it's exam room three. woman: you have the right to an attorney. if you cannot afford an attorney... detective stabler, svu. what's going on? fbi. ( grunting ) this is a rape victim in our jurisdiction. not our concern. at the moment, she's under arrest. miss curry, do you understand your rights as i've read them to you? why are you guys doing this to me? i was attacked and raped. do you understand your rights? yes. look, we have to get miss curry's statement. there's a rapist out there. we'd like to get a description. you can do that in federal lockup, but it's going to take a while to process her. what are the charges? securities fraud violating interstate and international banking laws money laundering for a criminal enterprise

hi, i'm matt mccoy. how long have you had your car insurance? i ask because i had mine for over 20 years, before i switched and saved hundreds with the aarp auto insurance program from the hartford. i was with my previous insurance for 30 years. but they could not compete with the hartford. people 50 and over could save hundreds of dollars when they switch. i had done a lot of comparison shopping. the rate was like half of what i was paying [ female announcer ] $420 is the average amount drivers save when they switch to the aarp auto insurance program from the hartford. you know, it makes me wonder why everyone 50 and over hasn't switched.

about the federal case against her or anything relating to it. well, what if her criminal affiliations directly relate to the attack? well, if miss curry's business associates were involved she'd ben the morgue. money laundering is a rico charge so she's in bed with organized crime. we talking lcn or the russians? stop fishing, detective stabler. well, if you'd just share a little bit i wouldn't have to. there's too much at stake. we're not interested in yr case. we're trying to find a rapist but we can't do that if you obstruct justice. well, until you file a 61, i'm not obstructing anything. and unless i allow you access you won't be able to do that. so what's it going to be? oh, i guess we'll just bend over. i'll be right outside. i wouldn't have it any other way. thanks a lot. miss curry, have a seat, please. curry: uh... where should i start? benson: well, why don't you start by taking us through your day.

mm-hmm. and where do you work out? it's called workout studio. couple blocks from the office. did you go out for lunch? no, i ate at my desk. delivered? my assistant went out and got it. when were you attacked? around 11:00. i was in my office crunching the next quarter projections for an emergency meeting. anybody else around? everyone left hours before. that's why when i heard the noise, i went looking. but as soon as i opened up my door this man rushed me and after that it was lights out. can you describe him? not really. i just got a glimpse. white... average height. any distinguishing marks? anytng you can remember? no. did he say anything? yeah. ( sniffles ): itas payback. i thought he was going to kill me. okay, is it possible

might have been trying to send you a message? uld be. they're brutal, vicious men. but they don't make a move without sergei's say-so. he would've cut my throat... that's enough! get her out of there. man: good news is, we got enough urine to test. if we're lucky, there'll be some dna in it. perp gave her a golden shower? rape took place on the table. found footprints where he stood over her. maki the humiliation complete. bad news is, there's too many prints and fibers. with this kind of building security maybe our perp actually works here. or pretended to. we found a cleaningcrew jumpsuit stuffed under the reception desk. what company? ats. man: great thing about criminals no matter how smart they think they are they're not smarter than me. you found traces of seminal fluid. not a drop.

that didn't find to the victim. okay, so we got dna. matching two other rape cases-- both in brooklyn. also, your perp suffers from diabetes. how do you know that? we found glucose, but no ketones in the urine. i'd say he's a middle-aged onset diabetic who's not tang his meds, or doesn't know that he's sick. based on what? level of sugar is pretty high. juvenile diabetics learn early on that if they forget an insulin injection it can prove fatal. cragen: our serial rapist started with two brooklyn targets. the first victim, petra yvonkov was raped six months ago. worked as a stripper at the volga club a known front for the russian mob. she was mob boss sergei pearlman's girlfriend. she got smoked after talking to brooklyn svu about her rape. they were probably scared she was going to slip pillow talk. number two is pearlman's baby sister, tatiana. she died of uterine cancer three months ago. blitz attacked after a chemo treatment. took a pretty bad beating. our guy is definitely losing control and escalating. our victim, amanda curry, raped, beaten and sodomized. what did brooklyn say

i mean, why chose these women if not trying to get at pearlman somehow? did they even talk to this guy? organized crime bureau shut them down. wouldn't let them near him. uh, completely stalled their investigation. munch: sergei's a major player. if we're looking for someone with a grudge it's going to be a long list. what about physical evidence other than the dna? the lab's still working on print elimination but they found a discarded cleaning crew jumpsuit from atlas janitorial. a supervisor mentioned a car blocking the service entrance so we checked the outside cameras. the way they're positioned, you can't see much. all we saw was a late model ford focus, jersey tags. we can only make out "jlq." what about cameras inside? well, they're in the stairwells and they're outside, so female employees feel safe working late. i say we check out the russian angl knock on a few doors in brighton beach see what shakes loose. well, the feds will be all over u before we ask the first question. well, we do have a job to do. uh, before we declare war, there is ather connection. both our victim and the stripper belong to the same gym. workout studio was listed in her file. what about pearlman's sister? well, nothing was in her file.

man: ok, here it is. all three women had recent memberships. we had sent out a promotional mailer to businesses and local residents. what's all this about? an assault. you're kidding? when did they start their memberships? ( exhales ) ( typing ) within the last year-and-a-half. they know each other? they work out together? i never saw them with each other. we're going to need a list of all your members and all your malemployees. we have about 500 members and just ten on full-time staff. who owns the club? my father. you have any employees 40 years or older? just my dad. everyone else is under 30. what capacity does he work in? i run the place. dad just looks over the books. makes sure we have what we need. how often does he come in here? wait a second. dad doesn't interact with our clients. he wouldn't even know them. what kind of car does he drive?

plate's a match. still not enough for a warrant. i'm peter sipes. my son called. he tells me you have questions. mr. sipes, if it's all right with you we'd like to do this down at our precinct. am i under arrest? not yet. i can assure you, i didn't assault anyone. well, then you've got nothing to worry about. i don't see why you had to drag me down here for this. i've done nothing wrong. man: gregory. it's mike from l.a. i thought you were dead. you're drunk. i don't know you. i swear, you got a twin out there, you know that? take it easy. can i get you something to drink? soda, if you have it. i thought you diabetics had to control your sugar intake. maybe you'd like some water. i don't know what you're talking about. where were you the night before last? at my job. i'm the shift supervisor at a packaging plant in east orange. so you own a gym and you work? well, it's not a chain like bally's, detective.

i work from 10:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m. you drive to work? what's this really about? rape, mr. sipes. i did not rape anybody. well, then you'll be willing to let us take a mouth swab... make this whole thing go away. you want my dna, you're going to have to get a warrant. we don't have enough for a judge but i don't want to cut this guy loose. let's do a voice lineup. i'll keep thsuspect on ice until then. we know how well those hold up in court. well, it dsn't matter. amanda curry picks this guy's voice out of the six, we got enough for a warrant. the ausa is t going to let us just take her prisoner for a ride. i'll have cabot pave the way. sorry, amanda curry's not here. she get transferred to another facility? nope. does it say where she is? i don't even know who she is. there is no record of an amanda curry in the system.

she's gone. metropolitan correctional claims they never even heard of her. i got a call from the u.s. attorney's office with assurances. soon as we make an arrest they will produce amanda curry for trial. how are we supposed to do that without the cooperation of our complaining witness? ran the rape suspect's prints off the coffee mug. we got zip. no arrests, no record. munch: so we check the property rolls the tax rolls, city permits... seems that peter and his s have consecutive social security numbers. how's that possible? a few years back, a couple got pinched in delaware for running a stock scam. the entire family had consecutive numbers. they'd been relocated in the witness protection program. it's got to be wit sec. that's run by u.s. marshals which would explain the u.s. attorney's interest in this case. there was a drunk cuffed out in the corridor. he, uh, recognized our suspect, he called him gregory. and then he just waves it off like it was an honest mistake. we should talk to him. find out who peter really is. we do that, we'll blow a protected witness's cover. all right, you and munch sit this drunk down and after that, put him in our holding pen for the duration.

i'll go ask the desk sergeant. you know, if our rapist is a protected witness how are we going to get around the feds? we won't have to. you commit a crime in the program you go to prison. sammy the bull is serving 15 for dealing drugs. we'll check peter's alibi, see if he s working his shift but he's still testifying they're not ing to hand him over. fin: michael kerring, get up. you got company. whatever it is, i didn't do it. you have an interesting resum\, michael. shoplifting, a few b&e's, and purse snatching. i'm not very good at it or i wouldn't keep getting pinched so i know i can't help you. what do you guys do here, anyway? we catch rapists, pedophiles and murderers. damn. well, in that case, i can honestly say that whatever it is, i didn't do it. i am no short eyes, i have never touched a woman that i didn't have to pay for... slow your roll, moron. we're looking for some background. we brought a guy in on a rape beat and we're told you were friends. turnout he's got a couple of aliases we want to check.

you saw him right out there in the hallway. you called him gregory. i was drunk. it couldn't have been him; he's been dead for years. who's dead? gregory. rosovitch. he used to run with some serious hitters. in way over his head. who'd he run with? russians in west llywood pulling gas tax, medicaid fraud, shipping bootleg vodka kidnapping, the whole nine. if he was that big time, how'd you know him? i used to be a gas jockey. they put me in charge of pumping hijacked diesel. how'd he die? car bomb. was that reallhim? don't tell me, i don't want to know. fin: what's the problem? they put a heavy contract out on gregory. you open this up, you're asking for trouble. why'd they want him dead? i heard he was spilling his guts to the feds.

friends, business associates, they even killed his parents. that's why i moved east. guess i didn't go far enough. benson: looks like we're too late. hi, lynn moody. you folks interested in seeing the house? actually we're interested in the whereabouts of the owner. oh, that i can't tell you. i only got the listing last night. who hired you? claudia williams. when i got here, there was a moving crew in overdrive. cleaned the entire house out in under four hours. i've never seen anything like it. cabot: i don't suppose i can convince you to let me do the talking. what's there to talk about? either the ausa hands over our suspect or she goes to jail for obstruction. we want her cooperation. peter wasn't at work the night of the rape. we've got a warrant for his blood. what else do we need?

thank you for taking the time to see us, ms. williams. claudia. how can i help you? tell us the whereabouts of peter sipes we'll get out of yr hair. no. what do you mean, "no"? you're harboring rapist, counselor and using federal tax dollars to do it. was there a trial at i don't know about, detective stabler? we have a warrant for peter sipes' blood. duly signed by a superior court judge. i'll have it drawn and delivered to your lab. is that amenable? the evidentiary chain has to be followed. we draw the blood, not you. now we're splitting hairs. benson: is gregory rosovitch, aka peter sipes that important to your case that you're willing to let him skate on three class b felonies? williams: the doj does not condone criminal behavior. okay, then why'd you move him? because he told us he was recognized by someone in your precinct. most of what we now know about the mob comes from peter's testimony and he is an invaluable asset and we will protect him at all costs. at the expense of three women

by the man that you're now shielding from justice. if he did do that, he will go to prison but i think you have the wrong man. where's amanda curry? unavailable to you. how is she connected to peter sipes? all of the victims lead back to the russian mob. do you really think that's a coincidence? what is peter's motive? why would he rape these women? you can tell by the extent of the damage that he's escalating. does somebody have to die for you to care? i know what you're up against but if, for one second i thought that my witness was responsible i'd turn him over. why are you protecting this guy? 257 murders, all ordered by sergei pearlman. policemen, businessmen, because they wouldn't pay extortion. even children, butchered for fear they might grow up and seek revenge.

and we've connected california to new york through peter sipes. does that answer your question? can she really stop us? nobut she could slow us down. hinder our investigation. you know, i don't care who that woman works for we can't let her do that. claudia williams is doing her job. she has an obligation to protect her witness. we have an obligation to protect innocent women so who's side of the fence are you going to sit on? you seem awfully sure peter sipes is guilty. what are we suosed to think? it can't be easy losing your identity, starting over. these people cost him his past. they're threatening his survival. i'm just not so sure he would jeopardize his last line of defense against the very people who want him dead. but what you're saying is then that organized crime takes precedence over rape. arguments can be made for both. alex, we don't have that luxury. we're working with a serial rapist here and the next woman, i'm telling you he's going to kill her. i will file a habeas in the morning.

the judge is going to find her in contempt. cabot: the people request habeas corpu your honor. a warrant was issued for a blood sample for a rape suspect whos a federally protected witness. he has been made unavailable by the united states atrney's office. i made an offer to have the blood drawn by the fbi lab and delivered to the police. the case isn't federal. it falls under the jurisdiction of the city and county of new york. special circumstances. our witness was recognized. objection. peter sipes is a suspect in three brutal rapes. he is not a witness. nevertheless he was spotted at a local precinct by a former acquaintance and had to be ved immediately. how can we settle this amicably? the ausa is in contempt of state law, your honor. either she produces the suspect or she should sit in a cell until she does. she's made an excellent point. why shouldn't i give her what she wants, claudia? you know what i'm up against. pearlman has eyes everywhere. i have made every effort to cooperate.

chain of idence. how can we be sure it's the suspect's unless we actually draw it? objeion. i'm offended by the implication. who else would the blood come from? mistakes are made all the time. if that's true, then i'm more inclined to trust a federal lab facility with greater resources than your own. four vials oo-negative belonging to peter sipes as promised. yeah, and how can we be sure this isn't your blood? signed affidavits by the fbi lab technician stating location, time and subject. or will you argue conspiracy now? cragen: no. i'm hoping you just bend the law and don't actually break it. i had the blood tested. i wanted to make sure my trust was not misplaced. and what did you find? i included the lab report with the affidavits. i figured you'd want to test it yourself. don't try to tell us the dna doesn't match. fine, but peter sipes is clear

does our lab report match the fbi results? yes, it does. peter sipes is innocent. but his y chromosome matches the dna in the rape kit.

his son, gavin sipes, is our rapist. well, this time, the ausa should turn him over without a fit. i don't think she'd do anything without one. gavin sipes is a protected witness by default because of his father's testimony. just go reason with ms. williams and close this file. and if that doesn't work? arrest her. what do you want now? your office said you'd be here; what happened? well, as far as i can tell recent immigrant refused to pay a protection fee. there are two bodies. innocent bystander. you can see now what i'm up against. so, what do you need? benson: gavin sipes. you sure? dna doesn't lie. gavin a diabetic? yeah. bring hiover. gavin left our program and our protection. i don't have him. since when? since we moved his father and he refused to go. said he had enough running to last him for a lifetime. you find that strange? no. protectees exit the program all the time. we can't force him to join we can't stop them if they want to leave.

children leave when they grow up. so, at least let us talk to peter. he'll know where his son is. it wouldn't do any good. they've severed all contact. from now on, all phone calls and visits are coordinated and monitored by the maral's service. claudia... gavin's not going to stop and i hope that you're not hiding him for daddy's sake. now, why would i do that? to keep your witness happy and talking. look for bad habits. gavin has a gambling problem. but you didn't hear that from me. gavin has racked up a lot of debt-- $10, $20,000 at a time. so far, peter has paid about $100,000 in bts through atlantic city. and how can he afford that? well, he can't. they're behind in the gym lease anthe rentals of the equipment. check this out. new jersey house-- has three mortgages on it.

all with the same restaurant. are you sure about that? okay, thanks. buddy says the place is a known front for an underground gambling club downtown. people can pay off their debts by charging it to credit cards for wine and filet mignon dinners. russian restaurant? no, it's italian. now, the ones from jersey-- look at that-- a lot of calls from downtown. the last payment was made a while ago. maybe they're not too happy about that. benson: nypd-- benson, stabler. move aside. detectives. i'm joe tucci. tell me how i can help you. close down. this is an illegal club. you're not from vice. vice? i don't need to be from vice to ruin your day. causing you trouble sounds like fun to me. stabler: i'm going to make the call, get the ball rolling. all right, what can i do to make this right, please? gavin sipes. he likes poker.

he's not very good at it. you found a lot of money coming your way. must've made you mad when it stopped. sometimes people need convincing. yeah? so what'd you do-- you called peter up, threatened his son's life? you watch too many movies. de men don't pay up. all right, come on. stop screwing around. tell me what you need. when's the next payment? who's making it? peter called. he's worried about his kid. he's due here later to talk over terms. what's he so worried about if you're such a nice guy? i'm a businessman. peter understands that. his kid seems like the type to try to skip. i had to make it clear to the old man his boy walks into any gambling joint-- anywhere in this country-- i'll know; it won't be pleasant. how much does he owe? 400 grand, and still counting. we're just going to stick around and wait till dad shows up if you don't mind. my son didn't do this. stabler: you knew he was guilty after we talked to you. he's the diabetic. we need to know where he is right now. this is all my fault. he stays out there, the next woman could die.

attacking these women; gambling debts-- he's in so deep, i don't know how to fix it. stabler: how old was he when you went into the program? eleven. we were moved five times in ten years. every time, he had to learn a new name. nelies for his past, fit into a new school. he missed so much that finally, he just quit trying. how can a little boy grow up to be a man when he has no idea who he really is? what happened to his mother? anna? died. that was before we came into the program. in fact, she was the reason why i approached the feds. the russia murdered her? punishment for skimming. i used to be a chemist. i was approached by the mikhailian organizastia for a smuggling scam. they moved millions of gallons of grain alcohol to europe disguised as a mouthwash. i taught them how to extract the blue dye.

and then it was gas tax medicaid fraud, and extortion. but you're the one who got greedy so why kill your wife instead of you? anna handled the money. when she was caught stealing from the family they killed her for it. if they were willing to do that to their own flesh and blood what were they going to do to me and my son? so that's how you got involved. you married into it. we met during the vodka scam. after we married i... i rose very quickly to vorde e zaconya. what does that mean? i'm what's known as a "thief in law." then there's about 500 eagles. the rest are lieutenants, counselors. all in all, there's about 5,000 members in the u.s.-- mostly assimilated and accent-free. not as organized as the italians, but... getting there. so, why did gavin target those women? how did he even know who they were? i told him everything about the russians here-- in florida and in california. i kept a record of everybody i ever did business with-- names, people i met.

about what his mother and i did-- what he'd sacrificed his life for. peter, the mob's going to wise up pretty soon if they haven't already. he's targeting their women. now what do you think they're going to do to him? they're not going to do anything. he's going to hide. i cut him off. i'm broke. i can't pay his bills anymore. which means he's a dead man. he's got an diction. he can't lay low for long. if you love him, turn him in. the marshals are bringing him to me today. supervised visit... before they move me one more time. ( sighs ) ( choking up ): all i ask is that you don't hurt my son. here's the warrant.

you'll be in their jurisdiction. get any calls from the u.s. attorney's office? no, nothing. so much for cooperation. you'll be able to take custody as soon as the u.s. marshals pull up with our rapist. all right, just keep it clean. i don't want some fight with the feds over injuries. we're going to leave. we'll get a two-hour jump. i'm here till it's done. car. stabler: that's him. let's go. dad! oh, my god. dad! no! dad! ( gavin whimpering ) drop it! do it now!

i said drop it! hold up! we're cops! i don't give a damn. drop it, or i'll drop you. both of you, on the ground. move! you, too! on the ground! ( sobbing ) get their guns and cuff them.

well, it was nice to see everyone. i just wish it had been for a better reason. me, too, but the eulogy that frank's daughter gave was beautiful. i st feel bad knowing they struggled to pay for the funeral, especially without life insurance. i wish they would've let us help. but, it did make me think, though. about what? well, that i could leave you in the same situation. i don't have life insurance, either. if something were to happen to me tomrow, how are you pay for my funeral? or my other bill

you don't know that. i made a promise to always take care of you kids. without life insurance, i'm not keeping it. besides, i already looked into it and between my budget and health, well ... you should call massmutual. they have a new policy called guaranteed acceptance life insurance. i got covered th one call, and it was an affordable option for reliable coverage. what do you think, mom? i think it's time to make sure i keep that promise. if you're age 50-75, it's easier than ever to get reliable coverage at an affordable price. call massmutual today for guaranteed acceptance life insurance. with no medical questions or exams, you cannot be turned down. with one phone call, you can get coverage ranging from $2,000-$25,000, and premiums can start at less than $10 per month. aranteed acceptance life insurance can help your loved ones cover expenses such as funeral costs, remaining medical expenses and credit card bills. we have several payment options,

i already told you what happened. tell it to me again. how'd you get the address? peter sipes gave it to me. then it's convenient for you to resist. we can't corroborate your story. that is one wa of looking at it. no, that's how it is. well, this is crazy, and i'm due a phone call. who else did you talk to? no one. who else besides the gambling club owner... joe cci? i already answered the question.

we did. were you aware at he was a criminal associate from california who knew sipes' identity? yes. and yet you still pursued him even though you knew the deceased to be a federay protected witness and that you were endangering his life. is that correct, tective? we were pursuing a rape suspect, gavin sipes. his father gave us the address. we were there to do our job. and yet, two men are dead. one a deputy u.s. marshal with a wife and three children. how much do you make a year? uh, that depends on overtime but why don't we say $68,940. must be hard to make ends meet with a family of six. i'm a cop. and the nypd has a history of being squeaky clean.

we can hold you for up to 72 hours without giving you one. fallout from 9-11. who else did you talk to? i'm done talking. charge me or let me go. have a seat. you know we had nothing to do with the hit. i'm not confessing so why don't you just let me go? you think i don't use these tactics myself? i can make you sit down, detective stabler. up to you. you are officially under investigation by the fbi. your police jackets and your financial records have been subpoenaed. new york police department has been duly notified internal affairs is running a concurrent investigation into the matter. this is a witch hunt and you know it. you lost a witness, so you need someone to blame. two men are dead. i told you to back off. you didn't, you pay. you can't connect us to these murders. we had nothing to do with it. you could have sold the information or your bush league tactics could have led the killers there. either way, you're culpable. stabler: yeah, how? michael kerring-- he i.d.'d peter sipes. he's in lockup in our squad room.

they took him away yesterday for his arraignment. he is now serving 30 days in rikers for shoplifting where he has access to phone privileges and the general population. if michael kerring ratted out sipes we're not responsible. i disagree. now, if you don't mind i'm busy. yeah, well, we're not done yet. you arrest gavin sipes-- you read him his rights? no. then ring himon in here, now. i can't. i sent him to your precinct hours ago. gavin sipes. he processed? cragen: three counts rape in the first degree. just waiting on transport to the tombs. how you holding up? denied my civil liberties. treated like some skel. suspected of conspiracy to commit murder. but, you know, i think i've hit bottom. iab was here digging for dirt. think i spoke too soon. well, how bad is it?

the burden of proof rests mostly on the defendants. but we did nothing wrong! as law enforcement officials you were well aware of the risks and you disregarded them for your own benefit. claudia could argue that sensitive information was passed on to the criminal element. why would we do that? what's our motive? they don't need to prove motive. in your zeal to show up federal officers a witness and a u.s. marshal are dead. that's all a jury needs to hear. the feds can't make a criminal case. you're still going to have to face the brass. and they could boot you. i'm not just handing over my tin without a fight. i don't expect you to. we've got to find out who killed peter sipes, to clear our name. munch, what do we have on your witness, michael kerring? did he talk to anybody at rikers? he made some calls. to who? one to brighton beach. go sit him down. shake him up if you have to. don't sweat it. we got your back.

guy at the club had a lot of muscle. and access to professional hitters. look, i didn't do anything wrong. phone call went to a woman named dina wolfman in brighton beach. yeah, she's my girlfriend. i begged her to get me out of here; she refused. she said she was tired of wasting her money on me. what's the problem? you talk to her and she'll tell you. we alrdy did. then why the third degree? ms. wolfman works in a restaurant that's owned by the mo turns out she has to because she's here illegally. what better way to get her out from under than to pass on some valuable information? you don't know what you're talking about. the organizastia does not work that way. then explain it to us. they don't leave loose ends. if i had talked someone in here would have killed me already. benson: hey, step back. if you wanted me to set you up with some chips you just had to ask. you're a real generous guy, there, joe.

send some of your boys to do a little housecleaning? like what? benson: like murder. peter sipes was killed yesterday. wasn't me. i think it was. you had about 400,000 reasons to kill him. you don't know what you're talking about. the account's been closed. stabler: oh, just like that, it's closed? yeah, the debt was paid in full not an hour after you left. by who? gavin sipes. in cash. you want to get off me now? how's your glucose level? you need some insulin? i got time. what's your real name? nikolai. nikolai. it fits you. names are important. i've had several.

i was even a thomas for a whole nine days. why such a short time with thomas? i screwed up. i forgot our cover story. so, for once, i just told the truth. how old were you when that happened? thirteen. everyone was upset. my dad, the marshals, the attorneys. they told me it cost a fortune to move us. if i kept running my mouth, it would get us killed. that's a hell of a lot of guilt for a kid. childhood's the time to make mistakes. not in the program. when we first went in dad would sit against the window with a gun. he never slept. he'd have panic attacks, so we didn't go out. i used to ask him why, why we lived like that and all he'd say was "someday."

when i got my ged. moved around so much i couldn't even get a lousy high school diploma. i had to take a test with a bunch of losers pretending that it was going to change our lives. well, maybe he wanted you to be proud of him for doing the right thing, to let you know that... your sacrifice meant something. what he wanted was for me to make him feel better about screwing me out of a future. is that when you decided to get even? get even for what? for getting screwed by your parents. especially your mother. you can't hold a grudge against the dead. aw, sure you can. she died on you before you could vent your anger. your mother betrayed you. both your parents betrayed you. no. no, so why are you raping innocent women in some

innocent? yeah. petra was a stripper living off the proceeds of sergei's victims. his sister tatiana decided where the illegals would work off their debts. and amanda was washing off the blood from their money. those bitches lost their innocence way before i was even born. just too easy though, huh? raping those women couldn even the score. nothing could make up for those lost years, could it? is that why your father had to die? i don't know what you're talking about. sure you do. what better way to get back at your old man than to turn him or to the very people that he's testifying against? that's not how it happened. no? then why call a butcher shop in brighton beach? why call the house in connecticut

if not to make sure that he was home? i didn't have the money. and he wouldn't give me any more. what was i supposed to do? th were going to kill me. ( sighs ) yeah, and now we will. murder of a law enforcement officer is an automatic needle. i didn't think they were going to kill him. sergei said he just wanted to talk to dad. you talked to sergei pearlman yourself? i met with his lieutenant. i was there when he called him

benson: that's them. claudia's not here. where the hell are they? we got to take him. benson: sergei pearlman. are you sergei pearlman? yes. you're under arrest. step back, pase. you're under arrest for the murders of peter sipes and deputy u.s. marshal raymond lee. you have the right to remain silent. anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law. you have the right to an attorney. if you cannot afford one onwill be appointed to you. you understand these rights? ( cellhone rings ) stabler. heads up!

you arrest sergei pearlman? he's in central booking now. we'll have to vacate the charges. we're going to have to let him walk. yeah. what happened? shooter entered the courtyard masking as a guard. opened fire with an automatic weapon. russians? no i.d., but i'd bet my life on it. well, sergei had to buy the information on gavin's transfer in orderto pull this off. he had to get it from someone inside. probably. so what's your next move? that's just it, detective. i don't have one. claudia.

: 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. man: what'd you do?

freaking construction on the van wyck. 20 minutes at a dead stop. sorry for the delay, folks. customers ain't interested in your prlems. relax, everyone. we'll be on our way quick if you load up your luggage inn orderly fashion and have your tickets ready. what the hell? call 911. jfk terminal five. we got a body on the bus. please stand back... i'm a nurse. barely breathing, no pulse. can anybody help with cpr? detective katie moore. hello, elliot. my boss caught me on my way into work told me to meet queens special victims out here. now, we got a kid in a luggage compartment? dead kid now. hispanic male, about nine or ten. asphyxiated. any id? nothing in his pockets. how we doing? cherry-red lips. discoloration under his fingernails. probably carbon monoxide poisoning. where's the sex crime?

he also has a two-inch laceration on his left arm and fresh bruising on his chest and back. somebody kicked the crap out of this kid. and you invited me out here to queens because...? ve been waiting for you to ask me that for eight months. oh, since we stuck you with that dead hooker? is this payback, katie? bus came straight from the yard in manhattan. no stops, no pickups. this poor kid was assaulted on your turf

yeah, log says bus 202 was out of service from 11:00 last night till 7:00 this morning. any chance the kid could have sneaked on before it came back here? ah, we would have found him. driver stays behind to check every compartment, all the seats. you know, see if anything was left. they got security at the front gate. any other way in here? that's what i wanted to show you. you got yourself a rat problem. yeah, tell me about it. every time we fix one of these, another pops up. we're constantly kicking o street kids and hookers. looks like you caught a piece of one right here. the bus the kid was on--

over here. the bus left, uh, for jfk at 7:00 this morning. liv, you got a glove on you? here you go. what did you find? something underneath the wheel. a teddy bear. it's not weathered. that looks like dried blood to me. maybe the cut from the kid's arm. and there's glass embedded in it. hey, you have any broken windows in the lot this morning? yeah, well, we haven't had much of a problem with vandalism ever since the insurance company made us put in security cameras. okay, we'll need to take a look at last night's tapes. sure. munch: 11:47. there. walking along the fence. the victim's holdi hands with this older kid. stabler: what's he holding right there? ah, a teddy bear. we found one of those at the bus depot. fin: there goes his shirt.

run it back. who is this older kid anyway? could be his brother. or perp tricks the victim into following him, rapes him in the yard and locks him in the luggage compartment. yeah, but the doa was clea if he'd been sodomized in that yard you'd expect to find abrasions on his hands, his knees. i mean, somewhere. could have happened on another bus. in which case, our already contaminated crime scene may be on its way to one of the airports. along with our perp. i'll call the bus company and the rt authority cops. have them put out alerts. what about missing persons? olivia's there right now. have her meet you at the morgue. if our me can find something to help us id the victim maybe we can catch a break. the blood onhe teddy bear is type ab. same as the victim. what about the glass? consistent with what i found the cut on his arm. crime lab says it's tempered safety glass. no coating or tinting. so it's probably not from a car window. more like the kind used for soundproofing. teddy bear seems like an awful strange thing for a street kid to be carrying around. your victim's no street kid. he's recently bathed, well-nourished and disease-free.

noah? detective stabler and benson this is our forensic odontologist, dr. noah kamens. so how much are we talking for this dental work? smooth, invisible braces. an implant where no permanent tootgrew in. i'd say we're looking at ten grand total. any idea how long ago this was done? judging from the condition of the materials, within the last month. there's got to be a couple hundred orthodontists in the tri-state area. true, but the implant's custom-made so the manufacturer's id will be on it. we'll pull the fake tooth. lab who made it can tell us which dentt ordered it. detectives. ( phone ringing ) benson. rape kit's back. positive for semen. and i just found something else when i rolled him. suture scars, recently healed, on his anus. someone's been violently abusing this kid for some time. thanks. we got to go. they may have just found our perp. woman: pulled in 45 minutes ago. one of the passengers was this kid. but i don't remember him getting on. do you recognize this? yeah. that looks like the shirt he was wearing. how many stops do you make?

anyway, i asked to see his ticket stub, and he bolts. he must have been hiding on the bus. did you see where we went? yeah. i chased him down this wa he ran right in there but i lost him in the crowd. port authority cops said you waited 15 minutes before you called them. how come? are you kidding? my dispatcher would skin me alive if he found out i left that bus unattended two seconds. look, i'm running late. i got to get out of here. just stay here. we're not done. driver made a positive id. thanks. any sign of the kid? 15 minutes ago, right here. one of my guys spotted him, kid took off. all right. i called in for help as soon as i got the heads up that you had a piece of his clothes. maybe we can sniff him out. here's the shirt. ( barking ) stabler: what's back there? leads straight to the tarmac. we can get out there this way.

we got him. police! stop! you trying to get yourself killed? leave me alone! calm down. i want to go home! calm down. we're trying to help you. now, calm... i want to go home! i want to go home! calm down. we're trying to help you. i want to go home. stabler: what's youname? hey, you're in a lot of trouble. do you understand that? deport me. we don't deport killers. i didn't kill anyone. then what happened to your little friend with the teddy bear? jose? he's dead? stabler: okay, let's try this again. from the start. what's your name? ernesto. ernesto diaz.

he's my iend. you said at the airport that you wanted to go home. where's home? guatemala. jose, too. well, how did you get here? by boat. two years ago. my parents sent me here to go to school. the charity promised to protect me. but instead they gave me and jose to the man. what charity? i don't know. well, did you come here with jose? no. he came in last month. the man said...

( sighs ) what did he do to you? pt us locked up. ma us have sex with him. he would beat us when we said no. did you ever try to escape before? once. he said he would kill jose and my parents if i ever did it again. but i couldn't watch jose suffer no more. ernesto... he's not going to hurt you. he's not going to hurt your parents or anyone else ever again, but we need your help. bret jansen. he made us call him dad.

and ncic have nothing on jose or ernesto and ins has no record of a visa. maybe the guatemalan police know if they were kidnapped. what about jansen? there's a bret jansen listed on thomas street. that matches ernesto's description. not far om ground zero. well, if that's him, dad has some bucks. he's a partner at stitt, beam and cornell a blue-chip, wall street law firm. with his own personal sex slaves. you know, if the ins never processed these kids he had to have smuggled them in here. so let's go pick him up at his office and ask him about it. jansen's office says he's mia. he's probably out somewhere looking for his boys. so we'll get a warrant for his place. ernesto's statement has got to be enough. all these dead bolts are unlocked. this door weighs a ton. steel over wood. foam and rubber on the inside. it's soundproofed. floors are, too. they're elevated. probably insulation underneath. magnetic locks. this guy's serious about his security. fin: the windows are locked. it looks like you need a key to open all of them.

broken window. went down the fire escape. dad didn't even bother to clean up the glass. jansen must have panicked when he came home, found the boys missing. rushed right out to find them. poultry shears. probably used it to cut through the wire mesh. explains the cut on jose's arm. and the broken glass on the teddy bear. and why it's tempered. even if the boys screamed for help nobody would hear them. so far ernesto's story totally checks out. this lock has been jimmied. t the shears out this drawer, huh? both the boys' bedrooms also have magnetic locks on the doors. he kept them locked in to protect his investment and i haven't seen a phone around here anywhere. probably got them locked up, too. i think we found the guy who owns this place. where? in bed. sleep tight, mr. jansen. somebody slit his throat.

what if you had a medical emergency away from home? my chest hurts. i can't breathe. what you need is mobile help. america's premier mobile medical alert system. most systems only work at home. but with mobile help, you get help outside the home, with coverage nationwide on one of the largest cellular networks, at the press of a button. i couldn't dial 9-1-1 because i was out of it. i just pushed the button and when i woke up i was in the hospital.

where i am. i have mobile help. they know where i am. i have a number of health issues. if you were to call 9-1-1, they would not know what your issues are. mobile help has all of that on file so the emergency responders already know what my needs are. there are things i wouldn't do if i didn't have mobile help. mobile help is a life saver. literally and figuratively. with mobile help i feel safe, i feel secure, and i have my life back. call the number on your screenfor a free full color brochure. we'll send you everything you need including this base station, the patented mobile device, and the waterproof pendant and wrist button. you can also add the fall button that automatically detects falls and signals help even if you are unconscious and unable to press the button. there is no equipment to buy and no long-term contract. for a limited time, you will also receive a free

don't settle for a medical alertsystem that only works at home. mobile help has given me my life because i'm not restricted anymore. i have freedom to live now. join the thousands of people nationwide already using mobile help. and remember...mobile help

doctor found bruises all over his body. permanent damage from being repeatedly sodomized over two yea. that's a hell of a good reason to cut up jansen. ernesto have anything to do with this murder? it's possible. jansen used his genitals as a weapon against him and jose. cutting them off might be the ultimate protection. that crime scene was a bloodbath and ernesto didn't have a drop on him. plus, we didn't find any spattered clothing. and csu found fresh traces of blood in the shower

an adult might think of that, but a 14-year-old boy? i said it was possible.i didn't say i thought he did it. just seeing jansen chopped up would be horrific enough to traumatize this kid. if he saw the murder, then he might be afraid that the killer will harm him if he tells. well, what's the strategy, doc? ernesto was abused by a man. olivia, give him all the affection and proval you can. ( door opens ) ernesto... last night... no matter what happened... it's not your fault. do you understand that? jose is dead. that's my fault. no, sweetheart. you tried to save jose. not many boys your age would have done that. now, i can help you, but i need to know what happened last night. please, ernesto, let me helyou.

i heard him crying, begging him to stop. i yelled. called him a pig! i told him to leave jose alone. then he came in, pulled me out of bed. and i hit him over and over. and what did he do? he just smiled. he said when he was done with jose i'd find o what real pain was. then what? he w mad. he told jose if he didn't be quiet he send him to the other men.

begged him to stop. he got so mad, he left. ernesto, these other men... did he ever send you to them? i'm afraid. honey, i promise you nobody can hurt you as long as you're with us. i promise you. they'd take me for a while... then they would give me back. i didn't want them to do that to jose. now it's a ring of pedophiles. how many of these sick bastards raped that kid? better find them fast. god knows how many other boys they're passing around. the level of rage in jansen's murder could have been jealousy. especially if onof his boy-sharing buddies kept ernesto and didn't want to give him back. that makes sense. jansen had to know whoever killed him. that apartment was locked up like a fortress.

munch: for your viewing disgust. apparently, jansen wasn't satisfied just victimizing jose and ernesto. oh, that's great-- two men and a kid no older than my ten-year-old son. cragen: well, i recognize jansen, t, uh, who's the other guy? munch: i forced myself to scroll through this excrement. you never see his face. stabler: second guy's got a couple tattoos. let's turn this off. turn it off, will you? odds are that video was made in central america since that's where jansen found jose and ernesto. fin: we also got adoption papers on both the boys-- all bogus. but this will really make your skin crawl-- bulletins from the nth american man-boy love association and their constitution. we got ourselves a nambla member. this stuff is like a how-to guide for pedophiles. "keep your lover's identity a secret. "never discuss your relationship with a shrink. hide your photos where the cops can't find them."

there are pedophiles who claim they can help boys as young as three discover their sexuality in a nonthreatening, nurturing way. and they hide behind the first amendment to spew that crap but they operate in cells like al qaeda so one group can't finger another. look, let's be honest: killing jansen was a public service. and if we find who did kill him it might lead us to the rest of these pervs and the boys they're keeping. now, first thing in the morning you and olivia go to jansen's law office and track down his friends. that was the me. i got the dentist who worked on jose's teeth. man: as soon as the lab notified us my assistant called you guys. how did jose die? we think it was an accident. his father must be devastated. well, he's dead, too. that wasn't an accident. oh, my god. what happened? murdered in his apartment. and ernesto? he's fine. you took care of him? uh... the occasional cleaning and filling. nothing like theork i did on jose. how well did you know bret jansen? not well at all.

he seemed ke a really caring father. jansen ever make any referrals? no. no, we're so busy we're not accepting any new patients. why do you ask? just routine questions. anything unusual about him or the boys you remember? well... just that he was impatient. he wanted it all done at once. and fast. he say why? he'd just adopted jose and he was about to enroll him in school. mr. jansen told me he got teased for having metal braces when he was a kid and didn't want his son to get picked on. only the best for his boys. woman: he was a great boss. i'm sick over this. we all are. did you keep his calendar? i put his daily schedule on the computer. but mr. jansen kept his own lawyer's diary. it's that red book on his desk. surprised there are no family pictures around. mr. jansen didn't have any family. both parents passed away, no siblings. did he ever mention his two sons?

no way mr. jansen has kids, and i don't know about it. what about friends? you know how many hours you have to bill to make partner? mr. jansen didn't have time for friends. there was a lunch last tuesday-- stewart lynch? he's a client. they ate at mr. jansen's club. man: bret was a real ladies' man. different beautiful girl every week. was jealous. he ever mention having children? no. the only kids we ever talked about were mine. i could brag about them all day. i don't think bret would have made a very good father. why is that? he had a terrible temper. let little things tick him off that wouldn't bother most guys. kids would have driven him crazy. was he friends with anyone else here in the club? uh... tony don's the only person i can think of. they played squash together. thanks for your time. oh, one more thing-- you ever been to jansen's apartment?

thanks, mr. lynch. we'll be in touch. no problem, and it's dr. lynch. i'm sorry. i didn't know. what kind of doctor are you? reconstructive plastic surgery and my specialty is hand repair. well, dr. lynch, would you mind telling us where you were the night that jansen was murdered? not at all. i was in the o.r. from 10:00 at night until dawn the next morning reattaching a thumb and two fingers severed in a car accident. two nights ago? i was home, just off the plane from chicago. still have the boarding pass if you need it. that won't be necessary, mr. damon. we jusheard that you and mr. jansen played squash a couple times a week. well, when i'm in town. bret usually kicked my ass all over the court. did you ever socialize outside the club? i'm on the road a lot for work, detective. i spend my down time at home relaxing. come on. u must know something about him. he had a strange sense of humor. how so? friday, we're in a match, i serve and ace him. he laughs. says it was a lucky shot

and that he should have cut off my balls years ago. jansen's genitals weren't exactly cut off. they were surgically excised. come again? removed with a scalpel by someone who knows anatomy and pre-mortem. so, someone wanted to really make him suffer. how did the perp incapacitate him? whacked him on the head with a blunt object. probably took that with him. now, an amateur would have slit his throat right across. jansen's killer made precise incisions at the carotid artery here and here, after... you don't need to demonstrate that part. plastic surgeon would know how to do the job on jansen. and sew up jose. like an expert. ernesto. got some good news for you. did you find my mama and papa? yep. and they're coming here to get you. when? tomorrow. but listen, first we need your help one more time.

well, you said bret sent you to some other men. do you know any names? no. now, what about a doctor? did he ever take you or jose to go see a doctor? he would come over to see us when we were sick. okay, you know his name? no, but he was nice. ernesto, did h ever touch you? never. we're going to show you some photos. if you recognize anybody, just tell us. that's him. that's our doctor. you're sure? yes.

damon ow a travel agency called global voyages. he lives in scarsdale, he's single, no children. now, there w a whole lot of phone activity between them the night that jansen was murdered. at 10:52, jansen makes a 30-second call to lynch. presumably when he came home to find the boys had flown the coop. then jansen called damon. they talked for two minutes. damon then gave lynch a 20-second callba. customs says that jansen traveled to guatemala two years ago around the time ernesto was brought here. that's probably when that videotape was made. damon is setting up his friends on sex tours and they're bringing back human souvenirs. and passing them around their friends. which means we got to try to get lynch's kids out of that house tonight. all we have are two phone calls? it's not enough. stabler: we checked. lynch's three kids are boys. god knows what he's doing to them right now. are they legally adopted? we won't know that information until tomorrow morning.

no, all three of the boys go to public schools. are there any complaints of abuse? none to acs or the local precinct. look, we already have lynch on failing to report jose's abuse. an "a" misdeanor, with no priors i'd argue for a fine and no jail time. i think alex is dining with the enemy. can you give us two minutes? yeah, the game's on at the bar. why don't i check that out? look, we take lynch's kids away from him and were wrong a heavy hitter like him is going to drag us into court and make our lives miserable. get me some hard evidence. computer crimes found this buried on jansen's hard drive. "your special tour to central america is confirmed. if your friends enjoy, have them get in touch." that is an e-mail from damon to jansen right before jansen's trip two years ago. now, that sounds like a confirmation letter. and that he's soliciting men to travel overseas to rape children. that's a federal crime. let's catch him in the act.

mr. blackmun, is it? john blackmun. so, you got my e-mail? about our special tour to the philippines. let me first ask you where you got my e-mail address. from a friend of ours but i don't want to mention any names. well, your personal credit information checked out okay. you ran my credit? to make sure you are who you say you are. for both of our protection. which is why i also need to see some id. i understand completely. good. it's a standard two-week package. you fly business class stay in a business hotel. meals and entertainment are included for $5,000. and the, uh, entertainment? do you prefer girls boys? or both? boys, 11 to 13. we work with an orphanage. five-year-olds on up. plus, you get a videotape, so you can cherish the memory. great.

i didn't want to leave a paper trail. when would you like to travel, mr. blackmun? or is there another name you'd like to use? as a matter of fact, there is. john munch. but you can call me "detective." get up, put your hands behind your back right now. now! now! this is entrapment. well, we call it conspiracy. fin: police officer step away from the table. don't touch anything. get the computers and the files. tape good? did you get it all? every single word. great. so, what's this conspiracy that you're charging me with? facilitating the rape of children in foreign countries. there's no state law against that. stabler: federal law. we turn our tape over to the u.s. attorney, you're toast. federal statutes require proof of the sex act. that means they need a victim. where are they going to fininone? no wonder this guy doesn't need a lawyer. he's got the law memorized with all his other nambla buddies. nambla? i'm not one of those freaks. how many boys do they pass around to you?

talking about. do you think i am some dumb cop? elliot! you think you're smarter than me?! i need a doctor! you're going to need a morgue, pal. he's not worth it. get off me. you're nothing but a lowlife pimp who sells children. you sent bret jansen on a sex tour. him and a friend ma a video doing a ten-year-old boy. friend? i don't know about any friend. yeah, right-- just like you didn't know your customers have been smuggling back little sex toys of their own. listen, jansen and lynch did that on their own. i had nothing to do with it. you had nothing to do with anything, did you? how about sex tours? do you know anything about them, huh? do you book sex tours? ( panting ): yes. how many do you book? a couple dozen. yeah? over the years. just a couple dozen. i swear i'm not one of them. i was just in it for the money. which the feds are going to take away from you while you're sitting on death row for slicing up bret jansen. what?! i had nothing to do with that. that's funny, because somebody did to him exactly what he joked about doing to you. that rat bastard. you've got to be more specific. there's a lot of them running around in this case.

that he was going to cut my balls off. he's using it to set me up. why would he want to kill jansen? because lynch hand-picked jose for jansen. then jansen called lynch said he wanted his money back when jose and ernesto escaped. when's the last time you spoke to lynch? before jansen was killed. lynch called. he said he wanted to know why the video of his trip hadn't arrived yet. i told him it was on its way. make me a deal. make me a deal, and i will give you lynch on a silver platter. what can we do here? the sex tours are federal and i am not giving him immunity until we're sure he didn't kill jansen. maybe we can get lynch without damon's help. the doctor's sex tour video is in the mail. have the post office set up a sneak preview. fin: postal inspectors found it in a box marked like potry, and knew it was the real deal. mail carrier drops it off 15 minutes ago. he leaves, lynch comes out, scoops it right up.

boy: who is it? police. open the door. como te llamas? juan. quien vive aqui, juan? mi pap* y nosotros. solamente. en d_nde est* tu pap* ahorita? en su studio. he's in the study. lynch: no fastidies. what's up, doc? you can't just barge in here like this. just wanted to watch a little tv. what's on? look like the doc's star of his own freak show. put your hands behind your back. where'd you get ramon and his brothers? they're my legally adopted sons. i have the papers to prove it. oh, really? and the boy on the tape? he legally adopted? i'm not saying anything without an attorney.

if you're offering a deal, we're willing to listen. listen to this.

they're all forgeries. stabler: we also found the ins agent you paid to phony up their visas and bret jansen's two boy's visas as well as who knows how many others. that is ten years federal prison for every boy you smuggled in. i smuggled in? are you people insane? not to mention kidnapping and sexual abuse. i didn't abuse my sons. attorney: stewart. no, i need to say this. i would never force my boys to do anything they didn't want to do. your boys are barely teenagers. they can't consent to statutory rape. stabler: how did they feel about you passing them around to your pedophile pals? i did no such thing. i love them. i would never do anything to hurt them. you're not actually considering bringing this nambla crap to court? the boys will tell you it's all true. and when our shrink testifies to how your client brainwashed them, the jury is going to lock him up and throaway the key.

i can't speak for the u.s. attorney. you're going to have to give me something i can bring her. damon is the one smuggling in boys. is he a nambla member, too? no. they're just merchandise to him. he brought in six boys a year, two at a time on a chartered sailboat. who else is in the ring? i'll give you the names of everyone i know. the night jansen was murdered... what did he say to you on the phone? what are you talking about? i never spoke to him. stabler: until you sliced him up? not another word, stewart. i didn't... i didn't kill anybody. cabot: you surgically removed his genitals and cut his throat. we have a statement from our me saying the killer had medical knowledge. i was in surgery the night bret was killed. you're a liar. your hospital said you were on vacation.

i am telling you, i would never do two men and a boy. prove it. take your shirt off! i'm not doing anything without an attorney. okay, here's how we're going to find out which one of you is the movie star-- we're going to get a court order, we're going to strip you we're going to take some pretty pictures and see if your tats match. rounded up 17 pervs so far-- teacher, court clerk, engineer, couple of wall street masters of the universe-- all of them say that damon got them their so-called son or daughter. how many kids? fourteen. acs is placing them with temporary foster homes. chief of detectives wants us to beat the feds to a news conference pat us on the back for breaking this pedophile ring. you know what the thing of it is? not one of these skels is going to do nearly as much time as whoever killed jansen. and lynch's alibi checked out. got a whole operating room full of people that swear that he was 350 miles from here the night jansen was murdered. here's the doctor's report on lynch's kids.

and that they're in otherwise excellent health. blood work is normal... hearinand vision all check out. and perfect teeth. what's the name of that dentist? massey? he wasn't a member of the metropolis club and he wasn't on damon's sex tour list. it doesn't mean he's not one of them. these pedophiles operate in their own parallel netherworld. makes sense they'd have a dentist, too. massey have any kids? two and a wife. and he would have taken anatomy and done oral surgery in dental school. find out how many of their boys dr. massey worked on. if there's a pattern, it should be enough for us to get a warrant. woman: search our house? what in god's name for? mrs. massey, i'm so sorry. we're just doing our job. why don't you start upstairs in the master bedroom. check everything in the closets. homicide? you think walt murdered someone? do you know where he was two nights ago?

heeft about 9:30. so walt couldn't have done it. handsome boys. thank you. they look so much like you. but i don't see any resemblance to your husband. they're from my previous marriage. where's their father? attica-- doing eight to ten years for trying to kill me. he's lost his parental rights. walt adopted the boys. mrs. massey... how did you meet your husband? i put a personal ad in... in the newspaper and he answered it. please forgive me for asking this but how has your relationship been with your husband lately?

please, mrs. massey. walt is a good man. our relationship isn't about sex. it's... he's a saint. he... ...he rescued me and my boys. does he pay attention to one boy more than he does to another? the older one, shawn... um, they're together all the time when walt is home. oh, my god. what's he done? do you miss your real dad, shawn? walt's our dad now. how do you feel about that? my other dad used to hit my mom. he didn't want to be with me and darren... my little brother. we had to live in a shelter till mom met walt. and what do you anwalt do?

go to ball games. he coaches my soccer team. stabler: that's cool. what do you do when you're alone together? he said... i could never tell anyone. that they wouldn't understand. shawn, look at me. i do understand. and there is no need to be afraid. walt likes to stay with me. what do you mean... what do you mean "stay"? stay where? ( sobbing ) shawn: at night. in my room. mm-hmm. when did this start? one night he just came in. he said he wted to be near me

( sighs ) did he ever touch you anywhere? not then. how about now? he's... he says it's how fathers are supposed to love their sons. shawn, you need to know that none of this is your fault. now, what he is doing is wrong. i know... but walt takes care of my mom and we don't have to live in the shelter anymore. ( sobbing ) my mom doesn't get beat up anymore.

sorry to keep you waiting. i've been dealing with another case. am i under arrest? your colleagues dragged me out of my office in front of my patients like i'm some criminal. that was a huge mistake. i'm really sorry about that. they, uh... weren't supposed to do that. i saw you were talking to shawn. he seems like a really great kid.

you know, how much you love him and his mom. look, elliot, we've got to move on this. look, i told you i'm not wasting my time with that crap. you handle it. you have it your way. have it my...? have it my way. i got this case, i got a 14-year-old girl who's dating this 22-year-old guy-- completely consensual sex and they want to lock this poor guy up for statutory rape. he shouldn't be penalized because of the girl's age. she was expressing natural sexual feeling. well, i wish the people who made the laws realized that. it would make my job a hell of a lot easier. so... you agree? look, we're all sexual beings-- children, adults, you know. that's why i'm thinking

is a misunderstanding. what do u mean? ( sighs ) okay, my colleagues brought you in here because they think that you're sexually abusing your boys. now, i've busted my share of child abusers. i'm not getting that vibe from you. i would never do anything to hurt my boys like that. i believe you. i think we both understand it's about love. you love your boys. you treat them with respect. not like bret jansen. he beat his sons, he locked them up. you treated jose. you know what he did to him. he had bruises all over his body. jansen does not love those boys. he forced ernesto and jose to have sex with him.

well... between you and me... i think jansen got what he deserved. his, uh... his punishment it was especially appropriate, don't you think? do you know how jansen was killed? i just know that he hurt those little angels.

wh's with this tattoo that i've seen on a videotape and what about that glass from jansen's apartment that we found in your sneaker? what am i, an idiot? come on. you killed jansen. he ruined it for everybody. i had to make sure he'd never hurt another little boy again. and i'm going to make sure that you never do either. you're under arrest for the murder of jansen and for sexually abusing your son. no! no, i-i didn't force shawnie. he seduced me. now, how... how could i deny him? i never beat h like jansen beat his boys. it's not the same thing. no, it's worse. you have sex with your stepson and you don't think there's anything wrong with that?

narrator: 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 e special victims unit. these are their stories. man: my girlfriend, she hates that i do this. she wants me to quit.

could that happen? oh, man, you wouldn't believe the stuff folks row away. oh! oh, what the hell is that? i don't smell nothing. oh, man, you're crazy. that thingtinks. it may smell bad, but the pay is good. not good enough. break up that mass before it jams the grinder. the damn thing's stuck ( machine stops ) let me see that. is that a hand? holy mother of god. man: me says she's five, maybe six years old. raped and murdered. came in with a load of garbage. stabler: where from? commercial dumpster. half the carting comnies in the city off-load here. benson: is there any way to tell which truck brought the body in? plant manager says they get more than 100 trucks in here everyday and they all dump in one heap that feeds into the maw. ( clears throat ) you see everything on that belt? yeah, what about it? once the me's done, i want you to bag up everything on it. swell. woman: cause of death was ligature strangulation.
