They find out I told you about the
rape kit, I'm in enough trouble.
Copy !req
319. What was that about?
Copy !req
320. Someone's covering up.
Copy !req
321. What do you say
we take another look?
Copy !req
322. Seal's broken.
Copy !req
323. Looks like somebody's
done some housekeeping.
Copy !req
324. So much for securing
the crime scene.
Copy !req
325. What the hell
is going on?
Copy !req
326. Let's find out.
Copy !req
327. They were in here
this morning.
Copy !req
328. Who?
Copy !req
329. Two cops in windbreakers. Said they
had to finish collecting evidence.
Copy !req
330. Don't you guys
talk to each other?
Copy !req
331. They tell you
what unit they were from?
Copy !req
332. Why would I need to know that?
Copy !req
333. Someone ran a hose in there.
Copy !req
334. Yeah, I delegated it to one
of my numerous employees. Me.
Copy !req
335. Did you ask these cops
if that was okay?
Copy !req
336. It was their idea.
Copy !req
337. Hey! Get away from my desk!
What're you doing?
Copy !req
338. Private property,
gentlemen.
Copy !req
339. Lieutenants Coates and
Waldman, Internal Affairs...
Copy !req
340. Detectives Stabler and Benson.
Copy !req
341. You find anything incriminating
in my wife's photo?
Copy !req
342. If you're hungry,
I left a candy bar there.
Copy !req
343. It's a Hershey bar on the second
drawer on the left. Sorry, no cheese.
Copy !req
344. We're going to have
to ask you some questions.
Copy !req
345. About what?
Copy !req
346. It won't take long.
Copy !req
347. Use your office, Captain?
Copy !req
348. Yeah. Sure, why not?
Copy !req
349. My desk is unlocked
if you need anything.
Copy !req
350. Have a seat.
Copy !req
351. We'll stand. Thanks.
Copy !req
352. What's this about?
Copy !req
353. Is all the paperwork on your cases
for the last month up to date?
Copy !req
354. We wouldn't be doing our
job properly if it wasn't.
Copy !req
355. So that's a yes.
Copy !req
356. Is this going anywhere?
We've got work to do.
Copy !req
357. So do we.
Copy !req
358. We'll need all your files
by the end of business today.
Copy !req
359. You want our files, you're looking
through our desks. For what?
Copy !req
360. This about the Smythe case?
Copy !req
361. Lab's holding back, crime scene's
been cleaned up. What's going on?
Copy !req
362. Thanks for your cooperation.
Copy !req
363. Thank you.
Copy !req
364. Internal Affairs
investigates crooked cops.
Copy !req
365. We know we're clean.
Copy !req
366. The KGB of the NYPD.
Copy !req
367. Cast suspicion like McCarthy, keep
secret files like J. Edgar Hoover...
Copy !req
368. get everybody to the point
where they trust nobody.
Copy !req
369. What are you
talking about now?
Copy !req
370. I'm talking about these field associates
IAB recruits fresh out of the academy...
Copy !req
371. who become spies among us. Moles
ratting on their fellow cops...
Copy !req
372. until they put in their 20
and collect their pension.
Copy !req
373. I don't like them
any better than you...
Copy !req
374. but you're honest, you got
nothing to worry about.
Copy !req
375. There's 40,000 cops on the job.
There's bound to be a few bad apples.
Copy !req
376. What'd they want?
Copy !req
377. Case files.
Copy !req
378. Case files for the last month.
Copy !req
379. Either one of us could
be under investigation.
Copy !req
380. Or both of us.
Copy !req
381. Maybe Karen Smythe.
Copy !req
382. Karen Smythe wouldn't take
a cup of coffee.
Copy !req
383. Whatever you say.
Copy !req
384. We got files to deliver.
Copy !req
385. IAB sniffing around
gives me the creeps.
Copy !req
386. A little bit of the former Soviet
bloc's policing methods here in New York.
Copy !req
387. Guilty until
proven innocent.
Copy !req
388. But even if you're innocent,
the stigma of an IAB inquiry...
Copy !req
389. sticks to you
like a bad debt.
Copy !req
390. Where do you get
this stuff?
Copy !req
391. Simple observations.
What did you find out?
Copy !req
392. Nothing I was going to say in
front of Benson after that reaction.
Copy !req
393. Smythe and her husband
got divorced a year ago.
Copy !req
394. Irreconcilable differences?
Copy !req
395. Hubby taking too many trips
to Atlantic City.
Copy !req
396. Almost drove her into
bankruptcy with his gambling.
Copy !req
397. Had to sell the house last summer
to pay off the credit card debt...
Copy !req
398. to the tune of $70,000.
Copy !req
399. The cost of freedom.
Copy !req
400. For her.
Copy !req
401. He's still paying his bills
late as of last month.
Copy !req
402. That one of the 12 steps?
Copy !req
403. Maybe we should ask him.
Copy !req
404. Thank God she's okay.
Copy !req
405. You still on
speaking terms?
Copy !req
406. She called to tell me what
happened. We don't talk that often.
Copy !req
407. How long were you married?
Copy !req
408. Twelve years.
Copy !req
409. Honeymoon lasted ten.
Copy !req
410. Tough being married to a
cop. Just ask my ex-wives.
Copy !req
411. It was tough
being married to me.
Copy !req
412. She risks her life to earn a living,
I blow both our salaries gambling.
Copy !req
413. It's what broke us up.
Copy !req
414. You're on the wagon now?
Copy !req
415. When she left me, I went
to Gamblers Anonymous.
Copy !req
416. I'm clean.
Copy !req
417. Well, your credit report
isn't.
Copy !req
418. You're still borrowing money
against your credit cards...
Copy !req
419. and forgetting to pay it back. So?
Copy !req
420. Sounds like you had a relapse.
Copy !req
421. You're still gambling.
Copy !req
422. You borrowing any money from somebody
doesn't have a license to lend?
Copy !req
423. I borrowed from a friend.
Copy !req
424. You mean a loan shark.
Copy !req
425. How much?
Copy !req
426. $100,000.
Copy !req
427. What's the balance
on the account?
Copy !req
428. Zero.
Copy !req
429. How'd you pay it off?
Copy !req
430. $50,000 on my own. The other
$50,000, anonymous donor.
Copy !req
431. Hey, I thought
the same thing.
Copy !req
432. Don't play games with us.
The odds are against you.
Copy !req
433. No games. I meet him yesterday
to make a payment...
Copy !req
434. he says it's taken care of.
Copy !req
435. Taken care of, huh? Somebody
pays off your gambling debt...
Copy !req
436. and you have no idea who would
perform such an act of philanthropy?
Copy !req
437. These guys don't just let you
walk away from an obligation.
Copy !req
438. All I know is that vulture's not
banging down my door any more.
Copy !req
439. Vulture got a name?
Copy !req
440. I just know him
as Uncle Sammy.
Copy !req
441. Hangs out in Chinatown.
Mott Street.
Copy !req
442. Uncle Sammy.
Copy !req
443. Can I help you gentlemen?
Copy !req
444. Yeah. I want to borrow
some money.
Copy !req
445. I'm sorry, but you must be
mistaking me for a bank.
Copy !req
446. We take it you specialize in loans
to police officers and their families.
Copy !req
447. Somebody's giving you
bad information.
Copy !req
448. You going to stick
to that story?
Copy !req
449. Wait.
Copy !req
450. Come on.
Copy !req
451. What have we here?
Copy !req
452. "50 Misha W-3 Hiya. "
Copy !req
453. Who's Misha?
My dog.
Copy !req
454. This knot's for dog food? The
mutt must be eating porterhouse.
Copy !req
455. I'm an animal lover.
Copy !req
456. That's good. Because we got a
cage waiting for you at Rikers.
Copy !req
457. After we arrest you for possession
of these betting slips...
Copy !req
458. that's where
you're spending the night.
Copy !req
459. Guys, what do you want?
Copy !req
460. Who paid off
Todd Smythe's loan?
Copy !req
461. What loan?
Who's Todd Smythe?
Copy !req
462. I guess we're going to have to
destroy those illegal documents.
Copy !req
463. Then he has to explain
to his clients...
Copy !req
464. why there's no record
of their bets...
Copy !req
465. when they come
to collect their winnings.
Copy !req
466. I got a right not
to incriminate myself.
Copy !req
467. And we have a right
to arrest you.
Copy !req
468. Unless you got something
else you want to tell us.
Copy !req
469. Smythe owed me
another $50,000.
Copy !req
470. Owed?
Copy !req
471. It was paid off.
Copy !req
472. By who?
His ex-wife.
Copy !req
473. Uncle Sammy tell you how she came up
with the better part of a year's salary?
Copy !req
474. He didn't ask.
Copy !req
475. My ex's wouldn't throw water
on me if I was on fire.
Copy !req
476. We're finished playing
messenger service.
Copy !req
477. Let IAB come
and get those files.
Copy !req
478. Any idea who they have
their sights on?
Copy !req
479. Yeah.
Copy !req
480. Karen Smythe.
Copy !req
481. You're saying
I'm on the take?
Copy !req
482. I'm saying that your husband's
loan shark says...
Copy !req
483. that you paid off
his $50,000 debt.
Copy !req
484. And you believe him?
Convince me that he's lying.
Copy !req
485. I don't have to prove
anything to you.
Copy !req
486. This time, you do.
Copy !req
487. Where'd you get
the money, Karen?
Copy !req
488. None of this
concerns you, Olivia.
Copy !req
489. Boy, I am running out
of reasons to defend you.
Copy !req
490. Then back off.
Copy !req
491. I'm doing
what you taught me.
Copy !req
492. My job.
Investigating your rape.
Copy !req
493. I wasn't raped.
Copy !req
494. I remember
what happened now.
Copy !req
495. I wasn't raped.
Copy !req
496. Karen, what're you
talking about?
Copy !req
497. They found you in a stairwell with your
pants pulled down, nearly strangled.
Copy !req
498. The rape kit was positive
for spermicide, remember?
Copy !req
499. You going
to recant that, too?
Copy !req
500. I had sex
before I went on duty.
Copy !req
501. With who?
Copy !req
502. An old boyfriend.
Copy !req
503. His name?
Copy !req
504. He's married. We both know
that you're going to...
Copy !req
505. have to eliminate him as a
suspect, so what's his name?
Copy !req
506. Karen, don't do this.
Copy !req
507. You want to help?
Copy !req
508. Drop it.
Copy !req
509. Who got to you?
Who are you covering for?
Copy !req
510. Don't push me.
Copy !req
511. What kind of trouble
are you in?
Copy !req
512. You're the one causing it.
Copy !req
513. Well, let's ask Internal Affairs
about it and see what they have to say.
Copy !req
514. Get out.
Copy !req
515. She didn't give you anything?
Copy !req
516. She shut me down.
Copy !req
517. Chief of Detectives says without
her, we don't have a rape case.
Copy !req
518. She's recanting her story
because she's scared.
Copy !req
519. Someone's putting
the screws to her.
Copy !req
520. Did you check
her financial records?
Copy !req
521. No loans,
no cash advances...
Copy !req
522. no $50,000 withdrawn from
any of her savings accounts.
Copy !req
523. She's not dirty.
Copy !req
524. You gotta do something.
Copy !req
525. I'm going to see
the Chief of Departments.
Copy !req
526. That sounds like
a suicide mission.
Copy !req
527. Let's hope not.
He's a friend.
Copy !req
528. Maybe he knows
who's trying to shut us down.
Copy !req
529. We can't let this go.
Copy !req
530. We're not. It's our turf.
Copy !req
531. I'm returning
the doctor's call.
Copy !req
532. The message said
he had my test results.
Copy !req
533. I understand that, but if you have them
in front of you, why can't you ju...
Copy !req
534. You need a medical degree
to read off a piece of paper?
Copy !req
535. Policy? Okay.
Copy !req
536. Well, I think you need
a better policy. Thanks a lot.
Copy !req
537. Problem?
Copy !req
538. My test results are back.
Copy !req
539. Policy dictates
only a doctor can...
Copy !req
540. give them to me.
Copy !req
541. You need my help, Donnie?
Copy !req
542. IAB is putting the squeeze
on a couple of my detectives.
Copy !req
543. Maybe they did
something wrong.
Copy !req
544. Only mistake they made
was catching the Smythe case.
Copy !req
545. Is IAB putting
the squeeze on her, too?
Copy !req
546. Your victim flips on her story,
and you're blaming Internal Affairs?
Copy !req
547. I ran a corruption task force. I
know when a cop's being fed her lines.
Copy !req
548. That's a little paranoid,
don't you think?
Copy !req
549. Twelve years a captain, I can't
get promoted. I'm paranoid.
Copy !req
550. Don't take advantage
of our friendship.
Copy !req
551. Karen Smythe is being made
to look like a wrong cop.
Copy !req
552. Is she one?
Copy !req
553. Cop's spouse is up to his ass
in debt to some loan shark...
Copy !req
554. it's guilt by association.
Makes us look bad.
Copy !req
555. A firing offense.
Copy !req
556. You're saying
IAB knew about this?
Copy !req
557. Then why wasn't she fired?
Copy !req
558. Your victim recanted.
Copy !req
559. That's one side of the story.
Copy !req
560. Give me the other side.
Copy !req
561. Physical evidence
that a rape took place...
Copy !req
562. and three decades of
cop instinct screaming at me.
Copy !req
563. What are your
little voices saying?
Copy !req
564. Coverup.
Copy !req
565. Internal Affairs
is forcing Smythe to recant.
Copy !req
566. The Police Department is suppressing a
crime committed against one of its own?
Copy !req
567. Any idea why?
Copy !req
568. That's what
we're trying to find out.
Copy !req
569. I'm out of options, Counselor.
I need your juice.
Copy !req
570. Let me talk
to the victim first.
Copy !req
571. What are you doing here?
Copy !req
572. Your neighbor told me
you were down here.
Copy !req
573. Can't I get any privacy
from you people?
Copy !req
574. I am here to urge you
to reconsider.
Copy !req
575. You mean threaten.
Copy !req
576. I mean
do the right thing.
Copy !req
577. Right for who?
Copy !req
578. You're a cop.
Copy !req
579. I don't have to tell you
the answer to that.
Copy !req
580. I'm a victim.
Copy !req
581. Victims usually want justice.
Copy !req
582. If you're saying now
that you were never raped...
Copy !req
583. that means that you're obstructing
it and that you filed a false report.
Copy !req
584. The threat surfaces.
Copy !req
585. It doesn't have
to be this way.
Copy !req
586. Yes, it does.
Copy !req
587. Why?
Copy !req
588. Because for me
it's a lose-lose situation.
Copy !req
589. Please, tell me
what that means.
Copy !req
590. I've lost enough already.
Copy !req
591. Now, this is my choice.
Copy !req
592. Don't make it my last.
Copy !req
593. We're back.
Copy !req
594. What's this about?
Copy !req
595. You're under arrest.
Copy !req
596. For what?
Loan sharking and lying.
Copy !req
597. You have the right to remain
silent... What'd I lie about?
Copy !req
598. Are you going to tell us who
really paid Todd Smythe's loan?
Copy !req
599. I told you, his ex.
Copy !req
600. In your business, one would
think you had better lying skills.
Copy !req
601. Who was it?
Copy !req
602. I tell you,
you gotta protect me.
Copy !req
603. From who?
Copy !req
604. Two cops.
Copy !req
605. Two cops paid you off?
Copy !req
606. Shook me down,
is more like it.
Copy !req
607. How?
Copy !req
608. Said I was going to forgive
Smythe's loan...
Copy !req
609. and keep my mouth shut...
Copy !req
610. or they'll make sure I didn't see
daylight for a quarter of a century.
Copy !req
611. And you thought $50,000
was a small price to pay?
Copy !req
612. Cost of doing business.
Copy !req
613. What'd these two cops
look like?
Copy !req
614. New suits, trench coats,
a lot of misplaced attitude.
Copy !req
615. Sounds like two cheese-eating
lieutenants we know.
Copy !req
616. Say anything else?
Copy !req
617. Yeah.
Copy !req
618. They said I could take
the loss as a tax deduction.
Copy !req
619. All right. Take a walk.
Copy !req
620. You're going
to have us arrested?
Copy !req
621. Who the hell
do you think you are?
Copy !req
622. I suggest you adjust
your tone, Lieutenant.
Copy !req
623. And I suggest you adjust
your attitude, Counselor.
Copy !req
624. Charging us with obstruction of
justice won't get you anywhere.
Copy !req
625. It got your attention.
Copy !req
626. Now that we have it,
here's the deal.
Copy !req
627. You tell us why Karen Smythe
changed her story...
Copy !req
628. you hand over all your case files and
notes, and we won't go through with this.
Copy !req
629. You're bluffing.
Copy !req
630. You think so? Try me.
Copy !req
631. You're covering up the rape
of a fellow cop.
Copy !req
632. You just don't get it,
do you?
Copy !req
633. Read them
their rights, Captain.
Copy !req
634. Do that, and a year's worth of
undercover work goes down the toilet.
Copy !req
635. Who's the target
of your investigation?
Copy !req
636. Do not make us tell you that.
Copy !req
637. Sorry, not buying.
Copy !req
638. You want to blow
both your careers, go ahead.
Copy !req
639. You think the D.A.'s office doesn't
know what we're doing here, Counselor?
Copy !req
640. We're not above the law, either.
I will subpoena anyone I have to.
Copy !req
641. And you'll be
making a big mistake.
Copy !req
642. The only mistake was trying to make a
felony disappear to protect your own case.
Copy !req
643. Now that's a crime, fellas.
Copy !req
644. We'll see
who's blowing their career.
Copy !req
645. Are you going to tell us
what this is all about?
Copy !req
646. Not without our lawyers.
Copy !req
647. Fine. Bring them down to SVU tomorrow
morning when you surrender yourselves.
Copy !req
648. Second month on the job,
responded to a two-year old, raped.
Copy !req
649. I wanted to quit.
Copy !req
650. I'm surprised it took you that
long. I was ready to go after a week.
Copy !req
651. It was Karen that said that I had
talent for dealing with the victim.
Copy !req
652. She said that I could turn a
negative into a positive. So...
Copy !req
653. here I am.
Copy !req
654. Hope you've had your coffee.
Copy !req
655. Why, what's up?
Copy !req
656. You got a visitor.
Copy !req
657. Speak of the devil.
Copy !req
658. Don't say I didn't warn you.
Copy !req
659. Do I have to file a formal
complaint to stop you?
Copy !req
660. How do you know we're still
investigating? IAB tell you?
Copy !req
661. They paid your husband's
loan sharking debt.
Copy !req
662. You never could let things go,
could you?
Copy !req
663. I'm sorry?
Copy !req
664. You know,
like that singer...
Copy !req
665. who put a restraining order on you when
you wouldn't leave her daughter alone.
Copy !req
666. You're out of line. I was
trying to protect her daughter.
Copy !req
667. How do you know
about that?
Copy !req
668. You better watch yourself.
Copy !req
669. What's that
supposed to mean?
Copy !req
670. Sounded like a threat to me.
Copy !req
671. Just friendly advice. Lay off.
Copy !req
672. I'm sure I'm mistaken, Sergeant,
but I thought I heard you tell...
Copy !req
673. two of my detectives to ignore
a case I assigned to them.
Copy !req
674. No.
Copy !req
675. You're not mistaken.
Copy !req
676. I guess you'll tell them
to back off, then, Captain.
Copy !req
677. Because you have
your orders...
Copy !req
678. don't you?
Copy !req
679. She's got a pair of onions,
talking to you like that.
Copy !req
680. What orders?
Copy !req
681. Call just came down. We're
officially off the case.
Copy !req
682. Now Smythe knew that.
What the hell's going on here?
Copy !req
683. Whatever it is, it's right in
front of us and we're not seeing it.
Copy !req
684. Burying the rape
buys IAB a case.
Copy !req
685. But not against Karen...
Copy !req
686. they tried to protect her.
Copy !req
687. Which means they need her
for something.
Copy !req
688. IAB investigates crooked cops.
What about the people around her?
Copy !req
689. We need to revisit
the night of the rape.
Copy !req
690. Right down
to the smallest detail.
Copy !req
691. Can I help you?
Copy !req
692. Yeah. Hey.
Copy !req
693. Detective Stabler, SVU.
I'm working the Smythe case.
Copy !req
694. Sergeant said she left
her address book in her car...
Copy !req
695. wanted to know if I could try
and find it for her.
Copy !req
696. You got the wrong car, man.
Hers is over there.
Copy !req
697. Where?
Copy !req
698. Over there.
Right, see over there.
Copy !req
699. Oh, yeah. Okay.
Good. Thanks.
Copy !req
700. You got it?
Copy !req
701. Used to date a sergeant down
in Communications.
Copy !req
702. Karen knew about
the restraining order.
Copy !req
703. You were disciplined.
It's in your personnel file.
Copy !req
704. How would she have
access to that?
Copy !req
705. Maybe she read it
in your IAB file.
Copy !req
706. What are you talking about?
Copy !req
707. You know,
your "other" personnel file...
Copy !req
708. with every infraction you ever committed
that someone secretly or not-so-secretly...
Copy !req
709. ratted on you about.
Like the secret files...
Copy !req
710. kept by the NYPD's
now-defunct Red Squad.
Copy !req
711. Hey, Cap.
Copy !req
712. I think we got something.
Copy !req
713. What's up?
Copy !req
714. I'm listening to radio calls from
the night of the attack on Smythe.
Copy !req
715. Her driver, Murray,
called in the 10-13.
Copy !req
716. Two seconds later, 3-1 Charlie
Officers Towne and Bates...
Copy !req
717. call and say they're responding. Okay.
Copy !req
718. 24 seconds after that...
Copy !req
719. they call and say they're arriving
on the scene, they need an ambulance.
Copy !req
720. Bates and Towne said that they were
on meal break in their sector...
Copy !req
721. when they got the call.
Ten blocks away.
Copy !req
722. So, unless the radio car comes
equipped with warp drive...
Copy !req
723. Or they were already there.
Copy !req
724. They were.
Copy !req
725. DNA on cigarette butts found in their radio
car matched the hair from the rape kit.
Copy !req
726. Let's go.
Copy !req
727. What are you guys doing?
Copy !req
728. Put your hands
where we can see them.
Copy !req
729. Mikey, they got guns out.
Copy !req
730. All right, Mikey, let's see
those hands. Right there.
Copy !req
731. Eat the street. Get down.
Copy !req
732. Just do as they say, Austin.
Copy !req
733. I see no shields.
Copy !req
734. Just four pieces of crap with
guns. I got no problem shooting you.
Copy !req
735. Twelve jurors or six
pallbearers, your choice.
Copy !req
736. Just do what they say.
Copy !req
737. Cops are coming, Bates.
Copy !req
738. Who you think your friends are going
to side with when they get here?
Copy !req
739. You have the right
to remain silent.
Copy !req
740. I know my rights, dirtbag.
Copy !req
741. Don't say a word, Mikey.
I'm not.
Copy !req
742. It's all over
the radio.
Copy !req
743. You better pick up Murray.
Yeah.
Copy !req
744. We got it.
Copy !req
745. Anything you say can and will be
used against you in a court of law.
Copy !req
746. Murray was supposed
to watch Karen's back.
Copy !req
747. It was a setup.
He had to be in on it.
Copy !req
748. Where are you going
with our suspect?
Copy !req
749. We're taking
our prisoner to jail.
Copy !req
750. Officer Murray just confessed to his
part in the rape of Sergeant Smythe.
Copy !req
751. We got another team picking up
his two accomplices.
Copy !req
752. Bates and Towne? Sorry.
We just busted them.
Copy !req
753. We arrest crooked cops.
Not you.
Copy !req
754. We saved you the trouble,
didn't we?
Copy !req
755. You guys forget
our little date this morning.
Copy !req
756. And what date is that?
Copy !req
757. The one where we bust you
for obstruction.
Copy !req
758. Call your friend
at the D.A.'s office.
Copy !req
759. If she still has her job she'll
tell you those charges were dropped.
Copy !req
760. After you two guys
tried to save yourselves
Copy !req
761. by arresting Murray
for raping Smythe?
Copy !req
762. Officer Murray isn't being
charged with rape.
Copy !req
763. What was he arrested for?
Copy !req
764. Money laundering,
drug running.
Copy !req
765. Drug charges?
Copy !req
766. You don't have the authority
to okay the arrest of two cops.
Copy !req
767. My authority is based on airtight physical
evidence that you tried to suppress.
Copy !req
768. My case has priority.
Copy !req
769. Nicky Farnsworth is one of the
biggest drug lords in Harlem.
Copy !req
770. We couldn't nail him until we found
out that Bates, Towne, and Murray...
Copy !req
771. have been guarding his shipments
for the past year and a half.
Copy !req
772. Which you think gives you license
to blow my case in favor of yours?
Copy !req
773. Leaving Sergeant Smythe
to take one for the company.
Copy !req
774. You don't have the right to determine
the fate of a sex crime investigation.
Copy !req
775. I don't answer to you.
Copy !req
776. Why wasn't I at least
told about this?
Copy !req
777. Need to know only.
You weren't on the list.
Copy !req
778. Three police officers set up
their own sergeant...
Copy !req
779. to be raped,
and probably murdered.
Copy !req
780. Did that ever figure
into your crusade?
Copy !req
781. Your victim's recanted.
Copy !req
782. DNA evidence and
Officer Murray's testimony...
Copy !req
783. should be plenty
to convince a jury.
Copy !req
784. Murray's not testifying
for you.
Copy !req
785. We gave him immunity in exchange
for his testimony against...
Copy !req
786. Bates, Towne, and Farnsworth.
Copy !req
787. You son of a bitch.
Copy !req
788. A woman was raped.
Copy !req
789. Look, I'm sorry
about Sergeant Smythe...
Copy !req
790. but if you ask her, she'll
tell you she's on board with us.
Copy !req
791. Yeah. I can tell
you're real sorry.
Copy !req
792. You may have flipped Murray,
but I still have Bates and Towne.
Copy !req
793. I'm not giving them up.
Copy !req
794. You don't like it,
go talk to the D.A.
Copy !req
795. My client wants to reiterate
that under no circumstances...
Copy !req
796. will he testify
about any rape.
Copy !req
797. That's the deal.
Copy !req
798. Bates and Towne came to me,
said Karen was onto us...
Copy !req
799. and we got to shut her up.
Copy !req
800. How did they find out?
Copy !req
801. A friend of Towne's saw her talking
to a known member of the rat squad.
Copy !req
802. Bates said we couldn't
take a chance.
Copy !req
803. Who made the plan?
Copy !req
804. Bates.
Copy !req
805. It was all Bates.
Copy !req
806. And you hooked up
with him how?
Copy !req
807. He said I can make $1,000
each time I freelanced.
Copy !req
808. And so you became
a permanent employee.
Copy !req
809. I got a kid that's going to
go to college in a few years.
Copy !req
810. So the cash
would have been a big help.
Copy !req
811. Why did you rape her?
Copy !req
812. Bates said he did it
because he had to break her.
Copy !req
813. He said he heard about this
garbage bag rape out in Queens...
Copy !req
814. be perfect for a copycat.
Copy !req
815. So they break into the
warehouse, they trip the alarm.
Copy !req
816. All I got to do is park close
enough so when the call comes...
Copy !req
817. we're the first to respond.
Copy !req
818. And then you were going
to kill her, weren't you?
Copy !req
819. My client
has nothing to say.
Copy !req
820. Yeah, well, we don't need him.
We've got his DNA.
Copy !req
821. We found your hair on her
from the rape kit.
Copy !req
822. He was at the scene, tried to
help her. The hair proves nothing.
Copy !req
823. He tried to help her
with his pants off?
Copy !req
824. What's it feel like to be an errand boy
to some guy who sells dope to school kids?
Copy !req
825. Truth hurts,
doesn't it, Austin?
Copy !req
826. Come on, you wanted
Karen Smythe out of the way...
Copy !req
827. so she wouldn't blow your second job
running drugs for Nicky Farnsworth.
Copy !req
828. Badger us all you want. This'll
never see the inside of a courtroom.
Copy !req
829. First degree rape, state
and federal drug charges?
Copy !req
830. A judge runs
consecutive sentences,
Copy !req
831. you'll probably get out
of prison in time...
Copy !req
832. to see your grandchildren
flunk out of college.
Copy !req
833. Smythe'll never testify.
Copy !req
834. She's already talking
to the D.A.
Copy !req
835. Fine.
Copy !req
836. Bitch gets on the stand...
Copy !req
837. the entire world
finds out she's a rat.
Copy !req
838. We go down for rape,
her career goes down with us.
Copy !req
839. You guys got it figured out,
don't you?
Copy !req
840. Why do you think she dropped
the rape complaint?
Copy !req
841. Because she's a rat
without a spine.
Copy !req
842. You rape a fellow cop.
Look at you, tough guy.
Copy !req
843. You're a real man,
aren't you?
Copy !req
844. Get outta my face!
Copy !req
845. Couldn't even face a woman
when he was raping her, huh?
Copy !req
846. You had to take her
from behind in the dark.
Copy !req
847. Yeah, make you feel like
a real man, errand boy?
Copy !req
848. You could have told me.
Copy !req
849. No...
Copy !req
850. I couldn't.
Copy !req
851. I don't even know
which one of them raped me.
Copy !req
852. It was Bates.
Copy !req
853. They set me up.
Copy !req
854. How did you know they were
running drugs for Nicky Farnsworth?
Copy !req
855. I overheard Murray one night.
Copy !req
856. He was on the phone talking
to somebody, I don't know who.
Copy !req
857. Said he had to move something
for Nicky after work.
Copy !req
858. It happened
a couple more times...
Copy !req
859. and I filled in the blanks.
Copy !req
860. So you went to IAB because...
Copy !req
861. you wanted to do
the right thing.
Copy !req
862. Because I've been working
for them all along.
Copy !req
863. You're a field associate.
Copy !req
864. IAB came to me
when I was in the academy.
Copy !req
865. Said I could make
a difference...
Copy !req
866. just by keeping
my eyes and ears open.
Copy !req
867. They said nobody
would ever find out.
Copy !req
868. They convinced you.
Copy !req
869. Didn't take convincing.
Copy !req
870. I love this job, Olivia.
Copy !req
871. Fifteen years...
Copy !req
872. and I still believe
in what I do.
Copy !req
873. And when three cops
get caught running drugs...
Copy !req
874. the rest of us lose the trust
of the people we protect.
Copy !req
875. So IAB told you what happened?
Copy !req
876. In the hospital.
Copy !req
877. Said Murray, Bates,
Towne tried to kill me.
Copy !req
878. And they asked you
to recant the rape.
Copy !req
879. Said if it went to trial...
Copy !req
880. the defense would ask me if I was a
field associate and I'd be exposed.
Copy !req
881. But I'd never have to testify
at the drug trials of these guys.
Copy !req
882. D.A. is indicting
Bates and Towne for rape.
Copy !req
883. And if that happens...
Copy !req
884. I become a target.
Copy !req
885. They raped you, Karen.
Copy !req
886. And I have to live with that.
Copy !req
887. Drop the charges?
Copy !req
888. That's what I'm asking
you to do.
Copy !req
889. I have bulletproof evidence.
It's a no-brainer for a jury.
Copy !req
890. I understand that, but
if we go ahead with this,
Copy !req
891. Karen Smythe's life
could be in danger.
Copy !req
892. She becomes a victim
all over again.
Copy !req
893. Only this time,
it's our fault.
Copy !req
894. Don't ask me to let them walk on a rape.
Copy !req
895. Do you think
that I want to?
Copy !req
896. I would string them
up myself if I could.
Copy !req
897. We all would. But it's not
about that, it's about the law.
Copy !req
898. A conviction on drug charges
puts Towne and Bates...
Copy !req
899. away for a lot longer than
they ever would go for the rape.
Copy !req
900. That's not exactly justice,
is it?
Copy !req
901. These cops took away
part of her life.
Copy !req
902. Is it justice for us
to take away the rest?
Copy !req
903. I will see if my bosses
will go for it. I'll just...
Copy !req
904. tell them to do the math.
Copy !req
905. Hey...
Copy !req
906. you following me now?
Copy !req
907. A cop should know where
his partner has breakfast.
Copy !req
908. Listen, you took a chance
going through that radio car.
Copy !req
909. Thanks.
Copy !req
910. Praise makes me hungry.
Copy !req
911. Got your appetite back.
Copy !req
912. Feels good to eat like
a human being again.
Copy !req
913. You get your test results?
Copy !req
914. Clean bill of health.
Copy !req
915. Negative for HIV...
Copy !req
916. hepatitis.
Copy !req
917. Salute.
Copy !req
