Original subtitles

(male announcer) 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.

[loud rock music]

Where do you think you're goin'?

Leave me alone.

You know what I want from you, bitch.

Stop, please!

Come on, give it to me.

No!

No!

[police siren wails]

Let's get out of here.

We'll take the car!

[car starting]

My baby...

My baby!

[crying]

Joey!

Joey!

(Fin) Victim's name is Samantha Beavan, 21.

Two freaks attacked her in the club.

She got away, they followed her,

stole her car,

and threw her nine-month-old baby out the back.

He survive?

He's still breathing. Car seat saved him.

Mom and kid are on their way to St. Vincent's.

They rape her in the club?

She was orally sodomized in the stairwell.

But so far, no witnesses.

She have any idea who attacked her?

Nah.

She said she couldn't see their faces.

Might have an eyewitness.

Security camera covers that service entrance over there.

We'll pull the tape.

What makes a mother leave her baby in the car

while she goes out clubbing?

(Nurse) No broken bones or head trauma.

He's one tough kid.

Thrown from a moving car, not even a whimper.

(Benson) And what about Sam?

Pretty shook up,

but only cuts and bruises.

Did you do a rape kit?

She wanted to nurse Joey first.

Ms. Beavan, two detectives to see you.

She was just here.

How many exits? Two.

Main entrance and the ambulance bay in back.

I'll take the front.

Sam?

Wait, wait, wait, wait. Hold on.

Sam. I'm Olivia Benson.

I'm a police officer

and I'd like to ask you some questions.

I'm okay.

You were sexually assaulted and you need to be examined.

But I just--I wanna go home.

I understand that.

I just need to ask you a couple questions

about the men who attacked you.

Please. Joey's real tired.

Let me take him home.

Maybe you should have thought about Joey

before you left him in a car.

I know, it was stupid.

But I-I was only going to be a minute.

They were looking for a bartender

and I really need the money--

(Dr. Iqbal) Miss Beavan. Miss Beavan.

You need to come inside.

No. We're both fine.

Your son isn't.

His tox screen was positive for opiates.

Painkillers.

I don't understand.

I'd never give Joey any drugs.

Sam.

You were breast-feeding.

You could have killed him.

(Cragen) Sam Beavan is waiting in the interview room.

What took you so long?

ACS found two priors.

Social worker had to remove the baby.

Sam has a bad habit of leaving Joey alone.

Security tape from the alley.

Really did a number on her.

(Cragen) You get a look at their faces?

Nope, this is it.

Before you ask, no sign of the car.

Sam tell you why she was using painkillers?

She slipped down some subway steps.

Hurt her back, doctor prescribed oxycodone,

she got hooked.

Along with more than a million other illegal users.

They call it Hillbilly Heroin.

You crush it, snort it,

get 12 hours worth of pain meds in one hit.

So we investigate a rape

while we prosecute her for child endangerment.

(Benson) Or we get her into treatment

and find the guys who attacked her.

That baby could have died

while Mommy was trying to score.

So we punish her for being raped?

Look again.

They're pattin' her down.

They're drug dealers.

She probably owed them.

Which means she knows 'em.

Get the tape over to TARU,

see if they can give us faces.

Liv, Elliot, go jog the young lady's memory

about her attackers.

I told that other detective I never saw them before.

It was dark. They grabbed me.

Right, and you told us

you went to the club

looking for a job.

Owner says they never had one,

so why don't we start again, okay?

You went to the club lookin' to buy drugs--

No, I was attacked!

Why are you treating me like I'm a criminal?

Because your baby's toxicology report makes you one.

(Benson) Sam.

You still put your baby at risk.

Now, if you help us, we can help you.

I'll call social services,

we'll get you into rehab.

The sooner you do that,

the sooner you get baby Joey back.

What do I have to do?

Tell us who attacked you.

His name's Jake Lumet.

Sometimes he sells me pills.

And the other one?

I never saw him before.

[loud rock music] (Fin) Jake Lumet.

*

(Munch) Jeez, what a tip.

(Fin) Looks like somebody's been having themselves a good time.

[switches off music]

He's conscious. Call a bus.

Oh, you puke on me, I'll kill you.

Okay, this guy's high.

Tell the paramedics to load up on Narcan.

He's gonna need it.

(Munch) We've got a drug overdose.

What have we here?

Oxycodone.

Paid for by Medicare.

Then Jake's robbing old people and beating up junkies.

Who'd he steal the meds from?

Prescribed for a Jenny Rogers.

[knock on door]

Jennifer Rogers live here?

Um...Jenny just went to the store.

Why? We'd like to talk to her.

Well, I'm Carol. I'm her daughter-in-law.

She's not in any trouble, is she?

Should she be?

Well, she's getting sort of forgetful and wanders off.

She takin' any pain medications?

Mm-hmm, yeah. She's got terrible sciatica.

She mention losing her meds?

Maybe somebody stealing 'em?

You mean like a mugging?

Oh, God, yeah.

Two days ago,

she came home with an awful bruise on her face.

And she insisted it was nothing, but, um--

but she'd slipped, you know?

Where can we find her?

You know what, I'm gonna come with you, okay?

She should be home by now.

Thank you.

Jenny. Oh, hello, Carol.

Hey.

Um, these are police officers and they wanna talk to you.

Hi, Jenny. I'm Olivia. And this is Elliot.

Whatcha drinking?

Tea.

Oh, Jenny, how could you?

I'm sorry.

[sighs] It's okay, sweetheart.

She just started doing this.

She knows we're hard up, and she's trying to help out.

By letting her beg on the street?

Well, we asked her to stop,

but we can't keep her shut up in the apartment all day.

Some bruise you got there, Jenny.

Well.

I fell in the street. It's very icy.

Is that when you lost these?

It must have been.

Did somebody take them from you?

Were you attacked?

Yeah.

Do you know by who?

I wanna show you some photos.

See if you can pick out the person.

Take a look. See if you can pick him out.

(Carol) Well, go on. The police'll protect you.

Maybe him.

Maybe?

(Fin) Good morning, Jake. Wakey wakey.

Hey, hey, hey, hey.

Hey, what'd I--what'd I do?

Same old, same old.

Sodomized a woman, stole her car,

and almost killed her baby.

[coughing] Hey.

Look, man, I'm sick here, okay?

I need a doctor.

And a lawyer. You're under arrest.

Samantha Beavan gave you up.

Who?

(Munch) The woman you forced to have sex.

Hey, look, man,

I don't have to force any woman.

Jake, we know you attacked Sam.

We have you on a security camera.

Yeah? Yeah, well, show me a picture.

(Fin) Just give up your partner

and we'll put in a good word for you.

Yeah. Look, I don't got no partner.

[laughs] You guys ain't got jack, man!

Stop busting our balls.

We got Sam and we even got the old lady you assaulted.

Eyewitness says that you hit her

and took her painkillers.

What painkillers?

The ones you stuffed up your nose

and left scattered all over your crib.

Oh... [laughs]

You mean Jenny's?

She sold them to me.

[chuckles] Yeah.

That Jake's a liar.

If she sold him drugs,

why'd she pick out his photo?

Will her I.D. of Jake stand up?

Well, she's...a bit senile.

We found her panhandling on the street.

Well, she's broke.

She could be dealing.

There's been cases of Medicare patients

selling their prescription drugs.

Buy for $10, sell for $250.

Get George W. on the phone,

that's one way to fix Social Security.

I just talked to ACS.

Sam Beavan's kid spiked a fever,

back in the hospital.

Is it serious? He's in ICU.

May have pneumonia.

Is this caused by his mom's drug use?

The oxycodone made him lethargic.

He aspirated milk into his lungs.

Look...Sam's a nursing mother

trying to take care of her nine-month-old kid.

And Jenny Rogers is just a sweet old lady.

So why does this pathetic junkie

need to beat up helpless women?

Maybe he gets off on it,

or he's trying to intimidate 'em.

(Munch) Check the security tape.

Jake's partner's the one

that's dishing out most of the punishment.

(Benson) Well, the problem is,

Sam says she doesn't know him, and Jake won't name him.

(Cragen) All right, have Novak charge Jake

with sodomy, grand larceny,

kidnap, and attempted murder.

When he's looking at 20 years, he'll cough up a name.

Yeah. Someone just coughed up Sam Beavan's car.

Dumped it in Queens. CSU's bringin' it in now.

(Stabler) What do you got?

Car's wiped clean.

We'll run hair and fibers, but that'll take time.

(Benson) You could've told us that

before we schlepped all the way down here.

(O'Halloran) It's not all bad news.

Found these in the back under the passenger seat.

One's still got some in it. Painkillers.

He wipes the car, but leaves these behind?

That's some kind of stupid.

Well, one of them had to climb in the back

to toss out the baby seat.

Pills must have slipped out of their pocket.

These are two prescriptions for oxycodone

made out to Jenny Rogers.

Old lady's scammin' us?

Remember that routine with the cup?

"What are you drinking?" "Uh, tea."

Panhandling's a pretty good cover

if you're dealing on the street.

We should bring the whole family in.

Got a call from a friend at the 1-5.

Yeah, and?

It's your daughter, Kathleen.

They picked her up for DUI.

They're holding her at the precinct.

Go ahead.

Excuse me, Officer Crawford?

Hey, how are you?

Elliot Stabler.

Thanks for the heads-up to Fin.

Ray Crawford.

What happened?

A car did an illegal U-turn on 23rd,

patrol pulled it over, your kid's at the wheel.

Cops smelled booze on her.

You book her? Yeah.

She never told us who she was.

We didn't know she was your kid

until we found your courtesy shield in her wallet.

Can I see her?

Yeah. This way.

Daddy!

It's okay, it's okay.

I'm so sorry. It's okay.

[sighs]

Why didn't you call me?

Why didn't you tell the officers who I am?

I was scared.

All right. I'm sure you were, baby.

No.

I was scared what you'd do.

Oh.

Mom.

Is everything okay?

Yeah, I'll handle it.

I'm sorry. She went to a party--

And you just let her go.

Elliot. She is 17 years old.

I know. Look, we'll...

Take her home. We'll talk about it tomorrow.

Dad. Night, baby.

Oh, my--

Don't ask.

Get anything?

I waited for you.

Jenny's son? His name is Kevin.

He works as a security guard.

Carol, Jenny, hi.

Kevin, I'm Elliot. Thanks for coming down.

Like we had a choice.

Dragging my mother out in the middle of the night.

You'd think this was a police state.

Kevin, please.

(Stabler) Kevin, relax. No one's forcing you to stay.

We'd just like to know what a guy

that we pulled in for rape

was doing with your mom's prescriptions.

The guy that attacked her was a rapist?

Mom.

Did he do anything to you? No.

He just pushed me.

Well, thank God he only stole your pills.

He said your mom sold him the drugs.

What?

You're gonna believe a rapist?

I know Mom's getting on,

and she loses stuff all the time,

but you've got some nerve accusing her.

(Benson) Kevin, why don't you and Carol

grab a cup of coffee

and let us talk to your mom alone.

So you can make her say what you wanna hear?

Like maybe the truth?

Are you calling us liars?

(Benson) No, we're just wondering

why your mom went to two doctors in the last ten days

for the same painkillers.

And how your mother's pills

ended up with two different drug dealers.

Okay.

Let's go. Come on.

(Jenny) No. Stop it.

Mom. Kevin, stop it!

I'll answer your questions.

You know, selling your pain meds...

is a very serious crime.

I didn't.

Jake Lumet says that you did.

Who the hell is Jake Lumet?

Jenny, you picked his photo out.

Did he attack you or not?

No, I made a mistake.

Did another man attack you?

Two men?

I don't remember.

Do you remember going to two different doctors?

I have very bad arthritis.

Carol said that you had sciatica.

She has that too.

Sometimes I lose my pills,

and I wanna be sure I have enough.

Did you really lose your pills,

Jenny, or did you sell them

'cause you needed the money?

[crying]

Okay, so who do we believe?

The junkie rapist or the crying granny?

She's either selling, or she's in real bad shape.

80 migs every six hours?

That's enough to numb a moose.

Could the doctors be in on it?

The pills Jenny had would fetch about five grand on the street.

A doc in Kentucky

made a million bucks off illegal scrips

before he got caught.

Unless Jenny was running the scam on her own.

I mean, a sweet old lady like her asks for pain meds,

who's gonna think she's a junkie?

What about her loving family, Kevin and Carol?

Checked their records.

Both of them clean.

All right, Elliot and Olivia can talk to Jenny's doctors,

find out how bad she was hurting.

Wait a minute.

The only thing that connects

our two victims is Jake.

He bought pills from Jenny, sold 'em to Sam.

But we still don't know anything about his partner,

except everybody's too scared to give up his name.

(Cragen) All right, you and Munch

light a fire under TARU.

They gotta help us find this creep.

(Morales) Been playing with your security camera footage.

Took me a while to find anything useful,

but if you look here,

I isolate and enlarge the image,

increase contrast,

and for six frames, we've got...

Jake the flake.

What about the other perp?

Uh, no shot of the face. But look at this.

(Fin) Check out the manicure.

Our perp's a woman.

Oh, my God.

Why do I have to see this?

I should be at the hospital. Joey's real sick.

Just tell us who she is, Sam.

I don't know.

(Benson) Sam.

Did you think that we wouldn't believe you

if you told us that you were attacked by a woman?

We know that women can be

more vicious than men when it comes to sexual assault.

(Fin) With men, it's business,

take what they want-- money, drugs, sex.

With a woman, it's personal.

Especially if their victim is

younger and prettier than they are.

Now, you gave us Jake.

Why not this woman?

I'm afraid.

You don't know what she's like.

She'll kill me.

Like she nearly killed your baby.

Look, Jake was driving.

She threw Joey out of the car.

She would have killed him without a second thought.

What is her name, Sam?

Carol.

[knock on door]

Carol Rogers. Police.

(Benson) I'll check the other rooms.

Dead.

Looks like she bled out from a knife wound.

Elliot.

All this stuff is Jenny's.

(Stabler) She lives in a closet?

What's going on?

Oh, my God, Carol. Don't touch her.

Don't--don't touch her. Let me go!

Kevin, please. Let go of me!

Who did this? I don't know.

But you'll contaminate the crime scene.

Sit down.

[sobbing]

We got footprints.

They don't lead anywhere.

Killer must have wiped them clean.

Those are small shoes. Woman's?

Kevin.

Where's your mother?

She should be here.

Is there any way that these are hers?

Oh, no. [groans]

Mom. No.

Checked airports, bus, train terminals,

no sign of Jenny.

How can a little old lady just disappear?

What about Kevin's alibi?

He was at work.

He's a security guard at a furniture warehouse.

(Stabler) How far from his apartment?

Couple of miles just over the East River.

Security officers make rounds alone.

Maybe he slipped out,

stabbed his wife, slipped back in.

See if it's possible.

But what's his motive?

Carol's making money selling drugs.

We checked with the bank.

The account was in her maiden name

with more than 20 grand in it.

And Kevin didn't realize?

(Stabler) He's no genius, but if he did find out

that Carol was squirreling away some cash for a rainy day

and wasn't gonna share it with him,

there's your motive right there.

All right, now, one of Carol's fingernails broke off.

(Fin) Yeah, CSU's still looking for it.

She might have got a piece of her killer.

The knife has a textured handle.

No prints.

(Cragen) Well, and what about the footprints?

CSU says it's a woman's shoe, size seven.

Okay, so we're looking at Jenny

or one of Carol's junkie clients.

Or Sam Beavan.

Who's been staying at the hospital

since her kid is in the ICU.

(Stabler) I just find it very hard to believe

that a little old lady has the strength

to stab to death a streetwise 30-year-old.

Only takes one good blow to the right spot.

Thanks.

Well, Carol wasn't the only death yesterday.

Sam's baby died.

She left the hospital right after it happened.

Could she have gotten to Carol's before you two?

The hospital's a lot closer to Carol's than we are.

Find Sam.

(Benson) Sam?

Police.

Sam?

Sam, are you okay?

Go away.

She's high.

SVU portable, I need a bus at 415 West 98th...

Sam. Sam.

I need you to tell me what happened.

My baby. I killed my baby.

Sam, where did you go

after you left the hospital?

I don't remember.

Who gave you the drugs?

Did you get 'em from Carol?

No.

I hate her. Sam.

Sam, look at me. Look at me.

Carol's dead.

Did you kill her?

She got me hooked.

I'm glad she's dead.

[cell phone ringing]

Benson.

I can take them now.

They can't hurt Joey anymore.

(Benson) Yeah.

You dump the calls?

Okay, thanks.

That was the crime lab.

CSU found bloody fingerprints

on a pay phone outside of Carol's apartment.

The only call that was made around the time of the murder

was to a storage house in Queens.

Crazy broad calls last night,

asks what time we close.

Makes me wait 40 minutes because she lost her key,

and then forgets to

return the, uh, spare.

Her name Jenny Rogers?

Yeah, this is her unit.

Crazy bitch shut it from the inside.

Jenny.

Jenny, are you in there?

(locker guy) Hey, you can't do that.

(Benson) Jenny. What are you doing?

I've come home.

Sweetheart. You can't stay in here.

(Jenny) Yes, I can.

The gas station across the road

has a bathroom, it's quite clean.

My mother made this.

She said it would keep me warm one day.

Are these your parents?

(Jenny) Yeah. That's me in the middle.

And all this stuff was theirs?

Yeah, I stored it here when I sold the house.

I think I need to do some rearranging.

Jenny. What's wrong with your apartment?

Carol is what's wrong with it.

That's why you've come, isn't it?

Did you kill her, Jenny?

Perhaps... I should get a lawyer.

Yeah. Perhaps you should.

(Chandler) This is a tragedy.

(Cragen) It's a homicide.

No, it was self-defense.

Now, how do you figure?

Carol was unarmed, Jenny stabbed her.

She finally cracked after suffering years

of financial, emotional, and physical abuse.

Now, how can you go

with an elder abuse defense if Jenny never reported it?

Because she's one of a million and a half victims

who never do.

You don't believe me, tell your detectives

to ask Jenny why she had to sell her parents' house.

(Jenny) I needed the money for Kevin.

He--he had some bad luck.

He--he had a business venture go wrong.

They often do in Atlantic City.

Gambling debts.

(Jenny) Then he had an accident at work.

(Chandler) After a liquid lunch.

His back was never the same.

No, he needed painkillers.

And then Carol got him hooked on the other stuff,

marijuana and cocaine.

That's where the money went.

But Carol had lots of cash.

Because she was dealing drugs.

Kevin never had any money.

He had to ask her.

Jenny, did Kevin or Carol ever hurt you?

Carol was cruel.

She would stroke my arm

like she was being all loving,

then she would grip it and twist.

How about Kevin? Did he ever hit you?

He didn't mean to hurt me.

What happened the night that Carol died?

(Chandler) You don't have to answer, Jenny.

Yeah, she's right about that.

But with this evidence, a jury will convict

without you ever saying a word.

(Benson) But, if Carol made your life hell,

then the jury's also gonna take that into consideration.

Jenny, you need to tell us your side of the story.

[door opens]

(Cragen) Detectives.

CSU found Carol's missing fingernail.

Warner faxed over this report.

What's going on?

There were blood and skin fragments

under one of Carol's fingernails.

She got a piece of her murderer.

Jenny, DNA says the blood's from a man.

(Stabler) Now, you know who that is, don't you?

[sighs]

I came home from the store,

but I never went back into the apartment.

(Benson) Why not?

I heard people arguing, real angry.

Then a scream,

and the door opened and I hid.

And a man ran down the stairs.

Kevin. Yes.

[sobs]

I went in and I saw Carol.

I pulled the knife out of her,

but I couldn't stop the bleeding.

[door opening]

I heard you found my mother. Why didn't you call me?

We wanted to talk to her first.

What the hell is she doing in there?

Telling us how you murdered Carol.

What?

Why would I kill my wife?

'Cause she robbed you blind.

Don't listen to them, Mom. Don't say anything!

All right, all right, that's enough, come on.

Get off of me!

I didn't do anything!

(Cragen) Scratch says you did.

(Fin) Kevin Rogers, you're under arrest

for the murder of Carol Rogers.

You have the right to remain silent.

Mom...what have you done?

Anything you do say can be used against you

in a court of law.

You have a right to an attorney.

If you cannot afford one...

You okay?

Tough one.

Especially for the mom.

What happened at the 1-5 two nights ago?

My kid got in trouble.

Good night.

Why didn't you tell me?

Nothing to tell. I took care of it.

Patrol issued a summons for a moving violation,

they brought Kathleen down to verify I.D.

After you got everybody to make her DUI go away.

Okay...

what are you saying, Captain?

Somebody starts digging,

they're gonna find the paper trail.

Radio tapes from the sector car

telling Dispatch they stopped a DUI.

If it comes back to me, I'll take care of it.

What about the guys who stuck their necks out for you?

Well, they've got kids.

They understand.

That the message you wanna send your kids?

That the law only applies to certain people?

I'm taking care of my family.

And given the chance, I'd do it again.

Am I interrupting something?

No.

Arraignment go okay?

Yeah.

Kevin was denied bail.

I'm gonna need your reports as soon as possible.

Detective Stabler will type up his DD5s now.

(Novak) On the day of the murder,

what happened when you went back to the apartment?

(Jenny) I heard people arguing inside.

I didn't want to go in,

so I hid on the stairs.

Then I heard a scream.

What happened next?

Someone ran down the stairs.

Who was that man, Jenny?

Objection.

Leading the witness.

She just testified that she heard

an argument between a man and a woman.

As the woman in question

now has a knife sticking out of her chest,

"someone" has to be a man.

(Delroy) Or a woman who sounds like a man.

(Petrovsky) All right, Mr. Delroy.

Miss Novak?

(Novak) Who did you see running down the steps, Jenny?

I was hiding.

[sighs] And I...didn't see him.

You didn't see him?

No.

I was too scared to look.

Let me remind you of your grand jury testimony.

Read that.

Read it, the part

where you say you saw your son, Kevin,

running down the stairs.

I never saw him.

You lied... to the grand jury?

(Jenny) I was angry at Kevin for marrying that awful woman.

I wanted to punish him.

You realize you're committing perjury.

You could go to prison.

Did you see Kevin run down the stairs?

I didn't.

I'm nearly 70.

I get confused.

I'm very sorry.

I'm sure you are.

Nothing further.

(Delroy) Move for dismissal, Your Honor.

Only the testimony of Mrs. Rogers can put my client

anywhere near the scene of the crime.

Without it, the People don't come close

to making a prima facie case.

Any more witnesses, Miss Novak?

No, Your Honor.

Then I have no choice but to grant the defense's request.

The case is dismissed.

Mr. Rogers, you're free to go.

Mrs. Rogers, you may step down.

Let's go.

I don't know what to say.

I-I really thought Jenny

was strong enough to testify.

That was Rikers.

Maybe she would have been

if she hadn't visited her son last night.

How the hell did you let that happen?

I can't stop a mother from visiting her son.

Looks like we can't stop a son

from beating up his mother, either.

(Cragen) You gonna charge Jenny with perjury?

Well, what's the point of sending her to jail?

She's still the victim.

Well then, there's nothing more we can do.

She's made her bed.

Yeah, on a mattress in a closet.

You know, if we don't do something,

Kevin's gonna keep right on abusing her.

(Cragen) It's over.

We're not social workers.

[knock on door]

[door unlatching]

Yeah, what is it?

Deirdre Bathhurst

from Adult Protective Services.

I'm here to see Jenny Rogers.

May I come in?

She's inside.

You can't come in.

You're trespassing.

Get out.

Miss Bathhurst is legally entitled to a police escort.

Hi, Jenny, how are you?

(Kevin) What for? I got no beef with you.

She's entering a dangerous home.

Haven't you heard?

The guy who lives here is a murderer.

I didn't murder anybody.

You should be looking for the guy who killed my wife,

not bothering innocent people.

But what are you doing?

(Bathhurst) Checking to make sure Mrs. Rogers has adequate food.

I haven't done the shopping yet.

You need to do that, sir.

I got her lunch.

(Stabler) What, french fries?

Next thing you know

you'll be telling me that ketchup's a vegetable, huh?

Hey, Jenny, how you doing?

(Jenny) Oh, I'm fine.

Please, leave us alone.

Okay.

(Kevin) You heard her, she's my mom.

I love her, and I'm gonna take care of her.

I've even given her my room to sleep in.

What are your stinky sweats doing tucked under the pillow?

This is police harassment. Get out.

Jenny, this is my card.

You call me anytime, okay?

Get out!

Now!

Have a nice day.

I'll visit every two days.

That's it?

Our maximum case load is supposed to be 30.

I have nearly 50.

Some of them in a lot worse shape than Jenny.

You saw the fridge, you saw the cupboards,

there's nothing in 'em.

She's sleeping on the floor.

Jenny was eating and she was clean.

Unless she makes a complaint

or we see concrete evidence of abuse, we can't act.

I'm sorry, Detective, but that's the law.

Thanks, anyway. Thank you.

(Benson) Hey.

What's goin' on?

I don't know. What's goin' on?

Cragen's pretty steamed.

Kevin's lawyer claims that you harassed him.

Kevin Rogers' attorney

has filed an official complaint against you.

Of course he has.

Captain, look.

Kevin's gonna do anything

to keep his punching bag at home.

How many times do you think you can break the rules

and get away with it?

You stay away from him.

Thank you.

It's after midnight, Jenny.

Oh, what are you doing here?

You were told to stay away!

I'll tell my son!

Fine, let's go wake him up. Come on.

No, don't. Please.

Just leave.

If I leave, will you go back inside?

Or are you too afraid?

I-I gotta get some money.

My son lost his job because of the trial.

If I don't help out, we're gonna get evicted.

Kevin is a big boy, he can take care of himself.

Look, Jenny.

Let me take you to a shelter.

They'll give you a bed for the night.

Come on.

No. I'm stayin' here.

If you don't mind, nobody will give me any money

with you hanging around.

Jenny Rogers, you're under arrest

for disorderly conduct.

How am I being disorderly?

Huh? Obstructing traffic.

Let's go.

Don't you have a family to go home to?

How much can you make doing this?

Oh, on a good day, $20 an hour.

People feel sorry for me.

(Stabler) Mm-hmm. He do that to you?

I burnt myself on the stove.

You know, I see guys like him all the time.

Usually after they've raped or beaten up a woman.

Yeah.

Now, Jenny.

All you gotta do

is just tell me what he did to you.

That way, we can get him the treatment that he needs.

Where, in prison?

He burns you, he hits you,

he makes you beg out on the street

in the middle of the night.

Jenny, he murdered his own wife.

Do you think prison'll fix him?

He'd be lost. He'd really go bad.

Like he's good now.

No.

You think I'm blind.

But I know my son.

I know what he did.

Then give him up.

Do you have children?

Yes.

What would you do if one of them got into trouble?

You would help them.

It was my job to bring Kevin up right,

and I failed.

I won't fail him again.

So don't ask me to betray him

because I never will.

(Stabler) What are you doing here?

I called your home, I called your cell,

I called the desk.

They said you signed back in.

Why don't you tell me what you're doing?

I just didn't want you to get in trouble.

You haven't done anything stupid?

We just keep losing people.

The baby, Sam, even Carol.

I just didn't want another victim.

What is she gonna do?

I'm taking her back to her son's.

Good night, Liv.

Go home.

You want a way out?

Don't think there is one.

Maybe there is.

I talked to Corrections at Rikers.

They say Kevin was jonesing real bad when he was in there.

He's still using.

He's gonna be looking to score.

Explains why he made Jenny go begging at midnight.

Do you know where he'd go to buy?

(Fin) More or less.

But we're gonna have to get more creative than that.

[tires screeching]

What'd I do now, man?

Get in the car.

Aw!

I swear to you, man, I'm clean, all right?

I changed my ways-- Shut up!

Okay. We need a favor.

This guy's looking to buy.

We want you to sell to him.

What's wrong with his own dealer?

He's on vacation.

Look man, I told you. I changed my ways, all right?

Wait, wait--

Change back.

I want you to sell him this for half a G.

(Naldo) Whoa, whoa, whoa. What about my overhead, man?

That's the favor, Naldo.

You don't, I'm busting you.

All right, where does he score?

We'll take you there.

(Stabler) What if Kevin doesn't show up today?

(Fin) Come back tomorrow.

Relax, man.

Narcotics is all about waitin'.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

(Stabler) Got him.

Okay, come on, Naldo, move in.

He's not buyin'.

Just wait.

Okay, Naldo, get clear.

Go. Choke on it.

He's all yours.

(officer on radio) 10-4.

The product's in his right hand.

Freeze. Police. Hands in the air!

Come on.

What's up, man? I'm just out for a walk.

Spread 'em.

Come on.

(Kevin) I haven't got anything.

What's this, then?

That's three and a half grams possession

with intent to distribute.

That's a class C felony. Three to six years.

They'll deal that down

to a one-year mandated treatment upstate.

That good enough?

Good enough.

(Munch) This just came in.

Victim's a student at Hudson U., raped and stabbed.

Address is 221 W. 14th Street.

Paramedics are on the scene.

Got it.

Did you know they arrested Kevin?

I heard.

It was you, wasn't it?

Jenny, he needs help. And now he's getting it.

Help in jail?

(Benson) It's a program.

Kevin has a chance to get better

and you can live your life without being afraid.

What life?

You took my son away?

What have I got to live for now?
