Hey, ronda!

Ronda, call 911.

Tell them we have An intruder!

Hey, hey, That's my shower curtain!

Get back here!

This crazy bitch Terrified my family.

I want her arrested now.

Sir, we have to locate The suspect first.

(ronda) How hard can that be?

She left her clothes behind, And her wallet.

You go back in.

(stabler) Liv.

Patrol dumped This one on us why?

Because a whack job was found Naked in the shower?

Elliot. Last week, It was because

A guy had his johnson out, Taking a piss in the alley.

What's next, felony Puppy-humping in the dog run?

Elliot, I called you in.

Why, because Your spidey sense

Tells you she was A rape victim?

Because she's Your daughter.

Kathleen.

Elliot, you can't Investigate this.

Sure I can. I'm a cop.

Not tonight.

You're the parent Of a perp.

Patrol only gave me The heads up

Because they found Your business card

In kathleen's wallet.

I'm not going to let The precinct squad handle this.

I'm gonna find kathleen.

Mr. And mrs. Foster, hi.

My partner tells me you've never Seen this young woman before?

Never.

There's gotta be a connection Between you and her.

You saying We knew this psycho?

Maybe.

Maybe you don't realize From where.

Do either of you work At hudson university?

No, but our neighbors

Have a son who goes there,

And they had a party In their garden tonight.

That's probably how she Found her way into your house.

She just climbed Over the garden wall,

Saw the window open.

I'll go talk To the neighbors.

There's no reason To believe

That this is nothing more Than a harmless prank.

A prank?

She broke into our house, She stripped naked,

And she took a shower.

My baby was asleep In the next room.

She could have been hurt. I can understand that.

But there's no reason to believe That this woman is dangerous.

She's just a college kid...

Behaving badly.

Can I get Your name and badge number?

Detective stabler.

Oh, now I get it.

You're trying To cover this up.

No, no, my daughter Would never hurt anyone.

Get out.

(will) I am so busted.

Stupid neighbors Always ratting me out

To my parents.

Right, and I'm sure You don't deserve it.

Kathleen came back To the party after her shower,

But she didn't stay.

Where'd she go? I already Told her.

With this dude porter,

And a couple chicks I don't know.

I'm waiting for him To text me back.

How did it go With the fosters?

Oh, I stepped in it. [phone beeps]

Porter's on his way home To sack out.

He said the girls Were heading in

To riverside park And 83rd street.

She's got no money, She's got no clothes. Elliot, She's not alone.

One of her girlfriends Probably took her home.

They're all drunk. They're not thinking straight.

They'd be waving Good-bye to her

If a total stranger Came up and offered her

A ride home In his van.

You can't Think like that.

Don't talk to me Like I'm a civilian.

Hey.

There's somebody On the playground.

Kathleen!

Daddy!

It's so cool You're here!

Come on! You gotta Come try it.

If you tilt Your head back,

It looks like you're Floating in outer space

Like an astronaut Above some freaky planet.

Come on! I don't think so, Honey.

Hey, olivia!

You wanna Come play?

Uh, that's probably not The best idea, sweetie.

Come on, let me-- Let's go.

But I don't want to go.

But I don't-- I don't want--

I don't want To talk about it, dad.

That's not an option.

Fine, yell at me. I don't care.

Kathleen, I don't want to fight with you.

But you're in A lot of trouble here.

You broke in To someone's house.

I didn't break in. The window was open.

So that They don't get worse.

Since the start Of the fall term.

Someone's moving some major Weight through campus.

I read about The two o.D.S.

Three, actually.

So narcotics Sent me in.

Lucky me, I get to suffer

Through beowulf All over again.

Mm-hmm, And hang with my kid.

Not as a target.

She's not dealing, Detective,

Just using.

What's she on?

Coke and downers.

She gets real high, And uses valium

To smooth out The crash.

Get her into rehab.

By next semester, She'll be back in school

Getting straight "A"S.

Who's dealing At hudson?

I can't tell you that, And you know better to ask. I have a right to know.

Really?

You give out sensitive intel To the parents

Of kids you collar?

(tutuola) El. What?

Your wife's downstairs, And she's upset.

Kathy, What's wrong?

She's gone. Kathleen's gone.

What do you mean she's gone? What happened?

She said she was hungry, So I made her a sandwich.

And when I took it up To her room,

She'd snuck out the window And down the oak tree.

What the hell Were you thinking?

Why didn't you just Stay with her?

Don't blame this on me.

We'll find her. We'll find her.

Maybe she went Back to hudson.

No, I don't think so.

She's got some tension With her roommate.

Where do we start?

I have an idea.

Who's she? It's a long story.

What do you got?

There's an abandoned Dry cleaners

On second and a, Where hudson students

Hang out and get high.

What's back there?

What the hell Are you doing?

Police! Whoa, whoa!

She picked me up In a bar.

(tutuola) Shut up!

Kathleen. Kathleen.

Kathleen!

Kathleen!

She's o.D.'d.

What's she on?

I don't know.

She took A bunch of pills.

[coughing and gagging]

[coughing continues]

(parnell) We had to sedate her.

After we pumped her stomach, She became very...

Agitated.

Your daughter Is very sick.

You mean She's a junkie.

No.

She's self-medicating On street drugs

To cope With her illness.

What's wrong With her?

Well, based On her behavior,

And the history You gave us,

Kathleen's drug And alcohol abuse,

The hypersexuality,

The dwi, The credit card she stole,

We think It's bipolar disorder.

My daughter's not crazy.

I didn't say She was crazy.

I said she's sick.

How can we help her?

Bpd can be managed With medication.

Once we get her on lithium, The chances are good

That she can lead A normal life.

I can't do this.

No, don't go. I need some air.

[breathing heavily]

[grunts]

Whatever you're Going to say, don't.

Something's come up.

Can it wait? No.

All right, What is it?

The owners Of the house

That kathleen broke into Filed a complaint.

I saw that coming. Not against you.

On kathleen.

They claim Some jewelry is missing.

A diamond pendant.

Kathleen was wearing A diamond pendant

When we found her On the playground.

Cubic zirconia.

I gave that to her For her 18th birthday.

Maybe the homeowners are trying To pull an insurance scam.

You know, using the break in To file a false claim.

It wouldn't Be the first time.

But unfortunately, Their lawyers have

Lodged a complaint With the d.A.'s office,

Demanding her arrest.

I can't help you.

My office May prosecute your daughter.

It's a misdemeanor.

It's criminal trespass At best.

It's a felony now.

That necklace was worth A lot of money.

Kathleen's looking at grand Larceny three, burg two.

How about if I talk To the homeowners?

They're claiming You used your badge

To sweep this Under the rug.

No, no, no, look, I would Have done the same thing

Even if kathleen Weren't my daughter.

Really, how many junkie thieves

You let slide recently?

Look, if they got A beef with me,

They can bring me up On charges.

Kim.

My daughter's In a bad way right now.

But she's a good kid.

So I hear, elliot.

But my hands are tied. What do you mean?

There are alternatives, Drug treatment, counseling.

I mean, you cut deals Every day out of here.

Yeah, but I can't Discuss that with you.

I've said too much already.

I gotta do something.

Get kathleen A good lawyer.

I won't let her Go to rikers.

Doctor said She's mentally ill.

Hypothetically speaking, If a defendant

Has a diagnosed Psychiatric condition,

She can't be arrested

If she's admitted To a mental health facility.

(maddox) Your new a.D.A.'s A smart cookie.

Looney bin's The safest place to hide

From the long arm Of the law.

I have to say, elliot, I'm surprised you called me.

My daughter Needed a shark.

You're the deadliest One I know. Thanks.

Look, if I could get The necklace back,

Do you think we could Do some horse trading?

Maybe swap it For a walk? Don't.

If you admit kathleen Has the necklace,

Then you're handing them The evidence to convict her

On the larceny charge.

Let me introduce you To kathleen. Oh, no, no, no.

No, no, no.

You're not going at her Without me in there.

I'm not going At her at all.

I'm on your side this time. Try to remember that.

I will. I'm still going in there.

Only if you want to be called as A witness against your daughter.

You know A third party in a room

Nullifies Attorney/client privilege.

Don't worry, I'll be gentle.

(benson) Elliot.

Detectives jawarski And corman

From the d.A.'s squad.

Sorry for your troubles,

But we gotta Take her in.

She's being admitted As a psych patient.

Smart move. It's not a game.

(kathleen) I'm not crazy!

Honey. Go back inside, baby.

No, this bitch wants To lock me up!

Shh, no, no, no. They do.

Fine.

Take me away, boys.

You don't understand What you're doing.

I'm not going To the nuthouse.

You're going if I have To commit you myself.

You can't. Kathleen's 19.

Legally, It's her choice.

She's in no shape To make that decision.

(maddox) Doctor said she's not a danger To herself or others.

Without showing homicidal

Or suicidal behavior,

They cannot forcibly Commit her. Told you.

I brought you here To help me with her.

She's my client, Elliot, not you.

I've got to respect Her wishes,

Even if I don't Agree with them.

Come here, come here.

Listen to me. Listen to me!

They're gonna take you down To central booking.

Arraignments are down For the week,

And that means you're Gonna be in a cell

With the scum of the earth Until monday morning.

Do you understand that?

So?

You sure you don't want To listen to your dad?

I'm sick of him Telling me what to do.

This is my life!

Kathleen stabler, you're under Arrest for burglary...

I can't let you do this. And grand larceny.

Detective, step back, Or you're a collar.

You want to do something With your partner here?

Elliot, you gotta let This play out.

You have the right To remain silent.

Listen to me. I'll go with her.

And I will stay with her As long as I can.

Breathe, you two. She's fine.

You saw kathleen?

I just came back From central booking.

She's entertaining The entire holding cell.

The hookers really love Her version of I will survive.

She's manic.

But she's Perfectly safe.

She's okay Till arraignment.

And then what?

The d.A.'s amenable To a lesser charge.

But the victims Are out for blood.

What's the game plan?

Kathleen refuses To admit

She has a mental illness, So the psych defense is out.

We'll have to go On the offensive.

Put the victims on trial.

It's good, Isn't it?

Wait, I-- I don't understand.

The homeowners claim Kathleen broke in.

But the husband went next door To complain about the music.

He could have met Kathleen at the party,

Snuck her Inside his house

For a little Shower scene.

The wife wakes up.

He concocts The intruder story

So he wouldn't have To explain

The naked girl In his bathroom.

You want to lie To the judge?

We don't know what happened That night, kathy.

Kathleen knows. Why don't you ask her?

I don't want the truth, I just need plausible story

That gives the jury Reasonable doubt.

You're constantly complaining About the dirty tricks

That defense attorneys play, And now you want to do--

That's work. This is about kathleen.

No, this is about you.

Don't go there. I'm not going there.

Don't go there.

Is there some history here?

Some skeletons In the closet

I should know about?

Bipolar disorder Runs in families.

If we could Show the court

That kathleen Is predisposed to bpd,

Then the judge Might consider

Alternative sentencing.

Right, psychiatric treatment Instead of jail.

(maddox) Yes.

But it'll only happen If kathleen admits she's sick.

She won't. She won't.

Or we can show A family history.

It's up to you, elliot.

[doorbell rings]

Coming, gladys, they won't mind If I'm five minutes--

Elliot.

Hi, mom.

Well, uh, come in, come in!

Um, I just have to make One phone call.

Sit down.

Just toss the magazines.

Gladys, bernadette.

I can't go With you today.

No, no, no. It's okay, it's okay.

My son is here.

Right.

Okay, I'll talk to you.

Okay, that's done.

I'll just get Some lemonade.

No, I'm fine, mama.

I'll be right with you.

Oh, it's hot As hades out there.

I hope you have Air conditioning.

But, you know, the ocean air Is so wonderful.

I just--I can't bring myself To shut it out.

It's so wonderful To see you, elliot.

You look great.

How long has it been? I don't know.

A couple years.

You didn't call me When eli was born.

Kathy did. Well...

How is everyone? Everyone's fine.

Uh, you're lying.

I can always tell. You squint.

Kathleen got arrested.

But you're Taking care of it?

I'm trying.

I mean, you know a lot Of people, you can pull strings.

People who can help?

I need your help.

Mine?

You haven't asked For my help

Since I taught you How to ride a bicycle.

Mama.

Kathleen, she's got Emotional problems.

Aw, little katie.

I don't believe it.

The doctor says She's bipolar.

She's manic-depressive.

Doctors? Those idiots.

She's just high-spirited.

She gets it from me.

That's why I'm here.

Why?

I need you To talk to the judge.

And say what, exactly?

That you have Problems too.

Me?

That's ridiculous.

Mom, you know What I'm talking about.

No.

What--

The mood swings.

Your ideas. The crazy ideas.

What crazy ideas?

Mama.

Hitchhiking to santa fe To meet georgia o'keefe.

Well, the woman Was a genius.

Cops saw you On the side of the bqe,

Picked you up In your slip.

Well, I was wearing it As a cocktail dress.

When I was ten, You wanted to go to paris

To be a painter.

But I am a painter.

Look, they sell my work On the boardwalk.

You took me To the airport

And tried to buy tickets With your macy's card.

That was the only Credit card your father

Would allow me to have. And dad picked us up At jfk--

No, it was idlewild.

Every time he brought You back home,

You got into bed,

And you stayed there For a month.

Yeah, because I was upset.

Because he was always trying To crush my dreams.

They're fantasies.

[stutters]

Fantasies.

You're just like Your father.

All buttoned up.

No imagination, No spirit.

If anything is just a little Out of the ordinary,

It scares you To death, doesn't it?

Anything that doesn't fit Into your neat little boxes,

You just can't take it.

This is not About me.

I need you to help Your granddaughter kathleen.

[seethes]

Well, just help her yourself.

Just go tell the judge That your mother's

Nuttier than a fruitcake.

Mom, I need you To talk to the judge.

Mom, mom, Don't walk away from me.

I need some air.

Mom.

Mom.

Look, I didn't come here To upset you.

You didn't?

I just want To help kathleen.

Mom.

Are you sure they're right? The doctors?

I'm sure.

Was I a bad mother?

No.

Well then, how come I haven't seen you

For the last three years, huh?

Every time I go to the city, I see kathy and the kids,

But you're never home.

Mom, it's a job.

Things come up. I gotta do overtime.

I heard that line For 27 years.

Every time your father Didn't want to do something,

He suddenly had To pull a double.

You've been Avoiding me.

I'm avoiding you? Yes.

The minute dad dies, You sell the house

And leave town, And I'm avoiding you?

Well, what was I supposed to do?

Spend the rest Of my life on my knees,

Saying my rosary, and praying For his immortal soul?

He sure as hell Needed it.

[laughs] And then some.

That life wasn't for me.

I felt like I was suffocating,

Like I would-- I would die

If I spent Another minute there.

Here, at least I can breathe.

Couldn't breathe Around your son?

You didn't need me.

Until now. You're wrong.

I always need you In my life.

But it wasn't your life. It isn't your life.

You're living your Father's life all over again.

If you could only find a way To be your own man.

I knew This was a mistake.

Hey, you wanted To be an architect.

Do you remember that?

Wait a minute, I didn't want To be an architect.

I wanted To be a cop.

Oh, no, You were very talented.

You used to build The most amazing buildings

With your blocks, And your legos.

I was eight Years old.

You would sketch These fantastic cities...

I was eight years old. With skyscrapers going up To the heavens.

It was kid stuff.

It was your passion.

What happened to it? Where did it go?

Into responsibilities.

Into taking care Of my children.

I don't have the luxury Of staying in bed for a month

When things don't go my way.

Okay, I'm sorry. Listen to me.

Please help me.

Please help me.

Just admit you're sick. Elliot.

If you--if you could just Take a deep breath,

And smell The ocean air,

Feel the sun on your face, the Wind, the sand beneath your--

Oh, I know.

Let's build A sand castle.

Okay?

Like we used to When you were little.

Remember that summer That we rented a cottage

In wildwood For the whole summer?

And you used to come out Every morning and start digging.

And then by sunset, you'd have This whole metropolis.

Then you'd cry Like a baby

When the tide came And washed it all away.

Do you know what I remember about that summer?

Huh?

The night you told dad You were leaving us.

Do you remember that?

Running around, shouting how You needed to be free.

You know, we're gonna need Some shells for the--

For the windows.

When dad picked me up In his arms,

You ran off And got his gun.

Threatened to kill yourself,

Do you remember that?

Oh, yeah, and-- And some pebbles for the moat.

Do you remember him Laughing at you,

Because it was only The millionth time

That he'd heard That from you?

And when I cried, You lifted up the revolver

And you shot at us.

I know...

We'll need seaweed For rapunzel's hair

Hanging down From the tower.

I remember that Crazed look on your face.

Oh, this is gonna Be good.

I wondered why you hated us So much, you wanted us dead.

Come on, elliot.

We need sticks For the drawbridge.

Stop it, stop it! What?

Why did you do that?

It's okay. I can do it again.

Good-bye, mom.

I want to apologize For what my daughter did. Save your breath.

A pretty speech isn't going To make me drop the charges.

I didn't expect it to.

That was ronda's Great-grandmother's.

She'll be happy To have it back.

Kathleen took it.

What you just told me could put Your daughter behind bars.

Yes.

It's the only way To save her.

You made sure It never came up.

Liv, what do you Want me to tell you?

Things happen, I deal with it.

I move on. I'm not going to wallow in it.

Elliot, let me Tell you something.

Bottling it up inside Hasn't worked for you.

And neither has Beating up perps, or walls,

Or garbage cans.

Kathleen may be sick.

But you're the one With the problem.

I'm through The looking glass here, liv.

I never thought I'd see My daughter locked up or...

Glad she's in rikers.

It sounds like you Got it all worked out.

It was the only Option I had.

[door closes]

(benson) The youngest picture I've ever seen of elliot

Is the day he entered The academy.

That's because he's Erased his childhood.

See, I... I made certain choices.

And I lost my son.

Thank you for showing me The photos.

It was selfish.

I just needed you to know.

Elliot is a good man.

And I know him Well enough to know

That he didn't Get it from his father.

Thank you for that, dear.

About my flamboyance.

He would've liked A more conventional mother.

So you were always...

Different. Yeah.

My mother used to call me A flibbertigibbet.

I've been accused Of being impulsive,

Irresponsible, flighty.

And those are just The g-rated words.

But you never Saw a doctor?

In my day,

Eccentricity was-- Was tolerated.

You know, now they've got A pill for everything.

Did you ever Try medication?

Once.

I, um--

I had a fight with joe.

And his gun went off.

He had me committed.

And they tied me down.

And they forced pills Down my throat.

I felt like An empty shell.

Like someone had Reached inside of me

And scooped out my soul.

And I would rather be dead Than go to that place again.

You know?

So I mean, I am what I am.

I accept myself.

And I live life On my own terms.

But you pay A pretty steep price.

Yeah, well, Maybe I do.

But it's my life.

And I'm not gonna go Parading myself

In front Of some court

And announce To the world

That I'm crazy.

But would you do it For your granddaughter?

Grandma b?

Oh, my little katie. Come here, baby.

Got two, Three minutes,

And I gotta Get her back.

Okay. I owe you big time.

I can't believe You're here.

Well,

How could I miss The opportunity

To see how ravishing You are in day-glo?

I understand you've been Getting yourself

Into all kinds Of trouble, huh?

Are you gonna Yell at me too?

Me? Your partner in crime?

[laughs]

Remember when we took Your grandfather's fedora

For the snowman, And his last cuban cigar?

He was pretty pissed.

But you told him To get stuffed.

Yeah, well, I was trying Not to curse in front of you.

As if the f-bomb doesn't Get dropped at my house.

Usually at me.

Grandma?

Do you think I'm crazy?

Do you feel crazy?

I don't know.

It's like the world is full Of these tingling force fields,

And everything I touch Makes me shiver.

Yeah, and then, Sometimes, just the thought

Of getting out of bed Makes you so tired,

You feel like you need A 12-hour nap?

Yeah.

Well, that's the price We pay for greatness, honey.

The higher you fly, The farther you fall.

Well, this time, I crashed and burned.

Dad hates me.

No, he doesn't hate you.

Believe me, If he hated you,

He'd just walk right out Of your life.

I'm in jail. He put me here.

No, you put yourself here.

So you came here to tell me You agree with him?

Um...

In 1969, there was This amazing snowstorm.

It was a blizzard; everybody Was snowbound for days.

Everyone except me And your father.

I drove us Into the city.

We were the only car On broadway.

It was just glorious.

I drove faster And faster.

I felt like I was driving A magical sleigh.

And your father was scared.

He kept shouting "Stop, mommy, stop!"

But I was chasing snowflakes.

So many Beautiful snowflakes.

Until I chased one Into a lamppost.

I totaled the car.

And I broke Your daddy's arm.

He never told me That story.

No, he never told anybody What really happened.

See, we all Make mistakes, katie.

There's no shame in that.

But you do have to take Responsibility for your actions.

I've done a lot Of bad stuff too.

With boys.

You're a beautiful girl. Boys have always liked you.

They just Wanted sex.

And I gave it To them.

A lot of them.

Even ones I didn't know.

When I think about it, It makes me want to die.

Honey.

There's nothing We can do about the past.

But you can Start fresh tomorrow.

How?

By hugging The ones who love you,

Even when you think That they might not want it.

It's time.

Wait, you didn't answer My question, grandma.

Do you think I'm crazy?

I think you're different.

Like me.

I've lived the life I wanted to live.

And I've paid A terrible price.

Okay, now you have To do something for me.
